To warn people to not use antioxidants during chemotherapy because of the mechanism involved (which is what the only

this issue I can find says) is like warning people to not take
anti-
oxidants when they are sick because it might interfere with

immune systems.
The mechanism is the process by which the drug works, so It's
pretty
important.
It's also the mechanism by which our OWN immune system works.
Secondly, is there any evidence that cancer cells "hoard"
anything
due to taking amrit kalash?
Ask the MAPI people--I doubt they've done research on it though.
Finally, is there any research showing that taking sane levels
of
antioxidants during chemotherapy has any detrimental effect at
all?
I guess it would depend on what you mean by "sane". It's also
going
to depend on what type of chemotherapy you're having and what
type
of
tumor you have. Bottom line: ask your oncologist if it is OK to
take
a powerful free-radical scavenger during treatment.
OK, how about ANY RESEARCH AT ALL on humans or even animals?
Yeah it's out there no doubt as these recommendations have been in effect for a while. Originally it was for people who liked to megadose with vit. c. Now that there are plant antioxidants out
there
that are extremely powerful you'll begin to see warnings on these
as
well (e.g. grape seed extract, pycnogenol). I know in a recent
trial
I was involved in, these were all parts of the study design.
To see if there was an effect, or to try to eliminate a theoretical effect that hadn't been documented?
To maximize the number of people who would go into remission.
