Answer to Question 1

C
A macrobiotic diet is low in fat and high in fiber and plant foods, which may help recovery of individuals with cancer when combined with conventional cancer treatments. It may be high in minerals and vitamins, but is generally low in protein. It is believed to be low in toxins, but is not necessarily low in carcinogens and mutagens. It does not change the availability of nutrients for cancer cells versus healthy cells.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
The recommended concentration of dextrose in PPN is less than 10 to avoid damage to the peripheral veins.

Drug abusers experience the following scenario: The pleasure given by their drug (or drugs) of choice is so strong that it is difficult to eradicate even after years of staying away from the substances involved.
