This suggestion tripped me up because Marik advises against Vitamin E during chemo, does he not, in his Cancer Care monograph? Here is his text: "Antioxidant supplements (vitamins A, C, and E; coenzyme Q10, and N-acetyl cysteine) should be
avoided in patients with cancer. In an experimental model, Wang et al demonstrated that
This suggestion tripped me up because Marik advises against Vitamin E during chemo, does he not, in his Cancer Care monograph? Here is his text: "Antioxidant supplements (vitamins A, C, and E; coenzyme Q10, and N-acetyl cysteine) should be
avoided in patients with cancer. In an experimental model, Wang et al demonstrated that
vitamin C, vitamin E and n-acetylcysteine (NAC) increased tumor angiogenesis by BACH1
mechanism (redox-sensitive transcription factor BTB and CNC homology 1)."
He also advises against IV Vitamin C, which was surprising because IV Vit C has been heralded in many cancer trials as a reason for their success.
This is tricky. My wife has early stage Parkinsons. She didn't want the prescribed meds because she knew about their side effects, so she was taking NaC instead. It did seem to help with her tremor. Now, she's got stage 4 ovarian cancer - taking FB/IVM (so far to no effect after 2 months) but dropped the NaC. Her tremor is definitely worse.
The gods said; "Would you rather go blind with glaucoma, get Parkinsons or be late diagnosed with stage 4 cancer? We see you're hesitant, so try all three at once"! It's a bit of a bugger.

Any antioxidant will fight the intended poisonous effect of most chemo. The idea is that cancers are dumb and more easily killed than normal tissue.
