 Differences between natural alternatives and conventional medicine

 Do you prefer subsidize the illness or invest in your wellness? Conventional medicine is the medicine that teat symptoms and diseases using drugs practiced by medical doctors and doctors of osteopath and alternative medicine is a system of theory and practice used by many individual cultures. Both styles of treatment emphasize the quality of the relationship between the patient and the practitioner. Often, both conventional and complementary and alternative medicine approaches are used but Alternative and conventional medicine faces many differences in aspect of   professional occupation, medical treatment and Cost.

 First, professional occupation between alternative and conventional medicine are completely different. How a medicine practitioner and doctors performs is not the same. An example of traditional medicine is how doctors are taught to see the body as a collection of organs that are independent of one another and thus, must be treated .On the other hand, Alternative medicine is all about finding balance and harmony; alternative medicine treats the body, mind and spirit as a whole rather than so many separate parts (McKiernan).Although, the relationship between patient and doctor is different. For example, naturopathic medicine  have a strong relationship with their patient , this partnership means that  naturopathic doctors spend a significant amount of time, approximately more than an hour with their patients  in order to listen their problems and come up with a natural solution (McKiernan), country to conventional medicine, which treats symptoms alone usually with drugs or surgery, additionally

researchers from John Hopkins University and the University of Maryland found that conventional interns spend about 12% of their time each day with each patient, which amounts to 8 minuscule minutes per visit (Derek).However, a good relationship  depends of the doctor  occupation whether is a medicine practitioner or a medicine doctor.

Natural alternatives can takes longer to solve the issue but it is more effective than  traditional which only remove symptoms.

Finally, in terms of cost ,both herbal and traditional medicine are  considerate as a big business but  at the same time each spend differently. According to the mother earth news, Americans are spending around $200 billion per year on prescription drugs. In contrast ,every year  Americans spend more than $34 billion on a variety of non-mainstream treatments, (Friedman) and $20 billion on herbs and other dietary supplements (Bloyd, Stephanie q.t ). Although, how they make profit is different. Doctors who work with pharmaceutical earn more profit; resents doctors find themselves in a system that financial rewards which is called "reactive" medicine or interventions that treat symptoms and with the top 11 drug companies they  made  almost 85 billion in profit in  2012 (drake) on the other hand, naturopaths doesn't prescribe high profit and prescription drugs ,a  naturopathic doctor  are more
