If you think you are getting better advice at Kaiser from a doctor following AMA protocol knock yourself out. IMO, diet matters. Supplements matter. Exercise matters. Treatments matter. It's so weird that this is the only place I go where people think it doesn't. IMO diet is king. To each their own though.

If you think an industry that uses blood boys and team physicians (whose best interests are almost always in contrast with the patient's) are bastions of expert medical advice then it's no wonder you're as misinformed as you are.

Supplements make almost no difference based solely upon their very low bioavailability. If you can get it from diet, then eat it; otherwise, you're just stressing your kidneys and liver for very very little gain.

The vitamin C myth is based entirely upon the mistakes of Linus Pauling, and repeated studies have shown no benefit. In fact, supplementation is an indicator of increased mortality in some cases (B12, for example). The body needs oxidative stress during cancer treatment because it is that stress that aids in lipid peroxidation and increased death of malignant cells.
