G9. 3b. RP. PSA going into SRT .039, up from .023. My 7 months of ADT expired the 23rd of last month. PSA and T are still undetectable. Still feel all the bad side effects of the lupron. Doc says no more Lupron , just wait and see. My PSA stayed at .023 for a year after RP until I went on vacation and stopped using cannabis oil rectally. It then climbed to .039.

I take 1 scoop of Feels Good turmeric with pepper daily and eat a good diet.

What other supplements might keep this demon asleep? I know from myself and other close friends that cannabis seems to keep the PSA down but the stuff gets old. It makes you tired and forgetful. Taken rectally avoids getting stoned but after the RP that might be a problem when used long term so I have been taking it at night orally. That makes you really forgetful and takes the edge off of your thinking.

What are some of the better known effective supplements?

I don't expect miracle.

Ideas?

So what makes you think you aren't cured? Why are you taking anything?

Well, I hope to God I am cured but being G9 3b, from what I understand, is real iffy. I believe my chances of being "cured" are not good.

All you can do is wait, and deal with whatever situation arises. If you are cured, nothing is needed. If you aren't cured, nothing you can do before it has progressed will make any difference anyway. So your best strategy is to consider yourself cured. If it turns out you aren't, you lose nothing by dealing with it then. It can spare you quite a bit of anxiety.

Wait and see is probably the best tack. Thank you TA.

Ck,A very important question to ask even though you will encounter Numerous people at this site Who are very dismissive of naturopathic treatments. Rather than write an extensive repetition of my previous posts, please go to my past history of posts and read what I have to say about Dr. Shamsuddin and IP6. I also comment on other supplements. I would recommend Nalakrats posts as well.

Private message me with any questions you may have about the effective use of IP6. Don’t miss reading Dr. Shamsuddin’s book IP6 and Inositol Available from Amazon.

I use V8 juice because the lycopenes slow down the cancer growth, in theory, my experience, and in practice. I also use other lycopene sources like spaghetti sauce and gac juice. Also, shrimp coctail sauce, tomato soup, and actual lycopene pills. They are relatively inexpensive and you need to take frequently, like several times per day or more, but they work for me at least temporarily. Pizza sauce. I vary my tomato soup with different things in it like sauteed onions, garlic, shrimp, broccoli, asparagus or whatever you like. The key is it needs oil to go to the bloodstream, so make sure there is oil in the soup or whatever. Fresh tomatoes don't work. They have to be cooked. Catsup works. Mayo with catsup salad dressing. Just try to keep up your lycopene intake up. V8 low sodium is best to keep blood pressure down. Black pepper with tumeric augment each other. Paprika may work, not sure. Just try to focus on those foods as much as possible. I find it hard to imagine a scoop of tumeric, I use a shaker like a pepper shaker to put it on fried foods. Maybe it 's why it doesn't seem to do much.
