(-)-Epicatechin's anti-proliferative effects in AML

[Jackedjack]

So I've Been in the hospital for the past three months and the cancer has spread to my bone marrow. Sparing you all the details, my doctor came in and recommend I take Epicatechin and vitamin C with etoposide as it has been proven to help with etoposides antileukaemic activity. Just thought I would share this info as I thought I was interesting and in case anybody on AM ever gets AML

Here's a study in case anybody wants to read

Wishing you the best man! Keep on fighting the good fight!

And thank you for the link.

As an aside, I thought (-)epi was NOT recommended for anyone with cancer due to its ability to promote angiogenesis (which can lead to increased blood supply to tumors etc).
