My notes on supplements to take around the time of CANCER surgery:

" Panax ginseng should be administered to any cancer patient undergoing surgery

to promote healing and inhibit...metastasis " Yance (2009).

Gammill, believes cancer patients should take anti-inflammatories (but

only those that DON’T thin your blood) for 1 month after surgery to prevent

metastasis.

" Surgical Support " -- fractionated pectin (6.5 gm bid), vits. A & C,

bioflavanoids

“General Pre-Op Nutritional Protocolâ€â€ " vit. A 25-50,000 IU daily, vit. C 4g

daily, zinc 60mg daily, catechin, B vits. (Tim Birdsall, ND, Cancer Treatment

Centers of America [CancerCenter.com])

“General Post-Op Nutritional Protocolâ€â€ " all the above and vit. E 400-800IU,

probiotics, bromelain (3200 MCU) 1g tid, curcumin 400mg tic (Tim Birdsall, ND)

“consider taking oral hematoxylin prior to the surgery. This not only helps

kill the cancer but it stains (a purplish color) thus making it much easier for

the surgeon to identify those areas to be removed. Ukrain does this too. The

tumor

will fluoresce a yellowish green under UV light†Gammill, 4/1/10

It's helpful to take antimetastatic supplements to prevent metastasis from

surgery. My notes on antimetastatic supplements:

panax ginseng, MODIFIED CITRUS PECTIN (MCP), guar gum

fucoidan and modifalin.com, Ave, genistein (in fermented soy)

maitake, shiitake, reishi, & coriolus versicolor mushrooms; butcher’s broom,

horse chestnut, aloe, melatonin, green tea, curcumin, resveratrol, feverfew,

ginger, mistletoe, boswelia

Rhodiola Rosea/Rhodalia Rosea/arctic root/golden root, amygdalin, astragalus,

Grapes, bilberries, cranberries (unsweetened;

www.rxpgnews.com/cancer/article_2649.shtml), cruciferous vegetables

(particularly broccoli and watercress for BC)

vits. C (Cameron et al, 1979; Henson et al, 1991

[www.dragonfly75.com/eng/vitC.html]), D3, E, quercetin, IP6, selenium,

germanium, Dr. Rath protocol; NAC

lycopene (for PC patients), anti-inflammatory supplements

AVOID zinc and (if you have BC) black cohosh.

" Panax ginseng should be administered to any cancer patient undergoing surgery

to promote healing and inhibit...metastasis " Yance (2009).

cimetidine (Tagamet)†" prevents metastasis; “1,000 mg /day in divided dosesâ€

(Gammill, 3/10); take milk thistle to support liver while using it
