As the subject says I am looking for some supplements and vitamins where there have been case studies
AHCC mushroom powder mix 1.5-3 grams you can get 750 mg per capsule so you take either 2 or 4. , Beta Glucan at least 1000mg and broccoli sprouts 1000-2000 mg.
I take many other but make sure you're getting good amounts of Vit D, A and all the B's you can get with the b12 at around 5000mcg a day.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Head and Neck Cancers group.
Hi @ponderit, you can check out pubmed and do a search to see if any medical research has been published: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
Be careful of overdoing the B vitamins, especially B6. If you have chemo-related neuropathy, B6 can make it much worse. That has been my experience, at least.
Thanks megm. Been a long time without seeing you. Since 2015 thing have been difficult with me and my mom getting stage 4 cancers and my dad died in October the day before my mom called to tell me hangout her cancer. Hope you seeding well. says before my mom told me she had cancer.
Hey @ponderit, sorry to hear that things have been so tough. You and your mom are in my thoughts!
Do any studies show which vitamins should be avoided on keytruda?
Did you ever get an answer for this question? I see it was several years ago. I hope you are well, and Keytruda helped you. My husband just started Keytruda and Avastin 2 months ago.
I did not. I don't think anyone knows. My Dr. originally said just don't take them. My functional med Doc at same hospital said I should take them. So we compromised and I take Alive Liquid and some vegetable supplements and stop them 48 hours before infusion and 48 hours after.
My suggestion would be to try the amino acid lysine which is very good for fighting viruses in general and esp HPV. Taking lysine knocked out a viral based hives condition I had had (that MD thought was chronic) and it never came back.
How much lysine do you take and what form is it in?
It comes in capsule form--500 mg each cap. The directions say to take it on an empty stomach 2-3x daily with water.
Though I don't have HPV I've heard it shortens duration of cold sores. Anyway, it's definitely worth trying.
Available at any health food store though Swanson Vitamins (swansonvitamins.com) has probably the best prices (and is where I purchased mine).
Hope it helps.
