“…Based on published reports, it is clear that cancer drugs induce cell death in rapidly growing cancer cells, but they have also been found to harm healthy cells by suppressing the immune system and causing cancer-related fatigue (Ahles and Saykin, 2007;Apetoh et al, 2007;Gascoigne et al, 2009;Pecqueur et al, 2013). For example, non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients treated with pemetrexed showed serious lifethreatening infections caused by a combination of several side effects, such as myelosuppression, mucositis, and diarrhea (Hanna, 2004;Eguia et al, 2011). Several different approaches, including dietary changes and nutritional supplements, can be effective in increasing energy levels in cancer patients (Grober, 2009).…”
