| Herbs & Nutrition Support for Chemotherapy & Radiation |
| People who have had the misfortune to have to undergo either chemotherapy or radiation have special needs. Their bodies have been bombarded by not only the cancer cells but the poisons ( yes they are poisons) used to help rid their bodies of the invasive cells. Hopefully one day we will find a way to treat and/or prevent cancer without having to resort to these methods. |

| Useful Herbs Astragalus* Echinacea Goldenseal Ginseng Garlic* Ginkgo Biloba Kelp Most of these herbs are considered antioxidents. The ones marked * are also considered to help fight the cancer itself. Astragalus protects the liver from chemicals & generates anticancer cells. Echinacea boosts the immune system & enhances lymphatic function. Goldenseal strengthens the immune system, cleanses the body & has antibacterial properties. Ginseng contains germanium, a trace element that aids the immune system & has anticancer properties. Garlic is a natural antibiotic & again helps the immune system. Ginkgo Biloba is good for the brain cells , aids circulation & The immune system. Kelp contains iodine, calcium, iron & carotene which are considered necessary for the immune system's function. Dosages for these herbs vary, but I would consider consuming at the minumum 2 to 4 capsules a day. |
| Useful Vitamins |
| Though my website is by definition about herbal remedies; vitamins also play an extremely important roll in your health. The B vitamins will help build up a body weakened by the ravages of cancer & chemicals. I highly recommend a multiple plus an additional B complex. B6 & B12 are VERY necessary .Vitamin C is also extremely important for our health. Consider taking at least 2 1000 mg tablets per day. |

| Foods |
| We need to get away from the junk foods that most of us consume. A diet consisting of mostly raw foods have been beneficial for many people. Veggies Fruits Whole grains Very little meat Limited dairy products No refined sugar or flour These foods are not just good for cancer patients but for ALL of us to help us keep our health. |

| This is a very brief page concerning the special needs of cancer patients. Please research these remedies in depth. I believe that the natural cure for cancer lies in the plant world. Hopefully we will discover it before the plants become extinct. |
| Aloe Plant |
| I will very breifly address the chemical burns caused by radiation therapy. Aloe Vera is considered to be one of the best helps to this common but painful side effect. |
