Well, I certainly think it’s worth a look. I’m a bit wary of PhytoCeutica’s own research (they do, after all, have a vested interest in proving the drug works), but if the compound proves effective in clinical trials, I’m all for it. Chemo is a nasty business, and if there is something that can safely mitigate or reverse the side effects, great!

YMMV.
Many of these treatments should not be ignored. They often do work more than placebo trials.
Ther can be no harm in science by trying to find out why exactly it can works and why often it doesn’t.
Pure science can’t discredit or awknoledgle without ego, so I think it’s a good idea to test and work on these treatments *when* plausible.

FReepmail me if you want on or off my health and science ping list.
P.S. The "1,800-year-old herbal mix" article was interesting from stem cell and immunologic points of views so I pinged you guys and gals too.
Or they could simply use Avemar and not need to use chemo at all.
