Nowadays, many people in Malaysia use the traditional medicines as an alternative medical to cure the diseases. Such as, an herb is defined as a plant or plant part used for its aromatic, savory, medicinal or cosmetic properties. Another plant that the Malaysian use is a Misai Kucing, Temulawak, Kacip Fatimah, Tongkat Ali, Mas Cotek and the others. Some people still not believe with traditional medicines because they afraid with the effect after eat or use the traditional medical. Besides that, many Malaysian consumers may not be familiar with local herbs. An addiction, in Malaysia we have many races, cultures that we can share about their practice of their traditional medicine such as the Chinese is use to well known for their acupuncture, Malays use to practice a cupping (bekam). So that, it will influences the use of traditional medicines among the Malaysian.

Malay community in this country has long been convinced the medical and traditional treatment. This can be proven with the many products marketed medicines and traditional Malay received widespread throughout the country. They believe that medical treatment and traditional Malay is the safest method and does not side effects of the human body. Medical treatment and traditional Malay using many materials derived from plants that can get in the residence and surrounding forest or in interior areas. Another factor Malay traditional medical treatment and a place in society because it is cheaper compared with other medical and treatment.

I already read one article talk about traditional medicines in Malay. The principles of Malay traditional medicine are generally based on the Arabic Unani medicine and Galenic philosophy. However, it is also influenced by other practices of Indonesian, Chinese, Indian and orang asli (indigenous people) traditional medicines. The treatment of ailments uses a holistic approach, involving physical, spiritual, mental, emotional and behavioral factors. In Malay traditional medicine, the physical characteristics of a person are believed to be constituted of four elements - suprawi (fire), suddawi (earth), dammawi (wind) and balpawi (water). These elements, humors and descriptions of ailments are similar to those described by the Greek model of elements and humors. Besides chants (jampi), prayers (doa), massage, abstinence (pantang) and other practices, the Malay traditional medicine also utilizes various natural resources from plants such as herbs, animals, microorganisms and minerals for the purpose of treating and preventing illnesses, and for rehabilitation and health promotion. Medications containing single or compound medicinal plants may be dispensed in many forms, such as powders, capsules, pills, makjun, medicated oils, simple distillates, decoctions, infusions, paste and poultices. So that, we can see that the traditional medicines already have at long time ago. The old generation people have use the traditional medicines before the modern medicines come. From that, we can know that the Malaysian has used the traditional medicines since a long time before.

the traditional medicines were influence among Malaysian people. we can see that in certain product that we use everyday. for example toothpaste. as we know, nowadays many products consists of herbs like 'bunga cengkih'. we can get it in toothpaste. most of the natural herbs have been reproduce and have been commercialize. that's why the traditional medicine still use by us. for new generation, they just know the traditional medicines seem like 'bomoh' and massage only. they don't know overall about this medicine. if they know...it is because the herbs have been commercialize. and maybe they not disclosed about it.

Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
