Hello:
Good nutrition during chemo and radiation can reduce the side effects of the
treatments. I know of an oncologist that utilizes both radiation and chemo
and finds that less of each are required when there is proper nutrition and
the body's cells are brought to an alkaline state.
My brother in law is a VietNam war vet. He was in special forces in
"deleted" just prior to the war and in Vietnam afterwards. When he came
home he found that as long as he worked at jobs where he was mostly alone,
he did well. Most of the the years afterwards, he drove transport. About 4
years ago he was driving and a rock went through his windshield and he went
into flash back and he decompensated. He's had severa admissions to the
psyche ward at the VA hospital - the end result being that he is now home
but on 20-30 pills a day of varying medications including serotonin uptake
inhibitors, lithium, meds for his heart and other meds for the agent orange
syndrome. I don't know what all the pills are but he had been having 24
hour non stop nausea for months. He found that when he was taking a
particular nutritional product with the pills that the nausea was not there.
He experimented with it back and forth and proved it to himself and they now
have a nausea free household. As long as he swallows the juice with the
pills, there is no nausea.
It's hard to have an appetite during chemo and radiation. It's even hard to
eat at all sometimes with the pain and cachexia that comes with cancer let
alone adding treatments on top of it.
I think that where they are coming from is that they want the drugs to do
their worst without any interference. They are concerned the nutritional
supplements will somehow negate the effects of chemo which is expensive
enough as it is. Side effects could be one way that they determine that a
drug is working. More side effects, decreased white count, anemia, nausea,
vomitting etc. = drug is working harder and better for the person. Wierd
science if you ask me. So if they see a reduction in side effects, they
make the assumption that whatever theperson was taking is reducing the
effectiveness of the chemo. More wierd science.

Mark,
It really is a shame that people undergoing chemo are told not to take any
supplements. We got the same thing from some of the nurses and so-called
Nutritianists at MD Anderson. I'm glad we didn't listen. We did our own
investigation. It's all explained in the book Beating Cancer with
Nutritian
by Patrick Quillin. All the studies that dispute that type of ignorance.
Quillin was the director for Nutritian at Cancer Treatment Centers of
America and knows what he is talking about. We followed a lot of his
advise
and my husband who was taking tons of supplements became their star
patient.
He had really only had a few treatments before they could nolonger find
any
Cancer. He didn't get all the heart damage and other damage from the chemo
that patients usually get. He also didn't go on to having radiation or a
bone marrow transplant either. That was a few years ago and for now he's
healthier than I am. I believe they tell you to avoid supplements out of
ignorance and false beliefs that have been invalidated by actual testing
and
practice. If these oncologists and nurses know so much, how come most of
their patients are dying from chemo? Just a question. You seem to have
doubts about what they are saying too. I think people just need to
question
more of what they are being told because it is a matter of life and death
and also a matter of long term damage to vital organs.
