Alternative medicine

NOTE: There is no credible scientific research that supports alternative or nontradtional products or treatments for pemphigus or pemphigoid. Any product that claims to enhance or "balance" the immune system should be avoided as the immune system is already over active. It is only wise to discuss with your health care providers all products, treatments and supplements you are taking as some may conflict with prescribed medications.
