In 2022, he appointed Dr. Michael Dixon, 71, another staunch supporter of homeopathy, as the head of his royal medical household.
After Dixon's appointment became public, Buckingham Palace released a statement announcing that the doctor thinks complementary therapies can "sit alongside conventional treatments, provided they are safe, appropriate and evidence-based."

Complementary therapies offer benefits for cancer patients
According to Cancer Research U.K., some patients use complementary therapies to feel better, ease the side effects of several cancer treatments and improve their quality of life.
Some common examples of beneficial therapies include acupuncture, aromatherapy, herbal medicine, massage therapy, visualization and yoga.
Cancer Research U.K. also said: "A good complementary therapist won't claim that the therapy will cure your cancer," adding that they will "always encourage you to discuss any therapies with your cancer doctor or GP."
Many health professionals also support patients with cancer using complementary therapies.
However, some may be reluctant for their patients to use them. They claim that this is because many therapies have not been tested in the same way as more conventional treatments. But Dixon has been vocal about his support for natural treatments like aromatherapy and reflexology on the National Health Service (NHS).
Naysayers insist that while alternative therapies are often used instead of medical treatment, there is no scientific evidence they can cure cancer.
Others also claim that these natural therapies may cause harmful side effects or interfere with other treatments.
Some examples of alternative therapies for cancer include laetrile (a plant substance), "shark cartilage supplements" and Gerson therapy, which involves following an organic vegetarian diet and having up to five coffee enemas a day.
Health benefits of Gerson therapy
King Charles has previously expressed his support for Gerson therapy, which involves drinking up to 13 glasses of fruit juice a day. In 2004, he told the Royal College of Gynecology that the therapy should be investigated for its "beneficial nature" instead of being dismissed.
The German doctor Max Gerson developed Gerson therapy in the 1920s and 30s. He said that it helped cure his migraine headaches.
He then went on to use it to treat other diseases such as tuberculosis and cancer. Gerson therapy is also known as the Gerson diet, Gerson regimen or the Gerson method.
Gerson therapy involves changes to your diet and nutrient intake. It aims to rid the body of toxins and strengthen your immune system.
Gerson therapy can help bring the body back to its normal metabolic state, allowing your body to heal itself.
The Gerson regime has three main parts:
- A strict organic vegetarian diet made up of fruit and vegetables full of potassium and low in sodium
- Vitamin and mineral supplements and specific enzymes
- Coffee or castor oil enemas
Gerson therapists believe that people with cancer have too much salt (sodium) in their bodies compared to the amount of potassium.
People following Gerson therapy only eat organic, vegetarian food. The therapy also encourages followers to consume up to 13 glasses of fresh juices a day.
Consuming fresh juices can help restore the right balance and cleanse the liver.
Having up to five coffee enemas a day is also required in Gerson therapy. Practitioners believe that coffee enemas further help to excrete toxins from the liver and colon.
Additionally, taking certain supplements and enzymes can help the body eliminate cancer cells.
