Food supplements I hope will help

[Brad70]

I had: PSA 30, Gleason 10, PCa Stage 4 localized to pelvic region.

Treated with IMRT radiation + Eligard + Abiraterone. PSA undetectable.

Stopped Abiraterone due liver that hates it (liver is ok).

Will try Nubeqa, and may switch to Orgovyx after Eligard runs out in December.

While ADT starves the cancer, I am taking some food supplements to help with side effects. I tried to select "healthy" supplements that may fight prostate cancer as well.

I've included links to a paper on each. Any feedback welcome.

I hope that includes red meat, bacon, and alcohol.

And of course, chocolate covered Cialis and Viagra.

Can that stuff overcome ADT?

[TuffNuttoCrack in reply to j-o-h-n]

John actually my hospital advice is 80 grams protein and switch to plant based diet, 1/3 fruits, 1/3 veggies and 1/3 protein. Kind of hard to do constantly, if you want resveratrol eat red grapes

And they're the ones to make Hospital Jello...........I'm Good, thanks...

Perfect. Per the Feds (NIH): "cannabinoids were shown to reduce the size of prostate tumors".

Those studies were confounded by alcohol use.....Hey, where's my beer?

Resveratrol is rumoured to work well with Turmeric and ursolic acid, however my oncology pharmacist says the tumeric and resveratrol have a negative effect on aberaterone. Who knows, it's a minefield.

[maley2711 in reply to SouthFrance]

Personally, advise against deciding on "treatments" based on rumors????

[anony2020]

ENSURE?

Dont mind me. I am a layman trying to make some sense of the whole thing.

[j-o-h-n in reply to anony2020]

You know what? I'm getting to mind you!!! Making sense of the whole thing? YGBFC (You Gotta Be Fucking Crazy).....

Taking food supplements may benefit you, depending on what and how much you take. Some can also be toxic at higher dosages. It’s often a guessing game .

Exercise for side effects is far more effective.

[V10fanatic]

Turkeytail and other mushrooms are purported to be helpful. I've started drinking Ryze coffee ryzesuperfoods.com/ in the morning. Mud/wtr coffee also contains these healthy mushrooms. mudwtr.com/

Rather than just throwing "Supplement" darts at the wall, I would talk to a good naturopath about your specific situation and let them make some recommendations just for you. I wish you the best.

[swwags in reply to VLBIV]

yes because their medical training is so very very extensive. Why trust a bottle label when someone can tell you in person what to take?

[Professorgary]

yes and a good one will send out stool and hair samples for analysis. Pretty sure most naturopaths will give magnesium and curcumin a thumbs up.

[Brad70]

I'm apathetic to being naturopathic.

[lcfcpolo]

Prostaphane. A food supplement with broccoli seeds extract titrated in free and stabilized sulforaphane has had successful results.

[j-o-h-n in reply to lcfcpolo]

Prostaphane? Isn't that the clear plastic wrap used for wrapping your left over food in the frig?

Good Luck, Good health and Good Humor.

[Brad70 in reply to j-o-h-n]

Plastic food wrap is commonly made from polyvinyl chloride. Cellophane is commonly used as a packaging material. Sorry, no humor in that.

[j-o-h-n in reply to Brad70]

Thanks,

I remember Cellophane............ It goes like this, Betty Davis speaking: "Peter, Peter why are you wearing those Cellophane shorts? I always knew you were crazing but now I can see your nuts".

(you guys must hate me..... but I just gotta or I won't be able to sleep tonight)

Good Luck, Good health and Good Humor.
