Can natural medicines be combined with conventional therapies like radiation or chemotherapy?
Some natural medicines absolutely can be combined and some, absolutely cannot. There are numerous animal and human studies which have demonstrated improved responses and fewer side effects to chemotherapy and radiation when various natural medicines are utilized. Dr. Belanger is very familiar with the research on this topic and is very knowledgable about nutritional supplement and drug interactions. It is not uncommon to see patients have much better responses and fewer side effects to conventional therapies than predicted after they add specific herbal and nutritional supplements to their regimen.
