PrC Supplements

Note that this post will be changing frequently. As I make new “discoveries” I incorporate and modify accordingly. And as new evidence emerges and a substance goes up in evidence ranking or down I either add it or decrease or adjust the dose. And when a substance moves into the “lineup” another one might be “benched”. I want to reduce the risk of PrC mortality but want to reduce the possibility of side effects as much as I can. Also, I tend to cycle substances. There are two reasons for this. First, I think that PrC cells likely adapt to stressors (much as healthy cells adapt to a given stressor), and second, I like to give my liver and kidneys a break from substances that might have toxic side effects.

My evidence weighting is subjective (but the only way it could be objective is if we knew exactly what worked). Most of the sups are for cancer. The “Russ” column details ones that are specific to me and not necessarily for PrC.

Some of the supplements should be taken on an empty stomach to enhance absorption. But I’ve found that I have zero gastrointestinal distress if I take most everything with food. So rather than reduce the doses I take most of the stuff with food. There are some exceptions. Everyone is going to be different in how they handle it and how much is okay. So best thing is decide for yourself what is important and experiment with your own doses and resulting blood profiles, etc.

I try to take a little oil (olive or wheat germ or lecithin) and 5-20 mg of piperine with my curcumin. And I typically take the EGCG and drink a cup or so of tea when I take curcumin.
