I hear what you both are saying but too bad that didn't apply to all the toxic drugs we are given to battle this disease and in many cases they are the ones that due us in. Sorry, if I sound negative but think about it. Which is worse? I don't believe there is a supplement on the market that can do us as much harm as chemo drugs! I know the question here is they can infere with our treatments. That is why one needs to use a consultant whose job is researching the supplements that can be taken while a patient is in treatment. The oncologist will say don't take any supplements because they do not have the time to do the necessary research nor do they have the time to even talk to the patient about them. They are paid by the hospital to use toxic drugs which provides them with income. I have family members who are nurses so I am not talking through my hat. I think the doctors work very hard to treat us the best they can with what they have to work with and are trained to do. My oncologist is very up front about what he is allowed to do and can't do. He says the bureaucrats drive him crazy!! I admire him for being honest. Enough said as I am sure I have not made any friends with this posting. I do enjoy your posting Eric and Al and you are right on with good information so keep it coming. Sending you all a hug and a smile. Sandy
