Jose DC Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Greetings from Lima - Peru and thank you for your prompt replies. My brother will be undergoing chemotherapy and I would like to know of any recommended nutrients/natural products that may help overcome the effects of the treatment. Thanks again, Jose DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 I know that being well hydrated is very important. So have your brother drink lots of water before, during, and after chemotherapy. That will hopefully lessen some of the nausea and dry skin than can result. If he does not feel up to eating, nutrient rich milkshakes can be key. Ensure is one brand, but there are others. Good luck. I am sure people with more info than me will be along soon. Curtis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karenl Posted October 28, 2004 Share Posted October 28, 2004 Hi Please visit the alternative and complementary therapy forum. You should find information there relating to alleviating side-effects. You could also try a search using the Search icon at the top of the page. My Mum is taking lots of anti-oxidants and has had very little in the way of side effects from chemo. I wish you all the best. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
