Can Pau D Arco And Selenium With CoQ10 Be Taken While On Alimta?

If you are on Alimta chemotherapy, is it ok to take pau d arch, selenium with co q 10, garlic pills, shiitake mushroom 600mg, this s for adenocarcinoma. Oncologist says scientists don t know but I feel these are good cancer fighters. I just don t want to interfere with chemo. Also only take them a week after an infusion. He is taking turmeric now. I just need your general opinion. Thank you

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

In my opinion, these fancy drugs wont do much. Religiously follow your chemotherapy and a healthy diet. That is more than enough.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks and regards.
