Nutrient supplements help fight cancer even though the FDA may not want you to make any health claims, particularly when you want to sell nutrition supplements.
Gang Wu at the University of Nevada reported on Nov.8 that Ron Pardini, biochemistry professor of the Nevada Agricultural Experiment Station, helped save his neighbor known as “D.H.” with terminal lung cancer, who was bound to die of the disease five years ago.
When the 78 year-old D.H. was diagnosed with lung cancer, his doctor told him he had only a few months to live. “But five years later, he is still alive, and has even gained a little weight,” Dr. Pardini said.
What saved D.H. is not the conventional chemotherapy and surgery, but a nutritional intervention – drastically increasing the intake of omega-3 fatty acids that are widely found in fish oil or golden algae oil.
