  1. TCM( Traditional Chinese Medicine) may be the best truse. I really don't want to eat Wetern medicine, in other words, I don't like eat medicine. If I have another choice, I want to use food therapy. In TCM, It have many different food therapies I can choice, such as I usually drink a health drink is made from Tremella fuciformis and honey. It not only protect your throat, but also good for your spleen and can treat insomnia. I really prefer food therapy, compare with medicine, it has low price, no side effects and pain-free.

  2. As for myself, I use herbs, but most of time I choose Western medicine. Even though, I am not the big fan of it. I used some herbs before, they are more effective than Western and have less side-effect. I prefer herbs, if herbs can cure me.

  3. I am going to talk abut chiropractor because that is only alternative medicine I have tried. Actually, I don't prefer it to modern medicine; however, it is absolutely effective to body condition and mental. As the text book explain, chiropractor emphases on structure of body and spine; therefore, when people get muscle sore or that kinds of things, they better go to there. Because it is not only effective, but also it is efficient. In addition, in chiropractor, people can cure specific point of body they feel painful. As I say, it is effective to mental as well. That is because you feel your body becomes lighter after taking chiropractor; hence, I will feel good especially in sports.

On the other hand they are hurt that will become less. The form of modern medicine will become more and more. That makes people can accept easily.

  6. I had never use a form of alternative or traditional medicine during by life. But, I know some people who had used it and they are always treated. If I'm based on what people tell me about Traditional Medicine.Traditional Medicine is not bad, but it’s not really effective like modern medicine and it sometimes based on the past. I hope i’ll try one kind of traditional medicine. Modern Medicine still my preference, it’s more effective and practitioners make some modifications sometime and they are not based only on their old methods.

  7. I have tried acupuncture and Chinese massage. I think traditional medicine is helpful. I have done acupuncture before, because I always in a bad mood at that time and I don't want to eat. Then, I went to have acupuncture and I felt better. I think traditional medicine and modern medicine both are helpful.

  8. I have drunk herb before, when I got the Chickenpox. If I have to use medicine, herb is a good choice for me. Also, my mother believes that nature is the best. In other hand, herb needs extract, but Western medicine is easy to have. So, the way my family always use is that, we will have Western medicine first, if it is not work then we use herb.

  13. The only CAM that I tried and it also worked for me is chiropractic. This CAM can help me for my muscle pain from work out or when I play any sports. I does;t hurt when they're massaging but it can help me a lot to get out the pain. So I prefer to this CAM
