Information for Cancer Patients & Healthcare Providers

4CancerWellness only offers fully vetted and researched products, services and information, relying solely on evidence based medicine. 4CancerWellness strongly values randomized controlled trials and meta-analysis with observational research viewed with a skepticism given research bias.

We guarantee all products, services and information have been thoroughly vetted and follow the tightly regulated RAV policy (research and vetting policy), requiring approval by the RAV committee.

4CancerWellness is dedicated to individuals recently or in the past diagnosed with non-invasive or invasive cancer, as well as their caregivers involved in their care as well as individuals at risk of cancer. We appreciate most individuals who utilize 4CancerWellness are active or recent cancer patients. All offerings of 4CancerWellness must first meet the goal of helping cancer patients to feel or do better (improve outcomes) during or after cancer treatments.

A critical priority is only offering safe, holistic, all natural, necessary supplements to individuals undergoing cancer treatments, addressing both unique nutritional deficiencies of cancer patients as well mitigating toxicities and symptoms or experiencing fatigue from the diagnosis of cancer, current or past cancer treatments. The most important aspects of this policy is being honest to our mission and establishing trust by first patients and family; then cancer centers, their providers and staff.

All supplements and multivitamins have been formulated by our cancer experts and then required to follow the stringent RAV criteria before being approved by our RAV committee. All products offered by 4CancerWellness have been analyzed, requiring a comprehensive reference list of peer reviewed articles and research studies, addressing medication interaction that applies to all ingredients and cancer drug therapies. (see the most relevant references listed below as examples of few of articles and studies utilized in the formulation of our products)

The first product formulated was SafeVite, as daily multivitamin and was followed by a number of 4CancerWellness supplements that are holistic, all natural. We required these products to be affordable with evidence based ingredients supported by randomized controlled trial data. A very important mantra is to avoid any ingredient that is known to interfere with certain cancer treatments. It is best to avoid certain vitamins or supplements during radiation therapy or chemotherapy, while confirming these same vitamins have not confirmed cancer prevention or improved survivor even when not on cancer treatments. This same priorities extend to targeted treatments and likely immunotherapy where potential drug interference exists.

Certain references note specific vitamin deficiencies are unique to many cancer patients and that these deficiencies likely prevent or reduce the risk of some cancers as well as mitigate the side effects or certain cancer treatments. Conversely certain vitamin levels are elevated in some cancers, such as calcium in patients with bone metastasis or with increased PTH related protein, and therefore best to simply avoid in majority of cancer patients. On the other hand, when taking a bisphosphonate or RANK ligand, physicians and providers routinely prescribe calcium with vitamin D unless contraindicated. Certain vitamins address cancer treatment related toxicities such as bone fracture risk, nausea, energy and pain needs (to list a few examples to the many known treatment related toxicities).

The use of vitamins is extremely prevalent in our patient population and these patients expect that in addition to directing their cancer treatments and surgery, we should convey and offer what is most appropriate. Otherwise they are on their own when it comes to often expensive supplements and alternative choices. Fortunately 4CancerWellness recognized that cancer physicians, providers and nurses are often too busy to fully address these issues, but here at 4CancerWellness we have researched and vetted our products, requiring only affordable appropriate holistic and all natural vitamins and supplements. In addition we have concurrently developed a personalized wellness program that focuses on our 4 cornerstones of activity, nutrition, mindset and other support. We recognize our supplements are augmented by our Wellness Program and would suggest you consider this program to truly support your fight against cancer in a holistic manner, using our researched and vetted, evidence based offerings.

Furthermore, ongoing research studies of our supplements and vitamins is ongoing, including a clinical trial the focuses on optimization of our personalized Wellness Program. See below.
