My doctor did not have a problem with supplements - this supplement encourages you to use traditional treatments because the formula works with them. If you look at Herceptin it is made to make the cells more vuernable to chemo or your immune system. These supplements help your immune system by making your natural killer cells more active. Cancer patients usually have very inactive NK cells - I believe that is part of the reason we got cancer to begin with. While chemo goes after all fast growing cells - the only ones we really need them to kill are the unhealthy (cancer cells)
Everyone will have to decide for themselves as to whether they wish to take supplements or not. My oncologist tells me that I am at very high risk of re-occurance, I therefore want all the help I can get.
