    I started to take it till I read the albumin in it is a derivative of human blood. That just turned me off to it for now.

    I've had AC/taxol and then zeloda and then carboplatinum/taxotere, currently I'm not on anything except an herb called turmeric. Actually a spice, curcumin aka curry. Look on MD Anderson web site for write up on turmeric.
    I wasn't happy with by-product of human blood because what might that bring with it? Twenty years ago we did not know to check for AIDS or Hep C, what might we not know to check for today?
