Don’t stop proper treatment to try folk remedies or supplements
别为了试偏方、保健品停掉正规治疗
No cost at all; you even save money you’d otherwise spend on supplements. It takes no extra time. The hard part is resisting repeated pressure from others to give it a try.
The risks of stopping treatment are well known, while the benefits of folk remedies and supplements are uncertain. This means trading a definite harm for an uncertain gain. If you want to try supplements, talk to your doctor first. Some supplements can alter blood levels of anticoagulants and anti-rejection drugs.

4. 别为了试偏方、保健品停掉正规治疗
成本: 不花钱，还省下买保健品的钱。不占时间。难在别人反复劝你试的时候能顶住。
说人话: 停药的坏处是确定的，偏方和保健品的好处是不确定的。这等于拿确定的损失去换不确定的好处。想试补充剂就先告诉主治医生。有些补充剂会影响抗凝药、抗排异药在血里的浓度。
收益: 停药的害处是确定的，偏方的好处是不确定的。常见的无效品类，这本书第 6 节列了一批
证据等级: C
来源: 作者经验，无直接文献；相关证据见第 6 节
备注: 想试补充剂就先告诉主治医生。有些补充剂会和处方药相互作用，比如影响抗凝药、抗排异药在血里的浓度
