What Doctors Don't Tell YouAny alternatives to steroids, asked a reader last week. For a start, cut out alcohol, suggests one reader, but also reduce the fat content – especially animal fats – in the diet, and avoid junk foods. Replace with plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables, ideally eaten raw. A fruit diet for the first few days can be a good way to start. Another suggestion is to use aloe vera as a substitute for the steroids.
