Good Morning Craig;
A friend of my wife who is Dx. with Breast Cancer recently returned from her Oncologist who couldn't believe the increase in her cell counts. Asked her if she had a SCT without his knowledge?
She informed the good Dr. that she's been eating large amounts of blueberries and taking shark cartilege and liver oil pills.
Have you any information regarding the two pill supplements she's been taking?
Also, I too eat blueberries, but only in moderation, as I'm concerned about their acidic content. Therefore, I've switched more to raspberries and blackberries. Any opinions on this blueberry consumption would also be appreciated.
Take care, remember, only 12 more shopping days left,
Kevin
My first question is for a definition of SCT. :-)
Secondly, when you say an increase in cell count are your referring to cancer cells or other cells (e.g. red, white)?
Shark cartilage has been a cancer treatment supplement for many years, but my understanding is that it has never proven to be very effective. For this reason we've never used it with my wife. I'm assuming by liver oil you mean cod liver oil. If so ... it is a very supplement to take with most cancers. Fish or flaxseed oils have very high anti-cancer properties and are also very neuroprotective and help reduce the side effects of chemo. Blueberries are also considered an anti-cancer product. I would have her check with the pharmacist about any contraindications of blueberries with her medication. For instance, one doesn't want take grapefruit or pomegranates with Velcade due to toxic side effect interactions.
