“…For example, doctors can bridge the gap by familiarizing themselves with dietary supplements and other nontraditional products and recognize that their use is perhaps more about hope and personal control, than dissatisfaction with their current care (Astin 1998). Continuing education for health professionals on herbs and dietary supplements also exists (Kemper et al 2002), and there are suggested guidelines for nutrition counseling on complementary and alternative medicine (Shaprio et al 2001).

“…Of those that did, the studies (a) were performed on mice (Hau, Chen, Cheng, & You, 1993;Thomson, Dzubak, & Hajduch, 2002;Zee-Cheng, 1992), (b) did not specifi cally name the herbal supplement used (Chan, Chang, Molassiotis, Lee, & Lee, 2003;Sharma & Alexander, 1996), or (c) did not involve the combination of herbal supplements and chemotherapeutic agents (Wilkinson & Chodak, 2003;Wills, Bone, & Morgan, 2000). Other articles discussed the use of CAM therapies by patients with cancer-specifically herbal supplements (McCune et al, 2004;Powell et al, 2002;Richardson, Sanders, Palmer, Greisinger, & Singletary, 2000) and approaches to counseling patients about the proper use of these supplements (Cawthorne et al, 1999;Michaud, 2000;Shapiro, Reddan, Winters, & Hamilton, 2001).…”

Presently, healthcare providers have little scientific evidence on which to base recommendations about use of herbal supplements with chemotherapy. Lack of product standardization and definitive knowledge about herb interaction with chemotherapy may expose patients with cancer to potentially serious side effects. Patients continue to use herbal supplements with their cancer treatments, often without informing their healthcare providers. Research currently is ongoing to study the effects of the concomitant administration of herbal supplements and chemotherapy.

Consumer demand for health information and health services has rapidly evolved to capture and even propel the movement to online health information seeking. Seventeen percent (52 million) of health information internet users will look for information about memory loss, dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD) (Fox Pew Internet & American life project: Online health search. Report. Pew Research Center. http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2006/Online-Health-Search-2006.aspx 2006, Pew Research Center. http://pewinternet.org/Reports/2011/HealthTopics.aspx 2011). We examined the content of the 25 most frequently retrieved websites marketing AD dietary supplements. We found that the majority of websites and their products claimed AD-related benefits, including improvement and enhancement of function, treatment for AD, prevention of AD, maintenance of function, delayed progression of AD, and decreased symptoms. Supplements were described as effective, natural, powerful or strong, dependable and pure or of high quality. Peer reviewed references to proper scientific studies were infrequent on websites. Statements highlighting the risks of dietary supplements were as common as statements mitigating or minimizing these risks. Different strategies were used to promote supplements such as popular appeals and testimonials. Further enforcement of relevant policy is needed and preparation of clinicians to deal with requests of patients and caregivers is indicated.
