There are separate pages on some Supplements. I have also changed a few supplements through the years. I used AI to check my supplements and I will add the ones AI said were good – back to what I take now!
Good
- Arabinoxylan Rice Bran in form of MGN-3 Biobran has shown enhancing immune function and may be synergistic with Curcumin
- Aspirin –low dose aspirin l – have a lower mortality rate in Multiple Myeloma
- Berberine has shown anti-cancer effects and inhibits the growth of Multiple Myeloma cells
- Beta1 3 D glucan has show immunomodulatory & anti-cancer effects in MM
- Black cumin seeds (Nigela Sativa) may inhibit the growth of tumor cells
- Curcumin may have benefit for Multiple Myeloma patients
- Vitamin D3 & K2 help improve outcomes for Multiple Myeloma patients and K2 seems to have anti-cancer effects
- EGCG, a compound found in green tea may have potential benefit for Multiple Myeloma patients by promoting apoptosis and overcoming drug resistance. (but do not take with Velcade)
- Quercetin has shown anticancer against Multiple Myeloma
- Reishi mushrooms may have benefit – they can induce cell death in Multiple Myeloma cells and enhance the immune response
- Wobenzyme may improve overall survival & prolong remission
- Zinc may help improve immune function in Multiple Myeloma patients, particularly after stem cell transplants by boosting T-cell recovery
AVOID
- Obesity
- Diabetes type 2 with high blood glucose
- Iron can stimulate the growth of Multiple Myeloma cells. High levels of iron in the body are associated with poor prognosis in Multiple Myeloma because Myeloma cells hold onto iron, which promotes their proliferation.
- Glutamate and Glutamine support growth of MM
- Asparagus has asparagine which can increase spread of MM or breast cancer
- Taurine promotes growth of some blood cancers
- Gadolinium based contrast agents used in MRI’s promote the growth of MM
- Hyaluronic acid in wrinkle cream stimulates proliferation and survival of MM cells – acting as an accelerant for the disease
- Some evidence that hair color is associated with developing MM
I try to eat a healthy diet with a variety of vegetables and do not take more than the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of any vitamin.
A great resource is www.consumerlab.com
It costs $64 per year for a subscription to consumerlab but is well worth it! – they do studies on vitamins (check for impurities and that vitamins have what they say they have) and the website provides links to studies – and the best articles on probiotics I have seen!
- organic green leafy vegetables- kale, spinach, romaine etc- I have every night with olive oil based dressing
- colorful vegetables like organic green & red bell peppers, red cabbage
- sulfur containing vegetables like broccoli, horseradish, cauliflower, onion, garlic
I am experimenting with a Multivitamin (Garden of Life Organics Women’s Once daily)- :
- folate – It seems to be fine to eat food with folate.
- Do not take iron or copper– those also stimulate my cancer – be careful not to use cast iron pans
- I avoid glutathione
- I avoid N acetyl-cysteine
- I avoid MSG products – glutamate feeds cancer cells there is a link with details
- avoid high dose B12 stimulates MM
- avoid Taurine – it stimulates Leukemia & Multiple Myeloma
For COVID spike protein take the following for at least 3 months:
- Nattokinase 2000 FU (100 mg) twice a day
- Bromelain 500 mg once a day
- Nano/Liposomal Curcumin 500 mg twice a day
Current supplements – 2025 I have a 7 day pill dispenser with 4 compartments per day and I fill it once a week and take the morning supplements in a snack baggie.

2. PROBIOTICS: every day I take at one of the following probiotics. I also try to eat sauerkraut and fermented vegetables every day
- Natren Healthy Trinity- Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Lactobacillus bulgaricus

3. I take Curcumin C3 with bioperine-2- 6 grams per day – in combinations of 500 mg & 1000mg
4. Black Cumin Seed (Nigella Sativa)- the seeds are less processed and I put about 1/2 tsp on my smoothie every day
Other Supplements that have been shown to have anticancer properties are:
- Resveratrol-
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16427027 Resveratrol may have potential as a novel therapeutic agent for the patients with B cell malignancies including multiple myeloma. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21723843 Resveratrol suppresses multiple myeloma MM http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17935668 Resveratrol may be a potential candidate for the treatment of multiple myeloma.
- IP6 – I have not tried this one but it chelates iron out of body. So, need to be sure you do not get anemic from overuse. If you take Curcumin, it also chelates iron out of body – so do not need both
