    IP-6
    My husband has been taking it for one month now. His CEA stopped rising first time in 3 months. Maybe it is IP6 or maybe it is just a fluke. Too early to tell.

    I started on some
    I started on some supplements and my CEA is down to .5 now, dropped from 1.5. I just bought this IP-6 etc. because of what I've seen on line about the research studies, sounded good so thought I'd give it a try. Just wondered what others experience was who have used it. Thanks for the reply :) What's his CEA??

    IP-6
    Copy from SK web sight:

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Clinical Summary
    A ubiquitous intracellular molecule present in mammalian cells and obtained from various dietary sources such as grains and legumes, Inositol hexaphosphate (IP6) is used to prevent and treat cancer and heart disease. Metabolites of IP6 enter the inositol phosphates pool, perform secondary messenger roles, extracellular signaling, and additional cellular signal transduction (1).
    Several published in vitro and animal studies suggest efficacy of IP6 in various cancer cell lines (1) (3) (4) (9) (10). A small study of breast cancer patients found that a combination of IP6 and inositol was useful in alleviating the side effects of chemotherapy and improved quality of life (11). Large scale studies are warranted to determine safety and efficacy in humans (7) (8).
    No adverse events have been reported. Theoretically, IP6 may interact with anticoagulants such as heparin, aspirin, or warfarin (2).
