I have practiced natural healing for my own health most of my life. I am not a doctor and do not diagnose or prescribe. I caution you, if under a doctors care for any known medical condition, that you ALWAYS check with your doctor before adding anything new to your health regimen.
You'd be amazed at the bizarre interactions that can occur when natural remedies (or even foods) and prescription drugs combine.
One example: Aloe Vera Juice is one of the most healing substances on earth but if you drink it before a colonoscopy, it can discolor the colon wall and make diagnosis more difficult.
I am almost to the point of just saying choose one approach and stick with it but I realize there are many cases where a natural remedy or adjunctive therapy has proven beneficial so the important thing is to educate yourself fully, and be in constant communication with your doctor.
