Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 LIstserv, I have a patient diagnosed with DCIS ductal carcinoma insitu - grade 3 with necrosis. Her tumors were removed via lumpectomy, No lymph, bone, invasion. However, due to the invasive nature of this lesion, she's scheduled to have chemo and radiation. Does anyone have any adjunct therapy ideas. She's hoping to prevent some of the hair loss. Anyone have experience with this? Is it even any good to use antioxidants during this type of treatment? Those in the East Portland Metro area with experience, do you want a referral? Thanks Minga Guerrero DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hi Minga, Yes, your thoughts of antioxidants is right on ... using the liquid minerals (antioxidants personified) would be a good adjunct. Also, chrondroitin would be appropriate: it is antiangiogenic, stopping the development of blood flow to the tumor or tumor area; red clover is also good for this as is p'darco (aka taheebo) as both are excellent anticarcinogenic compounds. Liquid form is most recommended: MediHerb of Standard Process has good 200cc bottles of these as well as numerous other herbs. Good luck to your patient.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2004 Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Is it estrogen sensitive tumor? If so then calcium-D-Glucurate is a must. Some medical doctors are even using it instead of tamoxifen for follow up chemo. Do a search on Calcium-D-Glucurate and you can find a wealth of good info. Not only does it help eliminate estrogen via glucuronidation it also reduces the actual number of estrogen receptors. IP6 has been studied extensively at town university as a stand alone chemotherapeutic agent. IP6 is a form of inositol and is available over the counter.
