Supplement Confusion - Advice on network marketing products

Ever since I was diagnosed with cancer last November, I've had a number of well meaning friends tell me about a number of "natural" supplements geared toward boosting the immune system, removing toxins from the body, etc, etc. Many of the products are sold through network marketing so I'm a bit cautious about jumping on the bandwagon. But I do want to do what is best for my body. So I was wondering if anyone out there has heard of or tried any of these products: JuicePlus supplements, Limu Moui (with Fucoidan), Waiora (with Zeolite), Xango (with Mangosteen), Vemma (with Mangosteen); also Cell-nique (super green drink sold at health food stores). I would love to hear your advice, experience, research on these. Thanks a bunch!!!!

My husband found one in Utah that we hired for both diet and supplements. It was expensive ($350) but she gave us a binder full of information with studies to back up the claims. It also included telephone consultations with her. With each treatment change, I would call her and she would advise us on which supplements were helpful and which might interfere with treatment. She would also recommend specific foods that complement the treatments. If anyone is interested in finding more about her (Dr.Jeanne Wallace), the website is www.nutritional-solutions.net

Now that I am going to Cancer Treatment Centers of America, I have free access to both naturopaths and dieticians and so I seldom call Dr. Wallace anymore. The interesting thing is the naturopath and dietician that I see both agreed with her recommendations.

I know this is not really what you were asking. If it is TMI then forgive me. I just wanted to share my opinion. I wish you the best in your quest for better health.; ▶ Reply to This
