Reality of this is astounding

[mrscruffy]

I like numbers so I did some figuring. As of yesterday I have taken my medication and supplements for 2,190 consecutive days. In those days I have taken a total of approximately 61,320 pills. Astounding!

[Seasid]

Can you reduce the numbers? I don't believe that others without that numbers are worst of? I am also trying to reduce the numbers of supplements. They are very expensive. Better to buy fresh good quality food for that money. What do you think about that possibility?

[CAMPSOUPS in reply to Seasid]

Eat healthy and well my friend. The body needs nourishment.

[Hidden in reply to Seasid]

I Do fresh mostly organic food and also about $800 per month in nutrients x seven years . 😩 ouch! 😩

[Hidden]

6 yrs x 28 per day ? That’s a lot . If I count nutrients ,I too would be there . I’ve taken around 14 k pink tAk700 pills to date . Mama Mia! 😳

[Hidden]

MrScruffy. We are walking pharmacology experiments. We know that none of these pills are natural to the human body, yet we desire life, so we persist. It seems that most who stop this pharmacology barrage will perish soon thereafter. Keep on keep’n on until something better comes along. Best to you, and yours, Mike

Just erleada: 4 pills x 365 = 1420 yrx 5 yr = 7100 x 100.00 pill = 710,000.00....

Boywonder56, I’m 2 1/2 years on same cocktail as you with real good results. Usual se’s that are tolerable. Is the Erleada still holding your PSA down and have you had any discussion about how long we could continue taking same. I haven’t heard of anyone that’s been taking both over 5 years. Thanks Larry.

Oh yea, Balance and Bumping into walls....Reminds me when I was a wise ass teenager with my wise ass (funny) friends walking down a Bronx street like the Jets in West Side Story. Well one of the guys accidently bumped into a light pole, so one of the other wise ass guys said "hey don't you say excuse to the light pole" Without missing a beat the bumper into guy said "I don't speak Polish"........ (Maria, Maria)......

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.

Can't imagine getting through this far without insurance... New Xofigo is about $47K / mo. times 6= $290k +++xtandi at 12,000/ mo. then half dose $6000/mo +++Provenge about $300K. Started out cheap, about $30k per mo. In this country you either have insurance a lot of money or you just die. Really sucks....

[Teufelshunde]

Average 50 pills per day (doesnt include MCP, mushroom powder, AMLA powder) or about 18,250 per year. Not all PC related, but many cross over to PC and BP, lipids, up T, lower E2, lower stress, etc. I keep trying to eliminate but have trouble as synergy between many of these make it even better. UGH!

[epfj3333]

It must be working. You're still here!

[j-o-h-n]

Is that with or without water?
