PH Level and My Prostate Cancer as wll as Therapy

71 years old.  Prostate Cancer discovered August 15 2011.  Biopsy, 12 out of 12 positive.

PSA 14.7.  Started Bicalutamid, 50 Mg. daily, 16 days ago; yesterday, shot of Lupron 30 Mg.  Feel Fine so far.

NOW A MAJOR QUESTION:  before any therapy started, a friend of mine of 50 years told me to check my PH lever.  Was so low, I couldn't beleive it.  Disolve 2 Tsp of Baking Soda, as per his instrution and 1 Tsp Dark Molasses with it in a glass of water daily, started September 15, 2011.

On October 3rd I checked my PSA, went down to 9.06!!!

Checked again October 17, 2011, DOWN 2.79 now, how in  the heck can that happen?  My SURGEON when asked the first time I seen him if it was possible for the PSA to go down.  SAID, NO WAY, PERHAPS A LITTLE AFTER 4 MOTNHS OF TREATMENT.  I ALSO ASKED THE RADIOLOGIST, SAME ANSWER.  WOULD SOMEONE KNOW ANYTHING about THAT?  OR HAD ALMIGHTY GOT INTO THIS, WHICH I DO NOT BELIEVE IT ANYWAY, BECOMING AN NON BELIEVER SINCE MY 20 YEAR OLD SON DIED IN A CAR ACCIDENT YEARS AGO?

PSA Level Blood Tests of 2.79 and the very first one when I was having a hard time urinating, suspecting a health issue urinating, was by a Doctor friend of our family, he gave me the authorization, which allowed me to go to the lab for the test. The very firt one is the one he warned I had Prostate Cancer, and passed me on to the Professional 2 which deal with these issures. The Second PSA Test was authorized by the Surgeon. I also have a Radiation Professional. Thank Goodness I am in Canada, all my health problem are free, nada, no pay. Even the Lupron shot costs the governement $1,546 each. Next one for me is in February, 2012. Of course, we paid into it, each pay, 1.5% Big Deal!

PH Level is done with strips one buys in the Health food stores. The one I have cost $8.95 and has 80 testing strips, which you test daily, twice at least. It is called pH-Pro (TM) www.pH-Pro.ca if you wish to visit them.

Follow up on my PSA level, guys.  Very confusing.   I am supposed to be a Gleason Score 9/10.  What started this was the PSA level in August 2011, 14.7.  I drank each day (Advised by my daughter who is in Natural Herb doesn't believe in big Pharma or Doctors)  2 teaspoon full  of Baking Soda and 1 teaspoon full of Molasses in a glass of water.

She said that this drink will KILL the cancer  cells.

PSA leve in October 3, down to 2.79.  Oncologist told me to take 50Mg Bicalutamide each day.  October 15, PSA down to 2.79.  October 17, a shot of Lurpon Depot 30Mg.

Kept taking the Baking soda solution each day.

This week.  PSA Level 1.06.

?????  What is going on?  Radiologist suspect 17mm on the Sacrum, after an MRI.  Stated NOT 100% Cancer, but it is suspected.  Got to have another MRI in February and another visit after this to the Oncologist and the Radiologist. I hope I am not dying a Slow Death here.  Gee, I swim 1,000 metres daily (Aprox. 1,150 yards for you Americans) and work out at home in my own Gym in the basement, eat mostly fruit/Veggies and Fish.  Why is this happening to me?  I am,other than this, in great health, feel no pain.  Nada.  Not bad for a 71 year old.  However.....

Hi Jean Claude, - I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your son, someWhile I am sure that your daughter loves you and means only the best for you, in my opinion and with all due respect,I believe her beliefs are misguided. If you truly have a Gleason (4+5)=9, I can assure you that there is NO scientifically based evidence that baking soda and molasses can have any permanent, favorable effect on your high-risk Prostate Cancer (PCa). But, first I have a question for you. If you are 71 years old, why does your signature information say 63 year old male? If this number came from your Pathology Report, I would suggest that you first check to see if that report is really yours and there was not a mix-up in patient identification.

Once we are SURE that these are actually your results and are accurately transmitted, there are other possible explanations for your reduction in PSA readings, but accuracy in dates and drugs are of prime importance. Certainly, your more recent PSA reductions are clearly expected, due to the use of Casadex (bicalutemide) and Lupron (leuprolide). The reported "NONSPECIFIC circomscribed sclerotic lesion within sacrum" ,simply means there is a lesion seen on IMAGING, that could not be SPECIFICALLY identified as to cause, but COULD be a possible metastasis. It is not always possible to distinguish between old fractures, arthritic changes and metastases in the earlier stages, which is why they will monitor the size of the lesion, on future imaging results, for further changes (or lack thereof).

I hope this has helped your understanding and that you check the report, IF it is the source of your age discrepancy. Good luck! - [email protected] (aka) az4peaks

Thank You, everyene for a reply. It looks as though I am not alone in fighting this thing called Prostate Cancer.

Do you know what really peeved me off? For many years, my accountant was told to give The Cancer Society $10,000. Of course, most of that, the Gov paid for (Tax Deduct). BUT WHY HAVE THEY NOT DONE SOMETHING about CANCER CELLS? I wonder how much the CEO gets. for wages and annual bonuses. I now think we've all being scammed, giving anything to these thieves. Yeah, we should give them something in return: A good Case of Cancer.

Hi, guys! Please, can someone tell me what this Ding, ding! Ding,ding! Alarm bells going off. means?

Something to do with my health? Is this statement good or bad?

I am not sure what you are talking about. Yes, I did check my PH with strips bought from the drug store. Originally, the PH didn't even show up on the strips. After I did what my daugher said to do, the PH went up 7.5 and more. Urine test, by the way.

My BP is as of yesterday, 137/86. I did it 3 times jsut to ascertain I was doing this right: that is the average.

Are you telling me I have an expiry date on me? I am a Canadian, all have been paid for by our Government. it is something, of course, WE paid for in our businesses; Employee paid 1 % of their wages, our company paid 1 1/2% call Health tax. Something you guys shoud think about on having. If I am checking out please, I ought to know.

In Aurora, 20 Km North of Toronto. I am 71 years old.

That is not mine.  I am 71 years old.  This is 2011.  Biopsy reported to all you guys wa 12 taken 12 cancerous.  85% accordng to these hot shot doctors.

I am not sure what you guys are talking about as 65 or 61 old I am not.

I did go there, and changed it. I am not sure how this all got mixed up, but I am 71, PSA August 14.7
October 3, PSA 9.06
Occober 15 PSA 2.79
November 25, PSA 1.06

How did this happen?

Bronso, where do you live? Somewhere in Ontario, I would think. I think you are a nice person, by the way.

Being 71 years old, I thought their would be serious side effect on Lupron. Unless it is unknow to me, I feel good, no side effect that I know of, yet.

She thinks the reason my PSA is donw to 1.06 is because of the Baking Soda & Molasses mix. My PSA went right down, without any medication, whatsever, until October 15. October 3rd, it was down to 2.79. Used Nada. for pills as yet. So, no one is robatic, and I am an individual things that might work for me and no others. Who knows?

However, I had the shot done October 15 last. The four months one: 30Mg.
My Daughter has a very strong belief about Natural Herbs and such. She cured my Grand Daughters where the Dotors stated that there was no cure. It is the desease where one swears, curses for no reasons whatsoever. That was about 12 years ago. The Greand Kids are now 19 and the other 22 years old, Girls. No more sign of this nasty disease. Got It: La Tourette Syndrome, invented by a French "Medecin" a long time ago. She used her own devices, and now no sign of it any longer. By the way, she also told me to use what is called (mention of an illegal drug removed per forum rules - 142)

Sorry about that......>Jean Claude

One buys a Blue Strip book from your Drug Store, or a Health store. eBays also has a lot cheaper. 3 Books for $4.00 includes shipping.

Drug store: $8.95 plus tax for the aame thing for only one book of strips.

As advised by the drug store, you urinate a little on one of the strips. By the way, the small book has 80 strips in it. Follow the color instructions listed on the book for your exact measure. 7 is even. Lower means your blood is not oxiginated properly. Mine, did not even read at all when I used it for the first time. It stayed the same color as I got it before usage. Now I am up to around 7.5 to 8.00. The higher PH is suppose to kill cancer cells. Or at least starve them. They enjoy blood that is NOT oxiginated properly and hate oxygen. That is what I understand. It won't kill me to do it, anyway. So, I've been doing this for about 2 1/2 months now everyday. My PSA went down to 1.06, started at 14.7 when I first knew I had cancer, last August. Went down to 9.0, down to 2.79 and today 1.06. I am not sure what to make of this. The doctor told me that Lupron will have it going down but not for a few weeks.
