Alternative medicine can cause problems for patients, such as liver damage, and decrease the effectiveness of other drugs such as anticancer drugs, chemotherapy and radiation. Furthermore, healthcare professionals dealing with alternative medicine can have a negative impact on the patient due to a lack of knowledge. Furthermore, they do not know patients' privacy and communication methods. Every person is responsible for their own life and should take care of themselves because health is a gift from God, so alternative medicine must be stopped to protect health.
