Fifty human studies, involving 8,521 patients, 5,081 of whom were given food supplement nutrients, have consistently shown that non-prescription antioxidants and other nutrients: Do not interfere with cancer therapeutic modalities; Can enhance cancer therapy killing capabilities; Decrease cancer therapy side effects; Protect normal tissues from cancer therapy, and Prolong lifespan in 15 studies for 3,738 patients
Inflammation caused by certain foods, drink, lifestyle, or chronic illnesses can cause anemia. Intense exercise causes inflammation which in turn can cause anemia in athletes.
