The field of oncology has created the faulty notion that individuals undergoing cancer treatment should avoid vitamins. Such propaganda not only creates confusion, it causes real health damage. A new study with rats showed a profound ability of basic vitamins and minerals to offset cancer. “This study is important because it gives some direction to cancer patients in desperate need of guidance on the value of multivitamins and minerals administered during cancer,” commented Dr. Grant Pierce, Editor of CJPP.
The study exposed rats to a colon-cancer carcinogen for 15 consecutive weeks. The rats given a multivitamin and mineral supplements had dramatically better antioxidant status and much less free radical damage that leads to cancer. The amount of colon tissue damage in the pre-cancerous condition was reduced by 84% in those given vitamins.
Basic vitamins and minerals are crucial to the function of enery, immune, and antioxidant systems in the human body and should be regularly consumed for general health purposes.
The authors conclude that “multivitamin and mineral supplements synergistically contribute to the cancer chemopreventative potential, and hence, regular supplements of multivitamins and minerals could reduce the risk of colon cancer.”
