As defined by herbalists, “Gentian can be considered the
perfect bitter herb to stimulate digestion in numerous ways.
The bitter compounds in Gentian stimulate the bitter taste
buds on the tongue. this sends a message to the brain to
increase bile from the liver, which emulsifies or digests fat. In
a lesser way, the bitter stimulation also sends a message to
increase hydrochloric acid from the stomach, which increases
protein digestion. In other words, bitters stimulate the body’s
ability to digest and therefore assimilate fat and protein. . .”

Omega-3 Supplements Before
Surgery Impart Better Immunity,
Less Inflammation
E
arlier studies found omega-3s helped
maintain body weight and muscle mass
during chemotherapy, but this study focused
on how omega-3s might protect against
chemo-toxicity.
In this study, 61 people undergoing
chemotherapy for esophageal cancer took a
nutritional supplement drink with 250 mg of
omega-3s or 900 mg of omega-3s.
Participants started taking the omega-3s three
days before chemotherapy through the 12th
day of treatment. Doctors administered the
liquid through a nasal tube when participants
were unable to drink.
After chemotherapy, the high-omega-3
group had less inflammation and fewer
ulcerations in the mouth; a common
complication of this type of treatment. The
high-omega-3 group also had severe diarrhea
half as often as the low-omega-3 group, and
doctors also found fewer abnormalities in
liver enzymes for those taking the high dose
of omega-3s.
(Reference: Nutrition Journal; January, 2017,
Vol. 33, 204-10)
Omega-3 Protect During
Chemotherapy
M
aybe doctors should rethink warning
patients to stop taking omega-3
nutritional supplements before surgery. In
fact, according to the following study, omega-
3 supplements may actually be beneficial.
The most common surgical treatment for
gastrointestinal cancer is to remove that part
of the intestine containing the tumor and
reconnect the remaining healthy tissue,
triggering an immune and inflammatory
response.
Doctors reviewed findings from nine
placebo-controlled studies involving 623
gastrointestinal surgeries where participants
took omega-3 nutritional supplements.
Compared to placebo, those taking omega-3s
had lower levels of two types of
inflammation: C-reactive protein and
interleukin-6. The omega-3 groups also had
higher levels of several immune white blood
cell types that recognize and attack bacteria,
viruses, and foreign tissue.
Doctors said it is best to start nutritional
support five to seven days before surgery and
continue after the procedure to help reduce
inflammation and protect the body from
infection.

The Willner Chemists web site is a valuable resource for information on nutritional supplements -
how to choose them, and how to use them.
. . . and remember to visit Don’s Blog @
There is considerable evidence that
certain types of nutritional and herbal
supplements adaptogenic herbs,
antioxidants, anti-inflammatory
nutrients alleviate the side effects and
toxicity inherent to many cancer
treatments. Doctor's are often
reluctant to recommend supplements
because they fear this may reduce the
effectiveness of the cancer treatment.
This may be misguided, and as studies
such as this one continue to
accumulate, perhaps things will
change.
