Whaattt??

[quote]My mom asked her radiolgist about using the manuka honey and they said not to because its an antioxidant. is this true? I have read on this forum that many have use it and it helps, we are not sure what to do..

So is your radiologist suggesting she steer clear of fruit and vegetables too??? And cereals? And cups of tea? After all, they are also antioxidants. I dread to think what his opinion of berry juices are. I think your specialist has had a knee jerk reaction against something that sounds like a quack remedy without thinking it through.

And I do agree with Cheryl, supplements in the form of vitamin pills may not be such a good idea at this time as there is some suggestion that too much of a good thing actually WILL interfere with radiation
