All of these supplements for cancer were incredibly important after I choose to heal naturally from cancer, approaching it first with non-toxic methods using diet, lifestyle, and detoxification.
Beta-1, 3D Glucan
Beta Glucan served to help my immune system target cancer cells more efficiently by working to activate more receptor sites on your immune cells. This in a sense “super charges” your body’s immune response against cancer.
The Beta-1, 3D Glucan from Better Way Health has been extensively studied for many years and has shown to be more potent and effective than other beta glucans on the market. It is also made here in the U.S. and distributed locally here in Atlanta. I am on year 14 of taking Beta Glucan, and it is the only supplement that I still take daily from my original cancer protocol.
You can read much more about the science behind Beta Glucan HERE. I took 1 capsule of Beta Glucan per 50 pounds of body weight.
Purchase Beta Glucan HERE. You can use code ACM at checkout for 10% off your entire order. 🙂
Dr. David Williams Daily Advantage Vitamins
A well-made multivitamin with 83 essential vitamins and nutrients including fish oil and phytonutrients to help fill in the nutritional gaps. Affordable and complete. Take one packet, TWICE daily.
Purchase Daily Advantage HERE.
During seasons of pregnancy where I experienced nausea/ morning sickness I could not stomach all the capsules from the Daily Advantage. I switched to Garden of Life Prenatals when pregnant.
A great liquid multi-vitamin option with great taste is Liquid Health Multiple.
Ojibwa Essiac Tea
There is so much to learn about Essiac Tea that I wrote an entire article with videos on it HERE. In the early 1900’s, Nurse Rene Caisse was using the Essiac herb formula (that she obtained from observing the medical practices of the Ojibwa tribe) to heal very advanced cancer patient at her clinic in Canada. I used Essiac 2-3 times daily during my cancer and continue with seasonal Essiac “cleanses” in between pregnancy and nursing today.
Purchase pre-made liquid Essiac Tea (what I used at first) HERE.
Purchase Essiac to make at home (much more affordable and what I do now) HERE.
(A tip that I suggest is to buy the liquid version twice to make sure you are going to stick with the Essiac tea protocol. This is easier AND you can keep the glass bottles and caps to put your homemade Essiac in if you begin making your own!)
Vitamin D3 / K2
Higher Vitamin D levels equate to lower cancer incidence. This is being widely accepted in academia as more and more studies confirming this continue to be released. 40-60 ng/ml is the Vitamin D blood level where cancer preventative effects were found. You can obtain a Vitamin D blood test for about $100. My last test in September, 2022 showed a 53 ng/ml level. I require 10,000 iu daily to maintain my Vitamin D levels along with daily sun exposure, but it is generally recommended to take 5,000 iu daily to start. Individual response to Vitamin D supplementation varies.
Purchase the Vitamin D3/ K2 I use, HERE.
Probiotic + Magnesium Glycinate
The combination of these two helps with digestive health and nervous system relaxation. I take 1 capsule of Jarrow EPS in the morning and take the magnesium after dinner. The magnesium helps with daily bowel movements, sleep, and muscle relaxation. I take 400mg. The probiotic helps with more efficient digestion and it is shelf stable and more affordable than other probiotics. It also helps with frequent elimination of waste. We should all be aiming for 1-3 bowel movements a day. When I was diagnosed with cancer, I was only “going” every 3 days since my diet was so poor. Don’t be me. 😉
Purchase Jarrow EPS 5 Billion Probiotics HERE. (I would recommend starting with 5 billion)
Purchase Jarrow EPS 25 Billion Probiotics HERE (for extra strength)
Purchase Magnesium Glycinate HERE.
Vitamin C + Green Tea Extract
Drs. Matthias Rath and Linus Pauling’s research on Vitamin C found that when combined with green tea extract the metastasis of cancer cells was decreased by 30%. They also combined the amino acids l-lysine and l-proline. This is also a heart healthy combination to decrease heart inflammation. I took 2 capsules Hearts Plus + 1 green tea capsule THREE times daily.
Purchase Hearts Plus (Vitamin C + aminos) + Green Tea Extract HERE.
Green Supreme Barley Power
Primarily used to boost alkalinity levels in the body and increase fiber and greens intake. This was recommended as part of my original protocol recommended by Bill Henderson. It is high in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and amino acids. Grown on the family’s Pennsylvania grown barley farm. I took 6-7 tablets THREE times daily.
Purchase Green Supreme Barley Power HERE.
Astragalus
We added astragalus to my cancer protocol after reading several emerging studies on its effectiveness on reducing tumor bulk and activity. I took 1 dropper full, THREE times daily.
You can purchase astragalus HERE.
Dear Courtney, I thank you very much for your road-map, I too have diagnosed with lymphoma Cancer, 2 years ago, and Found Chris Wark, I have been on his protocol vegan diet ever since, ( I am 76 years ) then I found you, I too leave in GA, infect not to far from you, Duluth. I just returned from the Cancer conference in Jacksonville, My biggest frustration is finding a Functional Holistic Dr in the Atlanta area ( I go the City of Hope for check ups, now every 6 months) Not one Dr that came to the conference has practices in ATL. Would you be able to help me? I would rally love to meet you, i also not able to fined a group to connect. The Healingstong also don’t have anyone in theATL area, so it’s a bit frustrating.
Thanks , wishing you all the very best
Kind regards

Hi Stella! Hopefully you will see this! I have a lost here on my blog: https://www.anticancermom.com/atlanta-holistic-and-alternative-doctors/
Aloe Arborescens also cures cancer.
Hi Cortney,
Thank you for your work and for giving hope to cancer patients around the world!
My wife is suffering from Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage III and we are following alternative treatments.
1. Could you suggest some detoxification processes for better absorption of nutrients?
2. Since we are from India, we are not able to get hands-on “Dr. David Williams Daily Advantage Vitamins”. Could you please suggest an alternative to this?
Any other suggestions which might help her, please let me know.
We would be forever grateful to you!
Thanks!
Hi Cortney,
My wife, Ipsita, aged 3o years, is suffering from Classic Hodgkin’s Lymphoma Stage IIIB. We are from India.
1. Could you please recommend any natural approach to detoxify the body and absorb the nutrients more efficiently? I guess this is very important in order to get any positive results.
2. We are not getting the multivitamin ‘Dr. Williams’ Daily Advantage’ in India. Could you please suggest any alternative for the same?
Thank you..
Hola Cortney,
Thank you very much for share all what are you did and doing. My question is: I have metastases in my liver, can I take the flaxxoil? My cancer was found in my small intestine 13 years ago. Now the oncologist found small nodes in my lungs, tiroides and liver. Six years ago I had my third surgery and found four malignant tumors in my liver. I have never received chemotherapy or radiation, only receive an hormonal injection. Im trying to do all what you are doing. I lost 25 pounds I feel fine. Im waiting for my next blood test that is at the end of May.
Thank you again and God bless you.
Hi Rossy! Ultimately, only you and your doctor can decide what is right for you, but know that Dr. Budwig worked with cancer patients of all severity, many of whom were considered “terminal!”
Flor essence is what I used for my mini schnauzer who had lymphoma. He went into remission. I have known several people who used it with very positive results.
Your links to the vegan protein powder are no longer working. Could you please give us the name of it so that we may search for it. Also any links to the amounts of astragalus selenium and curcumin and green tea vote is the combo would be appreciated. Thank you for all you do!
I always use Sunwarrior vegan protein powder. 🙂 Garden of Life at times as well.
Do you have a specific protocol for inflammatory breast cancer (left) with metastasis to the distal head of the left clavicle?
If not, do you know someone that does?
Sincerely,
Dr. James Chappell

Hi Cortney.
What do you think of beta 1.3 glucan from algae entract and how does it compare? It is yeast free and made by Pure Synergy. I chose it because it is cheaper and taking it long term makes a difference.
My husband who has bladder cancer T1 high grade takes 3 tablespoon of cottage cheese and 3 tablespoon of flaxseed oil once a day. He does not like the taste. I also read of people who have taken 2 tbspn of FO and had results with bladder cancer.
I also read of others who stopped and the cancer came back with a vengeance and could not be tamed which made me hesitate about going on the budwig protocol.
Have you also heard of Joe Tippens a cancer survivor ?
Your thoughts on this wd be appreciated.
I have not heard of algae based BG. Transfer Point has been studied the most, so I trust it. I just know that Dr. Budwig STRESSED for her patients to stay on the protocol a minimum of 5 years. I stayed on for 7!
Hi Cortney!
I live in Australia and cannot source Daily Advantage (they do not deliver here) and Heart Plus/Green tea extract from the Health Co-op website Bill Henderson recommended in the book (as they have sold out and shutting down). I assume I can subsitute Daily Advantage with the other options you’ve mentioned, however I’m wondering if you know of an alternative to Heart Plus? I can easily get all the ingredients seperately from iherb but I’m not sure what cautions I should take. Thoughts?
Hmmm, yes I heard this and it’s such a bummer. I can’t imagine they will stop selling that supplement altogether. I will check with a few sources I know and will try to see if anyone is going to take over that particular product.
Hi Courtney, as you might be aware that ourhealthcoop has closed. They were selling Heart Plus and Green tea extract at very reasonable price. Whole idea of Bill’s protocol was to treat cancer cheaply. Based on your network do you know if there would be any alternatives to this who would be selling at similar prices? Dr Rath’s equivalent is 6-7 times costly. Please help. Do you use Bill’s protocol today at maintenance dosage level?
Hi Ambrose, we are still trying to find a good alternative. I’m so bummed about this, too! It’s a big deal!
Did you take selenium, magnesium, and vitamin C as separate capsules in addition to the Williams supplements? The Williams pack already has these in them. Do you recommend the extra dosage?
When I was still dealing with cancer I took additional supplements to the Daily Advantage. This isn’t professional advice, I just wanted to make sure I covered my bases. 😉
I’m curious about the supplements you take. I’m just starting Budwig. She was very much against supplements, as they can interfere with the efficacy of the protocol…particularly vitamin C. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant, which can protect the cancer from the oxidative stress created by the FOCC mixture. Were you advised to take the Vitamin C at a specific time? Thank you for the info!
At the time of my healing I had not heard this important piece of information about supplements and the FOCC! I actually didn’t learn about it until a few years ago. Perhaps it got lost in translation? I always waited about an hour before or after the FOCC to take any supplements. Maybe that helped for me? But I honestly didn’t know at the time and did take a ton of supplements, but usually with space from the FOCC.
3 years ago I was faced with a very aggressive cancer that completely filled the inside of my bladder. We were blessed with healing as we worked alongside of the urologist with multiple natural protocols over the course of 5 surgeries to remove tumors. Fueling your immune system with plant based nutrition is the answer to healing! I have been cancer free now for the past 2 years. 🙏 We did this without chemo or radiation and I continue flooding my body with massive amounts of high quality nutrition everyday! Our food supply is horrible anymore and I’ve found that you need hundreds of thousands of micronutrients from a wide variety of fruits , vegetables and berries everyday. I have also found an easy way to add this into your diet everyday that is backed by over 25 years of clinical research. I welcome you to read my story in hopes it may help you, a friend or a loved. Prayers up for you 🙏 – Brent

I have tried so many times to download your 25 recipes to no avail. Is there a cook book of yours I can buy
Hi Jenny, I emailed it to you. 🙂
I have been having the same problem I cannot downloaded can you perhaps email to me.
I emailed it to you, but if you want to so subscribe you’ll have to confirm that via the email you should have received. Check your spam folder as well. 🙂
Hi, you mentioned taking probiotics. What probiotics did you take for your gut health? Did you take any other supplements other than what you have listed?
Thanks and regards..
A good one to start with is Jarrow brand EPS. It is shelf stable and I have noticed a difference with it and used it during my pregnancies to ward off Strep B. Good value as well.
Did you take the Daily advantage which contains Vitamin D when you were doing a navarro clinic HCG test? The test states no vitamin D as it interferes with the test so I am thinking you took out the capsules that contained Vitamin D? Seems bad because I will be missing ALL the other vitamins. Thank you so much for your website and answering this critical question.
I did because at the time they didn’t advise against it. I think they advise not to take for only a few days ahead of time.
Which brand selenium did you use? Did you avoid Silica in your capsules?
I used NOW brand for a long time and have also used Thorne.
Is it true one must have all their amalgams out of their mouth before using Essiac tea? Thanks Carri
I’ve never heard that. Not sure.
I’m curious to know ALL of the supplements/pills you were taking on your cancer protocol. I read somewhere else on your blog that you were taking like 50 or so pills a day but the ones listed here don’t add up to that. What else were you taking? Enzymes? Barley tablets? Antioxidants?
They are all on my How I Beat Cancer page. 🙂 It’s everything in Bill Henderson’s book + what I researched and added. YES to Barley Greens and Hearts Plus + Green Tea Extract.
Hi Courtney,
A good friend of mine’s mom is battling ovarian cancer with conventional chemo 🙁 She is trying to follow an organic, no sugar diet but she is losing weight and her doctors are encouraging her to push calories (ice cream etc) and not be concerned with sugar and contents. She IS concerned and I’m trying to come up with some healthy, fattening alternatives for her. Can you help? Would love to hear any and all suggestions for me to give her. Wondered about Bone Broth Protein powder added to smoothies, have encouraged healthy fats etc. Also wanted your thoughts on supplements for her. I’m selling oils with Kelsey and have read about benefits of Frankincense with ovarian cancer, will present that as well. Thanks for any help!
Jay Townsend (I’m Kelsey’s friend Katie’s mom)
Yes, frankincense orally has been shown to be helpful but I haven’t done it myself. It’s hard to couple chemo with a healthy diet if appetite is affected. She def needs to make calories a priority on the day’s her appetite is challenging her.
Hello, thank you for your site such great information. My question to you is besides the Living foods Institute did you go to any other clinic? TIA
LFI isn’t a clinic. I had an oncologist also and a holistic md.
What vitamin c did you use?
A food based ascorbic acid should be fine!
Which vitamin c did you use?
A food based according acid should be fine. Buy made in USA
Can I ask you the name of the center in Atlanta you went to how much it cost you?
For detox? The Living Foods Institute- I want to say that in 2008 it was 3,500 per person. My husband and I both went….so it was double that.
Do you know if you can you take this tea when you are on blood pressure medicine?
Is the dry blend tea leaves that you strain out?
When you say you drank it 2-3 times/daily, did you drink it as hot tea? When you say you drank it 2-3 times/daily was it 2-3 cups?
Thank you for any help you can offer.
I am disappointed you did not list the barley grass from Green Supreme on this list. Bill was a huge believer in our company and visited here and spoke with the original owners. We are talked about in every single book and still have many people ordering every day. I will recommend your new blog to people that have questions about diet.
Hi Cindy, I’m getting there. I’m a busy mom of three and this blog is my hobby. I’m gradually adding products and will get Barley Power up there eventually. Thanks for chiming in.
Barley Power Green Supreme is an excellent and essential ingredient in the Bill Henderson Protocol. I started taking it a year ago after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Thank you so much for bringing us this great product.
I agree! It is actually part of the Bill Henderson protocol.http://amzn.to/2lUDojf
are the pills of Barley Power Green Supreme OK to take? Will the work just as well?
That is what I took. 🙂
