Dr Charles ("Snuffy") Myers Supplements and Complementary Meds protocol - advice

Hi Everyone. I am always reading about the above well-regarded Medico's supplements protocol for men with PCa. However nobody actually lists the details, apart from a few random items, such as turmeric, pomegranate or metformin etc.
I'm wondering whether anyone could actually list the supplements/meds Dr Myers recommends (in detail), as I would love to ensure they are part of GG's diet, going forward.
Appreciate any/all advice on the subject.
Thanks so much.

I'm pretty good at following these, except for the no coffee recommendation. Other recommendations say to drink lots of coffee, so who knows?

Dr Myers made this great comment in a December 2010 PAACT article (http://www.paactusa.org/):

"I do find it amazing that many patients and even cancer physicians do not understand the basics of a healthy diet."

See the current thread on how diet affects overall survival in PC patients...

What myers laid for me was similar to what is described above (this was in 2012)
- lycopene
- vitamin D (I tested as deficient, you can get this test done)
- resveratrol
- statin (I was already on this)
- curcumin
- pom extract
- avodart --> this to him was an essential part of the mix, but of course it is not a supplement. This part is very controversial if you talk to other docs.

he did not advise calcium, magnesium or melatonin in my case. he said metformin is useful in a pt who is overweight but not otherwise. However, in the past couple years there was a published research report on metformin which did not find it helpful at a statistically significant level, in delaying progression. But this report was not out at the time I saw Myers.

he did not wave me off coffee. he is a big proponent of mediterranean diet saying this is the only thing that has proven to extend life. In particular, for a patient on antiandrogen there is a significantly elevated risk of cardiovascular problems, and prostate cancer patients on ADT are more likely to die of heart attack or stroke than die of PC. So of course the mediterranean diet is good for that too.

OTOH Ornish found strong protective value in a diet that is essentially vegetarian, in conjunction with exercise, stress reduction, meditation. There is a respectable published research report on this co-authored with Peter Carroll at UCSF. And Mark Scholz a respected med onc, says he's seen a lot of patients improve on a diet that is close to macrobiotic, but that is a very difficult diet to comply with.
