Amina Motzer: Yes, Acupunctyure works wonders!
Garrett Detone: While collagen is a protein, it is not a very good source of dietary protein because it is primarily composed of just a few types of amino acids.
Michal Semple:
Sabra Roers: nothing in this world can be cured. even western medicine dont do that. if its cured, why do people have headaches now and then?.. alternative medicine is similar to western medicine. it improves someone condtion. if its really cured, then all the bettersome alternative medicine are scientifically proven. but there are always people sceptical about it, particularly peple in the drug companies. if they were supportive of it, their drug companies will surely close down right?i have heard stories and seen it for myself bout the benefits of alternative medicine. and its beyond the placebo effect. its scientific. its up to your descretion to make your call whether its true or not....Show more
Keven ! Woodington: As you probably know, proteins are made of amino acids. The body is able to make some of the amino acids from its constituents. Others have to be supplied through the food. These are called essential amino acids. A good dietary protein source is one where the essential amino acids are present in an adequate proportion. This is not the case with collagen.
Clement Viscarro: If you consider that no scientific research is done to prove effectiveness, there is no way of being sure. Scientific proof that it works would be a great argument for selling it. It is strange that the producers never seem to want to investigate. A lot of alternative medicine is based on the priciple of dilution. Sometimes the dilution is as much as a molecule in a swimmingpool! How can that ever work? Belgian sceptics have collectively tried to commit suicide with lots of alternative medicine. They survived without any side effects, only an urge to pee. So if you are sick. See a real do! ctor first....Show more
Ricardo Rozelle: Coughs are usua! lly of two types, they are wet cough and dry cough. Try a home remedy such as honey and lemon (or) Black Pepper + Garlic with Onion Soup (or) 2 pinches turmeric with Milk (or) Herbal Tea to cure your cough. Some coughs can turn into bronchitis, so don't let it go on too long. The better suggestion was to consult a doctor and be careful of it
Jarrod Darnall: They all work, especially Acupuncture
Rubi Romo: I have to swear by Acupuncture . I had done for three years and actually used it to become pregnant . I swear by it . It is a science that many of the regular Medical doctors are starting to look at. My obgyn told me to go and get acupuncture while pregnate. This form of healing helps your body to help its self work better , It is expensive but if you go to a college ... It will be significantly less and they are expirenced to do it just as good as a regular therapist. I SAY ACUPUNCTURE .. Try it you might LOVE IT ,,,...Show more
Rodrigo Pezley: One h! as to define alternative medicine - which is difficult. And as alternative medicine becomes more proven it becomes allopathic and more main stream.Studies are expensive .. but more research is being done. Duke University and the University of Arizona are two places that come to mind.As mentioned by other posters - the effects are often more subtle and take longer to take effect and some don't work on some people and some just don't work at all. :) Isn't that re-assuring.I like to think of it like the layers of an onion....acupuncture/acupressure are pretty main stream and work for most people.My sis was on all sorts of anti-depressants .. but surprisingly what worked was high doses of calcium. It was worth a try.Chiropractic and its more legitimate Osteopathic medicine can make you feel better, but Chiropractic has more "alternatives" that some explore that I think are silly.It really surprised me -- but with my training -- I can feel when someone is extending KI/Chi s! ay in Reiki or Kiatsu .. and I when I get a treatment (which was years ! ago) I can feel it as a soothing warming energy. Most cannot feel the KI, but they do get benefits. Others say they sat there for 20 minutes.There are studies by reputable places that show that echinaea, elderberry and perhaps blackberry improve the immune system - and I think that they work for me. But the effects are subtle and take a few days to build up.I have a friend who was put on a strict diet by a naturalpath .. and it worked for her .. but we think that the placebo effect is also working. Does it matter .. maybe .. but she got relief here where others had failed.I personally dislike the notion of homeopathy....Show more
Jerald Florence: if u get a burn put toothpaste on it and there will me no scar and mo blister,,,,,
Alise Rutgers: Yes. They all work. Unfortunately, they don't all work the same way for everybody. Some people will respond more to massage than their neighbor will. Echinacea is supposed to be the greatest all-around immune builde! r; doesn't work for me, I need the Chinese counterpart. I've treated blood poisoning, bronchitis, ear infections, strep throat, and many other incidental imbalances all with alternative and complimentary medicine. Yes. It works.As an added note: Who cares if it's just a placebo effect? If it works; it works. 'Nuff said....Show more
Florencio Dingle: hi, the one natural product I take for my condition helps me as I refuse to take pills, meds. I don't mind sharing it with you if you IM me at yahoo messenger raympe6 or email me at rpelley5@yahoo.com. I am a female from Canada...Raymonde
Cletus Makler: Yes, get the book "What they don't want you to know" very insightful regaurding alternative medicine and western medicine.
Walter Scordino: If there was any proof that So-Called Alternative Medicine( S.C.A.M.) worked, it would be embraced and readily used by the medical community. There is no such thing as alternative medicine that works. There is onl! y proven medicine and unproven, "faith" healing. If you want to take "! alternative" medicines, fine, but be aware that none have ever been proven to work. NONE.
Elaina Adolfson: Accupuncture. Accupressure. Both work. I also have meditteranean oil of oregano on hand at all times (from Turkey, not Spain or Mexico). 4 drops under the tongue, a glass of water, 3 times a day when you feel an infection of darn near any kind coming on - this is a natural antibiotic. I have not been to a traditional md for many years, (Except the gyny - gotta go there for yearly exams) nor have I taken antibiotics or medication for as long. Oh - and get the heavy metal outta your mouth if you have fillings, etc. - metal is baaaaad....Show more
Marcellus Exler: My group falls under the heading of alternative medicine. We have healed several terminal, incurable people from juvenile diabetic coma in which the doctors told the family it was out of their hands and the child would die before day break. A Multiple Cirrhosis lady who is now not only walking! but teaching at a local University. A woman with breast cancer in both breasts, they were black and she was told it was " too late". She is now happy and looking for another man. Her old one left her as she was "no longer a woman". She sure is now.We are a free group dedicated to helping those in need. www.internationalhealers.orgVaya con DIOS...Show more
Marya Fehn: Boil coca cola and let it cool for a while
Zora Mazzie: The natural herb,wild cherry works good.
Dorinda Metzer: Mouth wash
Damion Oleksa: sure they do...sometimes they take longer or a lot longer to cure something though. And, not all work as suggested. But these days people are looking for a quick fix, and also for alternative medicines via plants so their inner organs (kidneys) won't be ruined. The problem "could be" that while you're waiting for them to work you might get complications.
Josefine Weekey: Yes, but one needs to define "alternative medicine" and "work". ! Let's take this from a pure and simple nutritional standpoint...If you! 've ever wondered whether the vitamins you're taking are doing any good...Unless a company can produce Gold Standard* research which specifically references their product(s) along with documented proof of bioavailability and efficacy, they only have embellished claims. While some people may say they're not interested in hearing the research, those same people soon question whether they're wasting their money on the supplements they ARE taking. Stay well,Andy * Gold Standard means:1. Randomized study: used in medical studies to directly compare two or more treatment groups. Subjects are chosen at random into differing treatment groups, and the patients are followed over time to observe the effect of the different treatments.2. Placebo controlled: both actual product and placebo alternative are introduced to study group.3. Double blind: neither doctor nor patient know which is the actual product or placebo (which can possibly slant the results).4. Cross over: after results ! are tabulated, the product and placebo are reversed and the study repeated.5. Peer reviewed: anonymous, third party research is performed on the results of the study to evaluate it's level of integrity.6. Results of the study are published in a credible nutriceutical or medical journal. It's essential that the study specifically name and credit the product, not simply mention that 'any particular component' did this-or-that.Conclusively - proven health demands proven research.For our edification, go to www.PreventionProof.com and enjoy the education....Show more
Soraya Coodey: See: Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine - Pizzorno & Murray Prescription For Natural Cures - Balch & Stengler 40% of Americans now use some kind of alternative medicine. That means it either works pretty well or it has one HECK of a placebo effect.
Jon Bergmeier: i have not met one person who was cured with alternate medicine, however, their lifestyle can impr! ove slightly.depending on the disease it might not be a good idea where! herbs are concerned as many diseases (chronic ones) can have bi-directional diseases and organ damage. herbs are basically just another diet....you will always live with the disease your treating....once again, it is not a cure....Show more
Efren Clankscales: $6.75-7.80 depending on the store/if they have deals, etc.
Ginny Trickett: Yes, in fact many modern drugs are derived based upon naturally occurring "alternative" substances. The two keys to health are Assimilation and Elimination. Take care of those items and you will go far to not needing drugs in the first place!
Janeen Perona: is there any simple way to cure a cough with out the use of medicine or that? like the hiccups?
Alberto Kozub: As a matter of fact, yes. I suggest taking a vapor bath. What you do is, Crush a menthol cough drop and dissolve it in hot water, add mint leaves. You can make it like tea or put it in a bath. The vapors will open your sinuses and ease congestions. It'll brea! k up all the mucas in your chest and once you cough it all up you shouldn't need to cough at all anymore. Hope this helps ^^
