On this regimen you drink 6 biers a day but each bottle is a different brand. This confuses the cancer cells so they starve to death. At the end of 30 days you are allowed to repeat brands. A one day vacation is allowed once every 6 months. Sadly a few cells will become resistant so this regimen must be continued indefinitely.

Thanks Herbie, please keep us posted on the Champ Trial. We loved your blog, but didnt see much on amount of progress. We are all hoping for something that works. Trials are where true progress will be seen before the rest of the World. Thanks,

Herbie,Found it. Can you give us what progress you have experienced?dukehealth.org/clinical-tri...

[HerbieP]

Hey all, sorry for the brevity of my post as I see it left questions. The progress is in my blood work, LDH, ALT, Alkaline Phosphatase, and AST all going down to normal ranges (They were elevated). All of the .....phils are better (I don't understand all that), although my platelet count keeps declining as I also am anemic from having 0 testosterone.

I know many say not to focus on PSA but mine was doubling every 2 months even through the Docetaxel infusions. My PSA dropped 33 points after the second CHAMP infusion down to 215. Yes, I have a long way to go you might say, but hey that's in the right direction (I started at 1477 in April 2018).

The truly shocking thing to me is that my side effects are so far less than Docetaxel:

Nausea is barely there

Brain fog is less

Constipation for two days

Fatigue: Day 1 I'm still hopped up on the steroids they gave me, Day 2 I'm pretty much couch bound with no energy but very hungry, Day 3 I'm about 50% back to normal energy wise, and Day 4 (today) I'm about 80%. I usually update the clinical trial team at the end of Day 5 that I'm back to 90% so I'm expecting that again. 90% means I often need a short nap during the day, and a day of rest if I do a lot of manual labor.

Thanks Herbie. A good news update. Listen, naps are heathy. Al the geniuses of our time take them. I have only an average IQ, but try to take them daily. Its curative. Keep on the progress train. Live the life you dreamed. Our best to you, and yours,
