HMMMM, interesting, but...
When I had this discussion with Dr. Slamon who is the Father of Herceptin
he did not want supplements while on chemo/herceptin.
Part of chemo treatment unfortunately does destroy healthy cells.
These is still unanswered questions regarding the many pathways
that channel cancer. Research has not discovered just exactly what
occures and there are yet many theories as to why the cancer cells
survive and destory our healthy cells..but we certainly do not want
to defeat the actons of the drugs. Nothing is better than our bodies
abilites to protect us as far as I am concerned, but as I said earlier
it is still a mystery as to "why" our cells cannot defeat the cancer cells.
I believe this is yet another topic that is ripe for discussion!
Regards,
jean
