Although alternative therapies can help in many cases, some may be not effective, expensive and even dangerous. The best way is to educate you evaluate your options. Ask yourself the following:
* What is the treatment?
* What is included in treatment?
* How does it work?
* Why does it work?
* Are there any risks?
* What are the side effects?
* Is it effective? (Calls proof or evidence.)
* How much?

If you decide to try an unapproved treatment, make sure your health and your wallet are protected.
Do not take what they say as fact. Contact a reliable organization and talk to them about the therapy. Talk to your family and friends. Although it may not always support you, you can help make an educated decision and objective.
