What are the advantages and disadvantages of chemical based medicine ?!


Question: What are the advantages and disadvantages of chemical based medicine .?
Answers:
I'm surprised nobody has answered this yet. By chemical based, I assume you mean drugs (although herbs also have natural chemicals in them) and there are quite a few advantages/disadvantages between drugs and herbs.

The biggest benefit is that drugs work for one specific result. That's why they are often used in emergency situations for a specific and fast impact (slowing bleeding, slow down the heart, speed up the heart, put someone to sleep, etc, etc).
The biggest deficit is actually from the same impact... because they give a specific result, they normally turn off a natural function or force a non-natural function. That's why there's a huge list of side effects listed with drugs... like how some drugs that lower cholesterol may have problems with altering mental functions because they stop your body from making cholesterol (a natural function), but your brain needs that cholesterol to work properly.

There are times when drugs are specifically needed to sustain someone's life... but to maintain someone's life, herbs are generally the best option to keep them healthy in the first place so they don't need the drugs. I hope I helped!Health Question & Answer
