Supplements etc.
I am confused about all the stuff I've heard about that can help prevent or help treatment of cancer. My oncologist has never suggested that I take anything other than calcium and vit. D for my bones. Also recommends a low fat diet with lots of fruits and veggies (which I eat, along with everything else!)
From what I've read, there is evidence that these things do help. I am
wondering why we aren't all prescribed capsules full of olive oil or flax seed oil or oleic acid. No doctor has ever told me to drink green tea or pomegranate tea or to use lots of olive oil. Do doctors not believe this stuff helps?
