Thanks for visiting the Ask a Healer Holistic Wellbeing Library and hope that you find something here that will assist you in realizing more vibrant health and vitality. I have practiced natural healing and holistic wellbeing 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. For 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.
More on side effects with nutritional supplements
I am almost to the point of just saying choose one approach and stick with it. et, I realize there are many cases where a natural remedy or adjunctive therapy has proven beneficial so I stop short of saying a person can never blend natural remedies and prescription drugs. The important thing is to educate yourself fully, and be in constant communication with your doctor. It isn't just important, it's vital and could save your life.
