Hyaluronic acid promotes CRC?

It is good to know of these studies.

Supplements

I took no supplements before my cancer diagnosis.  I don't know, maybe that was wrong.  Looking back is of little use to me.  There is reliable evidence that some supplements tend to help, and preliminary evidence about others.  I guess it comforts me to know that I am doing all that I can to combat the disease. 

My Vitamin D was low and usually they didn't test for that in a standard blood test so didn't find that out until after developing CRC.  I've heard that is one thing in common with CRC patients is a lot of them have low Vitamin D levels.  Was your level low also?  That is one vitamin that I've added to my daily supplements and usually have it tested every two years just to make sure it's near normal.

This is why I'm leery of taking suppliments or herbs, or minerals that make claims of beign wonderful- many times they have not been tested for long enough by peer review science to know what they might be causing as side effects- There are loads of wild claims on the net- and from companies pushign hteir own brands etc-- and peopel think "It's natural so it must be safe' but there's just a lot we don't know about many suppliments-

That's not to say all suppliments cause negative side effects- soem have indeed been studied forl ong perioods of time- and do have definate benifits- butmany have not- and peope pushign htem coudl be c ausing peopel to experience bad side effects without knowing it-

Thingsl iek Vitamin D though, we do know that low D is quite bad- I get really low- down around 8-9 in winter- suppsoed to be around 30 or so i guess- so I'm forced to take them from time to time- but like i gt loads of kidney stones, and everytime i take D- they really ramp up in numbers for soem reason- who knows what it's doing to my kidneys-

Thanks for that abstract on the acid- good info to know-

Everything gives you cancer

Every thing gives you cancer was a Joe Jackson song back in the day.  In fact, I have found very few of the supplements I take are implicated in cancer. The boron in the 3 part medicine, if I recall correctly, has an anti-cancer effect, and potasium and cartilidge are likely fine as well, so maybe you can gain the benefit without the hyaluroinc acid.   Things like MSM and Glucosamine may work as well.  Anti-inflamatory effects seem to be a common theme in supplements that help with cancer, so others may help with the arthritis as well.  Fenugreek is one of the less common ones that seems to help me.

It's good to know some of the ingredients are safe at least.  Thanks for the idea of taking those supplements separately.  No need to risk an increase of any cancer growths, since I am stage 4 it seems like I'll never be rid of it but sure don't want to help the tumors grow.

Ginger

Not to sound like a total supplement nut (but I guess I am), but I take a black ginger extract supplement as well as drinking some ginger root in tea.  The funny thing about all of this is that I will never know if any of this works until I am dead.  But it does make me feel better to try.

I haven't given up everything that is suggested, but I have started taking supplements.  Just trying to stay healthy as possible considering I have stage 4 cancer.  And it must be working so far, because my oncologists at the local cancer center and at Mayo Clinic tell me I am in "excellent health".  Funniest thing I've heard in years!  But I will take that as great news!  and will keep taking the supplements.  They must be at least partially responsible for my "good health" in spite of my terminal prognosis.
