1st Speaker Positive Team

Honorable adjudicator, time keeper, my beloved team, my beloved opponent

and member of the House.

Assalmualaikum wr wb
First of all, Id like to say thanks to Allah Swt. For His blessing and merciful,
we can be here without any obstacles.
Also, thanks for time which given to me as first speaker from positive team.
Let me introduce my self and my teammate. Im Restu Dwi as first speaker,
Salma as second speaker, and the last, Yola Leanita as third speaker.

Well, audiences...
Our motion today is THBT Alternative Medicine Will Cause Another Illness and
we agree with that motion.
From Oxford Advanced Learners Dictionary the definitions are:

Alternative is a thing that you can choose to do or have out of two or more
possibilities
Medicine is A drug or other preparation for the treatment or prevention of
disease
Illnes is A disease or period of sickness affecting the body or mind

Honorable adjudicator, time keeper, my beloved team, my beloved opponent

and member of the House.

Now, we only talk about bad effect from alternative medicine that is will
cause another illness. Why is it happen? Even that a medicine is the
prevention of disease? But why it causes a disease to the body or mind?

From the information that we got in Wikipedia that Alternative

medicine or fringe medicine are practices claimed to have
the healing effects of medicine but are disproven, unproven, impossible to
prove, or only harmful; and where scientific consensus is that the practice
does not or can not work. Alternative therapies or diagnoses are not part
of medicine or science-based healthcare systems.

Alternative medical diagnoses and treatments are not included in the

science-based curriculum taught in medical schools, and are not used in
medical practice where treatments are based on scientific knowledge.
Alternative therapies are often based on religion, tradition, superstition,
belief in supernatural energies, pseudoscience, errors in reasoning,
propaganda, or fraud.

Alternative medicine has been criticized for being based on misleading

statements, quackery, pseudoscience, antiscience, fraud, or poor scientific
methodology. Promoting alternative medicine has been called dangerous
and unethical.

Alternative medicine has been criticized for being based on misleading

statements, quackery, pseudoscience, antiscience, fraud, or poor scientific methodology. Promoting
alternative medicine has been called dangerous and unethical. Testing alternative medicine that
have no scientific basis has been called a waste of scarce medical research resources. Critics have
said "there is really no such thing as alternative medicine, just medicine that works and medicine that
doesn't", and the problem is not only that it does not work, but that the "underlying logic is magical,
childish or downright absurd". There have also been calls that the concept of any alternative
medicine that works is paradoxical, as any treatment proven to work is simply "medicine".

So.. after we heard about those information, have we believe to the

alternative medicine? Of course not, and because of that we agree about
alternative medicine will cause another illness.

2nd Speaker Positive Team

Honorable adjudicator, time keeper, my beloved team, my beloved opponent

and member of the House

Im Salma as 2nd speaker from affirmative. At the first i want to refuse the
opposition side.

You said that alternative medicine is more effective than a science medicine right?
Do you think an alternative medicine is good?

No. It is not. From the information that I got from kompasiana about the danger
behind alternative medicine are :

The magic healing sensation one experiences when treatment alternatives

can be explained by the use of medicines made from plants / herbs that
contain vitamins, antioxidants, or substances that can strengthen the body's
defenses, increase stamina, or give effect analgesic / anti-pain. Because the
consumption of these herbal medicines, increased endurance, reduced pain,
and perceived exertion increases. For those who have cancer or
malignancies, the effect of all these things is as cancer symptoms seemed to
disappear, whereas the remaining cancer cells in the body are still there and
continue to grow uncontrollably. Felt it was a healthy alternative treatment,
many cancer patients stop taking medication from a doctor, so that the
cancer cells reappear without barriers so that the patient's condition
deteriorates.

In promoting herbal medicine herbal medicine practitioners always say the

therapy they provide have adverse side effects because it is natural /
natural, it is much different from the drugs are derived from chemicals and
therefore have side effects that are harmful to the body. This statement is
very ridiculous for men of understanding. How not because nature itself
there are many poisonous plants that are harmful to human health. The
second statement because it is a chemical drug, the side effects are also
many completely wrong. Indeed, there are many drugs that are produced
chemically, but mostly processed / extracted from many plants if used in
medicine called herbal. The medical world to identify substrates which are
beneficial and isolate it so that you only consume the substrate, and not
1001 other substances contained in herbal medicine, whose effects are
unknown and potentially dangerous. Additionally society before it can be
used to prescription drugs has undergone several stages of research to make
sure the drug is safe for human consumption. Herbal remedies do not go
through this process so that it can be said the safety of these drugs is
questionable. Additionally society before it can be used to prescription drugs

We've heard the recognition of the people who call in sick kidney dialysis own
routine and then subsequently cured through alternative medicine. There are also
claims to have many years of consuming a variety of drugs for diabetes block,
illness, treatment alternatives several times and then declared cured. Many
alternative medicine or herbal medicine in Indonesia allowed to serve ads that are
misleading and operate despite promises many fantastic things like cure kidney
failure, stroke, diabetes and even deadly diseases like cancer.

3rd Speaker Positive Team

Honorable adjudicator, time keeper, my beloved team, my beloved opponent
and member of the House

Im Yola Leanita as 3rd speaker from affirmative team..

I have some points that Ive found to rebut the opposition team :

1. ..
2. ..
3. Dst

From the first speakers argument, she said that Alternative

medicine or fringe medicine are practices claimed to have
the healing effects of medicine but are disproven, unproven, impossible to
prove, or only harmful. Alternative medicine has been criticized for being
based on misleading
statements, quackery, pseudoscience, antiscience, fraud, or poor scientific
methodology. Promoting alternative medicine has been called dangerous
and unethical. And from second speakers argument she said that In
promoting herbal medicine herbal medicine practitioners always say the
therapy they provide have adverse side effects because it is natural /
natural, it is much different from the drugs are derived from chemicals and
therefore have side effects that are harmful to the body. This statement is
very ridiculous for men of understanding. How not because nature itself
there are many poisonous plants that are harmful to human health.

Is it still not enough for us to believe that alternative medicine is dangerous?

I read an article before in the internet that related to this alternative treatment the
writer from that article had a bad experience, his father is a heavy smoker
diagnosed malignancy at young age. Unfinished disease diagnosis is concerned
suggestible relatives to want treatment herbal / alternative. In his family pretty
much distinguished physician by profession, although one by one came and hoped
that his father would be treated but his views about the disease is too bad, and
chemotherapy for it to be a remedy that feared because many carry side effects. He
was treated at the center Purwakarta herbal treatment area, a hospital which he
managed by someone who mastered the holistic treatment without chemotherapy.
The result? After draining a lot of money, a month later his father died.

The writer is a doctor and he had a lot to deal with patients whose condition
worsened after treatment alternatives. Heart attack patients who choosed
alternative treatment for example, only came for treatment after suffering
severe heart failure that is difficult to overcome. Patient should undergo
bypass surgery instead choose an alternative treatment, not taking the drug,
and died shortly afterwards. Mild fracture patients who only need to be fixed
instead be sorted so that the problem was advancing and it needs major
surgery. Patient with renal failure should dialysis routine even comes with a
state of severe tightness and hyperkalemia because the delay came after
alternative treatment. Patient with diabetes (diabetes) should control his diet
and taking medication all his life and it is said to have been cured of
admission in a coma because his blood sugar soar. Or patient with
malignancy who should undergo further examination and possibly
chemotherapy selecting treatment alternatives and get a coffee enema that
actually lead to the onset of infection, sepsis and death faster.

and member of the House

So.. there are so many accidents causes by alternative medicine. Not only
causes another illness but maybe can be a danger for a persons life or cause
of death.

So, we are the affirmative team strongly believe that we agree with this
motion that Alternative Medicine Will Cause Another Illness. Thankyou.
