The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of consuming "R" on quality of life in the areas of insomnia, fatigue, and depression in female breast cancer patients receiving multi-cycle adjuvant chemotherapy.
Female breast cancer patients eligible for adjuvant therapy with four cycles of Taxotere and Cytoxan chemotherapy after surgery will be enrolled for the study.
Eligible subjects will begin to consume either "R" or purified water (placebo) just prior to the 1st cycle of chemotherapy. Subjects will continue to consume either "R" or placebo through Cycle 1, Cycle 2, Cycle 3, Cycle 4, and for an additional 12 weeks after completing chemotherapy.
Study procedures will include clinical lab assessments, analysis of inflammatory markers, RNA biomarkers, adverse events, subject diary, and quality of life measurements for insomnia, fatigue and depression.

| Purified Water | Placebo Comparator | In this arm, eligible subjects will begin to consume purified water (placebo) just prior to the 1st cycle of chemotherapy. Subjects will continue to consume the placebo through their chemotherapy and then for an additional 12 weeks after completing chemotherapy. Subjects will consume a specific volume based on the following weight categories: <150 lb = 2 bottles/day; ≥150 lb and <225 lb = 3 bottles/day; ≥225 lb = 4 bottles/day. Subjects will consume placebo for a minimum of 168 days. |

| 'R' (Electro-kinetically altered beverage) | Experimental | Patients randomized to this arm will begin to consume "R" (Electro-kinetically altered beverage) just prior to the 1st cycle of chemotherapy and continue it through their chemotherapy cycles and then for an additional 12 weeks after completing chemotherapy. Subjects will consume a specific volume based on the following weight categories: <150 lb = 2 bottles/day; ≥150 lb and <225 lb = 3 bottles/day; ≥225 lb = 4 bottles/day. Subjects will consume R for a minimum of 168 days. |
