AHCC

0 Recommendations

Has anyone ever used AHCC as a treatment option for lessoning the effects of nausea? I've read a bit about it but am not sure whether it's another one of those "cure-alls" or if it actually works. Any information/suggestions would help. My dad is starting his first round of chemo on Tuesday and I just want to do anything I can to help him get through the side-effects. Thanks so much!

Here is a link to "Ernie's Story". Ernie is a lung cancer survivor (and member of this board) who takes many evidence-based supplements, including AHCC. He uses it for cancer prevention & treatment as well as chemotherapy side effects. Ernie is very knowledgeable and generous with his time and information. When you follow this link you will see his story, the supplements he uses, and contact information.

I don't know how to make this link work so you will have to copy & paste it into your browser window.

Do a search on this site for "Astragalus". There is a link to an article submitted by a member (Hank) that you may find interesting.

Good luck to you & your Dad.
