Conclusion

Conclusion

  Through this academic semester I learn about the most used techniques to be healed in the world. The every week posted has helped me to be more responsible and improve my English grammar. Fortunately for this project, I extend my knowledge about the natural and alternative medicine, how it works in our body and what they are based. Also, I perform my critical analyze because in this way I can to come my own conclusions about the different themes. I want to study pharmacy, but this isn’t an impediment to create my blog of the contrary medicine. My purpose was to create controversy and I say that achieve my vision. I am grateful for the provided opportunity to realize this project and I secure it was very helpful in my college life. Hopefully, I want to enjoy us in my hard work. Thank you! 

  

Unscientific alternative medicine

Chain between Medicine and Science

   True is that only exist one way to heal? The only and the best option is the traditional and pharmacy medicine? As I anticipated, in the last week I will talk about that the science are much related with staying healthy. I found an article that shows us the impulsive end to clinical trials of highly alternative treatments. Also, the report exposes that the natural medicine hit the science because creates doubts in their procedure.

   According to sciencedaily, David Gorski and Steven Novella expose that the medical establishment is a necessary testing whether “magic works”. I can respect their opinion because they are peoples very wise and inferred by the method of experiment. The males what they want to refused the basic science and the take this as a hopeful opportunity. Gorski and Novella indicate: “The two key examples in the article, homeopathy and reiki, are about as close to impossible from basic science considerations alone as you can imagine”.  They conceptualize the homeopathy as the diluted substance in water without aimlessly and the reiki as the healing when a person speaks.

  These men didn’t believe in anything that didn’t be related with science. This is a theme that is shocking me now. When you are growing up intellectually, you can doubt for whatever you were to feel secure.  Novella explains that the implausible treatments are a lost case, consequently, the benefits about it are very difficult to explain. The present investigation is a test for the dubious practice about this alternative medicine.

Meditation

The Power of the Meditation

   I knew that each week I expose different kinds of alternative medicine. In this 9^th week I want to talk about meditation. The word means “to engage in mental exercise (as concentration on one's breathing or repetition of a mantra) for the purpose of reaching a heightened level of spiritual awareness”. I think that is very important to meditate for the mental and physical health. I research an article that explains how the meditation is a therapy for the integral health.

  In sciencedaily.com, the doctor Rebecca Erwin Wells is working in an awesome investigation. She wants to clear up that a meditation as yoga can change the brain, how is working and the affects about the execution. Wells has looked the effectiveness of a meditation program called mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR). I found this program very interesting and fascinate because there can find out the signs of dementia and migraine headaches. The doctor and her team divided in two studies and the first part, the participants are adults between 55 and 90 with a little bit cognitive impairment.

   The team’s second study found that the people with migraines who practiced MBSR for 8 weeks had less debilitating their condition than those in the control group who received the traditional medical care. I always knew that meditation can do it everything because one soul in peace is better that anything and the other parts of the body can be healed. Wells exposes: “This type of meditation is a safe and relatively simple intervention, and if it can delay cognitive decline and help relieve migraines, it could contribute to improved quality of life for many of these individuals”. I am very hopeful that the scientific do it the investigation for the social health and the people can have a better lifestyle. Also, the people with meditation can control about the migraines and less severe attacks.

Chiropractic

A Movement here and there

   According to acatoday, chiropractic: “is a health care profession that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal system and the nervous system, and the effects of these disorders on general health”.  Means that the person who is working in this area have to be a very meticulous in the application of the treatment. The common patients go to the chiropractic with not limited to back pain, neck pain, pain in the joints of the arms or legs, and headaches. The chiropractic physicians use the hands on oncoming to health problem in the examination, diagnosis and treatment. The difference between the traditional medicine and the chiropractic is that treatment didn’t use any drugs.

   These road of healing is interdisciplinary because involve the exercise, provide nutritional, dietary and a good lifestyle. Therefore, implies a whole chain event to be very well with your health. For me, this requires a lot of effort that worth it to be a better health.  In the website acatoday, mentioned that the chiropractic used a technique named: chiropractic adjustment or spinal manipulation. This sounds very funny as the humans are a kind of technology that have repaired.

   American Chiropractic Association means: “The purpose of manipulation is to restore joint mobility by manually applying a controlled force into joints that have become hypomobile – or restricted in their movement – as a result of a tissue injury”. I think that the force applicant will be switching. Now or then, the manipulation can be hurtful in the patient’s body. The technique restores the mobility of the piece of the body, reduce the pain and allowing the tissues to heal. If I want to use the chiropractic, I have to made laboratory testing and test for to determine that the practice is good for me.  

      

Side Effects P.2

Bad Side of the Natural Medicine Part 2

     The last week I focused my traditional post with two of many perioperative consequences in the practice of natural medicine. Now, I want that you can know more about this situation. Why I have to be communicated about this theme that the people didn’t pay attention? This is simpler as make one addition. It’s very important because a one turbid decision can prejudice your health forever. I will show more examples about side effects in the natural ambit.

     The natural medicine can be affects blood glucose and exists more than 90 supplements (natural data base). In the procedure of a surgery, this medicament can decrease rapidly the blood glucose and isn’t reported. This phenomenon can be named a dead silence because all the laboratory tests acts not prove that is made for the alternative medicine. The supplements are categorized for their pharmacology, according to naturaldatabase. therapeuticresearch. The categories are: hypoglycemic and insulin sensitizing natural medicines.

     Another example of this behavior is the impact of serotonin levels. The people have to be open-eyed of the natural medicine, consequently, influence in the system endocrine actions that is one of the most important systems. In the natural data base web site, expose that the prescription affect the neurotransmitters and can be impacted the vascular activity.  Types of pills that affect the hormone levels are: 5 HTP, SAMe and L-tryptophan. The serotonin syndrome come to many symptoms, as:  agitation, confusion, diarrhea, exaggerated tendon reflexes, hyperthermia, nausea, rapid blood pressure changes, vomiting and tachycardia.

I want to appreciate the too much collaboration of the website.  http://naturaldatabase.therapeuticresearch    

Side Effects P. 1

Bad Side of Natural Medicine

Increasingly, the practice of natural medicine becomes more common in the United States. It’s fine that the people choose this type of healing, but the natural medicine will be having side effects? There is a growing concern about the bad reactions of the natural; medicine. I thought that the medicine alternative didn’t have side effects, but I was incorrect. According to the natural medicine comprehensive database, most of the patient didn’t consider drugs o medications the natural medicine.

I think that natural medicine is safe as most of the patients and isn’t necessary name them like a traditional pill. The same web site tells us: “Therefore, it is important for health providers to ask perioperative patients specifically about their use of natural medicines, herbal products, vitamins, minerals, and other dietary supplements”, with this act the people didn’t have bad health experiences. I found very impact that most of the natural supplements have side effects after a procedure surgical. The natural medicine data base explains the most side effects about this therapy. They are right because with the factor that is natural isn’t excluded the contraindications.

The first complication that increment the natural medicine is platelet aggregation or excessive bleeding. I associate this side effect with the traditional medicine, not for this one. This contraindication has over 100 natural medicines, consequently, the most common issue. Is chocking me that one of the side effects is a type of depression. For this example, the nature, not always have harmony with the natural balance.

Ayurveda

What is Ayurveda?

    Why I’m inquiring with different kinds of natural medicine? I have the reason to educate us about how the people found for ways to cure around the world. I want to demonstrate the many alternatives to seek remedies. I don’t talk, which is the best, but to communicate the most used. This week I show the term Ayurveda (antique traditional system in India). According to webmd: “It is based on the belief that health and wellness depend on a delicate balance between the mind, body, and spirit”.  Similarly, the acupuncture shared the same purpose in their system.

      In my reading comprehension, it’s very curious that the Ayurveda is based on Greek ideas on the step of healing. They follow that everyone is made by the fusion of the five elements: space, earth, water, fire, and air. This idea is also connected with the visual worldview in medieval times. According to this alternative medicine, the elements combined and create three life of forces: vata, dosha, pitta dosha and kapha dosha and one of this is dominant. I perceive that this idea is very archaic and didn’t have a scientific basis.

      In my opinion, the Ayurveda followed more the religion that the human symptoms. In the website of webmd, they expose: “anything that affects your physical, spiritual, or emotional well-being can cause you to be out of balance with the universe”. Based on this terminology, the genetic or birth effects, injuries, climate and seasonal changes, age and even the emotions can disturb the balance. I agree that these items can affect the human health, but not the universe. The people cannot stop the climate and less the birth effects. Finally, they have the word “Prakriti” or they believe to stay the same for the entire life and anything can influence it.

Acupuncture

Bad Side of the Acupuncture

       After several weeks, I have been posting different kinds of alternative medicine. This week isn’t the exception because I want to know more types of cure diseases and the boom they have in the society. I talk now about the Eastern practice of acupuncture. According to Wikipedia, acupuncture: “is the stimulation of specific acupuncture points along the skin of the body using thin needles”. It’s amazing how the insertion of something can help the human health.

     The website huffingtonpost expose that the technique gives us: better sleep, more energy, mental clarity, better digestion and less stress. The mechanism of this system increment a general motion to the body. But, the acupuncture have side effects as the traditional recipe. The same website mentions that one of the setbacks is the worst symptoms. The person feels sometimes better, but by the time, deteriorate.

     The links talk something unusual and I don’t know anything about this: the healing crisis. This concept is based on “your body starts undergoing the changes involved in moving toward health, things get stirred up”.  It just like that the body isn’t accustomed to healing in this way. For acupuncture, this sign is satisfactory because the method known the problem. Second side effects mentioned huffingtonpost is the fatigue. The people feel that “suck the energy” and this is a sign to take calm the body. Finally, more side effects are: emotional release, lightheadedness, muscle twitching, bruising and soreness.

                 

Magnetism

How works the static in the body?

   The website livescience expose: “Magnetic therapy is an alternative medical practice that uses static (i.e. unmoving) magnets to alleviate pain and other health concerns”. In first impression sound a very curious and interesting form to avoid all the pain. The magnets will be presented in bracelets, rings, shoe inserts, magnetic mattresses and clothing. I think that one of this object didn’t at all, for example: the clothing. Because the people always be exposed for the environment and needs something more near.

   How the first pioneers explain the functioning of the static in the body? The body have blood that contains iron and magnets in use attract the metal. If the iron is bounded with hemoglobin and is not the kind of ferromagnetic (the phenomenon exhibited by substances, such as iron, that have relative permeabilities much greater than unity and increasing magnetization with applied magnetizing field). In the operation in the human system, we see that not all the people can use this type of medicine alternative and we had have to know if my blood is ferromagnetic or not. It’s entertain because the human outside buys all this stuff with the acknowledge of the static.

   I know that the human go out desperately to get a solution of his/her pains that can have a better life. According to BBC, the world sale of therapeutic magnets is evaluated to be at least $1 billion per year. That is an account very huge and the suppliers are gaining a lot of money with the diseases of the people. To emphasize my opposition, the magnetic devices give us a pleasure sensation and didn’t cure the pain. An analogue comparison of this operation is putted sand in the hole when you can fill with concrete. The explanation is “buffering the hit”.  

Homeopathy

Homeopathy and the doudt

One of the medicines alternatives with more participants is the homeopathy. In the source of lacienciaysusdemonios, this therapy is formulated for the use of lacking active ingredients, analyzing on belief that the same cure the same. Also, the dose is in diluted form and can be alcohol or water for the solute. This idea has an awkward statement for me because if you want to cure the antigen, you can’t add something equal. In addition, the homeopathy is one of the choice medicine that isn’t trustier.

            Indeed, the website salud180 gives us an advice before the use of this technique. For me, the points of discussion in the references are very whimsical. The trivialness is the response of the doubt on the practice. For instance, the use of homeopathy:  find information about the adequate dose, consult with your primary doctor and didn’t you use a substance that interferes with the treatment. In fact, exists the opposition of the exhibition of the body with this antidote.

According to lacienciaysusdemonios, the homeopathy has a big hole of questions that reproduce the opposition. The website exposes examples of the impotence for the homeopath.  The solutions in homeopathy aren’t having active ingredients (a simple water), the fundaments of equality lack experimental basis, contradicts the biological knowledge and not exist proven comparison of the effectiveness are some reasons of the rebound in the homeopathy. It’s very puzzled that the lack of the validity in the practice isn’t showing in statistics or anything quantitative. In my opinion, I put away the alternative of exploring for this sphere.

Natural medicine

What wraps the natural medicine?

  What involve the natural medicine? According to the website geosalud, this tied up: herbal medicine, dietary supplements, homeopathy, acupuncture, neural therapy, magnetism, acupressure and other alternative medicine that complements the human welfare. That sounds because you can use the prescribe recipe and choose one of these types of medicine. May be one of this concept should be odd and you don’t know about of homeopathy, magnetism, acupressure and other choice. In fact, the people increasingly find more affiliation of this treatment.

 On the same website tell us that a 42.1 % in the United States of the year 1997 practice or buy the alternative medicine. The best election of the types of medicine is the use of herbs. Also, the Americans supply the traditional pills of this illness with herbal medicine. It's a good idea because they don’t leave the pharmacy’s antidote. Most of the drugs can damage the other system of the body or worsen the condition.

  The consumer has many reasons to opt to the practice of alternative medicine. In accordance with the website, the factors are: lower cost, better and faster results in specific conditions, fewer side effects, less traumatic and comprehensive approach to the person. I also choose this medicine, consequently, is cheapest and don’t a lot of side effects that endanger your life. We aren’t accepting pills that can bring down the whole system for a little illness that is curable with time and things that you recollected in the nature. We can faith in drugs, but is more accessible the practice of this treatments.

      Greetings there! My name is Myrnalis D. Otero Trinidad and welcome to my site. I actually study in the University of Puerto Rico in Cayey on the concentration of Natural Science. This is my second year in the University and I desire to be admitted on the Pharmacy School of Medicine Science. For this reason, this cosmos will be relevant of the “science and technique of preparing and dispensing drugs”. I will be mentioned and investigated about the natural  treatments in this area. My approach in the pharmacy will the natural medicine and alternative routes. I know that my grasp is really opposite of my wishes, but I want to view another ways to cure and create controversy in the embranchment. Furthermore, I want to expand my critical analyze and enrich my knowledge about the other road of healing. Hopefully, I will that my audience enjoy my investigation and work each week. In addition, all they read will be more minds intelligent. Good luck!
