I have general knowledge on supplements,and believe it will be necessary to help my dad get through chemo easier and strengthen his immune system . I understand that any supplements noted dictate personal experience and that no one is giving medical advice ,and I will diligebtly do my research on suggestuons from fellow healers. I've heard conflicting theories 1. Use no supplements as the doctors want the body to be as weak as can be for the chemo to work 2.) That this is a ridiculous statement because one wants to protect friendly cells and all organs. If you name a supplement please just put what for. For example milk thistle :protect liver. I If there are supplements that help chemo work or protect the body for it or specifically help with exhaustion and lack of sleep , or to keep the body in condition to fight specifically prostate cancer. My dear friend emailed me this list I will share but I also want to hear from men that first hand can say this made a difference for me or here's what helped me through. In any event I hope we can evaluate this integrative aspect, as some have proposed. Ty for sharing your supplement protocols. Following is one persons protocol. Happy healing to all.

DaddyIsHealing -

The one thing I take that is unusual is Vitamin d3 @ 30,000 units, and here is why:

Dr Bruce Hollis talking about it, answering questions - reduces the severity of the cancer

(a somewhat vague characterization)

He has longer ones, where he talks, that are wonderful. Here is one:

There are (many) others.

I take a lot of those supplements on a daily basis. I think that the milk thistle was probably the most important. It kept my liver levels from dropping. We need to keep the liver propped up.

I am taking 4 capsules of Turkey Tail extract and Community Defense mushrooms by Host Defense (protocol by a local primary care doctor for cancer patients. Also check out Ted Talks on Turkey Tail mushrooms NIH study. Also 10,000 iu of D3, Magnesium, gamma-e (not alpha that was in FDA study) and B-12. B-12 and D3 fight inflammation. Turkey Tail and Community Defense mushrooms boost the immune system, selenium, zinc and magnesium that works with D3 as well as gamma-e which has been shown to shrink tumors in some limited studies.

May not be the right protocol but it is as close as I can come with what I know and seems to be keeping my energy up most of the time. It is also worth noting that some studies show it really helps reduce side effects of chemo. Good luck.

Ty for sharimg. What mg of b12, selenium, mg and gamma..?

The turkey tail im.waiting on and bought the d3. I've also been reading about vitamin k as studies are being done, but my dad is skeptical of things he labels as pills so im.trying to choose the most important .

His main side effect of all treatment is exhsustion

B12 in liquid form "Ultra B-12" NOW brand 5,000 mcg (I take this dosage because my body does not assimilate B-12 almost at all and this is the only form that seems to work). Selenium 100 - 200 mg (max) and 400 iu of Gamma E capsules. Hope that helps.

Ty I understand the difficulty in finding pure supplements. however, people often say I don't want to put chemicals in my body, but plant based or other, food contains chemicals, some needed to live. my father thinks of all supplements as drugs. or "pils" but I think moderation and research and a fair amount of common sense should be used in taking any chemical, be it food, supplements , or medicine and I thank you for your comment as it reads clearly to proceed with caution,and I agree. would you disagree with the use of milk thistle to protect the liver when one needs to take medicines detrimental to the liver such as chemo or pain medicine? I do have some faith in evolution and the body's ability to protect itself just as the plant does and since we are higher on the food chain it would stand to make sense that some, not all can handle a fair amount of supplementation or use of herbs or eating a plant based diet. I hope you are doing well. happy healing

I and most are well aware that food is chemicals and that "all natural" does not mean it's good for you. The poppy plant is all natural, but quite dangerous in both its natural and synthetic forms. you seem to favor pharmaceutical synthetic drugs, yet on your website you list herbs etc that are useful in various diseases. Please expand on your position . if you have time, please clarify the idea that synthesized means pure, when to get a patent on an existing drug various chemicals must be added to make it different than the previous formula and fda standards have proven not to be stringent enough and allow for a certain degree of 'unclean' compounds in pur food and drugs. Synthetic drugs have other chemicals in them i was taught so please correct me if i am wrong. I would truly like to understand your advice for patients in a system that does not embrace all that Nature gives us nor does it focus on diet for healing . can you please expand on your thesis because I've been wrapped in this very poor medical system my whole life and in no way would I consider medications "pure," when so many have the added clause" may cause death. "has acidophilus ever caused death ? I'd like to understand so please explain as I do respect your expertise . I have tried over 30 synthetic hormone combinations to control disease and there is nothing pure nor natural about synthetic hormones in my opinion and the body is often smart enough to recognize as not it's own and not respond according to plan. I believe in integrative Healthcare your website shows that supplements have benefits, but your words discourage their use. I'm completely on the same side as you, the side of longevity . You mention the dangers of chemicals building up. in our society it is impossible to avoid dangerous chemicals completely so what is your advice for cancer patients in regards to avoiding carcinogenics, balancing those that we are subject to, and appoaching prevention and healing of cancer.
