- Mushrooms – There are a lot of new studies showing how these fight cancers – mushrooms irritate the liver and are not good to take during chemotherapy. You should switch them up by taking one mushroom one month, then the next month take a different mushroom, rotating back and forth. The ones recommended to me were:
- Agaricus mushrooms –needs to be greater than 40% polyscrines, 2000/mg daily – put in water and take on empty stomach = 2 grams AM and 2 grams PM.
- Turkey Tail mushrooms – greater than 40% polyscrines, 3000/mg daily – split the does ½ AM and ½ PM
- DIM Supplement for woman – 150 mg 1x daily, this has an estrogen component to it. Make sure you speak to your doctor before taking this supplement.
- NAC or N-Acetyl-L-Cystenine – it will help to detox the chemo stored in your fat cells once you are done with chemo. Start this 2 week after chemo stops and take for 3 months. 500-1000 mg 2x daily with food.
