More info needed: Bleach is not used medicinally. It is a whitener, cleaner and disinfectant...Dilute solutions may be used sparingly by dentists, deep smelly infected wounds have been cleaned with dilute bleach in the form of dakin's solution. Not sure what you mean by complementary doctors. Bleach is quite toxic if ingested.. Not sure there is any other role than what i listed.

If they are good: They send you to a hospital. The term "chlorine bleach overdose" implies there is an acceptable dose, below which bleach is safe. There is no such a dose. Any ingestion of bleach is a medical emergency, and you don't have time to worry about whether your doctor is trained in complimentary medicine. Incidentally, nearly every medicine your doctor uses is derived from a "natural" substance.

Toxic no matter what: "complementary doctors" could mean either licensed md's and do's practicing integrative medicine, or non-medically licensed alternative practitioners. Either way, chlorine bleach is toxic when ingested and requires immediate [licensed] medical attention in an er. Complementary practitioners have variable training and may not be "doctors" at all -- you really need to investigate credentials.
