Last six PSA's are 0.415, 0.363, 0.312, 0.305, 0.243, and 0.187 on December 16.
Results come from a diet that minimizes insulin response and contains little iron. The baseline is a vegan diet that allows some wild caught seafood, and does not allow foods that promote a large insulin response. I have no sweets, potatoes nor bread. The diet contains soy. I also have about 6-7 raspberries and ample walnuts on steel cut oatmeal, cooked til dry, and served without milk.
I walk about 2-2.5 miles per day, immediately after breakfast.
Gleason scores: biopsy (4,3), pathology (3,3) . . . different labs. PSADT post surgery and post SRT of 7 months. No treatments after SRT in Jan./Feb. 2011. Note, If I let up on the diet the PSA will quickly start rising again. I have already seen a diet stop working by such things as presoaking the oatmeal, cooking the oatmeat with too much water, adding too much (almond) milk, and adding too much fruit.
This is meant to be used complementary with standard treatments for prostate cancer. It's unlikely that nutrition alone would be able to stop an aggressive form of cancer.

Hi. Interesting post. How did you see such a diet fail? Seems like all your numbers are on the downward tangent. Did you see the negative PSA response in yourself or someone else?
All observations were mine. The PSAs above were the last 6 out of 60+ ultrasensitive PSAs taken over an 8 year period.
Diet along won’t stop an aggressive APC . But it’s a great compliment to our overall health .. It all sounds healthy to me . Immunity is in a healthy gut . Go for it! 👏
I too have switched to a similar vegan-like pescatarian diet as my primary care Dr. has been trying to get me to do that for over 7 years now. I figured I needed to reduce my inflammation and boy did it work, my gums no longer bleed when I floss after just 2 months! I was a milk, cheese & eggs lover - but also a big veggie fan already so it wasn't too difficult, except for switching over to imitation meat instead of real meat.
I mostly eat organic (when I can) veggies and fruit, avoid dairy and eggs, eat wild caught fish, eat meat substitutes based on veggie or soy proteins, and when red meat it's a splurge for grass fed (they have healthy fat). I also switched to intermittent fasting (eating between 11am and 7pm). Has this helped tame the aCRPC inside me? Not yet, but I feel much better and I've lost 15 pounds pre-chemo so it's all good.
Interested in how much fruit you eat, and what kinds of carbs and how much? Thank you so much for sharing!
I have gone to a mostly vegan diet with wild caught salmon or sardines three times a week. Lots of fresh veggies some cooked veggies, all organic. Some sweet potato, beets, parsnip, carrots as well.
For fruit, I mainly have granny smith apples and raspberries. For carbs, anything with a low to medium GI (glycemic index) should be OK. Your list is pushing it. I have lots of broccoli, broccoli sprouts, cauliflower, bell peppers, onions, cabbage . . . I never had much luck when I eat beets, but I have not identified beets as the cause - - with a consistent diet, with and without beets. No potatoes for me, although a small amount of yams likely wouldn't hurt.
