Complementary Medicines - A Perplexing Pharmaceutical Product

There is no place to supply vitamins and free medicines at the pharmacy. Most adjuvants lack clinical trials that ultimately demonstrate their effectiveness. For pharmacists who are regarded as regional pharmacists, they have a serious ethical dilemma because it is not advisable to recommend unproven treatments for drugs they supply from pharmacies. The situation becomes more complicated as there is no clear information on the status of the evidence supporting specific supplements.

I have shown that in many studies the significant benefits of many aspects of complementary medicine are being ignored by FSM and other orthodox researchers. From complementary medicine.

Complementary alternative medicine (CAM) defined by the National Complementary Alternative Medical Center is "a diversity of medical and health systems, clinical practice and products that are not normally considered part of traditional medical care" (41). Comprehensive medicine "combines daily treatment and CAM treatment with evidence of safety and efficacy" (41). Folklore therapy is also common in many cultures (42). In 2007, 38% of American adults reported using CAM in the past year (43).

CAM is a diverse medical and health care system, practices, and products that are not generally considered part of traditional medicine. Complementary medicine is used with conventional medicine, alternative medicine is used instead of traditional medicine. Comprehensive medicine combines evidence of safety and efficacy with routine CAM therapy. There is scientific evidence for a specific CAM therapy, but for most people there are some important issues that have not yet been solved by well-designed scientific research.

Supplemental medicine is different from alternative medicine. Supplemental medicine is used in combination with traditional medicine, but alternative medicine is used as an alternative to traditional medicine. An example of an alternative therapy is to treat cancer with a special diet instead of a surgeon, radiotherapy or chemotherapy recommended by a doctor.
