My mom had breast cancer, did Chemo and Radiation then, but it has now spread to lungs, liver, spine, 7places. (Radiation cleared the ones in spine). She wants to know if by taking the Mannatech products, will the effectiveness of them be decreased by her continuing to take the following things she is already taking: vitamin D-400 units 3x/day, vitamin C-500mg 6x/day, vitamin E-400IU 3x/day, Selenium 100mcg-1x/day, Acidopholis-one/day, Beetroot-605mg 1x/day, Green tea extract-150mg-4x/day, Calcimate Plus 800mg-3x/day, Fish Oil 3x/day, and her Prescription of Aromasin 25mg-1x/day. She's been taking Centrum Silver vitamins, but will be replaced by Phytomatrix. In the list above, can anyone point out any possible problems with continuing these items and adding the Ambrotose, AO, Plus, and Phytomatrix? Thanks for your help.

Some other things she should take are Co Q 10 and shark cartilage they help to keep the cancer from being fed./ Also Essaic tea is better than green tea. I hope the green tea she ius taking is not commercial bottled like Lipton.

I have some sites I can add but I will have to add them later today or tomorrow.
The C is excellent for breast cancer but a certain type of C is best I think it is asorbic.C.

As a breast cancer survivor myself, I can testify that once the cancer has spread (metastified) in as many organs as your mother's has, the future is grim.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but everything she is taking is all good and well, but is not a cure. It may prolong her suffering, it may give her a better quality of life, but again is not a cure.

Has the doctor given her a time limit? How long she will live?

This is something that she will have to discuss with her doctor.

The members at this site are in no way able to tell you if these new meds will or will not work. We don't know her medical history, we don't know what stages of cancers she has had.

We are not doctors, I am the only RN that I know of on this site that can give solid info based on not only education, but experience. Many of these meds can cause other problems with liver, kidney, heart, etc.

Your best bet is to discuss this with her oncologist, not us.

Try Monavie. It's a juice with the main ingredient being the "Acaii" berry. Look it up and read about it. You'll be impressed. Monavie.com

God bless!
