Non-traditional treatments

You may decide to choose non-traditional treatments as part of your treatment plan. Talk with your doctor, read about your options (see below), speak to others, discuss your alternatives with your family and trust your heart. This is your disease and your life. Make sure you have all the available information first so you can make informed choices.

Researchers are always working to discover new ways to treat serious illness. Likewise scientists in a range of disciplines are at work seeking new ways to help people relieve stress and improve their quality of life. Many of the discoveries made for general stress relief can be helpful in coping with your illness.

You might find it helpful to use one or more of these treatments in conjunction with the traditional medical care you are receiving.
