By "reasonable and responsible" we mean those alternative and experimental therapies that have demonstrated levels of efficacy in well-designed clinical trials or meet reasonable scientific standards with safe and sound rationales. One of our goals is working with you to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of using alternative treatments to determine which may be appropriate as an integral part of your program. As the trend to use these therapies continues to increase, more studies reveal alternative and experimental techniques as meaningful avenues in anticancer treatments. Some of the current alternatives that show promise include specific combinations of botanicals, immunotherapies, enzyme therapies and certain components of traditional Chinese medicine.
