Hi all,

Can anyone recommend me some nutrition supplements for kidney cancer patients? I am flying back to my country and would like to buy some for my father before I leave. Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!

Currently I've bought the following: 

Ensure Nutrition Drink Powder, Vanilla Flavor, 14 oz Can (397 g)

Amazing Grass Organic Wheat Grass Powder, 60 Servings, 17-Ounce Container

GNC Preventive Nutrition Liver Health Formula

 

Are these good? Are there any other supplements doctors recommend to take?

    Diet & Supplements

    I have done quite a bit of extensive research in the area of proper nutrition, diet, and certain supplements.  In fact I have prepared a 65+ page .pdf document all about it.

    If you email me at: n.feldman@videopost.com I will be happy to send you a copy.

    However, I do not suggest using Ensure (at least not as a first choice).  It contains 18 grams of sugar with no fiber.  Instead, try using pure Whey protein for adding calories. Whey also has been shown to have tumor-fighting properties (in vitro).

    Also, I have not investigated either Wheat Grass or the GNC formula so I can't offer any opinions on them.

    Supplements and diet advice

    Hello Neil,

    I have just gone through a partial nephrectomy, this is the 2nd time I have had kidney cancer. I note that you mentioned a document you have prepared with information to help ensure you stay healthy.

    I wondered if I may purchase a copy from you as I am not sure what to do for the best.

    Look forward to hearing from you.

    Immunocal

    Any opinions, or have you tried this product? When I found out about my diagnosis (pre-operative) (03/29/2013), a friend purchased this for me, and it hasn't arrived yet.

    Diet & Supplements

    Hi Djinnie,

    My document is absolutely free and available to anyone who asks.  Just email me at: n.feldman@videopost.com so I can email it back to you (it is over 65 pages long as a .pdf file).

    It outlines the science and rationale behind what I call a "proper" diet and "appropriate" supplements for cancer sufferers (with special emphasis on metastatic renal cancer patients like myself).

    Even if you do not plan to follow what I am doing I believe you find lots of valuable information regarding the role of nutrition in helping to deal with this disease.

    Best wishes,
