Is there a reliable source of information on alternative therapies?
There is very little information about alternative medicine in this area. When you are dealing with alternative medicines, you need to be aware that such medications are not held to standards of safety and efficacy like ‘industrial’ medications are. For many of these medications, if the cost is not great and they do not appear to be associated with unsafe side effects, there may be little harm in trying them, but you take them at your own risk. The manufacturer does not need to support any of the claims made about these chemicals promote your health.
