I have been researching Thunder God Vine and it seems most people use it for RA where it works better than drugs. There is very limited evidence it would be effective against PCa. But there is a good chance it might prevent CRPC. If Triptolide can prevent resistance to Xtandi why wouldn't it work with Lupron.

Nal,
I am afraid of chemo because it might permanently damage the immune system. Most of the clinical trials for immunotherapy drugs exclude men with prior chemo but I don't know why
I also read a few papers that after chemo, supplements to prevent cancer no longer work.

Gus,
As I understand it, chemo drugs damage rapidly dividing cells. The cells in bone marrow that divide to produce T-cells, white blood cells that attack diseased cells are in that category.
It is my understanding that, in most people, the immune system will fully recover after some weeks or months off chemo but, for a clinical trial, I presume that a drug maker wants to take no chances that he's including people with previously compromised immune systems in his outcome statistics.
