Do patients at the Hoffman Center have to drop their medications to participate?
Most definitely not. The ultimate goal for many patients is decreased reliance on medications with their inevitable side effects. But INTELLIGENT MEDICINE calls for the concerted deployment of rational conventional medical strategies side by side with nutrition, herbs, vitamins, and supplements. In addition, it may take time for alternative strategies to kick in; meanwhile conventional drugs are required to hold the line on such chronic conditions as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or colitis, for example.
