Relapse Cocktail

Building Vitamin, Herb & Mineral Supplement Coctails.

This anti-cancer cocktail was built in September 2005 to address a serious ongoing relapse of fNHL. It is reprinted to help the reader understand the cocktail building process. If I were building one today it would be somewhat different.

Original Cocktail (1990 – 2005) Modified Cocktail 9/01/05
6000 mg Vitamin C  (avoid
time release)
400 i.u. Vitamin E (natural alpha-topherol)
25,000 i.u. Vitamin A as Beta Carotene
250 mcg Chromium Picolinate
200 mcg Selenium
400 mg Magnesium
50 mg Zinc
1 Daily Multi-Vitamin / Mineral Tablet
*360 mg Saw Palmetto added last 5 yearsI began this “vitamin cocktail” following the conclusion of chemotherapy in 1990.  The “cocktail” is based on numerous books and articles on anti-oxidants, cancer and the immune system. I personally credit this “cocktail” with being one factor that allowed me to best doctor’s predictions by more than 10 years.

I urge you, do your own research.  If you decide a vitamin/supplement regimen would be helpful design your own. 

I religiously followed the regimen above for 14 years plus with no ill effects.  I should add that I was exercising at a moderate or higher level.

Following successfully overcoming this 2004 – 2005 relapse with help of the cocktail in the right column I put together a maintainence supplement cocktail to assist me in remaining in remission. The following page details that maintenance cocktail.
