Thank you!
Very good information here!
Some of the people did not have MS-Word so I am re-posting for those.

Tony's Tidbits: Radiation Therapy
The use of gamma rays or x-rays to destroy dysfunctional tissue is called radiation therapy. This is a somewhat extreme measure since the very effect of these rays is to cause the growth of new malignancies. Modern technology has made accurate, controlled radiation less damaging, but not completely safe. For instance, gamma radiation is commonly used in treating bladder cancer somewhat effectively, but never-the-less, with a recurrence rate of 76%. To reduce this rate, chemotherapeutic agents are frequently used concurrently. But medical people are carefully taught to ignore the many positive effects of using nutrients and antioxidants to reduce dose requirements of medical agents. Many studies show that nutrients can decrease the damaging effects of these agents.
In the use of radiation the negative effects frequently noted include: hemorrhaging, damage to gut villi and digestive systems, lipid peroxidation of the bone marrow, atrophy of the spleen and thymus, reduced white blood cell counts, reduction in T-cell counts, muscle wasting and fibrosis, respiratory problems, skin problems and infertility in males.
Effective nutrients in reducing toxic effects during radiation therapy are as follows:
L- glutamine – 5 to 15 grams, b.i.d. on empty stomach
NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) – 600 mg sustained release, one to 4 times daily
Whey protein and colostrum
Vitamin A – 50000 IU b.i.d. with 1000 IU Vitamin D
Vitamin C – 1000 mg of ascorbate or lipid form b.i.d. with bioflavanoids
Lipoic acid - reduces oxidative damage to cells neighboring the radiated cells
Rutin – 500 mg at same time as vitamin C
Vitamin E – 1000 IU mixed tocopherols or 400IU of tocopherol-tocotrienol mix
Taurine – 1000 IU b.i.d.
Beta 1, 3 Glucan – 75mg b.i.d. (Biopolymer brand) on empty stomach
Natural Beta Carotene – 25000 IU/day
Protease enzyme or Bromelain – b.i.d. on empty stomach
Melatonin – 20mg before bedtime
Selenium – 200mg b.i.d. minimum
Thymic protein A – according to manufacturer's protocol
POA Cat's claw (TOA-free)
Reishi mushroom, Green tea, Spirulina, Chlorella, Miso, Ginkgo, Ginsengs
EFA/DHA and/or shark oils – one gel b.i.d.
B-complex – 50 mg every six hours
Potassium Magnesium aspartate – twice daily as tolerated by bowels
Shark Oil (Alkylglycerols) – twice daily
Iodine - protects the thyroid
Zinc - 20 to 50 mg as monomethionine, picolinate or aspartate
Avoid unfermented or genetically modified soy products.
