Which supplements help reduce the risk of colorectal cancer?

I am a colon cancer recovered person and cancer free for five years. I avoided chemo / radio therapy for my stage III cancer. I am regularly taking only food supplements for the past five years after my colorectomy surgery. My regular supplements are: curcumin, Ginger, omega 3, (Budwigs diet), D3, selenium, coQ10, spanish saffron, green tea extract (stopped for the past one year) apart from regular intake of fruits like pomegranate, papaya, greens like, broccoli, other cruciferaces, I am normal at the age of 65. hope my experience may help to other cancer patients.

Thanks for sharing, SUBBIAH6915. I also think chemo really hurts our body. Of course sometimes we still need the surgery to save our lives. But the most important thing is how to stimulate our immune system. I'd rather some natural therapies (such as Gerson therapy) than chemo.

By the way, could you let me know how many doses of curcumins do you take daily?

I usually take high doses of Vit C (8-10g), Mg (800mg), D3 (4000-7000IU), K2 (60-150mcg), B-complex, and probiotics daily. I'm going to try curcumins and hope it will benefit my health too.

Ps. If I take D3 7000IU, then K2 would be 150mcg. If D3 4000IU-5000IU, than K2 would be 60-75mcg.

Hello.

I take 1g of Vit C per hour. The biological half-life of vitamin C is about 30 mins.

I have a Vit D deficiency, some feminine health and immune system issues, so that all consumption of vitamins within my body would be larger than health people. (Some doctors even would let their patients take Vit C by injection to relieve their cancer pain. The dosage is usually 30-50g or higher. And it is legal.)

If someone need to take high doses of Vit C, then he/she needs Mg to balance blood sugar levels (Mg plus Ca is also ok but Mg is more important.)

Please note:
When women have feminine health issues like endometriosis, that means they have estrogen dominance. Mg levels fluctuate during a woman's cycle. The higher the estrogen, the lower the Mg. Also, Vit D needs Mg (and Vit K) to work together.

The dosage of RDA is for health people not for someone who is suffering illness especially cancer. That's why we need to take so high doses of vitamins.

Actually I really feel better after taking these doses. And my ovarian cysts, uterine fibroids, and lymph nodes behind ear are getting smaller and smaller. I did not get colds from starting to take these doses of supplements. (I did not take any medicine anymore during these years, except of these supplements.)

Thank you for sharing that.

Get the book AntiCancer by dr david schreiber, great tips

Thank you for sharing this valuable info.

I used to take cofq10 and selenium until I came across research that indicated that it could be counterproductive. I am not taking dairy and so stopped Budwigs diet. I am taking vitamin d3, k2, curcumin, alpha lipoic acid, bromelain, ldn( low dose Natroxene),dairy free diet, sugar free diet, low carbohydrate diet, wheat free diet, mushroom extract supplement, vitamin B complex, vitamin C, salvestol, probiotics (progreens), ashwangdha, Amla, Boswellia Extract, low dose aspirin, simvastatin, low dose metformin, tagamet. avemar, i am not sure what works but i have had colon cancer followed by liver tumors but have been cancer free for three years.

Some people have personal experiences and beliefs, but discussing megadoses is not a good guide for most people. ConsumerLab might consider removing such posts.

Tell that to Linus Pauling, nobel award winner who rec. megadoses of vit c for healing.
