As we all know diseases are a part of human life. We like or not, we can’t get away from diseases. So, what we can do is, reduce the diseases. To do this we get something to our body. This is called a “drug”. We use some particular methods to enter these drugs into our body. These methods are called “treatments”. Since these two directly deal with human life, we should follow standard ways when we get drugs. But when we haven’t any awareness about the things that we take as drugs and when we don’t follow standard ways to get them those are called “irrational drug treatments”. The science of the prevention and cure of diseases is called “medicine”. As everything in this world has been sorted, medicine also has been sorted into two main categories as “western medicine” and “oriental medicine”. Oriental medicine is the oldest and most harmless medicine. This medicine is directly based on natural plants. So, it is very rare to have a bad effect from this medicine. However this may also be harmful when it is used without any obviousness. Majority of this topic deals with western medicine. Because western medicine directly depends on man-made chemicals. As we know, when human makes something he always concerns only his goal. So, there may be lot of side effects with it. Throughout our life time biological reactions are going on in our body. There is a general procedure for these reactions. But when a disease comes, it changes these reactions and their sequence. That’s why we feel sick. In our body there are recovering reactions for diseases. By taking drugs, what we should do is, speed up these reactions. But usually these chemical based drugs directly react with the origins which cause diseases and try to cure. This is a quicker way to cure. But in many cases these chemicals affect on other biological reactions. And also they reduce the strength of the recovering reactions. This is the worst thing. When this happens we can’t face even for a simple disease. That means always we have to get drugs to cure. And that means we have addicted to drugs, we can’t live without drugs. |
