Who to listen to. High LDL. Low HDL.
Dr Fuhrman says "vegetarian, no dairy, but nuts, avocado, fish oil good. Dr Estellstyn who helped President Clinton says "no meat or dairy nuts avocados or oil" Dr Mercola says " fats are good, fish is good, build up HDL. I read you don't need HDL when your LDL is reduced. Confused ...what to do

Don't want to go on 24 hr oxygen
Well looks like I am going down the wrong road! Am trying to limit my time on the oxygen. But I have to keep my Sats over ninety which I can only do on the compactor! Right now at rest i.e. Sitting the level is 81. If I practice my yoga deep breathing exercise I can bring it up to 90 and over but

Gleason 9 (5+4) 10+ years ago - widely metastatic cancer and running out of options!
My husband was diagnosed in 2007 at age 57, Gleason 9 (5+4), PSA 18. [PSA at age 50 was 10 - a 3 core biopsy showed nothing so he was told he simply had a high baseline PSA]. He started ADT in late 2007 and had iodine brachytherapy in 2008. PSA rose rapidly after surgery. Combidex scan in Holland
