Efficacy of Alternative and Other Treatments According to GRADE* Ranking:

Vitae Elixxir[1, 2, 3]:

Please note, this management does NOT treat the condition itself. It is proposed only as a weak supportive symptomatic support, and even then, has insufficient evidence to back up this claim at present. Warning: Possible side effects of Vitae Elixxir include diarrhoea, pain, and a general worsening of existing symptoms.

Recommendation: No recommendation (Available evidence does not support claims that vitae elixir helps to treat multiple myeloma)

Grade of Evidence: very low quality of evidence
