  • THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association
    THE NEW ZEALAND MEDICAL JOURNAL Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association New Zealanders’ favourite natural health products are ineffective Significant numbers of adults and children use one or more forms of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), and the industry is worth billions of dollars globally. 1,2 There are a plethora of different therapies and products, but the vast majority are either not biologically plausible and/or not support by research evidence. e.g.,3–5 Based on feedback from talks to patient groups on the subject, from local health professionals and the media, it is apparent that some natural health products are particularly popular with the New Zealand public. These therapies and products are often advertised in local newspapers and on radio and are usually manufactured in New Zealand, which may be driving demand. They include: Colloidal silver—consists of tiny silver particles suspended in a liquid base and is taken orally, sprayed on the skin or even injected intravenously. Products are marketed as being beneficial for the immune system and for serious diseases including cancer, HIV and pneumonia. Silver does have some antimicrobial actions, but not only is there no clinical evidence of any efficacy for these serious indications, products have been shown to contain widely variable amounts of silver and can cause argyria —dangerous and untreatable silver poisoning. Deer velvet—a dietary supplement made from the antlers of deer that have been surgically removed whilst they are still growing. The idea that deer velvet has healing properties likely originates from the fact that as it is the only mammalian organ with the ability to regenerate itself, if used as dietary supplement it will confer health benefits.
