Whats better? A regular doctor or some herbal doctor?!


Question: Whats better? A regular doctor or some herbal doctor?
My sister has a weird illness that hits her periodically. My parents think that a herbal doctor would be better than a regular doctor. Problem is, we have been using herbal "medicine" for quite some time, and it doesn't seem to work. Suggestions?

A real doctor, who knows real medicines to help real problems.



It is not always who is better, but who is more appropriate. If she has something that can be resolved with herbs that have few side effects, that may be better than more radical options that might have consequences. Many acupuncturists are also certified in herbalism and have extensive formal training in herbalism; this may prove more effective than going to "some herbal doctor".

In my personal experience I have found herbs to work much better than any pharmaceuticals out there. There is some real garbage herbs out there so it's very important to use a good quality herb. You get what you pay for. I have come a long way in the 4 years I've been using herbs to treat my fibromyalgia & chronic fatigue syndrome. Unfortunately today's Dr.'s just write prescriptions and do not get to the root of the problem. Then they write more prescriptions to handle the side effects of the others. Before you know it you are spending your entire paycheck to pay for medication. Why not get to the root of the problem from start & not just put a band aid over your problems. I will never go back to using western medicine now that I have witnessed my own healing using nature's medicine. Look at all the medications that have recalls on them after they have used many people as guinea pigs. It's all about the money in the medical world. Why would they want to make you well? They would lose too much money doing that.

You should consult with a professional Homeopath or Naturopath. Unless someone is prepared to devote the required time to study health issues in depth self treatment at home for complex or chronic health problems isn't likely to produce the results someone needs. That's why there are professionals in holistic health.
Very often people go through every medical test invented and they're told that they're fine. Problem is they still feel sick.



I use both, I see an MD and a chinese doctor. I find the chinese doctors have a much different way of diagnosing what's wrong. My chinese doctor is a AMD, one that uses herbal medicine and accupucture. But you have to remember that herbal medicine can take longer to work.



First choice for me is always regular doctor.

But in cases when regular doctor and conventional medicine doesn't seem to do anything, that is the time to read up on alternative medicine and herbs.



It would depend how severe it is. Sometime it is better to go to a normal doctor, but make sure you know what you're going in for and research, research, research.



it is depends upon a disease type. herbal medicine is best for for chronic disease like skin disease ,sexual problem , immunity enhancement ,gastric problem etc



Homeopathy doesn't work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0W7Jbc_V…



try something you haven't tried-correcting her nerve interference problem. no drug or herb will take pressure off of nerves. see an hio method upper cervical specific chiropractor.



Then it is time to go see a medical doctor who specializes in the area that she needs help in.



Weird illnesses are better solved by weird doctors, right? Go to the herbalist



herbal



Find a Chinese herbalist, they are away better than north american Dr's.
