Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Breast Cancer / January 2004IP6, Enzymes and chemo
Hello again, does anyone know if it's ok to take IP6 during chemo (taxotere)? I can't find anything on this. I have found research that indicates that enzymes are actually beneficial when taken alongside chemo, but does anyone have anything that says different? Many thanks. Love, Janet. xx Hi Jan, I don't know. The doctors didn't want me to take anything. Their stated purpose of chemotherapy, is to poison your body almost to death over & over, in order to kill off the cancer. If you do things to stay healthy during this time, then the chemotherapy might not work, in killing off enough cancer cells. ??? At this point, I don't know enough to determine the pluses & minuses of chemotherapy. Susan, Su_Texas my opinions Hello Susan, thankyou very much for your reply. I know a lot of things are very controversial during chemo and I won't enter in to anything before I've researched it fully. I have decided to continue with my antioxidant supplement regime which includes 7grams of vit C, during chemo. This too is controversial, but after weighing up the evidence for and against, the evidence seems to be stacked in favour of their use during chemo, whilst any ideas that they may be contraindicated are purely theoretical (with a couple of exceptions). However, I can't make my mind up about the IP6 and enzymes, due to a lack of research. Perhaps I'm not looking in the right places, but until I know more I'll leave them alone I think. Many thanks for your help and I'll let you know if I find anything. Love and best wishes. Janet. xx > However, I can't make my mind up about the IP6 and enzymes, due to a lack of > research.

Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6), also known as myo-inositol hexaphosphate and phytic acid, is a naturally occurring compound first identified in 1855. IP6 is found in substantial amounts in whole grains, cereals, legumes, nuts, and seeds, and is the primary energy source for the germinating plant. [] So I'd eat *real* (not grocery store processed) chow mein and chop suey :-) if I couldn't get enough of the above foods. J J, thankyou very much indeed for your help. Love, Janet. xx |
