THE MOSS REPORTS - CANCER DECISIONS NEWSLETTER
DOES RESVERATROL ENHANCE THE EFFECTS OF RADIATION THERAPY?
Cancer patients are frequently told by their oncologists not to take
antioxidants while undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy.
Supposedly, antioxidants counteract the beneficial free radicals that
are generated by conventional treatment, thereby interfering with its
effectiveness. A small number of scientists have argued the opposite,
suggesting that antioxidants do not generally interfere with cancer
treatment but, rather, enhance its effectiveness while sparing normal
cells from damage. It is one of the great dividing lines between
conventional and CAM-oriented practitioners.
Now some research from the University of Rochester has contradicted the
idea that antioxidants interfere and added credibility to the idea that
they enhance treatment effectiveness. [That is certainly reputed to be
the case with intravenous vitamin C -- RB]
