Nutrition For Cancer Patients
Must Contain Antioxidants

Nutrition for cancer patients was severely damaged in April of 2005 when a study was published by a team of researchers led by Isabelle Bairati M.D. The study using synthetic antioxidants during radiation would raise the risk of patients recurrence. This naturally led oncologists all over the world to have a very negative reaction to antioxidant nutrition for cancer patients.

However, the conclusions drawn from the study were wrong.

Dr Bairati's research group choose to return to the study and review the conclusions more closely. They found a major flaw in the original conclusions. They found that the danger from the synthetic antioxidants was limited to one particular group included in the study and no one else. This group was all smokers. And not only that only the smokers that continued to smoke during radiation were affected. Smoking either before or after caused no problems. This increased these patients risk dramatically and the statistics skewed the entire study. This led to the erroneous conclusion that antioxidants interfered with radiotherapy in the general patient population. Cancer patients were thus given back a terrific tool to help them fight off the ravages of chemo and radiation therapy and become cancer free.

There are of course many studies which show that antioxidant rich foods and supplements do indeed help the body reduce damaging free radicals from all sources. Chemo and radiation therapies cause not only free radicals but severely degrade the immune system and a good nutrition plan with food and supplements can help dramatically with both these problems.

As Paul Harvey says “Now you know the rest of the story.” If you want the whole story on natural healing for cancer patients read Bill Henderson's fantastically successful book "Cancer Free". Successful in curing thousands of patients.

Dr Robert Jay Rowen a strong proponent of natural and nutritional methods to prevent and cure disease states” if you have cancer and you are planning to use radiation or chemotherapy, he strongly urges everyone to use natural (not synthetic) antioxidants.”

Dr Rowan and his clinic colleagues have consistently seen better outcomes and less toxicity in patients who take natural antioxidant supplements and increase their intake of antioxidant foods.

His advice also includes the recommendation that if your oncologist warns you about taking antioxidants based on his or her knowledge of the old study have them read the new results listed below. There was a great deal of press when the first study came out and nearly zero press on the new revised information.

If you are undergoing any kind of radiation or chemotherapy your body is going to be weakened to some extent. Since everyone is different it is hard to say what each individual is going to undergo. Natural whole food supplementation and a diet increase of fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants will only help your body during this stressful time. If you will look at our formula Super Fuel Plus (Super Max) you will see many ingredients designed to help people under going stressful medical therapies. All of our ingredients are from natural sources. Our lab is a Certified Organic Handler and Processor.

The ingredients that are especially helpful to cancer patients are the antioxidants, The super greens, the whey protein and all of the immune boosting elements. The total balance of Super Max is incredible and I believe it is a excellent source of nutrition for cancer patients. Check with your oncologist for other ways to boost your bodies immune fighting ability.

Be Cancer Free. Cancer can be cured naturally. If you have chosen to do traditional cancer treatment there are natural ways to make the treatments easier on the human body. Recommended by Dr Frank Shallenberger and Dr. Robert J. Rowan
