Some claim that "modern medicine is dangerous, it relies on harmful chemicals and is led by the interests of pharmaceutical companies and doctors" But how accurate is this claim? There are many fallacies about the subject of alternative medicine, the first of which is its name, alternative medicine is not medicine. If you have a specific disease and want to receive unconventional treatments, consult your doctor first, do not stop your treatment for any disease, and do not take any herbs without asking your doctor.

The alternative medicine treatments can cause harm if used improperly. Even natural herbs contain pharmaceuticals that may lead to side effects and complications.
