Reduce side effects of chemotherapy – better tolerated with PMA-Zeolith®
Going through chemotherapy is a heavy burden. But there are helpful supportive measures that can alleviate these side effects and make the therapy more tolerable for you. These include the volcanic mineral PMA-Zeolith®, which we have developed in our MED THERAPY PRO specifically to reduce these side effects and whose efficacy has been demonstrated in scientific studies.
Tolerate chemotherapy better and reduce side effects with PMA-Zeolith®
Chemotherapy is one of the most common forms of treatment in oncology for cancer and is used to destroy cancer cells in the body or inhibit their growth. Special medications, the so-called cytostatics, are used, which act specifically on rapidly dividing cells. Since cancer cells usually divide more quickly than healthy cells, these medications can be effective in stopping or slowing tumour growth, but at the same time they also attack healthy cells, which can lead to a range of distressing side effects.
Possible side effects of chemotherapy:
- Adverse effects on the gastrointestinal tract
- Diarrhoea or constipation
- Nausea and vomiting
- Hair loss
- Fatigue
- Increased susceptibility to infections
MED THERAPY PRO with PMA-Zeolith®
Specifically developed to reduce side effects during chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy and its effects on the gut and liver
How can the PMA-Zeolith® in our MED THERAPY PRO support you during chemotherapy? The cytostatics, i.e. the chemotherapeutic drugs, are intended to destroy cancer cells. Unfortunately, cytostatics are toxic, otherwise they would not work. However, they attack not only cancer cells but also healthy, rapidly dividing cells – especially in the gut and liver.
Gut
- High cell turnover rate – particularly sensitive to cytostatics
- Damage to the intestinal mucosa leads to inflammation, diarrhoea and impaired nutrient absorption
- A damaged intestinal wall loses its protective function – toxic substances and bacteria enter the body more easily
- The immune system (around 80% located in the gut) is weakened, increasing the risk of infection
- Activation of the enteric nervous system – typical side effects such as nausea and vomiting
- Severe side effects may lead to short bowel syndrome
Liver
- The body’s central detoxification centre
- During chemotherapy it also has to process the cytostatics – a severe burden
- Possible consequences: liver damage, reduced detoxification function, toxins remain longer in the body
- Toxins can stimulate the vomiting centre in the brain – nausea and vomiting
- Release of inflammatory mediators in the liver – fatigue and other complaints
MED THERAPY PRO: How PMA-Zeolith®can support you
Our MED THERAPY PRO with the main active ingredient PMA-Zeolith® can, thanks to its unique properties, help reduce the side effects of your chemotherapy. Scientific studies have shown that the PMA-Zeolith® it contains can reduce the burden of toxic substances by binding them in the gastrointestinal tract and removing them from your body. MED THERAPY PRO supports you in many ways.
Areas of action of MED THERAPY PRO
Protection and regeneration of the intestinal mucosa
Protects the intestinal mucosa and promotes its regeneration, reduces inflammatory processes and strengthens the gut’s barrier function. Helps to minimise damage caused by cytostatics and reduces the frequency and severity of nausea, vomiting and other side effects.
Supporting liver function
Binds toxic substances already in the gut before they reach the liver. Reduces the overall burden on the liver and supports its function – helps to reduce liver damage caused by chemotherapy.
Regulating bowel movements
Contributes to more stable gut and liver function and can reduce diarrhoea as well as constipation, thereby alleviating fatigue. Helps to reduce the risk of short bowel syndrome and supports with loss of appetite as well as the risk of malnutrition.
Detoxification and strengthening the immune system
Binds ammonium, harmful substances and toxins in the gut and supports their excretion. Helps to relieve the body’s burden and stabilises the immune system. May improve nutrient absorption and thus support the body’s supply during therapy.
Supportive care during chemotherapy
MED THERAPY PRO with PMA-Zeolith® can help to reduce side effects and support your quality of life during therapy.
