Can you please let me know if you have had any posts from people in the UK using bipolar androgen therapy. If so are there any success stories. I would also like to know if there are any clinicians that you know of who offer this therapy. Any information you can give me will be appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation. Walter Clee.

It is highly experimental, with only 20-30% deriving any benefit from it, and about the same percent deteriorate rapidly. The big question is which patients? Here are the results so far:

As you can see, results are not great so far. There seems to be a subgroup who have high androgen receptor activity and are using Xtandi who may respond.

its talked about more in an unmoderated section of HealthUnlocked, Fight Prostate Cancer.

Research Seems to be still in the works, but a lot of men do their own versions, best as I can tell. Which means you have to have a prescribing doctor and pay for it yourself, or at least part of it yourself. That’s where most of us would have trouble, even if we are willing to take the risks-getting the regimen prescribed.

I haven’t tried yet-still hoping my radiation was curative or remission inducing. But I am also interested but haven’t actually asked a Prostate cancer specialist about it.

second one is a paid link (I am looking for it in pdf format) but the newest one should be the third

The problem is still one: how to know in advance who would benefit from BAT?

Greetings Walter. There are tons of posts regarding Bipolar androgen therapy in our history file. You would have to select and review them for U.K. member's posts.

Good Luck, Good Health and Good Humor.
