But "more powerful" doesn't mean the same as. And in vivo studies on rats show that there is a direct positive effect fromthe interaction of MAK and chemo. Likewise with a recent study on humans. Also, vitamin pills are almost never as effective as eating natural sources. Telling people not to take vitamin C during chemo without direct evidence that it effects one in a negative way means telling cancer patients they shouldn't eat oranges since the average organce has more than the MDR of C. ------------------------ Yahoo!
