Alternative medicine has recently become more popular and more dangerous. Alternative medicine essentially involves allowing people with life-threatening illnesses to travel to other countries and seek treatment. Most countries advertise these drugs because they are trying to find a cure for diseases. Most of the time, these drugs are made by people who know nothing about medicine or anything medical. Illegal, manufacturers may use clever names to make it appear that their product is safe for a group like the elderly. When in reality, they will most likely kill or give people illnesses that will last a lifetime. Then return to the United States with an illness that could infect those around them. If and when these people get sick, they cannot be helped because this type of medication has not been approved by the FDA, aka Food and Drug Administration. If the FDA has not approved the product, there is no cure for the disease or abnormal abscess. The FDA requires that the “drug” be safe for the people who use it. As a result, some drug manufacturers will add substances. Adding unknown substances can be very dangerous and unsanitary to the person using the substance/radiation. The FDA has proven all alternatives wrong. Alternative medicines have become more and more dangerous each time they are used. There is evidence that most "doctors" are not properly trained and may be very unaware of the dangers they can cause to people. These people are most of the time very ill and can make the illness worse. The illness cannot be blamed on the "doctor" because he/she has been in that country and most likely signed a form like you would in the United States.
