Editorial policy
There has been an increasing interest in natural and alternative medicine in recent years; however, this topic is controversial and still subject to debate. And even though more and more doctors are recognizing the benefits of natural therapies and opting to use them in their practice, most medical doctors still do not trust natural medicine and believe it is not always safe and effective.
Despite all this, more people are choosing natural medicine because it provides effective and affordable treatment options for many medical conditions that other disciplines failed to treat. It also offers a more personal and holistic approach to treating the disease rather than just eliminating the symptoms. People may also experience fewer side effects and genuinely feel better when using natural solutions.
Furthermore, many people believe that moving away from nature is the main reason behind most of our health issues. They also have rising suspicions about the medical industry’s role in healthcare.
They question whether it is working toward finding permanent solutions for diseases or if it has a hidden agenda to profit from them. As such, many believe that corporate interests are driving the medical and pharmaceutical industries.
That is why they oppose natural medicine practices and do not want to promote them even if the natural solutions are effective. This is mainly because they do not want to find permanent solutions for diseases so they can continue reaping the financial benefits of permanently treating patients and selling more drugs.
However, even alternative medicine has its drawbacks. The major problem plaguing the field is the lack of a present and supportive regulatory authority.
There are no legal bodies that can help oversee each discipline, help develop proper literature and research, expand knowledge, and enforce rules and regulations to control how information is produced and put into practice. At AposBook, we want to do something about this.
