Hello, Thanks for the query. Patients on modern medication can take other drugs belonging to different practices. There is hardly any problem. As regards the alternative therapy mentioned by you, there is absolutely no problem at all as most of those drugs are just like placebos. If the patient has diabetes it is important to achives strict glucose control with fasting glucose < 100 mg, PP 160 to 170 mg & HbA1c% <7 Similarly BP also should be well controlled. Thanks.
