Boswellia during radiation

Hi Stephen/others,

Do you think it is a bad idea to use Boswellia during radiation? -  A week ago I started Boswellia Serrata Extract (Wokvel) 333mg three times a day after having a seizure on radiation day #11 out of 30 sessions.  There is the thought that the radiation and Temodar 180mg daily are causing some edema.   I have started taking keppra 500mg in AM and 750mg in PM.  I am not on any steroids(dexamethasone).  I have been told that research has shown signs of Boswellia having pretty strong antioxidant properties-  but I do not have the source(s) for that thought.  So now I am concerned that Boswellia may not be great to take right now if it could interfere with the radiation treatments? 

Also, I don’t know if I should actively pursue changing to Valproic Acid to capture any potential benefits it could have as a radio-sensitizer?  Any opinion?

Thanks,
Mike

Can I get the link to following:
1. TMZ adjuvants
2. Drugs/Off-label/ Supplements for IDH1 Mutation glioma 

New cocktail - feedback much appreciated

Hello everyone.  This website is amazing and I wish I had found it sooner.  My brother who is 46 has GBM, grade IV, IDH-1 wild type, MGMT unmethylated.  No other genetic data currently.  He has finished his first six weeks of radiotherapy and TMZ and is now in a 4 week break until starting monthly TMZ again.  We are in the UK and he is on the current ipilimumab clinical trial that is running. 

 

We have put together the cocktail listed below from information we have read.  I would be really grateful for any feedback anyone has on this.  In particular, is there anything missing and do the doses sound high enough - I am wondering if the curcumin should be higher for example.  Also, we have not included Boswellia currently  - is Boswellia something that should be included irrespective of steroid use?

 

The below list is all non-prescription.  Being in the UK, it seems to be difficult to get off label stuff prescribed.  It would be great to hear from anyone who has managed this in the UK.  I would be interested to hear from anyone that has been able to get e.g. Tamoxifen or Antabuse prescribed.
