Is the supplement or remedy I'm taking going to make me sick?

Dr. Burton: Unless you are allergic to a particular ingredient in the nutritional supplement, you should have absolutely no reaction to any of the substances recommended on this web site. If you suspect that there has been an adverse reaction such as an upset stomach or headache, simply discontinue use of the supplement for 1 to 2 days and restart to see if you have the same problem.

Dr. Burton: I have used these supplements to help thousands of patients with the described ailments for at least thirteen (13) years. I have found them to be extremely effective in helping to resolve, in most cases, and in the remaining cases, they will at least help to minimize the symptoms. So, you can expect, in most instances, that the supplements will work.

Dr. Burton: Alternative medicine, in my opinion, a system of medical therapy that involves using any modality that is found to be helpful, including those modalities that do not come from the realm of standard orthodox medicine. An alternative physician will use both natural and chemical substances as necessary to help relieve the suffering of a patient.

Dr. Burton: Homeopathy is a system of medicine developed by Dr. Samuel Harnomin in Germany. The principle of homeopathy is that "like will cure like". The system of homeopathy uses extremely small doses of substances to cure symptoms that were actually caused by the same substances given in larger doses. For example, if a substance given in large doses cause nausea and vomiting, then in very, very small doses, it will cause a cure of the same symptoms. This is thought to be nonsense by many scientists around the world. But, it has been proven thousands of times over the past 200 years that, in fact, it has been extremely useful in helping many medical conditions resolve. The beautiful thing about homeopathy is that the remedies are non-toxic at the levels given and, therefor, are safe for any age group.

Dr. Burton: Women who are pregnant are usually in need of nutritional supplementation. Since most nutritional supplements and herbs are made from food substances, there should be no more expectation of bad effects from these then you would have from having dinner at your favorite restaurant. But, if you have a strong suspicion that a supplement or any other substance you are taking in having an adverse effect on your pregnancy, you should discontinue it's use immediately.
