A friend of mine who underwent chemo for Hodgkins' said that the (then $5.00/pill, 4 pills per day) were not as effective as an appetite enhancer and were much more expensive than the herbal 'medication'.
That was in the 1980's and he could get several day's 'medication' to self-administer for the price of a single day worth of pills.
