Astragalus- A Chinese herb known to boost the immune system and increase white blood cell count; can be bought over the counter at any health food store
New Chapter Maitake Mushroom Extract- Boosts immunity and causes cell suicide in cancer cells
Miso- Fermented soy product that can be sauteed into stir-fry's or made into soups is said to cut breast cancer risk up to 50%; great for cancer patients as well especially when combined with seaweed
Seaweed- Said to inhibit tumor growth and helps to detoxify the body; should definitely be used in conjunction with chemo and radiation to help draw the toxic effects of the treatment out of the body

WARNING: If you are undergoing chemotherapy that includes the drug Taxol it is best to avoid soy
products as they can interfere with the treatment.

*The FDA requires me to tell you to seek medical advice before beginning these safe supplements.
