Charmander asked about PSP (used by Attitude67)

The intriguing thing about the polysaccharopeptide (PSP) extracted from Turkey tail mushrooms, is the possibility that it might kill stem-like PCa cells.  

In advanced PCa, some cells develop stem-like qualities.  The term "progenitor cell" is often used:

These cells are difficult to kill, & conventional therapies don't even tarket them.  For instance, they are not dependant on androgen.

Here is the key paper on PSP & PCa:

Some might recall a vitamin E thread where I made a case for using DeltaGold, from annatto.  It contains only delta & gamma tocotrienols.  It should be used without any other E product, since tocopherols out-compete for uptake.  Delta & gamma tocotrienols are the most beneficial of the 8 forms of vitamin E, for CVD & PCa, respectively.

The authors of the PSP study also did a gamma tocotrienol study, followed by a study that showed synergy between the two:

I have very little faith in turkey tail supplements.  I live in the U.S. but buy from the Netherlands:
