Disclosure: The Townsend Letter publishes information about alternative
medicine written by researchers, health practitioners, and patients. As a
forum for the entire alternative medicine community, we present information discussing a wide variety of alternative and integrative medicine practices. In addition to publishing original research and literature abstracts and reviews, we encourage case studies and anecdotal reports. Detailed anecdotal reports are not viewed as proof but as possibilities that need further investigation. All authors are requested to submit their reports to other professionals for review.

The editors of the Townsend Letter recommend that all patients (and
physicians) review further reports provided in the article’s references and
investigate the practitioner’s techniques before undertaking an alternative
diagnosis, examination, or treatment. Please discuss such treatments and
examinations with a reputable health practitioner in your community. If you do use an alternative treatment discussed in the Townsend Letter, we would appreciate your report of the outcome, any side effects, and costs.
