New possible treatment being researched

[Shamrock46]

Just read an interesting article about some research at Trent University that says there's hope for a new PCa treatment. It's a naturally occurring molecule called carnosine and seems to indicate much fewer side effects. As I've written before, I think ADT is too harsh and takes away too much, so I hope something like this proves very effective in treatment. It'll be too late for my husband but I sincerely hope and pray it works out as an effective treatment!

What a wonderful thought! ADT is every man’s worst nightmare. To be able to effectively replace this archaic treatment would be life changing for so many!

Arguable. Cancer is my worst nightmare. Everyone responds to ADT differently. Fear never helps.

Acknowledged

No argument from me as adt unequivocally hands down the worst nightmare…

For those who didn't read the article, it's about research showing that carnosine can possibly keep prostate cancer in check. Carnosine is a molecule found in the body and in consumed meat.

The article makes no mention of this, but the popular sports supplement beta-alanine works because it raises levels of carnosine in the body. This helps to buffer lactic acid, allowing users to perform better in endurance activities and intense resistance training.

Interestingly, I was on this supplement for 2 years straight, as I was always either training for some personal athletic objective or competitive event. I never wanted to come off because I was worried I'd backtrack on improvements. When I stopped taking beta-alanine in 2022 (as I was worried about health effects of being on it with no break), within months I had mets all over the place and my cancer was discovered.

still on cells, let’s wait for something clinical, but it’s interesting

Carnosine as potential initial PCa treatment

Researchers have discovered that a naturally-occurring molecule could potentially be an effective first line of treatment against prostate cancer.

Nottingham Trent University (NTU) scientists investigated the anti-cancer properties of carnosine, which can be produced in the body and is also found in meat.
