No wonder we are so confused about supporting our cancer rehabilitation.
Dr Ralph Moss reports that cancer patients are frequently told by their oncologists not to take antioxidants while undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. Supposedly, antioxidants counteract the beneficial free radicals that are generated by conventional treatment, thereby interfering with its effectiveness. A small number of scientists have argued the opposite, suggesting that antioxidants do not generally interfere with cancer treatment but, rather, enhance its effectiveness while sparing normal cells from damage. It is one of the great dividing lines between conventional and CAM-oriented practitioners.
Now some research from the University of Rochester has contradicted the idea that antioxidants interfere and added credibility to the idea that they enhance treatment effectiveness.
What to do? What to do?
