A short essay about conventional vs alternative medicine It is a fact that conventional medicine heal you when being sick. However, it is well known that it could be harmful if you take a western madicine treatment for a long time. On the other hand I am not a big fan of alternarive medicine like homeopathic medicine since it is sientifically proven it does not give you any good to your health. It is everything in your mind. As far as I am concerned, I am keen on being healthy so you can avoid any kind of treatment, either conventional or alternative. Nowadays all of us know about the importance about having a good diet, eating vegetables, and food with omega-3 like nuts or fish as well as doing exercise at least three times a week. Having said that, if at some point you are sick, I would take a convenctional treatment as long as it was not for a long time or very often.
