Bee stings as therapy? Apitherapy can treat arthritis and more
Fish pedicure - is it safe to let Garra rufa fish exfoliate your feet?
Zootherapy: animals that heal people
In my opinion apitherapy is a good method, but the people think that this way is too dangerous. This technique was a traditional folk remedy that has been used in many other countries for centuries. This mode helps to alleviated multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and lupus.
ResponderEliminarThe fish pedicure is a method that people use in spa. These animals suck and gently nibble away at dry and dead skin. The end result is said to leave your feet feeling refreshed and healthy, Because of that people think that this way is better than others.
The zootherapy is a method that some people use for help autistic. They give a dog for him and then person start to play with the dog and little by little the person starts to speak some words.
In my opinion these methods are very good, because they resolve the problem perfect. The most surprising method I think is the zootherapy.

Apitherapy is very interesting. It seems a bit contradictious that a kind of venom can be a great treatment for serious illnesses like multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and lupus. Nowadays there are more and more people who don’t trust the usual chemistry drugs and want to try some natural ways to heal their illnesses. Nevertheless, in my point of view, particularly apitherapy has a big drawback: bees die after they sting somebody. Every treatment need a few bees depending on the disease so that, at the end of the day, apitherapy kills many bees, which are near to be endangered animals and very important in ecosystems all over the world.
ResponderEliminarFrom my point of view these kinds of alternative medicine may be a good way to keep away some health or psicologic problems. There are a lot of treatments that could be better than these ones.
ResponderEliminarHowever, it could be better for somebody to start any kind of alternative medicine, so as apitherapy as zootherapy or fish pedicure, because his metabolism or health don't accept another treatment. But, it could be the contrary for somebody just because he is allergic to bees or don't like pets. If I were autistic, I would rather to be treated by zootherapy because I love animals, but I couldn't because I'm alergic to fur of pets.
Everything is different for everybody and not always we are going to agree. In addition, alternative medicine also has its disadvantages, such as bees are killed by apitherapy, as Mrs. Anna said, so any kind of treatment is not perfect.
But I must say that alternative medicine is growing a lot, and in the future, it might be essential for humans.
Apitherapy world seem interesting, so the people search others choices of drugs or medicines which are more natural and with this, more healthy for us. Personally, I wouldn’t be able of resort to a bee stings or fish pedicure, because I am a bitter fearful and fussy… But I don’t doubt that this type of techniques has resulted.
ResponderEliminarHowever, I think which the zootherapy is a good idea because you don’t have that take a change a bee stings or other thing. This is better for the person and the animal, therefore you have help, and the pet too.
I'm talking about alternatice medecine, I think it is interesant because doctors use choose alternatives that it don't secundary sides, for example honeybee from sclerosis, arthritis...
ResponderEliminarThey are better than pharmaceutical drugs and should be healthiyer for us and for our body.
I agree with Anna. It is right that people use natural methods for curing diseases instead of pills, but it is also true that the apitherapy kills lots of bees, and although these bugs are unpleasant, they can be driven to extinction.
ResponderEliminarI also agree with the benefits of zoo therapy. Animals may become even more important than some people. They are loving, playful, funny,... There are many people who live alone and get pets to entertain themselves. But we must be aware that a pet needs a lot of care and time and if we cannot give it, the best is not having a pet, since in the majority of cases they are abandoned.
Fish spa pedicure is a very useful innovation, but it is also very delicate. I've never tried it and I have no special interest in it, but it seems a comfortable and safe enough way to do the pedicure. In addition it contributes to relax the body, the nervous system...
In my opinion, Zootherapy is a good way to cure autism sufferers, like Henry, because it served for these people to integrate into society and never feel alone. Also people with brain damage use horses as therapy to improve their mobility.
ResponderEliminarHowever, I disagree with Apitherapy because I think bee stings can not cure serious diseases such as multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and lupus. When we have these diseases we need to go to the doctor and be treated with pharmaceutical drugs.
The use of fish therapy is something original and new that has not much fame in Spain. When I went to Vienna, there were many beauty centers that used this therapy and had fish tanks in the windows. I think it's original, but it doesn`t harm our health.
Although I can’t speak about Apitherapy or Fish pedicure because I don’t know almost anything about it, I can speak about Zootherapy because, unfortunately, my little cousin needed Zootherapy two years ago. My cousin has a rare disease that prevents her from walking, talking… And two years ago her doctor advised her to buy a dog and go to horse therapy. To tell you the truth, when we buy her a dog we could see how she advances a little in her disease and, although this disease hasn’t got a cure, I’m sure she is happier than before because I see when she laugh with her dog.
ResponderEliminarIn my opinion, Zootherapy can be a good way to cure many diseases or can help many people because animals are very important in our life. In fact, as the article says animals are used by many sick people. For instance, animals help persons who suffer autism like Henry to integrate into society or help blind people to have a “normal” life.

From my point of view, alernative medicine could be a good way to cure a lot of diseases in the future.
ResponderEliminarThis type of medicine could be the solution for people who don't accept traditional treatment or for people who aren't used to taking chemical drugs.
I think it is a natural form to cure a lot of diseases.
Fish spa therapy is getting more and more available in western countries whereas in Asia it has become a very usual pedicure method. Its health claims seem to be nearly miraculous: it is good for the skin, the blood flow, to reduce its smell, and even to relax from stressful situations. Yet, the main problem is the hygiene because the water container, the fishes and the water itself can infect humans. In general, this problem can be solved if new hygiene standards are developed but, for the time being, people with a weakened immune system should be careful with this therapy.

In my opinion, I think that the alternatives medicines are a good resource when we are ill. Traditionally, people used to cure themselves with homemade remedies, and it worked, although there are a lot of homemade remedies which are absolutely absurd, for example, it's said that if you have a wart, you just need to rub it along your skin with a garlic head, and after that burying it, if you do this procedure, your wart is suppose to disappear. Nowadays, a lot of people(especially old people), continue doing this kind of things, because it works, it's truth that there are some procedures that are not good, as it can be the use of the oxygenated water in a wound in your skin, it's suppose to cure it, but really is hurting you, and you are not conscious.
ResponderEliminarNatural medicine is becoming more popular, a lot of natural medicines can operate you with mild illnesses, but they don't operate with deep illnesses, and that is an inconvenient.
ResponderEliminarMedicine has evolved a lot; treatments cure you fighting against disease, although these treatments aren't sure at all, because they cause secondary effects as kidney, liver and cells damage, body deterioration, etc.
Natural medicine can also produce other effects, but these effects are more controllable and there isn't so much danger.
I think the worse danger is that you can meet people who use plants without know about them, and they offer you to treat.
To sum up, I reckon alternative medicine isn't as true as traditional medicine, even thought, I don't think it is false. So, I respect people who uses it.

Nowadays , I think that in Spain people don´t use many alternative therapies , but some people use them to treat mild illnesses .
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand , alternative therapies are good because you can use them to treat a mild illness instead of using traditional medicines . In fact , apitherapy is a remedy that has been used in many other countries for centuries which consists of using the power of bee sting to treat serious illnesses.
On the other hand , not all the therapies are good . Sometimes they don´t give you a good result in your health . They can become dangerous too . If you are allergic to any of the things that are used in this type of therapies , you will die .
In my opinion alternative therapies can be good but you need to be sure before carrying them out because they can become dangerous too .
Nowadays, a lot of people use differents methods to remedy health problems that they could have. Some people use alternative therapies but, Have this only good results?
ResponderEliminarOn the one hand, there are therapies that can help us for differents problems or illness, and it can have good results and be effective. For example, fish-good does not hurt ourself, only can have good results, and can end up with a feet problema.
In another hand, there are traditional medicine that is better than alternative medicine, because there are therapies like apitheraphy which can be good, but it can also be bad, and in cases which people are allergic to bees, and they can use this method. There are more cases where traditional medicine can be better than alternative medicine.
In my opinion, I prefer use traditional medicine than alternative medicine because I think that it is less dangerous, it could be more effective and it have less disadvantages
Nowadays there are many alternative medicines that we can use if we want but in most of them it is not demonstrated that it really works, so what is better traditional medicine or alternative therapies?
ResponderEliminaron the one hand, traditional medicine is credible and scientifically proven to be useful. Most people use traditional medicine because they feel safer using it. In addition, we can find many alternative therapies on the internet that are false and can hurt our health, whereas traditional medicine is prescribed by a doctor.
on the other hand, there are some alternative therapies that are very good and we can use them without any problem. In addition, in some cases traditional medicine may contain substances that are bad for us.
In my opinion traditional medicine is better because I feel safer taking it, and I trust what doctors say.
Apitherapy is an alternative form of illness treatment. It contends that bee venom holds therapeutic value in treating serious illness and that it is a viable alternative to dangerous pharmaceutical drugs. Bee venom contains about 40 different healing components, one of which is melittin, a compound identified as an anti-inflammatory and anti-arthritic element. Honeybee venom helps to alleviate serious conditions like multiple sclerosis, arthritis, and lupus.
ResponderEliminarAlternative medicine covers a broad range of treatments and is also referred to as complimentary alternative medicine (CAM). Some of the most well-known alternative treatments include acupuncture, aromatherapy, chiropractic, herbal medicine, homeopathy, massage, meditation, therapeutic touch, and yoga.
Traditional medicine is defined as the medical treatment based on the use of drugs and surgery to treat symptoms of illness. It treats the body part or symptom of the disease and the doctors prescribe medicine to control the symptoms.
I think that our health depends heavily on our lifestyle choises. A healthy lifestyle is the greatest defense against disease, such as: proper nutrition, adequate sleep, exercise, emotional and spiritual balance,etc. Healthy choices each and every day lead to a longer and stronger life!
Alternative medicine is all kinds of medical treatments that doctors and scientists don't support because anyone has investigated it and you can't really know if it works.
ResponderEliminarOne of them is apitherapy, which uses the bee venom to cure mild illness like lupus. This venom has some components that can help people who have these illness to get better. But it can be very dangerous if you are allergic to these venom.
Another treatment is fish-pedicure, which is usually used in the spa. It uses some fish to, for example, remove dead skin from your feet, so you feel fresh and healthy.
The last treatment I'm going to talk about is zootheraphy. It uses animals like dogs and dogs to help people with diseases like autism to get better. These treatment can give results and people who have autism or another illness can start talking or walking.
In my opinion these treatments can be good, but if you are going to take one of them you should know what is it about and, if it's possible, talk to someone who had it.
Alternative medicine is another way of trying to feel better and cure illness with animals, plants and with non-artificial medicines like pills or antibiotics. Some people prove that works and they like it more that using medicines. Other think that they don’t work and prefer using normal medicines that the doctor prescribe them. Having said that, let’s talk about some of the most popular alternative remedies!
ResponderEliminarApitherapy, is a traditional folk remedy which is used in many foreign countries. This consists in taking advantage of the healing power contained in bee’s venom to alleviate serious illnesses like multiple sclerosis or arthritis. Many people who have tried this remedy say that it works. However, not all people think the same. Professional doctors say that this method can be dangerous for allergic persons and can vary from person to person.
Another treatment is fish-pedicure, which is usually used in the spa. It uses some fish to remove dead skin from your feet, so you feel fresh and healthy. This method is one of the cheapest, but I think that’s a bit expensive anyway! Most of the people think that’s great and they usually recommend it because they say that they feel comfortable and clean when they finish.
In addition, I think that some alternative remedies to feel better and to cure some types of illness are quite good, but I also think that not everything can be cured with animals or plants and we sometimes need a pill to feel better and for curing our disease.

Alternative medicine is another way to cure diseases, but this is not supported by evidence obtained through the scientific method, this method cures diseases with plants, animals and with non-artificial medicines.
ResponderEliminarThere are people who do not trust this method but there are others who do, prefer this method over the medicines that the doctor sends them. One of the best known methods is the fish pedicure, which is often used in the spa. Use some fish to, for example, remove the dead skin from your feet, so that you feel fresh and healthy.
Another treatment is apitherapy, this method is based on rubbing the bee venom to cure minor illnesses, this method can be dangerous for certain people who do not know they are allergic, but there are people who say that if it has worked for them, doctors do not recommend this method.
In my opinion, I think it is better to use what our doctor orders because the medications that they send us are very well studied but those methods do not know how they can react.
Alternative medicine are methods that people use to cure their illnesses, without having to use pills. Some people say that these methods really work, but the truth is that only a few work, there are even some accepted by the ministry of health such as herbology
ResponderEliminarIn apitherapy, bee venom is used to cure certain problems such as respiratory problems, chronic injuries and cardiovascular problems. Sometimes not only poison is used but they also use honey and more things from the hive
fish predicure is a treatment that consists of putting 100 Garra rufa in a fish tank so that they suck off the dead skin, in my opinion I think it is a good method.
zootherapy consists of the use of animals to help you cure a illness. When you spending time with an animal and playing with it, your body reacts in a way that makes you feel better but that will not cure your illness, it is only a help
