Re: 1000% increase in chemotherapy efficiency with prozac!

Pretty sure (but will try to find out where I read this to confirm). I remember thinking the same as you did when reading the info and being surprised too. But no it is broken down quickly by the body (defending itself) and the weeks that follow chemo is used to deal with the cellular damages and metabolites created (which we associate with chemo action but it is in fact chemo effects).

Well indeed 24h separation is not long in any case..

And indeed again if you in the USA have onconlogists that are ready to sit down and take the time to read this and are open to suggestions and progressive then yes it would be great to ask!

And there is no counter indication for you to use it then it seems that there is little to be lost..IMHO
