Nutritional therapies have been proven safe and do not interfere with conventional cancer therapies like surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. In fact, nutritional therapies have been consistently reported to impart a beneficiary effect to conventional therapies, to work in synergy with conventional therapies in addition to being synergistic with other nutritional therapies!
“Fucoidan, a natural component of brown seaweed, has anti-cancer activity against various cancer types by targeting key apoptotic molecules. It also has beneficial effects as it can protect against toxicity associated with chemotherapeutic agents and radiation. Thus the synergistic effect of fucoidan with current anti-cancer agents is of considerable interest.”

“These effects were significant in both the cell lines, indicating the ability of curcumin to increase the sensitivity of RB cells to chemotherapy drugs. Conclusion: Our in vitro findings showed that the combination of curcumin with single drug treatment showed marked synergistic inhibitory effect against RB (retinoblastoma) cell lines.”
