IMPORTANT NOTICE
This information is for educational purposes only, to facilitate quality conversations between patients and their personal physician(s). Several essential considerations are required to safely administer any protocol for an individual.

In conventional medicine, a “procedure” is an action that a health professional provides to a patient. While most procedures are done with needles and knives (surgery), there are also evaluative and “counseling” procedures. Treatment “modalities” are also procedures but they are usually non-invasive and not always provided by health professionals.
