I'm with Brian. Here is an excerpt from the Lance Armstrong Foundation's review of the book, the article can be read here http://www.livestrong.com/article/316679-clean-liquid-diet/

"Considerations
Detox diets can result in negative side effects, including a temporary worsening of symptoms. Consult a medical professional before making any major changes to your diet or lifestyle, especially if you are currently taking any medications. Some supplements can interact with certain medications. Junger does not recommend the Clean program if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or in the advanced stages of a serious illness."

I "think" cancer is a serious illness and going through radiation may constitute "advance stage". And since it looks like you'll be going through chemo, definitely talk to your MO before you start ANY supplements.

Here is also a link to WebMD's take on liquid diets...pay attention to the comment about the "cleansing" diets.

Now from what I've read, Gwyneth Paltrow uses or has used this diet and also has experience with Oral Cancer (Paltrow Foundation) but I'm not sure she'd recommend it for someone going through rads. Radiation was hard for most of us that had to do it, trust me when I say the only thing I was thinking about was making sure my body had enough fuel (calories) to help deal with the experience and recover from it.


Anyway, those are my thoughts. Ask your MO before making any decision though.
