Links to Alternative and Complementary Medicine

This page provides links to websites with information about common complementary or alternative therapies that have worked for some of us. There is limited scientific documentation to support many of their claims, however time-honored, as there is limited knowledge of the pharmacologic mechanisms of many prescription drugs.
Please be advised that medicine is medicine, whether herbal, alternative or pharmaceutical, and that *all* medicines have the potential to interact; so please consult your health care practitioner before starting any new therapy. He or she should be knowledgeable about such interactions. This page is a catalogue for informational purposes only, and is not to be construed as medical advice or as an endorsement of any practice or practitioner.
