It is important to keep up with the latest studies as thinking is changing on how to best mitigate nausea while enhancing efficacy of chemotherapy and radiation. I had stage II muscle invasive bladder cancer. I used proven holistics before and concurrent with chemotherapy and not only had no side effects like nausea, but also had enhanced effectiveness of the chemotherapy and am now cancer free.
Interestingly, on a trip to Brazil, I found that most oncologist recommend all their post cancer patients take i gram each of vitamin C and curcumin daily. The USA pushes pharmaceuticals instead, many of which have bad side effects.
Here are current studies:

Hope this is helpful.

Hi again. I thought I would mention the one thing that was still missing for me in my use of Turmeric/curcumin and vitamin C while in my treatment. There is no information anywhere on dosing. Since vitamin C is water soluble, it may only stay in your blood for as little as 2 hours from the time you take it. Too deal with this, I was taking Timed-release C, which distributes the release of the C in your gut over a much longer period of time. Second, neither of these has any side effect and vitamin C has been taken up to 10 grams/day. If it does cause diarhea at that point, back off on the dose a couple of grams.
All during Chemotherapy, I was taken 4 to 6 grams of both curcumin and vitamin C staggered throughout the day. The turmeric/curcumin is not what you buy in the grocery store. Rather, it is 95 standardized curcuminoids, which can be bought online or at vitamin stores.. It should have money back garentees and tested by an outside lab for quality. Some of this information is available by googling online.
