There are three big problems with chemotherapy:

1. Chemotherapy does not differentiate between healthy cells and cancer cells. It destroys them both.

2. Chemotherapy has significant side effects that are sometimes worse than cancer. 

3. Chemotherapy weakens the immune system, which could cause cancer to come back. It also lowers recovery. 


Chemo side effects:

 • Fatigue

 • Hairloss 

 • Bruising

 • Infection

 • Anemia

 • Nausea

 • Vomiting

 • Loss of appetite

 • Diarrhea

 • Reactivation of viruses

 • Weight loss (loss of muscle)

 • Mood changes


What you can do to minimize the chemo side effects if you choose chemotherapy as your cancer treatment:

1. Strategy - Staving cancer cells

 • Lower carbs (Keto)

 • Reducing glutamate (Intermittent fasting)

2. Decrease inflammation

 • Take high amounts of vitamin D

 • Do intermittent fasting

3. The most effective and most powerful chemoprotective polyphenol is EGCG

 • Take green tea

4. Chlorophyll 

 • Take chlorophyll in the form of wheatgrass juice powder

5. Cruciferous vegetables  


An alternative cancer therapy that would be good for you to research is called insulin potentiation therapy.
