Hi Ziggy,
--- "It's very common those newly diagnosed develop an instant hunt and beliefs in miracle supplements."
Hmmm. Well, I don't consider myself newly diagnosed since I was diagnosed with PC early last August. Coming up on 8 months since the DX.
"An instant hunt and beliefs in miracle supplements"? Huh? Didn't think anything I wrote or the gist of the video was about
"miracle supplements." The TED speaker did present a chart that listed among the foodstuffs likely to inhibit angeiogenesiss are common mainstream foods like many fruits and vegetables and spices. Here's the link again.
www.ted.com/talks/william_li --- "I'm sure western diet is a PCa factor but you can't undo in a few months decades of past diet."
This sounds reasonable to me. Broadly, I believe any effort to eat a more balanced, healthier, more nutritious diet is a step in the right direction. True, a few months of eating nutritious food isn't going to undo decades of past American diet.
I'm always
open to exploring new things. If something works, good. And if eating better doesn't make a difference, nothing lost. It's hard to eat nutritious food all the time. I should know. In the interest of full disclosure, yesterday I ate a big cup of chocolate-vanilla swirl non-fat frozen yogurt at COSTCO. Good nutrition wasn't a consideration. Yum! I did my due diligence after-the-fact and learned the 2nd most prominent ingredient was sugar, and the 3rd most prominent ingredient was corn syrup. Oh well.
Tall Allen wrote, "Unfortunately, most of the angiogenesis inhibitors tried for PC have not worked out. The one exception may be Tasquinimod." I think the TED talk was from 2010, so perhaps some of the interest and excitement back then in angiogenesis inhibitors has cooled since then. Everything is constantly shifting and changing. And well-intentioned people are entitled to say whatever they want to say, whenever they want to say it.
