Alternative Medicine.

[Growth&Courage]

A Throat specialist was telling me that bacteria and viruses are becoming more and more immune to our antibiotics as the need to increased the dosage and strength of antibiotics become a necessity but poses some global public health problems.

I asked if Alternative Medicine such as Naturopathy, Homeopathy, Ayuverdic treatments or acupuntures would be a solution to this.

Although he didn't replied back(just as I expected), I am interested if anyone of you can comment on:

(i) The dilemma of the rate of bacteria being immuned to antibiotics is faster than the advancement of our antibiotics.

(ii) The rise of Alternative Medicine - What's the outlook of it in the upcoming future? Do you swear by it? Any success?


(BTW, the throat specialist did prescribed me Augmentin which I hesitatingly take after my meals)

You're right only bacterium infections could be treated with antibiotics.

How many mg are you on Augmentin? What about Alternative med?

hey gay rabbbit, go felch some dirty cummy ass and shut your mouth up.

I think for the most part its worthless and I think it actually can be dangerous by replacing appropriate medical care. Sure certain herbs and other substances can have medical potential but Ive been to health food stores and herbalists who made wildly outrageous claims about the potentcy and effects of the products.
As for the drinking urine, that is a practice in India that is called Amorelia and is when the first urination of the day is drunken to help induce meditation, there is some validity to it helping enter meditative states.

I've taken some awesome homeopathics that I'd prefered to OTC or perscribed meds. Particularly an anti-inflammatory and a sinus treatment. But the stuff I got was from my chiropractor...who would have no issue with me going to an MD if he thought it necessary. I know some people in alternative medicine have issues with "regular" dr's.

I avoid antibiotics if I can because they really really bother my guts. I've had dr's throw them at me ever since I was a baby and now I only take them if I get strep or something along those lines that could easily effect someone at work.

i didnt think augmentin was ''weak''.


dude, take quixtar double XX vitamins. Dexter Yeager swears by them

That's exactly how I feel too. I've been given endless strands of antibiotics for all sorts of bacterium treatments from skin discorders through to sore throats since I was young and it upsets my disgestive system big time. The problem also is that "regular" dr's always prescribed antibiotics stronger each time for me, which is problematic as I have to rely on stronger ones each time.

I am starting to have serious objections to the mainstream approach as I am discovering the wonders of naturopathic as well as homeopathics remedies.
Unfortunate that they are rare where I live though.

or maybe have him look up bacterial infection treatments by other means than antibiotics. you know when that is commonly used?????? (after of course youve given your body a chance to fight it off)


when you have VRSA, or worse.

as far as taking something like echinaccea, sure, thats great. supplementing your diet with vitamins, minerals, MSM, and good sleep hygeine... even better.

what youre failing to say with ''alternative medicine'' is the reliance on ''prevention'' doesnt do much good when youre sick as a dog.

i know all too well how this can feel; i am sorry youve been through that.


oh, youre god damn crazy if you think that ''stronger'' is the (main, only)criteria for prescribing antibiotics.

VRSA is very scary, I have to gown and glove up just to enter the patients room, and now once just a creature of the hospital its now found on weight room equipment and several athletes have come down with it, some noticeable names as well.
Most herbal replacement therapies are harmless, but youre not going to cure serious illnesses with them and people who believe they can get hurt by these alternative medicine people. Never discontinue antibiotic therapy until youre finished with them all, thats one thing that leads to resistance and risk of a more serious infection.
Alot of these alternative medicine people are just modern day snake oil salespeople with lil training and regard for peoples health.

Juicedpigtails - what does VRSA stands for?
I do take echinaccea amongst other supplements too, but my throat is still easily infected for some reasons.
Also, echinaccea is supposed to cut down the duration of your sickness when taken during the course of your sickness, so it doesn't just have to be for preventative measures. ALthough, I do totally understand your view.
What are some of the natural, side-effects ways to fighting off bacteria? What - garlic and honey?

What are "quixtar double XX vitamins" . I'll do a search now on "Dexter Yeager."

Rabbit - My apologies, I misinterpreted your tone "start drinking your own urine and youll never get sick again". I didn't think that it was attached to a positive advice. Sorry man. You're normally a smart ass though.

VRSA used to MRSA, Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureaus thats been becoming resistant to antibiotics and penicillin. The last line of defense for this was a superantibiotic Vancomycin, but now strains have become resistant to that as well, hence VRSA. It used to a nosocomial infection, as in you get it while you stay in the hospital, but recently it has been seen out in the general public. Its very dangerous.
