Lifetime Entertainment Services is campaigning to help restore patient and consumer rights to breast cancer patients and their families.  On their mylifetime.com website here is what they are saying:

Representatives Rosa DeLauro (D-Connecticut) and Joe Barton (R-Texas) and Senators Mary Landrieu (D-Louisiana) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) recently re-introduced the bipartisan Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act in Congress. Thanks to its viewers, Lifetime has so far collected more than 23 million online petition signatures urging Congress to pass this critical legislation, which would end the practice of so-called "drive-through" mastectomies when women are forced out of the hospital only hours after invasive breast cancer surgery.

I had always been taught that supplementation should support foundational nutrition.  For me that means:

1.  A good multivitamin   2.  Cod liver oil and/or fish oils

If extending beyond that I'd say that you can't go wrong with:

3.  A good probiotic formula   4.  Some digestive enzymes

Lastly I've heard people swear by their:

5.  Green food powders   6.  Whole food fiber products

Some argue the need for supplemenation is based on nutrient deficient foods that come from commercial farming or obvious gaps in the Standard American Diet.
