Hi all,

I'm Emanuele and I have a high grade glioma. At the moment I'm doing Temozolomide 5 days a month plus COC Protocol and various supplements (curcumine, resveratrol, boswellia, EGCG, vitamin D and melatonin).

I'm quite confused about what tho take and what to stop during these 5 chemo days, as I have been reading that antioxidants, like most of the stuff I'm taking, are actually an obstacle to the oxidative action of temozolomide, but on other articles are saying that curcumin and resveratrol together are going to prolong the time of chemo effectiveness inside the cancer cell. 

I also recently bought from MSC formulas Honokiol and the Glutamine Inhibifour and would like to know if to stop these or not during the chemo days and when would be more effective to take? Dosage?

Daniel's approach about stopping certain supplements before chemo makes total sense to me and it is something I want to implement. 

 

Many thanks

Hi Emanuele, Honokiol, and Magnolol are definitely worth trying in high-grade gliomas. 

I have posted a case report on a recovery from glioblastoma and included possible alternative and adjacent therapies and supplements.

Yes. Make sure to take magnolol with the honokiol, they appear to work best when taken together.

Regarding dosage;

Magnolol and honokiol exert a synergistic anti-tumor effect through autophagy and apoptosis in human glioblastomas (xenograft mouse model, intraperitoneal injection of 20 mg/kg/day for 14 days) - Yu-Chen Cheng, Dueng-Yuan Hueng, Hua-Yin Huang, Jang-Yi Chen, and Ying Chen

Here's a dosage converter: https://dosecal.cftri.res.in/index.php

Note that in this study they administered the compounds via intraperitoneal injection, not orally. 

They used a 1:1 ratio for Honokiol: Magnolol so I'd follow the same ratio. Maybe start with 300mg each, if no negative side-effects manifest increase to 1 gram daily and titrate.

*see attached image, TMZ is temozolomide
