complementary and alternative medicine, alternative medicine health careEver since hearing a family story about a relative who went to the docs to ask about a new mole who was then told not to worry multiple visits before later finding out it was cancerous, I am quick to look for a second medical opinion. Luckily, in the case of the relative above, she was able because of her own feeling something wasn’t right, to nip the cancer in the bud before dealing with drawn out, expensive treatment. She’s now healthy as ever.

I turn to complementary and alternative medicine for a back up after being prescribed traditional drugs. In recent year’s however my health focus has turned exclusively to alternative medicine healthcare. This isn’t because I don’t trust modern medicine. It is because health insurance is a real drag and most alternative medicine is available over the counter. After doing some research online about curing let’s say a sore throat without pills or cough medicine, it is amazing how many long running complementary and alternative medicine options are out there. People had to find natural health solutions before modern medicine and now many of these alternative medicine health care practices are proven effective.
