I was told. not to have kale as high antioxidants affect chemo. from working. Very confusing bc before chemo this is what I was juicing &;eating dark leafy greens.

Dietary antioxidants are likely to be safe. It is antioxidant supplements that we worry about more. Hope this is helpful.

Thanks for all your videos. I’ve just come across your channel. I’m about to restart chemo in a couple of weeks time. I’m hearing conflicting advice about raw fruit and vegetables. I love berries but how can I be sure they are clean enough when I’m immunocompromised?

People receiving chemotherapy were told many years ago that they should not eat raw fruits and vegetables. This recommendation is no longer made because it is not accurate. Washing produce is something we recommend for every person and this is sufficient for your safety.

Hi dr , My mother has stage 3 breast cancer & undergone 4 cycles of cyclophospamide , Which is said to have risk of causing blood cancer Can you tell any suggestions to avoid the risk pls 😢🙏

@yerbba Ай бұрын

For people with breast cancer treated with cyclophosphamide, the risk of leukemia is extremely low. There are no known prevention strategies at this time.

Some people have said they have felt well when they water fast before and after the chemo sessions. Is that good to have on fast as you bodies glucose level will be lowered and cancerous cells will be starved of their fuel?

@yerbba 15 күн бұрын

Cancer cells will get their energy any way they can. Short term fasting does not starve the cancer cells of their energy. Most people find that the nausea is worse if chemotherapy is given on an empty stomach.

Is it ok to drink organic kale or broccoli powder? While taking cdk inhibitor medication and letrezol? Thank you dr

In general, the less the food is processed by mankind, the better. Powders and shakes are processed forms of food. Trying to eat foods that haven't been processed is the best way to get nutrients naturally.

Dr. Griggs, is it safe to eat store bought corn chips. Is it considered processed food. I have stage 4 breast cancer and having chemotherapy for almost 2 years now.

@demesrvl6761 8 күн бұрын

@MaryNormanly store bought corn chips are a processed food.

@yerbba 3 күн бұрын

Regarding store-bought corn chips, moderation is key. While they can be considered processed food, enjoying them occasionally isn't likely to harm your health. Balancing them with a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains is beneficial, especially during chemotherapy.
