Alternative Medicine

Each individual should do their own research and make their own decisions regarding alternative therapy. Be aware however that some of the available "treatments" may be worthless. Others may be harmful or may interfere with therapy prescribed by your health professional. It is our strong position that any alternative therapy should only be taken with the knowledge and assent of your physician.

Do not believe unsubstantiated claims of test results; always verify such claims through an unbiased source. Remember that testimonials are of limited value. Please be cautious. For every potentially valid treatment, there are a multitude of products which are worthless and even harmful.
