The majority of cancer patients use complementary therapies such as herbs and dietary supplements. Although figures differ, surveys indicate that as many as 60 percent of people with cancer take two or more dietary supplements daily.

Determining whether herbs, vitamins, and other over-the-counter dietary supplements would be helpful or harmful to you can be challenging. Will a substance work as the label states it will? Is it likely to interact with your cancer medicines? Is it worth the cost?

About Herbs

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Centers About Herbs database, a tool for the public as well as healthcare professionals, can help you figure out the value of using common herbs and other dietary supplements.

About Herbs App

The About Herbs mobile app provides you with comprehensive, objective information about herbs, botanicals, supplements, complementary therapies, and more.

Its important to tell your doctor or another qualified professional that you are using a dietary supplement. The reason for this is that an active ingredient in the product could interact with increase or lessen the effect of other medicines youre taking.

People undergoing treatment for cancer should not receive any dietary supplements unless theyre prescribed by a doctor or given as part of a clinical trial thats received Institutional Review Board approval.

The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not evaluate the safety and labeling of dietary supplements before they are sold. Also, the clinical effects of these products are often difficult to predict due to lack of human data. The potencies of herbal supplements are influenced by plants or plant parts used, harvesting and processing methods, and the amounts of active compounds absorbed. We encourage you to discuss any safety concerns with your doctor before using these products.

"What the Duck" has hit the streets in a collaboration project between the City of Middletown, the Downtown Business District, The Middlesex Chamber of Commerce, Middlesex Health Center, and the goPINK initiative.

Its decorated ducks all around Middletown," Ellie Gagnon, the co-founder of goPINK. "Theyre decorated by local businesses, individuals, schools, lots of participants.

Gagnon added that the money raised from the What the Duck project will support local cancer patients with things like integrative medicine.

Integrative medicine is a portion of treatment usually not covered by insurance, Gagnon said.

Director of Development at Middlesex Health Sarah Moore said, for a first try, they have been pleased with all that the duck project has brought.

We are overwhelmed by the 50 businesses who signed up to do 'What the Duck' and their creativity is shining. Its all to benefit cancer patients and to raise awareness during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Moore said.

Since its inception 13 years ago, goPINK estimates they have raised over $330,000 and helped around 1,800 cancer patients in the Middletown area. Moore said that What the Duck is just another way to add to that total.

Its just wonderful to see the outpouring of support and the enthusiasm to support our Cancer patients here at home, she said.

The goPINK fundraiser continues as does voting for your favorite What the Duck character, with voting ending on Oct. 28.
