Hi everyone,

This video directly addresses the issues surronding the so-called PSA testing "controversy".  I think everyone here would benefit from listening to what Dr. Myers has to say.  Plus, the website, has numerous other videos of Dr. Myers discussing various aspects of PC, particularly diet issues.  Here is the link:

Hi MichGuy,

Thanks so much for the URL to this interesting and informative series of videos. Very worthwhile to listen to for many of us. I was particularly intrigued and surprised to learn that consumption of sugar does NOT encourage the growth of cancer. I had always believed  that cancer feeds on sugar! I guess I was totally wrong! 

Very interesting stuff from Dr. Myers.

Hope you're doing well. All the best to you.

Mag, glad to hear about the falsity of the sugar connection, or I would really be screwed. I don't smoke or drink a drop, but I am a well known chocolate freak and sugar junky.

Good link, Mich Guy

I am wary of any advice from a doctor who calls himself "snuffy".

Hey Purgatory:

I hope you are having a pain-free evening.

Still a big improvement from even a week ago. I will take what I can get at this point.

I agree...unusual nickname.  While I have no connection to him, nor have I ever met him, I did find this short bio on his website:

Who is Dr. Snuffy Myers?
 
Medical oncologist and prostate cancer survivor, Dr. Charles "Snuffy" Myers was a key player in creating AZT, Suramin, and Phenylacetate while working at the National Institute of Health. With over 250 research papers published, Myers is one of the leading developers of today's prostate cancer canon on both the research and treatment side of the test tube.

Here's more (plus, it's a pretty interesting PCa website):  http://www.prostateforum.com/about-dr-myers.html
