How Orthodox Medicines Differ from Alte ative Medicines
There are several differences between orthodox medicines and alte
ative medicines. The first and most important difference between those is, the orthodox medicine is based upon the scientific study of the diseases, where as the formulations of the unconventional medicines are more over based upon non-scientific approaches like mystical, spiritual, or other intuitive insights.
Orthodox medicines are formulated to repair or fix rather than support; whereas alte
ative medications generally support your system rather than repairing or fixing it. To formulate an orthodox therapy, generally a lot of funds are needed along with and several rounds of clinical trials, which is generally not required for natural medication.
Orthodox therapies are generally formulated inside laboratories and made up of various chemicals or synthetic products whereas natural medications generally use drugs prepared from herbs and other natural materials.
To cure a particular disease, you can’t have many choices if you go by orthodox medication. You have to take pills or injections that may possibly have various side effects; but if you go by the route of herbal therapies, you will find several choices before you like color therapy, gem therapy, acupuncture, iridology, stress release, nutritional therapy and many others.
A chemical molecule can produce many other reactions other than for which it has been made. This means if you intake synthetic pills to get rid of diseases, then there may be side effects. Other diseases can crop up in your body, if you take allopathic drugs to get back to your normal health. In case of an alte
ative therapy, there is no fear of side effects at all, as there is no chemical molecule involved.

Research of Cell Membrane Nano Drug Delivery System and Its Application in Bionic Nanomedicine
Most of the old drugs are currently limited in their effectiveness because of poor pharmacokinetics, simple clearance by the body and cytotoxicity. Nanoparticle technology in particular, Nano drug delivery system is getting a lot of attention and application in medicine in the recent years. Since it is small (1100nm), targets well, and stays in the circulation long enough, NPs are a good candidate as a drug carrier, enabling an enhanced in vivo targeting capability and less n

Research on Regulating cAMP Pathway to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
The world's chronic disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), is among the most incredibly morbid and mortal. A relatively common, preventable and curable condition, COPD most often reflects itself in chronic breathing problems and airway obstruction. Its cause is elusive and not well understood. The most important pathological processes involve oxidative stress, protease dysfunction, mitochondrial dysfunction and airway inflammation. Drug and oxygen treatment ar
