Have you tired alternative ways to help relive your symptoms that was recommend by a health professional?

Recently I've been taking different vitamins like vitamin D, c, e, cod liver oil and many other kinds to help my bones to my blood but recently medical marijuana has become legal in the UK I am not a smoker but I've been accepted and was told the benefits will help relieve my insomnia to my pain. I have a scheduled consultation with a doctor, I am wondering if anyone has had benefits from alternative medication like medical marijuana or vitamins.

Thank you
