PROSTRATE SUPPLEMENTS

[Roger2Dodger]

Any one have thoughts on this??

According to a study presented at the American Urological Association’s annual meeting in 2009, drinking 8 ounces of pomegranate juice a day may slow the progression of prostate cancer.

I misspelled prostate in the title, big freaking deal! Thank you for explaining the definition of the prostate. You must teach 3rd grade, and you find it necessary to be sure I know the difference. Maybe folks are just not educated as you, and you have the need to give them a grammar lesson.

My thoughts would be, keep your grammar lessons to your self! Not appreciated.

Lots of people do that. It's not just you.

[Daddyishealing in reply to Roger2Dodger]

Please don't fight. it's not good for healing. if you don't like what someone says let it go. let things go and heal . I wish youhealing.I know it's frustrating to be fighting cancer. healing energy sent

So are you saying the juice is not truly helpful , in your research?

[Daddyishealing]

Damn, that seemed hopeful. have you researched psk or wobenzyme as adjuvant to chemo or just in balancing the body. also juicing. I wish I could get my dad to juice. I am chronically sick. the best I ever felt was when juicing daily for many months and I cut carbs and sugar, which rt now I'm underweight so I can't do. however I truly, by experience simply with pain and inflammation believe in juicing, time rich enzymes, acidopholus, vitamin c , and d3 . however , I do not know if any interfere with therapy for you. as for pain I never found one herb or vitamin to help nerve, muscle, or joint pain. just a lower pain scale overall without sugar, coffee, white flour, and using the supplements and juicing I mentioned . am I wrong to assume this could also help someone with Pca, because I know many fighting other less advanced cancers naturally and using the above. I believe in conventional therapy with adjuvant therapy. I'm trying to find the best supplements for my dad. I know he won't take as many as I do. he's actually in less pain than me thankfully. what would you say are the cost important supplements that studies in other countries have proven effective .

I am working on avoiding foods, first. I believe the U of Berkely journalism professor Michael Pollan, as to avoiding processed foods. I believe Robert Lustig who cautions strongly against sugar, added to make low fat processed food palatable. I believe Bruce Hollis on vitamin D (lots). D is the only thing I take that I hope for a secret benefit.

In the application of these ideas, I eat few things. Salad bar salads since it is easy to get something inoffensive without waste or work. No sugar I can avoid, or carbs (reading labels on cans of tomatoes). Not strict: I ate some pizza on a drive back home from a talk on HIFU, as a concession. Coffee with caffine, changed from decaf, for energy levels. Water. Fruit as a treat. Almonds and walnuts. All subject to variation. Meat: beef and salmon.

Does it do anything? Well weight does seem to be going down slowly. Goal is to go from 225 to 190, now 210-.

Pondering ginseng. I know a Korean woman.

Kind of disheartened at the moment however. Plodding. Disoriented. Worried.

WHAT triggered such emotion? I am a good listener if you need an ear xoxo with all emotion it's god to embrace the feeling accept and not push down and to recognize each emotion and let it be. it will pass. you are entitled to days when you don't have to be all sunshine but your determination and my true belief you will persevere shines through because you are on the correct dietary path, and exercise and treatment. I wish my dad would diet and exercise. if you are looking to avoid foods the rile of thumb of most diseases is avoid dairy, processes food, and sugar while you are healing some say meat but meat without hormones or antibiotics I can't see as hurting, because a guys got to eat lol. and I've been on that diet, I know it's hard. it did help me feel balanced with more energy and my immune system was stronger . I'm here if u need me. there are oncologist naturopaths that perhaps could help but I think what you are doing is enough. if you start to feel.overwhelmed I'm not sure if you believe in meditation but healing mediations on you tube or audio dharma even if just played as background noise often help me through. xoxo

I decided to plug on with the decision to get better imagining, to identify (if that is what it is) a problematic lymph node. Emailed mayo clinic, got a call back, and an application, so I guess I have a next step. Dr Eugene Kwon is there and he is a hero, with imaging.

If it is a lymph node, then cut it out, or get it some other way. (Hifu preferred, but not likely to actually be workable. Maybe with the Ablatherm Focal 1 model.)

Then onto the final step, healing the prostate. Plan is a series of testosterone injections, to encourage the normal prostate cells to live and crowd out the cancerous ones. Needs work.

[Borisbadenough in reply to Hidden]

PLEASE delve deeper into testosterone treatment for treatment of PC. Everything I've read and discussed with my urologist and internist states that testosterone will accelerate the PC and have adverse effects on other organs. In late stage PC attempts are made to decrease testosterone.

[Hidden in reply to Borisbadenough]

Borisbadenough - yes i know. That's ADT. The 5-year survival is getting better, but problematic, despite a 50 year run. Looking for the exit strategy.

[Borisbadenough in reply to Daddyishealing]

What is in dairy that is bad for PC?

[JPerkins in reply to Hidden]

Sounds like your on a good track, I've been eating paleo and sometimes primal. lots to explanation on those two ways of eating, you may want to look those up. On the weekends I loosen up a bit, meaning I might have some pizza or even movie popcorn. over time (3 months) I've lost 12 lbs and energy has gone up. I don't have to take many naps, like I use to. Just to say, I'll do primal for a while and then paleo for awhile. That way I don't get bored in one way of eating. Take care

[Hidden in reply to Daddyishealing]

juicing makes sense. Have not gotten into it. For a while made fruit smoothies, from frozen fruit, was nice and amusing, but not now.

[Hidden in reply to Daddyishealing]

Exercising=Walking (5 miles/day surprisingly do-able)

Fitbit tracker helps a lot.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

All the same, metformin still looks good.

Making efforts to add it.

Ps. i found this on turkey tail

"Clinically Effective Dosage 3-9 iu The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently approved a clinical trial for a Turkey Tail extract that will examine its effects on advanced prostate cancer in combination with conventional chemotherapy. Another trial—pending FDA approval—will test the effects of taking the extract along with a vaccine treatment in women with breast cancer. "We didn't discover Turkey Tail," says lead investigator Leanna J. Standish, PhD, ND, L.Ac, FABNO, medical director of the Bastyr Integrative Oncology Research Center. "It's been used in Asia for thousands and thousands of years, and it turns out to be a really potent immune therapy. “[1] In a study published recently in the peer-reviewed journal ISRN Oncology, Bastyr and the University of Minnesota found that a Turkey Tail supplement may support conventional breast cancer therapies by strengthening patients’ immune system."

The guy next to me at the dentist said tumeric. Tumeric with pepper in it, for some reason. Turkey tail. I will have to google that.

[Daddyishealing in reply to Hidden]

Tumeric without pepper does not work. I do take Tumeric with pepper. you need to take it multiple times a day because your body can only absorb so much. I started taking fir inflammation and other diseases . I did notice and not via placebo, my stomach was less acidic and though I can't say I felt this great percentage better I did notice a difference . I have taken many many supplements in my life and I know when my body takes to something or not. for pain, I was told up to 20 oils of circumin , but for me it didn't work. however I do know a cancer patient whose pain was helped. the benefits of Tumeric are long documented for so many ailments the list is too long, many studies showing use as prevention of alzheimers. I only take in powder firm with pepper but I also heard it needs a fat to work, and I have seen advice to take with fish oil or olive oil but you have to look that up. I can tell you that without the pepper , the healing properties of Tumeric are virtually non existent and that again take multiple times per day. this also can help also prevent dude effects from chemo. Another thing that across the board for health issues is useful is a cup of hot water with lemon to start the day. This goes for all conditions and general health. I did not have a good response to encapsulated Tumeric with pepper but if you find a good one let me know. Possibly due to digestive issues I only reacted well to the actual spice with pepper. probiotics I swear by as I at one time was continually sick and due to misdiagnosis doctors kept feeding me antibiotics . my immunity was nil. it took time but vitamin c, acidophilus in high quantity and a low glycemic diet reversed everything and I did not take antibiotics for about 5 more years. so I swear by those things. and by juicing though currently I've been too lazy or stressed to follow protocol for my own health

The thought was that pom juice is an antioxidant. Don't know about how well it works to slow the growth of cancer, but it works well with vodka to deal with it, in moderation of course. You may want to consider looking into Vitamin D3, roswellpark.org/patients/tr.... I was part of a trial taking 10,000 IU per day for a few years. My doubling time went from about 4 months to about 18 months. There are sources available wherein that 10,000IU is just 5 drops. Major side effect is increased blood calcium, which can lead to muscle cramps.

[Roger2Dodger]

I do 6 ounces of Pomegranate juice daily. I also take 4 tabs of IP-6 & Inositol daily. Is it beneficial to my PCa? That is to be determined. My next PSA reading end of month.
