Nutrition, supplements and cancer

Nutrition is not the cure for cancer – but ….

Nutrition cannot eliminate your cancer; neither is homeopathy an alternative to proper chemotherapy. The Bristol Cancer Help Centre Scandal in the 1990's made that clear to the whole UK. [1]

BUT if you DO have a cancer diagnosis or as in my case, your spouse has, or a close family relative is affected, then naturally you are asking – "Does anything we do at home make a difference?"

Supernutrition #6: Anti-inflammaging Supplements

The story of super-supplements – truth or fiction?

Although my usual nutritional message is “optimum diet, no need for additives or multivitamin preparations” and nobody needs extra vitamin C if they eat fruit and vegetables… as far as anti-ageing is concerned, to get potent anti inflammaging activity you need a supplement.

For example, to reach the recommended daily intake of 800-1000mg of quercetin takes more onions, coffee, dill etc than any of us want to consume. Similarly, curcumin (the potent anti-inflammatory agent in turmeric) is very poorly absorbed from food and only a supplement will make any impact [and avoid a very yellow mess in your kitchen].
