Cancer Patients
I recommend the following for those who have a strong genetic susceptibility to cancer or for those who want a more aggressive prevention protocol:
Lipoic acid - 100 mg
Mixed vitamin E - 400 to 800 IU
Tocotrienois - 100 mg
Coenzyme Q10 - 300 mg
Turmeric extract - 900 to 1,800 mg of curcumin
Mixed carotenoid complex - 25,000 IU

Chemotherapy and Antioxidants
Many oncologists fear that supplementing with antioxidants (nutrients that neutralize negatively charged molecules called free radicals) may diminish chemotherapy’s effectiveness. Recently, researchers from three cancer institutes reviewed 19 studies involving 1,554 subjects who regularly took one or more antioxidant supplements (such as glutathione, melatonin, N-acetylcys,teine, ellagic acid, and/or vitamins A, C, and ‘E). Results: In 17 trials, patients taking antioxidants had either significantly or slightly better survival rates and/or tumor response, compared to control groups. Negative side effects from chemotherapy were reported in 17 studies-and in 15 of those, antioxidant users experienced similar or reduced levels of side effects. Check with your oncologist or nut~lt1on-oriented doctor for the latest information on antioxidants with certain types of chemotherapy treatments.

Detoxification Patients
People in detoxification programs benefit from antioxidants. The process of detoxification itself creates free radicals that need to be detoxified with antioxidants.
Vitamin C - 500 to 1,000 mg
Vitamin E - 400 IU
Lipoic acid - 100 mg
Milk thistle (85% silymarin) - 450 mg
Mixed carotenoid complex - 25,000 IU
Selenium - 200 meg
Green tea - 2 to 5 cups daily
NAC - l,200 mg daily
