Adjuvant Medical Care

Despite  tremendous gains in medical knowledge, most conditions are managed,  rather than cured, by medications. As a result, countless patients seek  supplemental modes of care to better control their symptoms and  conditions to improve their overall wellbeing. This reality spotlights  the need for adjuvant medical procedures. 

Adjuvant  medical care refers to any supportive therapy that enhances the outcome  of medical measures already in place. Adjuvant care does not replace  primary or traditional treatments, but instead serves as add-on care to  the initial medical treatment plan prescribed by a health care provider.  The addition of one or more non-prescription therapies (e.g.,  nutritional support, over-the-counter remedies, home care, dietary  measures, supplements, etc.) to the primary medical management regimen  has become increasingly popular and mainstream thanks to scientific  studies that have documented favorable outcomes for many patients. 

The  verifiable scientific merit of these additional medical options  demonstrates their usefulness in the treatment of many medical  conditions. The purpose of this handbook is to provide support to  doctors and patients who are interested in safe and effective  non-prescription and non-pharmacological medical therapies for specific  conditions to minimize symptoms and optimize recovery and quality of  life. 

• Helps doctors and patients discover  additional therapies that can reduce pain, advance health outcomes,  minimize complications and disability, and extend life.

•  Presents safe, reliable, and practical options that are available to  reduce symptoms, maximize recovery, and positively augment the  management of a variety of conditions. 

• Provides  medical insight into less traditional, yet often effective, supportive  options for enhancing and optimizing patient response to care.

This  book is a valuable resource for both doctors and patients who are  committed to achieving the best possible medical outcomes through a  variety of coordinated approaches.
