Treatment Considerations

There are a number of considerations when undergoing therapy for chronic illnesses, including traditional medical approaches as well as integrative medicine approaches that utilize oxygen therapy, herbal therapy, and heat therapy, among others. The Institute for Molecular Medicine is a nonprofit institution and does not make specific recommendations for individual patients, nor does the Institute endorse commercial products. The types of products and procedures listed in this section are potentially useful; however, they are only examples of the types of approaches and substances that could be beneficial to patients with chronic illnesses. Consult your personal physician for advice on exact dosing and schedules, which can vary among individuals.
