Supplements
Nutrition 5 Comments »I’ve talked quite a bit about supplements in the past so I thought I would post a nice picture of the supplements I take on a daily basis. These have changed since I have completed radiation of course but the documentation in the resource library will give you a run-down of everything I have done. The previous links will show you the pics. Here is a quick list – obviously these are on top of lamitil, topomax, pepcid and a few other prescriptions that I take. Suffice it to say that my daily intake of pills is ridiculous!
Starting from left to right in the picture:
- Peppermint Complex (digestive)
- Boswellia (frankencense – anti-inflammatory)
- Super Antioxidants – click the link for the supplement facts on the type of Antioxindant that I take. The essentials here, among others, are selenium, zinc, N-Acetyl Cysteine, CoQ10, Grape Seed Extract.
- One-a-Day Multi-Vitamin
- Aloe Vera Gel – Digestive Tract
- Temodar 140mg – Chemotherapy. For my dosing it’s 280mg a night – I’m doing 1 week on / 1 week off. I’ll continue through 12 cycles.
- Probiotics – Acidopholis
- Fish Oil – 1000mg – Omegas – Important for brain tumor treatment, breaking down blood brain barrier.
- CoQ10 – additional dosing
For me and based on my research, this is what I’m doing. I’m not a doctor nor a nutritionist so I don’t advocate “copying” what I do. This is what I have been doing since I’ve gone straight on to just chemo. I have had stable scans. Can I attribut them to this regimen and the chemo? I have no idea. For all I know I could be doing none of this, including chemo and still have stable scans. However, I’m going to do eveything I can, based on my research, to make things right and fight the fight!
As an addendum, here is video called Nutritional and Herbal Strategies to Complement Conventional Brain Tumor Treatments by Jeanne Wallace, PhD, CNC. It’s about 40 minutes long and focused on diet and supplements
