Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 [hsibaltmore.com] In yesterday's e-Alert I told you about the surprising revelation from the FDA that there is no evidence that Procrit reduces fatigue or increases energy for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation. So what's a cancer patient to do? In two different e-Alerts this year I looked at a couple of non-drug treatments that have been shown to improve vitality and muscle strength in cancer patients: ginseng and L-carnitine (an amino acid produced in the kidneys and liver).

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2007 Report Share Posted December 27, 2007 Ah yes.... Procrit. Just yesterday I as talking about this gold laced shot and I say this because it costs over $1,000 per shot, and i could not think of the name. Probably blocked it from my memory. My mother was on procrit the last year of her life and I can personally identify with this article. It did nothing except give us a false hope that she might feel better. As far as I know she did not have cancer. Although I suspected Lukemia, I was assured that was no the case. He condition was that the bone marrow was not making the proper blood. oleander soup , robert-blau wrote: > > [hsibaltmore.com] > > In yesterday's e-Alert I told you about the surprising revelation from > the FDA that there is no evidence that Procrit reduces fatigue or > increases energy for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy or > radiation.
