Very unfortunate, as many chemo patients use herbal teas for chemo side effects. Read on...
"The most immediate conclusion from our study is the strong advice that patients undergoing cancer therapy with Velcade must avoid green tea, and in particular all of its concentrated products that are freely available from health food stores," says Schönthal.
