Debate: Alternative Medicine Risks

The 1st speaker from the affirmative team argued that alternative medicine poses a threat to public health. They defined alternative medicine as medical therapies not considered orthodox by the medical profession, such as herbalism and crystal healing. The speaker believes alternative practitioners cannot provide proper diagnoses and treatments are not based on scientific evidence. Alternative therapies are often based on pseudoscience rather than proven experience. There is a risk that serious health conditions could go unrecognized if people solely rely on alternative treatments. Therefore, the government agrees that alternative medicine threatens public health.

Script Debate: 1st Speaker from Affirmative Team

Motion: This House Believes Alternative Medicine Poses a Threat to


Public Health

Assalmu’alaikum wr. wb. Good morning respected judges, my honourable


opponent and members of the audience. Thanks for time which given to me as first
speaker from affirmative team.
Let me define today’s motion. According to the Oxford Advanced Learner’s
Dictionary, alternative medicine means any of a range of medical therapies that are not
regarded as orthodox by the medical profession, such as herbalism, naturopathy, and
crystal healing; threat means a person or thing likely to cause damage or danger; and
public health means the health of the population as a whole, especially as monitored,
regulated, and promoted by the state. So alternative medicine consists of practices
claimed that have the healing effects of medicine but which are disproven, unproven,
impossible to prove, or are excessively harmful in relation to their effect.
Ladies and gentlemen, we strongly believe with the motion ‘This House Believes
Alternative Medicine Poses a Threat to Public Health’. Because we believe that
alternative practitioners are not able to provide a diagnosis. Alternative diagnoses and
treatments are not taught as part of science-based healthcare systems and curriculum in
medical schools, and are not used in any practice where treatment is based on scientific
knowledge or proven experience. Alternative therapies are often based on religion,
tradition, superstition, belief in supernatural energies, pseudoscience, errors in reasoning,
propaganda, fraud, or lies. Regulation and licensing of alternative medicine and health
care providers varies between and within countries. So, there is a risk that people could
have a serious condition that wouldn’t be recognized until it’s too late if people just rely
on alternative treatments.
Therefore, as a conclusion, we the government strongly agree that ‘This House
Believes Alternative Medicine Poses a Threat to Public Health’. Thank you.

Biarkan aku mendefinisikan gerak hari ini. Menurut Kamus Oxford Advanced Learner,
pengobatan alternatif berarti salah satu dari berbagai terapi medis yang tidak dianggap
ortodoks oleh profesi medis, seperti jamu, naturopati, dan penyembuhan kristal; Ancaman
berarti seseorang atau sesuatu yang cenderung menyebabkan kerusakan atau bahaya; dan
kesehatan masyarakat berarti kesehatan penduduk secara keseluruhan, terutama seperti yang
dipantau, diatur, dan dipromosikan oleh negara. Jadi pengobatan alternatif terdiri dari praktik
yang mengklaim memiliki efek penyembuhan obat tapi tidak terbukti, tidak terbukti, tidak
mungkin dibuktikan, atau sangat berbahaya dalam kaitannya dengan pengaruhnya.
Hadirin sekalian, kami sangat percaya dengan mosi 'Rumah Ini Percaya Pengobatan Alternatif
Memunculkan Ancaman bagi Kesehatan Masyarakat'. Karena kami percaya bahwa praktisi
alternatif tidak dapat memberikan diagnosis. Diagnosis dan perawatan alternatif tidak
diajarkan sebagai bagian dari sistem perawatan kesehatan berbasis sains dan kurikulum di
sekolah kedokteran, dan tidak digunakan dalam praktik dimana pengobatan didasarkan pada
pengetahuan ilmiah atau pengalaman yang telah terbukti. Terapi alternatif sering didasarkan
pada agama, tradisi, takhayul, kepercayaan akan energi supranatural, pseudosains, kesalahan
dalam penalaran, propaganda, penipuan, atau kebohongan. Peraturan dan perizinan
pengobatan alternatif dan penyedia layanan kesehatan bervariasi antara dan di dalam negara.
Jadi, ada risiko bahwa orang bisa memiliki kondisi serius yang tidak akan dikenali sampai
terlambat jika orang hanya mengandalkan pengobatan alternatif.
Oleh karena itu, sebagai kesimpulan, kami sangat setuju dengan pemerintah bahwa 'Rumah Ini
Percaya Pengobatan Alternatif Memunculkan Ancaman bagi Kesehatan Masyarakat'. Terima
kasih.
