Naturopathic medicine
Has anyone here received alternative, natural/herbal medicine. Does it work, what sort of tests do they perform. Just curious.

Always check with your specialist medical team before trying anything alternative.
I did do some acupuncture at the Kinghorn Wellness Centre in Sydney which was actually recommended by my radiation oncologist to help with pain - they also had exercise physiologists, physiotherapists massage therapists and nutritionists as part of a wholistic treatment programme.
I never actually took any supplements but I know that others have benefitted from such things - but it’s important to check with your medical team that such things done interfere with the mainstream therapy.
And there is nothing wrong with doing more exercise ( within the boundaries of what you are capable of and under supervision if necessary) and eating more healthily .
