Despite Risks, Vitamins Popular With Cancer Patients-Tara Parker-Pope-WSJ

The link below is to Wall Street Journal medical writer Tara Parker-Pope's blog today about supplementation and cancer.  This issue is one of the most important and controversial issue debated in the cancer world.  This issue is timely as I just received several studies on the subject from Ralph Moss's organization concerdecisions.com. 

Dr. Moss conducts a thorough study of the topics and i've got 63 oages of studies to go through- i am posting this today because of Tara Parker-Pope's blog and to let members know that this topic is being studied and will be discussed in the sdi's and the blog eventually.  The main issues that I will be addressing are:

1) Does supplementation during chemo or radiation make the cancer stronger or weaker in any way? 

2)  Does supplementation during chemo/radiation help to protect the surrounding tissue? Is there any evidence that supplementation may help to minimize side effects from therapy?

Please post any other issues that I should try to address while studying these reports.  Thanks.  David
