AICR “champions the latest and most authoritative scientific research from around the world on cancer prevention and survival through diet, weight and physical activity, so that we can help people make informed lifestyle choices to reduce their cancer risk.”
“No single food can protect you against cancer by itself. But research shows that a diet filled with a variety of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans and other plant foods helps lower risk for many cancers. In laboratory studies, many individual minerals, vitamins and phytochemicals demonstrate anti-cancer effects. By including more foods that fight cancer into your diet, you will help reduce your risk of developing cancer.”

Managing Neuropathy
“Peripheral neuropathy refers to the many conditions that involve damage to the peripheral nervous system. The peripheral nervous system is a large communications network that sends signals between the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) and all other parts of the body.”
“Peripheral nerves send many types of sensory information to the brain, such as the message that your feet are cold. They also carry signals from the brain and spinal cord out to the rest of the body. Peripheral nerves send signals to the muscles that tell them to contract, which is how we move, but also different types of signals help control everything from our heart and blood vessels, digestion, urination, sexual function, and to our bones and immune system”

GLUTAMINE –“Glutamine is a major dietary amino acid that is both a fuel and nitrogen donor for healing tissues damaged by chemotherapy and radiation. Evidence supports the benefit of oral (enteral) glutamine to reduce symptoms and improve and/or maintain quality of life of cancer patients.”

Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA) - Has been seen to reduce symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in diabetic patients, and may help with symptoms of chemotherapy-induced neuropathy. Taking 300 mg twice daily or 600 mg daily is considered a safe dose. Symptom improvement is seen within 3-5 weeks. ALA is generally found to be safe and tolerable, though it may cause gastrointestinal Upsetness, headache, rash, and rarely some renal dysfunction.
​
Alpha-lipoic acid may interfere with some chemotherapy medications. Always ask your oncologist before taking any herb or supplement, including alpha-lipoic acid.
