I’m very hesitant to go with anything that hasn’t been proven to work via something like clinical studies. Some herbs, supplements, etc. can interfere with chemotherapy/radiation, making the treatment less effective, and damage could be done to the body. I would talk with a doctor before trying anything that could result in harm or a negative outcome.
@s6819103, short answer - untested treatments can do harm. When we read repeated stories of success about this or other unproven treatments that circulate widely, the repetition can give the appearance of - it must be true or everyone is doing it.
As @stageivsurvivor said in another discussion:
“ Think carefully as drug/drug and drug/supplement interactions can have consequences. Damage to the liver would mean having to pause chemo. Permanent damage would terminate cancer treatment. Bad decisions can have bad consequences and there might not be a “do-over” moment.”
Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding your health. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the community or on social media.
