Agreed, agreed with Terri and others. Although foods and/or supplements are powerful medicines (or in the case of McDonalds - poisons), they have not been part of any clinical trials therefore much remains to be totally proven. And doctors don't recommend or try anything without a proven trial - hence some situations many of us have been in during this journey.
However, there are some bonefide facts - a healthful diet is healthy. When I was on Herceptin therapy, if I didn't have a salad everyday that I made a dressing with extra virgin olive oil, I would take a tablespoon off a spoon. I was at my sister's once and my niece saw me do this. She immediately told my sister who told my niece - its one of those things Aunt Becky does. If she believes it helps her then it does.
