It is generally believed that most of the drugs we take have harmful effects. As a matter of fact, there are people who believe that the big pharmaceutical companies are the inventors of so many chronic diseases (although this claim has not been proven).
This post is not trying to bash the pharmaceutical companies or medical practioners. No, not at all, after undergoing several years of hardwork and research to provide solutions to most of humans health issues, these people deserve our love and respect than criticism. However, in this part of the world where I come from, natural remedies seem to be more effective than what we get from the hospitals.
Recently I developed peptic ulcer, after medical test proved it was an ulcer, the doctor prescribed drugs for me to which I adhered to. Day after day, week after week, the pains persisted. Though I do get temporary relieve, my desire for permanent healing seemed very far.
In the quest to live a life free from ulcer pains, I started searching for other alternative to what I was getting from the hospital. I watched YouTube videos, and contacted friends who previously had ulcer, interestingly more than 60% of those I contacted, confirmed that after seeking medical solutions, they were healed by natural remedies.
Anyone who ever suffered from peptic ulcer, knows how much he/she desperately wants to be free from it. I wanted to be free, but the drugs looked like they were only suspending the the pain for it to come back later, so I stopped taking those drugs and faced the natural solution.
Some food I'm using for treatment of ulcer
I tried the cabbage and carrot therapy, it worked wonders. For the first time, I felt like I owned my body again. I went further to test the use of both ripe and unripe banana, they were very helpful as well. My friend also suggested the use of bone marrow, I haven't tried that, but she said she became free from ulcer eating it. @eurogee gave me his own suggestion ("atakere" I don't know the English name for it) which I'm using as well.
Something I found commonly associated with all these natural treatment is that they are cheaper and have no side effects. In this part of the world, there are so many sicknesses that deferred medical solutions, but were treated with roots, herbs, and other natural ingredients.
I'm not in anyway trying to discredit the use of drugs for treatment, but I have observed that natural remedy works better for me and so many others around me.
What's your thought on this? Do you think our medical practioners should start integrating the use of natural methods to treat patients in hospitals? Or do you believe pharmaceutical drugs do a better job? I'll be glad to get your feedback on these.

@elyaque made this beautiful badge for me.
Both have their purposes.
Holistic healing is best as it encourages one to heal body, mind, and spirit.
Too often people pop drugs to numb the pains associated with mind/body/spirit.
However, authentic healing occurs when natural remedies are used for what ails on each of these levels.
Pharmaceuticals aren't the biggest problem; but, the over-prescribing of habit-forming meds is.
Peace.
This is an awesome contribution. I personally do believe that both are important, but when I'm faced with choosing between the two, I'll go for natural remedies. Thanks so much for reading and commenting.
Yes, @ogoowinner; I do believe God blesses us to know which to use as need be. ✌
I love natural remedies to treat and prevent diseases. I also developed peptic ulcers a while back and I read about how cabbage juice helps in eliminating h pylori bacteria, the bacteria mostly responsible for causing peptic ulcers. And it's been working fine for me too.
The good thing about natural remedies is that they don't have much side effects. And you get the extra benefits of a healthy body.
Well nature is always best but sometimes, we can't use them in their raw form hence the need for pharmaceutical make.
I get your point. Sometimes, there are quantities that the raw form can't provide enough as well. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Natural remedies always Best nutrient and no side effect anyone can consume
certainly better treatment naturally and better prevent disease
I have always loved using the natural remedies when it comes to fruits ooo.. Herbs and leaves I tend to run away from them... Lovely post sis, Good you're getting better, wondering what atakere actually is..
Ghanaians trust pharmaceutical drugs but forgo local herbs...sometimes l belive the local ones are slow but take away the cause...we sometimes believe the otherwise only cures the symptons only...thanks anyway..upped
:)
going natural is the best way at first it may not seem that effective but it going to help for long term :)
i want sbd too..
You later got the natural honey? That's so cool
They both have their pros and cons...Even Pharms get their recipes (if I should call it that) from herbs. Natural remedies are quite great however measurement of dose can pose a threat.
