Vitamin therapy

3 views

The use of vitamins to prevent or cure disease.

Many physicians are now recognizing the beneficial uses of anti-oxidant and other vitamins for a wide variety of conditions, often as a complementary therapy to accompany medication or other treatments.

One variant on this theme, megavitamin therapy, is still rather controversial.

Always consult your doctor before adding vitamin supplements to your health regimen.
