Exploring alternative therapies can be appealing for individuals living with multiple sclerosis (MS), but safety and practicality must remain paramount. Dr. Aaron Boster, a neurologist and founder of the Boster Center for Multiple Sclerosis in Columbus, Ohio, emphasizes three crucial rules when considering complementary or alternative treatments.
First, therapies should not strain household budgets—what is affordable varies by family. Second, natural or alternative does not always equate to safe; potential risks must be carefully assessed. Lastly, alternative approaches should supplement, not replace, proven medical treatments.
Dr. Boster encourages open discussions about these options while maintaining a focus on evidence-based care. His guidance underscores the importance of balancing innovation with caution in managing MS.
