Transcript
Empowher Asks: What can women do, during chemotherapy or radiation treatments, to decrease their cancer risks? Dr. Marianne Marchese: If a patient is currently undergoing conventional oncology care, such as chemotherapy or radiation, and for example, they come to see me for an environmental medicine consult, what I do is I take an in-depth environmental history to find out what they have been exposed to. I can do some testing to see, again, what chemicals are stored in their body and how well their liver is clearing them out, but I don’t start the patient on any type of removal of toxins from the body while they are undergoing chemotherapy or radiation because you don’t want to increase the clearance or the efficacy of the chemo in the radiation, and that can happen when you’re clearing toxins from the body.
