| methyl compounds by causing a deficiency of methionine, choline, and vitamin B 12. 35 |
| I usually recommend Hydroxy Folate, a liquid B 12 and folic add solution made by Scientific Botanicals (see Resources), in doses of 2 to 4 drops orally once a day for patients using methotrexate. Each drop contains 200 mcg of B 12 and folic acid. |
| In a recent study, folic acid, along with vitamin B 12 supplementation, reduced cellular atypia squamous metaplasia in heavy smokers.36 Recent evidence also suggests that folic add and derivatives contribute to the protective effect of fruits and vegetables against the risk of large bowel cancers.37 |
| Vitamin B 12 and folic acid offer significant help in many areas of distress that plague cancer patients, such as anemia, fatigue, neuropathy and other nerve damage, liver weakness, and digestion. Vitamin B 12 is required for the production of hydrochloric acid, which in turn is needed for protein digestion, and both supplements improve appetite and help with sleep disturbances. |
| I often recommend Folirinse, a liquid folio acid supplement also made by Scientific Botanicals, for cervical dysplasia. I have found it extremely effective at reversing this precancerous condition. Each drop of Folirinse contains 5 mg of folic acid. I usually recommend 1 to 2 drops daily until there has been a reversal of the dysplasia and a normal Pap smear. Thereafter, I recommend a lower dose (1 to 2 mg daily) as a prophylactic measure. Any dose over 800 mcg requires a doctor's prescription. |
| Calcium |
| I usually recommend calcium orotate for cancer patients with bone metastases. Calcium orotate is far superior to any other form of calcium in recalcifying bone that has been lost because of metastatic cancer. Along with vitamin K 1, it also helps to diminish pain. A new drug called Aredia (or pamadronate) also appears to be very promising for recalcifying bone and reducing pain due to bone cancer. I have recommended Aredia therapy to many of my clients who have bone metastasis. It has been been nothing short of miraculous for that condition when taken along with other treatments I recommend. |
| Calcium is under active clinical study in colon carcinogenesis. Studies suggest that dietary calcium significantly reduces the incidence of colon cancer in animals. by significantly reducing hyperproliferation in colonic epithelium |
