This is my disease fighting arsenal!

Over the past two years I've spent considerable time learning about nutrition and how it can help me fight cancer.  Below you will find my suggestions for getting started, but with any change in diet, check with your doctor before taking new supplements.  Some supplements may interact with drugs that you are already taking--be cautious. 

The supplements included on this page are the supplements that I take regularly--they are the ones that I have found the most research to support their use for fighting disease and fighting cancer.  I will include a very brief explanation by each as to why I selected it for my own regimen.  If you would like further explanation, check out my Juicy Blog where I discuss current research regarding this topic and others...  If you decide to try a few, or all, you can click on the picture and it will take you to vitamin world, where you can make an order easily online.  I am an affiliate for vitamin world, so I do make a small percentage of any sales that are referred from this site.  Any referrals will help me to keep this blog running and are greatly appreciated.  Thank you!
