Jackie,
I believe that there are things you can take that help with your battle with cancer, but some of the things you mention are sales schemes to market a product. They probably will not do you any harm, but I do not know how much good they will do. I was stage IV lung cancer and the only treatment available to me was chemo. You do not know for sure how it will affect you till you try it. The nice thing about it is that it does work for a lot of people. I took supplements and herbs along with my chemo. Some of them are purported to help with side effects. You can look them up on the Sloan Kettering web site. I have been cancer free since November 2005. I had no bad side effects from my chemo which consisted of Carboplatin, Taxol and Tarceva. I would never just rely on supplements or herbs. I would also get a second opinion. I do not think you have too much confidence in the ones you have. My story is posted on the Lance Armstrong web site. You can go to my story then you will be able to e-mail me.
