Why chemotherapy and radiation patients should take vitamins

You may have heard that cancer patients shouldn't take vitamins. This is the conventional way of thinking in cancer treatment today. But is it the right way to think?

Most doctors would say yes. In fact, I recently had a patient who developed breast cancer.

A few years ago I reported on an unusual cure for a toxin-induced form of Parkinson's disease. The mineral manganese, like its cousin iron, is toxic when in excess. It can accumulate in key neurons.

What's interesting is that manganese workers can get symptoms identical to Parkinson's.
