Are Antioxidants Contraindicated in Cancer?


---------------------

reached my lymph nodes on diagnosis (there was a palpable lump in my armpit). My treatment plan was 6 cycles of chemo followed by mastectomy and 25 rads.

During my treatments I took the following supplements: 7000mg ester C (vit C) 1 x B complex 200iu vit E 15mg zinc with copper 200ug selenium astragalus milk thistle.

I took these every day without fail. I also juiced massive amounts of fresh organic fruit and veg, EVERY DAY. On a daily basis I would juice over 12 oranges, over 8 apples, approx. 4 lemons, a pint of beetroot juice, a pint and a half of carrot juice, plus any veg I had such as broccoli, etc. I also changed my diet drastically and overnight. I was essentially vegan, eating no animal products at all and eating plenty or organic fruit and veg, pulses, grains (brown rice, etc.), seeds, nuts, wholewheat bread and pasta (I made my own bread so that I knew what was in it).

My aim was to take a load off by not eating meat etc., but, primarily to FLOOD my body with antioxidants. I was consuming maximum amounts of antioxidants by way of food, juices and supplements. It was not physically possible for me to add to my intake of antioxidants.

Antioxidants are 'supposed' to interfere with chemo? Then I am an exception to the rule. My cancer was not detectable by ultrasound or mammogram after the 4th chemo. Because of the aggressive nature of my type of cancer I had to continue and have the remaining 2 cycles. After my op the path report showed a 100% response to chemo. All signs of cancer, including the 24 lymph nodes, had vanished completely without even a trace! There was no evidence that it had been there.

I would argue that my very high intake of antioxidants actually worked synergistically with the chemo, increasing the efficiency. I also had no side effects to treatments at all. I was doing very heavy, physically demanding work throughout my chemo.
