Affordability, and of course expertise

Philippines is definitely one of the Asian countries where you can get the best alternative medical care treatment for less.

Medical treatment in the Philippines is extremely cheap. Medicinal plants and herbs are often used in the treatment of certain medical conditions here in our country. Alternative herbal medicines and treatments are popular among locals in the Philippines, but the government is yet to promote aggressively this field of health care to global medical tourism. The lower costs of medical treatment plus competent English-speaking and excellent trained medical specialists, nurses and caregivers placed the Philippines on the map of medical tourism.

Should prescription cannabis be a medical option?

Medical tourism is all about going on a vacation and getting treated at the same time. And that’s not all – after your medical vacation you will be able to recuperate in surroundings that are conducive to healing.

Medical cannabis  is the use of cannabis as a physician-recommended form of medicine or herbal therapy. Cannabis is one of the most beneficial and therapeutically active substances known to man.

It does have several well-documented beneficial effects and can be use for medical treatment and health care under a strictly secured, isolated and controlled environment facility conducive to healing and wellness.

And Philippines is a perfect destination to offer a wellness center medical cannabis dispensary prescribing an alternative medicinal herbal treatment to cure pain and diseases.

Medical conditions under cannabis treatment

Medical cannabis can be a safe and effective treatment for the symptoms of cancer, AIDS, multiple sclerosis, pain, glaucoma, epilepsy, and other conditions. Here are some of the health conditions that can be addressed by proper medical cannabis treatment.

1. Medical cannabis doctors put priority for this treatment to patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Medical cannabis has the ability to stimulate a person’s hunger which is useful for cancer patients.

2. People suffering from chronic body pain can use cannabis treatment instead of other commercial pain killers. Correct dosage of medical cannabis is safer than ingesting pain killers.

3. Psychiatric problems such as anxiety attacks are also suppressed by medical cannabis. Many anxiety patients are granted rights to purchase from cannabis dispensary as needed.

We become No.1 at least cost

According to the Philippine Department of Tourism, the number of internationally based medical tourists has increased from 60,000 patients in 2007 to a staggering 600,000 patients in 2009. The Philippine government predicts billions of dollars in medical tourism profits, with as many as 1,000,000 annual foreign patients by the year 2015.

The government should explore wellness center medical cannabis dispensary as a marketable health care option if they are realistic in attaining the level of anticipated success of it’s 2015 billion dollars profit target.

Government initiatives should focus on scientific studies, research and experiments on the the benefits of medical cannabis as an alternative medical treatment in our country exclusively catered to medical tourists from all over the world that will boost Philippines as the No.1 destination of medical tourism in Asia Pacific Region.
