Ip6 and radiotherapy

Hi everyone,

I wish you all a Happy NY!

I just wondered what members thoughts were on taking IP6 after radical radiotherapy?

I read one article which suggested that IP6 could repair damaged cells so I'm in a quandary as to whether to give it to my husband or not. Obviously not if this is true.

He finished radiotherapy 3 months ago but I think cells are still dying for some time afterwards.

Any thoughts appreciated. Thank you x

I think that IP6 would be as useful to a radiation-targeted cancer cell as an unbrella during a drone strike.

There was a mouse study that showed that IP6 could inhibit the development of UVB-induced skin tumors, but I wouldn't extrapolate from that.

On the other hand, for peace of mind, there is little to be lost in delaying IP6 for a further 3 months, say.

why risk it for some unknown benefit?

I respect you much for searching for solutions for your husband . I felt like the radiation therapy keeps rolling for long after it’s halted . It’s side effects certainly keep giving. Keep asking and curing him with love . Good luck to you both in this new year. 🕊

Thanks WP ♥️

I'd do anything for him, only problem is I have no idea what that is! All the supplements and studies hurt my head but I feel I'd like to do more than wait

Best wishes to you and your lady

Good New Year to all !

Not everybody might know what IP 6 is.

Here a brief description:

webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingre...

IP-6

Acide Phytique, Calcium Magnesium Inositol Hexaphosphate, Calcium Phytate, Fytic Acid...

Overview Information

IP-6, inositol hexaphosphate, is a vitamin-like substance. It is found in animals and many plants, especially cereals, nuts, and legumes. It can also be made in a laboratory.

Some people use IP-6 to treat and prevent cancer, including prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, liver cancer, and blood cancers. Researchers have been studying the role of IP-6 in cancer treatment and prevention since 1988. But, so far, there have been no studies in people with cancer. A book called "IP-6, Nature's Revolutionary Cancer-Fighter" by prominent IP-6 researcher Abulkalam M. Shamsuddin, MD, Ph.D, has popularized IP-6 as an anti-cancer tool.

IP-6 is also used for boosting the immune system, treating anemia, and preventing heart disease and kidney stones.

In manufacturing, IP-6 is added to food to keep it from spoiling.

AS USUAL WITH SUPPLEMENTS YOU MAY OR

MAY NOT BELIEVE IN IT.

PLACEBO?

BUT, GO FOR IT !
