Supplements - An alternative/complimentary Breast Cancer Treatment Option
Attached is a snippet of my wife’s list of supplements she takes everyday as part of her alternative breast cancer treatment regimen . I think it’s a total of 60 pills, quite a load to swallow. The explanation of each supplement is my own one and might deviate from the manufacturers’. Please note: it is absolutely necessary that you work with a Health Care Professional if you decide to take supplements. He will be able to work out a plan for your individual situation. This is not something you shouldn’t take lightly. You need the advice of a professional in order to use supplements safely and effectively as part of an alternative or complimentary breast cancer treatment protocol. Alamax CR: This supplement contains alpha-lipoic acid and is supposed to help with cell creation and maintaining the existing cells in good health. CR stands for ‘controlled release’. It is designed to target and neutralize free radicals the moment their formation, before they can attack the healthy cells. B17: This is a complicated one and I advise you to check out Wikipedia’s description for more information. It is also commonly referred to as Amygdalin or Laetrile or Vitamin B17. Its effect and role in the treatment of breast cancer – or actually, any kind of cancer for that matter - has been largely controversially discussed over the past decades. The American Cancer Society once officially called it a quackery product. Other scientists are fond supporters and convinced by its efficacy in the treatment of cancers. BrocColinate: A Broccoli Seed Extract. Broccoli is known for its anti-oxidants and detoxifiers. This is in a highly concentrated form. Chlorella: Chlorella is being used for detoxification. CoQ10: The Co-Enzyme 10 is being used in alternative cancer treatment protocols for both, fighting cancer and relief from conventional cancer treatment side effects. Vitamin D3: The human body can produce Vitamin D from exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D plays a quite significant role in alternative cancer treatment and prevention. The Internet holds an abundance of information regarding the role of Vitamin D in cancer treatment. Here’s a link to a reputable and informative resource.
Fish Oil: Known for being very potent in Omega 3 fatty acids, which are being associated with a reduced risk of developing breast-cancer. Iodoral: Iodine is one of the essential elements and Iodoral is Iodine in high potency. It is supposed to support the hormone production of the thyroid gland. Maitake D extract: According to the American Cancer Society, promoters claim that this mushroom extract boosts the immune system, and limits the growth of tumors or even reverses them. Supposedly it also enhances the benefits of some chemotherapies and furthermore, helps chemotherapy patients dealing with side effects like nausea, pain and hair loss. Milk Thistle: Supports the liver fuction in its job in getting rid of toxics but also helps to sustain colon health. Multi Thera 1: Contains highly concentrated amounts of vitamins, antioxidants, minerals and natural carotenoids. Oncomar: Also known as Avemar. The supposed effect of this medical nutriment is to sustain mechanisms of regulation central to maintaining the health of cells and the immune system.
