Because there is a wide range in the quality of natural supplements (due, in part, to lack of FDA regulation), I recommend only the finest pharmaceutical-grade products. Also, unlike many other complementary practitioners, I choose not to profit from the sale of any supplements, herbs or other products which I recommend to my clients, and when possible enable them to buy products at wholesale prices.
