I totally agree Lisa !!!!!!!!!
I didn't "ask" my oncologist about herbs. I "told" him what I am taking and gave him my licensed naturopathic physician's business card !!!!!!!
I expect all my M. D.s to accept my naturopathic physican as a medical professional. I expect all my
M. D.s to accept my decisions about food, herbs and supplements. That said I always do research on every herb and supplement I am considering to make sure there is no negative interaction with whatever conventional medicine I am taking.
I have taken milk thistle every day since my diagnosis more than 12 years ago, never had problems with liver enzymes and I never had liver mets. My blood test results including my white blood counts and red blood counts have always been good. I never needed shots to help them and I never needed blood transfusions thanks to my licensed naturopathic physician and my own research about food, supplements and herbs.
