With its taste bud altering ability, Miraculin has the ability to make food more palatable for individuals undergoing chemotherapy or radiation treatment. While undergoing chemotherapy, it is very common for patients to complain about a metallic taste when they eat. This occurs because the medicine they are receiving is not only killing the cancer, but it is also attacking different parts of the body, specifically the tongue. The metallic taste comes from the taste of the medicine. Miracle Berry is able to tone down the metallic taste by giving the taste buds a “blanket” to be on and to help disguise the metallic taste. Radiation is similar, but is more concentrated to one area. It is common for patients with or in remission of throat cancer to use Miracle Fruit Tablets to enhance their taste since the radiation was so close to their taste buds and could have been damaged in the process.
If you plan on using Miracle Fruit Tablets while completing the treatment, we have some tips for you. If you cannot produce enough saliva to dissolve the tablet, drink a little water to simulate saliva. While the Miracle Fruit Tablet is not water soluble, it will help get it dissolved in collaboration with moving it around the mouth.
Miracle Fruit can not cure cancer, it only helps to enhance the taste of foods.
