Like his article on treatments last year, it is well researched and thoughtful.
Amifostine gets the nod for radiotoxicity benefits, but has side effects of its own. Melatonin is a powerful antioxidant (AO) in its own right and is benficial whether having chemo or radio.
AO vitamins, A, C & E, did not fnd benefit in his research but there were other AO such as green tea that get a mention.
