This is a slippery slope for me. I never took any additional vitamins during
chemo and herception , only calcium and magnesium. Now I take more and my oncologist suggested a few things natural instead of prescription
drugs for me. One being Omega-3, red yeast rice and coQ10 for my high
cholesterol. ???? Is that good, I don't know. Then I started with 100% Goji, Acai, Noni and Mangosteen Juice??? I just don't know. I read all this
and get on your confused seat. Maybe nothing is better. I will have complete blood panel done in three weeks. Maybe this will tell the tale.
