Any suggestion for strengthening cancerous liver to withstand chemotherapy?
Q. A few weeks ago my Grandmother got diagnosed with terminal lung cancer that has spread to her liver. Her liver is not strong enough to withstand Chemotherapy. Are there any supplements that you can recommend that can help her in some way with her cancer?

A. There are several things you can do to help her. Is your goal to maximize her lifespan or only to aid in quality of life? Here are some important supplements...
  • AHCC is a patented natural product from Japanese grown mushrooms. It has been proven to extend lifespan and improve quality of life in cancer patients.
  • PaleoGreens is an antioxidant rich powdered drink which helps strengthen the immune system, digestion, liver, and more. It also tastes good, and can be mixed with Whey Protein powder, orange flavored fish oils, and frozen berries to make a delicious smoothie which will improve your grandmother's quality of life, weight, immune system, etc.
    Remember protein is essential to the immune system, and to maintenance of her lean body mass. The more healthy protein she can eat the better, since I understand her appetite is probably fair or poor.
  • Finest Pure Fish Oils—this is a pure omega 3 supplement. Omega-3 have been shown to improve quality of life for cancer patients and to aid in immune system, inflammatory system, and more. Use 1 Tbs per day.
  • To the smoothie also consider adding L-glutamine for the immune system- an essential amino acid.
  • HLC Intensive Probiotics—healthy bacteria for her gut to aid in regular bowel movements, immune health, and absorption of nutrition, production of B-vitamins needed for proper cell reproduction, and more. 1 cap with each meal, or just open 3 caps into smoothie once daily
  • N-Acetyl Cysteine is a direct precursor to a powerful antioxidant called Glutathione which targets the respiratory system. It's evidence is stronger in prevention of lung disease including cancer, but also has some research suggesting its ability to limit tumor growth.
  • Stabilized R-Lipoic Acid Supreme is anther powerful antioxidant which targets the liver. You may be interested in reading "The Lipoic Acid Miracle" about cases of a medical doctor who treated terminal liver cancer patients with IV Lipoic Acid and reversed the cancer.
  • Pure Milk Thistle by Pharmax to help protect and rejuvenate her liver.
