Focus: Tell us about how you use glycophospholipids as ad- junctive therapy for fatigue in cancer patients.


RS: Fatigue due to chemother- apy is a commonplace com- plaint. I started suggesting pa- tients use glycophospholipids about eight or nine years ago. Apparently it was a bit of a well- kept secret among patients who were purchasing it online and using it pretty religiously. I’d never heard of it until I learned of a few patients using it. And really, to a person, everyone no- ticed improvement in fatigue. I


began to suggest it to patients complaining of fatigue from treatment. And I noticed that not only did they feel better, but anecdotally, they seemed to tolerate the chemotherapy well. I obviously never did a double-blind study, but I can say that generally they seem to recover quicker in between chemotherapy treatments and to feel better overall. They have an improved sense of well be- ing. In addition, their bone marrow counts do not seem to drop as severely as one might expect. I’d rather not inject the drug Procrit for myleosuppres-

Focus: How long have you been working with glycophos- pholipids?


SR: I’ve worked with them ex- tensively for about five years. The reason I like them is be- cause they are one of the few things that actually help repair tissue, and especially repairs


mitochondrial function within the cell itself. There are a lot of things I can do as a doctor, but all the vitamins and miner- als won’t help unless we’ve re- paired tissue on a basic cellular level like this. I use glycophos- pholipids in conjunction with other supplements and find it very, very effective.


It is a good way to increase energy without using stimu- lants like caffeine or tonics. It is actually acting on damaged cell walls.


Focus: Are there any specific conditions for which you find it particularly helpful?


SR: Yes. I use it on a lot of my For more information call 800-545-9960 11


sion (low red blood cell count) since that has its own litany of complications. Certainly using a natural supplement is prefer- able when possible.


Focus: Do glycophospholip- ids interfere in any way with chemotherapy treatments?


RS: There is nothing in the product that interferes with what I’m giving patients. I regard myself as open to the product. I don’t push it on my patients, but when they complain of fatigue or other effects from chemotherapy, I do recommend it.
