Of note as well, none of the recommended products should replace or substitute for a medical treatment. For some health conditions, the medical treatment is absolutely necessary and is the only truly effective therapy to treat the disease and save lives. Natural health products are often complements to this medical treatment or preventive strategies to avoid a situation from evolving into full blown disease. You should always notify your physician if you wish to give up any treatment or prescribed drug. He will be able to tell you what the exact consequences may be, what could actually replace it or what symptoms to watch for. Your pharmacist is also a reliable and extensive source of information on drugs, their interactions and their effects on the body. Do not hesitate to tell him which natural health products you are taking so he can list them in your medical records. |
