Antioxidants will definitely lessen the damaging effects of chemo which is why they do not generally want you to take them during chemo. It also helps protect the cancer cells according to some oncologists.

Personally, I would probably skip the chemo and do the antioxidants.

I was on a vigorous antioxidant program while I was on chemo, and I do not think that there will be any problems. Skip the M****tech garbage. It is overpriced sugar. Every think that you need can be purchased from any discount suppliter of nutritional suppliments.

I recomend the book "Antioxidants Against Cancer". For helpful info.

I hope I am not crossing the line in any way here, but it looks as though you are getting medical advice from some people who are either less than knowledgeable about your specific cancer situation and/or are unqualified to suggest whether or not to submit to chemo therapy. I hope you will take every comment (including my own) with a huge "grain of salt". After all, this is a public forum and anyone can say anything without having to deal with the consequences of their advice. I'm sorry to say I have no information as to the risks or benefits in taking antioxidants with chemo. Check with your doctor is my only suggestion.

There is definite scince to argue against using strong antioxidants when undergoing radiation therapy for cancer, but it is more questionable regarding chemotherapy. Most Alternative cancer treatments are not thoguht to interfere with most chemotherapy in any meaningful way. However, the oncologists often tell pateints not to use "vitamins and supplemetns" during chemotherapy because they think it does no good, and who knows if it might interfere with their "proven chemotherapy treatments".

Dr REg McDaniel who has been researching glyconutrients for over 20 years and has tracked hundreds of cancer patients on and off chemo suggests at least 8 AO a day along with about 48 scoops of Advanced A*****ose and Lewis Lecithin, Plus, etc...
I can give you the whole thing if you want but Dr Hyland has a study on

on glycos and chemo.
When my people have taken glycos and AO and Chemo they've had no side effects from the chemo ....
good luck
