There are many tools available to detect alcohol abuse such as alcohol breathalyzers, urine test kits, hair test kits, etc. In this article, we will discuss about saliva alcohol test kits, commonly used at offices/homes.

Yes I have tried some alternative Madison, I had a bad flue and didn’t know what to do, so my mother in low told me to use some aloe drops for my eyes and some other stuff the tasted like it was pure fire, but in the morning all my symptoms wore no where to be found, So I called her and told her thank you. She reeds lots of articles, so she knows lots of things that will help with all kind of problems that we run in to an a daily bases in are life’s. One I remember is 10% vodka 2 table spoons of hone and some other plants into a dark cantener for a month the keep in a fridge. Than one table spoon daily and it will fix your amune system some how.

I have always been trying to avoid meeting with any medicine and I am kind of lucky so far. Alternative medicine or modern? Why is this question so important nowadays? The answer is simple. We are scared of modern medicine. Thousand of people are killed by doctor's faults every year. I believe we should trust an alternative medicine.

Yes,of course I always used alternative medicine throughout my life.Most of the times this medicine helped me.I remember when I was still young my mother gave me special medicine that she made herself from flowers she found in the fields.This would cure my sickness.When I came to the U.S.A my friend told me about one company that they have excellent vitamins.She said that vitamins can support my health to be strong and live longer.I began to buy these vitamin pills and they showed a great result.For example,when my son was sick I also,gave him medicine from this company and I was amazed.My son was sick for only two days and then he went to school.I am a true believer in alternative medicine health care and that one must have to feel the pain in order to heal the pain and deal with the problems.Having been extremely depressed at one time in my life I speak from experience and that is why I chose alternative medicine health care.

Because helph problems are the most important among many other people face in every day life, people are always in need of the effective and simple cheap medicine for treatment their ailments. Although modern medicine has impressive achivements in this field, we should pay attention to the alternative medicine experience, that has a long history of using simple natural remedies. Because methods of modern official medicine are not always are safe and have a lot of adverse reaction like alergy for example, estimating alternative medicine and using is very actual. On the other hand, we don't have a elaborite system of science about natural remedies. I am personaly confident that alternative medicine may be very helphfull. I used them for treating sinus infection with a pozitive result. What is the most important with this problem is some kind of cooperation among official and alternative branches of medicine, but this is dial of the future.

Today the most popular and effective in the field of medicine is the alternative medicine. In particular: various plants, grasses, fruits, roots, beekeeping products, etc. Ways of this kind of medicine were used by my parents for the most various purposes. For example, when I had flu they gave me to drink tincture prepared of plants and grasses, instead of a hot-water bottle they gave me a hot sack with natural seeds of flax, and for cough I drank a raspberry tea with honey. Therefore I know about efficiency of this way of treatment since the childhood. At present there are a set of the private companies which are engaged in production distribution alternative medicine and which earn on it good money. Because if the person is ill, he/she is ready to believe in “something” and give money for “something”, only it would help. With any kind of medicine it is necessary to be cautious in their use. In all methods of alternative medicine, also as in modern official medicine, there are receptions, rules, nuances on which accuracy of performance the result of treatment depends. Personally I do not prefer both traditional and alternative medicine, but if I am ill or someone in a family, first of all I go to the doctor. I certainly understand that alternative medicine is constructed on natural substances and it almost is not injurious to health, but it would be advisable to know that the qualified doctor will tell about of an existing problem. I wish all to be healthy!

I have a mix feeling between medicine and alternative medicine. In my mind, an alternative medicine is something that I can use or take to prevent myself to become sickness or very ill. Today, I will share my personal believe with you. My mom is my personal doctor. She always makes alternative medicine for me when I tell her that I am not feeling well. For example, if I catch a cold, she will bold a pot of water with onions and slices of ginger and give it to me. I will drink that water for two or three days. Then my cold will go away. Also, if I get burn from hot water, she will cut a small piece of aloe from her back yard. Then she will take off an outer covering. After that she will put the aloe on my skin. All of those points, it makes me trust in alternative medicine. However, I have never seen any alternative medicines that can kill heart dieses, brain dieses or cancer. I think there is only choice for people who get sick from those dieses is a surgery. They need to see a real doctor and get treat as soon as they can. I remember about my grandmother. First, she had a small bum inside of her mouth. It was in the jowl area. When she knows that, she made herself a jar of medicinal wine. The medicine made from a budge of herb leaves with wine. She rubbed the medicine on that area to stop pain. She said it helped. She didn’t realize it only stopped pain but it didn’t kill any diseases in her mouth. Three months later, she had more pain and become very sick. She couldn’t eat drink or drink. Even though she refused to go to see a doctor. Eventually, my mom had to pick up a doctor and brought him to our house. The doctor took a small piece of her skin jowl. Four weeks later, we got a result back and it said my grandmother had a mouth cancer last stage. It was too late for her to get any treatment. Several months later she pass away.

Alternative medicine can bring good results for people’s health. There are many examples of alternative medicine. For example, massage can eliminate pain, many herbs can reduce temperature, hot milk with honey can treat cough. People should try to use more alternative medicine than drugs. Drugs destroy people’s body. Then more people use drugs than less red cells they have. If the body has more white cells it is very dangerous for people heath. These are the first steps to cancer. As a matter effect, people should try to avoid using drugs. I believe more alternative medicine, and try to use it. It helps me a lot. However, if alternative medicine does not help us we can use drugs. I use drugs like last chance, when alternative medicine does not help me. If our body is very weak we need time, and sometimes a long time for treatment. Drugs help us to get healthy faster and kill infections. After taking drugs you need to clean your body by drinking different kinds of herbs tea, and eating salads from carrots, celery, and drink pomegranate juice.

I have not tried a lot of medicine because i do not get sick a lot. In my country there is not a lot of pills. We use herbs and we eat good food. Medicine can be bad for your body. If alternative medicine does not work then we have to use drugs. When my grandpa had cancer he had to take a lot of medicine to cure it. He eat a lot of good juice but soon he did not make it and he past away. But i think alternative medicine can be both good and bad.

I have had asthma since I was young. I used to use a lot of different medicines and inhalers to treat it. However, none of these were successful. The inhalers that I would use would give me bad side effects and give me different illnesses. One time I visited a cardiovascular specialist to see if he could provide me some medicine that worked. He gave me a flower that was supposed to be mixed in a tea. I was supposed to drink it once a day to cure my system. I drank it for 3 years and it proved more successful than all the other modern drugs that I had taken. After taking alternative medicine for 3 years, and seeing the results, I think that alternative medicine is trustworthy. I think that it can take the place of regular drugs because they are natural rather than chemicals that may sometimes give side effects.

I trust alternative medicine and think that it can take the place from modern drugs with many reasons. First, it help me avoid many diseases fever, flu, cough… even if I got fever, I didn’t take modern drugs. I try to avoid it. If I use pills medicine, it made me felt to sleep. I used alternative medicine because it made me felt good and didn’t make me to sleep. In fact, I always eat a lot of vegetable, fruit. I try to reduce meats in my meal. I think that also alternative medicine method. I feel my heath is good and fresh. That’s why I believe alternative medicine, it’s my best medicine.

Yes, I have tried alternative medicine if I have cold; I drink hot milk with garlic and for stomach ach ginger. I don’t prefer to go to doctor or take any medicine unless I feel very sick. In my country many plants and seeds like: black seed, black mustard, flax seed, rue and other kinds of plant leaves, people believe and use as alternative medicine. For example, some kind of cancer, swelling, asthma and common cold etc.. In some case it is very effective for some kind of disease and I trust it is useful for normal type of diseases. However , it is refused by ministry health and world health organization. They say, many of these plants have not been investigated scientifically ,although they have been used by the population for long time.

I have tried alternative medicine. I believe that it is less dangerous than conventional medicine. Examples of alternative medicine include naturopathy, chiropractic, herbalism, traditional Chinese medicine, Unani, Ayurveda, meditation, yoga, biofeedback, hypnosis, homeopathy, acupuncture, and nutritional-based therapies, in addition to a range of other practices. I have only tried herbalism and chiropractic. Alternative techniques tend to lack evidence, or may even have repeatedly failed to work in tests; however in my case the results were good. I trust alternative medicine and think that it can take the place of modern drugs if most of the people will trust it more than conventional medicine. Once when I was sick, i had a flu, I tried raspberry leaf tea, it can be made by adding 1 tsp of the leaf to one cup of boiling water. It tends to reduce fever as well as relives pain. I got better and did not even have to take any pills.

Alternative medicine includes all forms o therapy like acupuncture or any others include in this category. I suggest for anybody how wants to use alternative medicine to see a doctor first

In my opinion, Nature has given us many reserves as alternative medicine. Natural plants are alot better then artificial drugs. In my personal experience I have used camomile, it is used as anti inflamatory, used to fight fever, upset stomach and calms the nerve.When ever I get ill I use sweet brier because it is rich with vtamin C.Aloe Vera is a unique product it helps support the Immune system,helps the stomach, along with mouth and gums. Yes I do trust Alternative medicine over drugs, exspecialy that I know that The drug company is mostly about the money and if you follow the money you will find out that there is not alot of help through drugs.

During my childhood I often had many problems with my health and my mother usually gave me an alternative medicine. Every winter I would get sick due to cold weather or my sick friends. My mom gave me hot tea with honey and lemon, it always helped me. Also my mother would prepare hot milk with butter and honey, it helped me too. Now as a grownup I still remember those times when my mother gave me alternative medicine because I think that todays modern drugs are not always better. Maybe in the future, I’m going to use modern drugs. Modern drugs are not always the best medicine to use and that’s why I still to alternative medicine.

Alternative medicine is the practice of medicine without the use of drugs. Doctors simetimes call it complementary medicine. It is sometimes used to support medical treatment in which drugs are used. Sometimes doctors say it is unscientific, while others try to combine it with conventional medicine. In my opinion, the alternative medicine is good. First of all because it doesn't have a side effects. The second reason is that it really works, because I tried it many times in my life. I always take the alternative medicine when my family or I have a cough or fever. Another example is my sister. When she was five years old, she had a problems with kidney. We lived in Moldova at that time. My parents knew one man who prepared a herbal liqueur ( one liqueur may contains around 30-35 different kind of herbs)from many illnes. So they went to him and ordered the alternative medicine for my sister. She've taken it three times a day during for four or six years. After that she has never had a kidney problem and she doesn't have it now too. That's why I think in some case we can try an alternative medicine. A lot of medicine like paracetamol, ibuprofen, etc. are mainly pchsycological, so I think that if the alternative medicine(i.e. herbal or natural) are well enough advertised then they will work.

I’ve never tired any alternative medicine so far, but I know many people who have been using alternative medicine including my wife. My wife had postpartum depression after having my daughter. She felt restless, worthless and anxious. My wife and I hoped that those symptoms wouldn’t last however my wife felt depression for three months after my daughter’s birth. So we consulted her doctor. Doctor recommended taking a medicine at least 6 months but one of my colleagues who had suffered postpartum depression recommended taking an alternative medicine made by herb. And my wife decided taking a alternative medicine made by herb because she didn’t want to take any kind of stabilizers. Believe it or not! The medicine had an immediate effect on my wife.

I believe that every common cold can be cured by people’s body resistance. One of the advantages is that it doesn’t have any side-effect. Another advantage is that it is effective. There are two ways to improve body resistance. First, it is to eat balance. Many health advisors have been offering the healthy triangle to whoever doesn’t know about eating balance. Next, it is to exercise frequently to maintain healthy body. As a result, exercise can strengthen muscle, increase blood flow, and trigger white blood cells to form antibiotic. Therefore, I trust in natural resistance in taking place of modern drugs.

From ancient times people tried to heal deseases. Usually they used some herbals to make mixtures. Gradually this knowledge has been developed till contemporary medicine. Even now people use knowledge about plants very widely to cure some illnesses. I remeber when I was on active duty in Ukrainian army, I made a certain mixture to heal my wounds, because we didn't have enough drugs for them. So I reminded myself some good advices of old people and created my own medicine. This helped me to prevent rotting of wounds and infection of blood. So now I know that it works! Traditional medicine is very effective. But you have to know what to do in particular cases.

I have never tried alternative medicine. Always when I got sick I go with the doctor and he gave me a prescription with regular medicine and it’s works good for me, I am healthy and I don’t need to take more options, I know some people takes alternative medicine, they said works good, Maybe can work like complementary options from actual medicine, because some people have limits to take a regular medicine or allergies and alternative medicine could be works.

In my opinion Alternative practitioners generally offered patients more time and were more prepared to listen than regular doctor.Patients who entered the alternative system had the feelings that therapists were more compassionate and more concerned and provided care for the whole person rather just addressing an illness.Patients liked toughing as way of healing, as in massage, acupressure, and osteopathy, rather than letting modern technology come between themselves and their doctors.

Today more than ever alternative medicine is becoming more accepted and widely used as regular medicine. Also, alternative medicine was indispensable in ancient times too. I have not tried any alternative medicine, but I have an example of my grandmother. She used only herbal tea from a forest, these recipes was coming from her mother. As a result, she lived to 93 years without any health problems. In my opinion, alternative medicine has a big influence on people health. So, regular medicine sometimes has many bad effects which affect human organs. To summarize, alternative medicine has many positive effects on people life, and health.

I don't trust any kind of medicine alternative or modern. I did have some experience with alternative medicine by the way. Once my leg hurled so badly that it was everything I was doing not to scream. My grandmother made some kind of potion soaked a cloth in it and applied it to my leg. As I remember it stopped hurting almost immediately. That's the only experience I had with alternative medicine.

I never tried any alternative medicine because i don't need it. I usually not get sick very often and it doen't get so bad. In my country some time i use herbs and traditional way to treat a cold or get sick. My friend, he uses medicine for his cold however after using it for long time, the medicine doen't help him any more. He tried different medicine for his cold and it also not help him either. I think i can trust alternative medicine some time. not all of the alternative medicine are bad, it is good for you if you know how and when to use it and not use it alot.
