I'm new to the "in treatment" boards. I posted to the newbies forum about a year ago, and then the recurrence forum back in October, but it's time to swing around to this area.

The topic I want to bring up is this honey diet I'm on. My RO recommends me swishing and swallowing 2 TBS of honey 15 minutes before treatment, 15 minutes after treatment, and right before bed. He says that in his research he has been able to prevent people from needing a feeding tube 9 times out of 10 by using the honey method.

This is all great, except I decided to continue the honey while nauseated from chemo last week and I now puke every time I even smell the stuff. We've been trying methods of diluting the honey, only swishing it, etc. to try to fix that issue and I'm making progress.

What I'd like to know, though, is if anyone else has had any experiences with using honey during treatment and how that's been.

Thanks!
