Zytiga Side Effects Inquiry
I'll try to keep this post short and simple: I'm trying to decide whether to push for/encourage an oncologist to add zytiga and prednisone to my Lupron. My situation is this: I'm 52 years old, athletic, diagnosed with PCx in May 2015, Gleason 4+3 and 4+4. Failed brachy/IMRT combo in late 2015, PSA

Hi all. Today i have been discharged from the hospital as i refuse to take statins. I was blatantly told that their job is to prescribe medication and if i refuse to take it, they will refer me back to my gp who can monitor my cholesterol via blood tests. Fair enough but before they completely remove

Fighting B12 deficiency
Putting all my symptoms as somebody else might benefit from it. I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency in Jan 2018. It all started with burning sensation in my left forearm which then spread to leg, shoulder blades, hands etc. I took it as Heart issue and was shit scared. Visited my family Dr immediately

Peri-Prostatic Adipose Tissue.
New review below [1]. Details are in the full text, but it's a reminder that visceral fat secretes hormones that can spur PCa growth. A number of studies have measured periprostatic fat thickness & found that it has prognostic value. Which implies that it has an active role in progression. "... several

Government and Academia Complicit in Influence Peddling - How Sweet It Is!
Heart disease, cholesterol, saturated fat, sugar, statins - who can you trust to tell you the truth? The government is supposed to be there to regulate and control 'those ruthless capitalists' from taking advantage of the public. Academia is supposed to provide intellectual objectivity to research, contentious

Coming Off Statins - Update - December 22, 2017
I'm writing this in February about my last blood test a couple of months ago. I'm always experimenting with my diet to assess its impact on my blood bio-markers. Most recently, prior to my December blood test, I started having 4 squares daily of 70% cocoa dark chocolate (Lindt). For the first time, I

Pantothenic acid deficiency may be the cause of Parkinsons
Hey all. I was researching B5 metabolism genetic diseases as I think I have one, and realised the symptoms are a lot like Parkinsons. The diseases are PKAN, and coase also called NBIA- neuro degenerative associated brain iron accumulation -caused by broken enzymes converting B5 aka pantothenic acid into

Need some advice. Increase to 100mcg?High cholesterol and folate.
Hello everybody. I'm a newbie to the community. I was diagnosed with Grave's disease in 12/2016 and took Thiamazole since then.
