Please Note:
Information regarding disease modifying drugs -
Nutrition and excercise can be viewed as the backbone to good health, however when compromised by any disease they cannot be viewed as a cure.
The lists are by no means complete and are only intended to provide a limited amount of insight. The opinions expressed on these pages are not meant to be unequivocal nor should they replace professional medical advice.
====================
It is important that treatments are tested for both effectiveness AND safety; the difficulty lies in how long to wait for studies whilst patients continue to suffer, deteriorate and even die!
====================
Remember that none of these medications will always work in all cases, it is important that clinicians have at their disposal a range of different therapies for each condition.
====================
Proventus continues to push for treatments to be made available as early as is safe and reasonable whilst not ignoring the urgency of need in individual cases.

“Healing is a matter of time, but sometimes also a matter of opportunity.”
Hippocrates 460-
Alternative therapy information is intended only as an overview.
The support and maintenance of the body and mind when compromised by disease requires a Multidisciplinary Management approach rather than a singular approach.
Many clinicians are not well versed in nutritional or exercise application or the health benefit that may be obtained by their use. Converseley many alternative practioners have no indepth knowledge of diseases.
Be Aware:
Alternative therapies are not a substitute for medication, or a cure for serious disease, and it would be very unwise to ignore advice from your clinician in favour of an alternative therapy practitioner.
Alternative therapies can be of benefit when addressing health matters.
Be aware.
Some therapies may exacerbate problems surrounding your disease.
Be aware.
Always check the qualifications and track record of your therapist.
Make sure that the therapist has a particular interest and knowledge of your disease.
Be Aware
Self prescribing can be dangerous when confronting disease problems.
Supplementation is very specific, there is not a general rule that you can all follow.
An analysis of you as an individual is very important.
