Hi Anna, Salvestrols are compatible with chemotherapy but I recommend taking only one capsule daily while you are undergoing treatment. If you are advised not to eat then do not take any. Some naturapathic doctors prescribe salvestrols to combat the side effects of chemotherapy.
Irinotecan is a powerful anticancer agent derived from the Chinese Happy Tree which has been used to treat cancer in traditional chinese medicine for centuries. It is better than most chemotherapy agents and is good because it is not carcinogenic. Irinotecan is typically used in combination therapy combined with a variety of other cytotoxic agents.
I have found 2 testimonials from a Dutch website of people who have taken salvestrols while undergoing chemotherapy:
· Salvestrol & Chemotherapy
I used Salvestrol platinum on the advice of my naturopath, combined with my chemotherapy. This time the recovery was faster after my treatment and I was less sick. Since I have used this product it has really improved my health. I recommend it to anyone who has to deal with cancer (as a supplement to conventional treatment).

Salvestrol in combination with chemotherapy is safe to do. My condition remained good.My blood count barely dropped. My HB remained above 8.1. I was never once sick, weak or nauseous. The fatigue was negligible when I compare myself with fellow patients. Now after the chemo I continue to take Salvestrol. I feel great. I also take a large dose of vitamin C.
