Impact of Chemotherapy on Immune Cells

But let me tell you something profound and very simple.

Something profound is as follows.

When you get chemotherapy, let's talk about cancer, for example.

When you get chemotherapy, the first thing it wipes out is your red

blood cells. You have anemia,

and there's a drug for that called Epogen.

The second thing it wipes out is cells called neutrophils that prevent

infection, and there's a drug for that called Neupogen.

But the most important thing it wipes out is

your NK and T cells, and that's called lymphocytes.

It turns out the only thing that protects your body

against cancer is your lymphocytes, meaning the NK cells and T cells.

So that's why I'm saying what is simple and profound,

meaning that we now know that anybody getting

chemotherapy, anybody getting radiation, within a day

or two, you wipe out the only cells that matter,

i.e. the cells that kill cancer.
