Dr. V, If you are taking supplements which contain chondroitin sulfate or iron, I would reconsider. (I haven't posted here in years, forgot how to make these references "clickable"....
BillyBob asks . . . Are you taking any supplements? Billy, I'm taking Methyl B-12, in the form of Methylcobalamin. I'm using enough to bring my B-12 level to about 600 pg/mL, up from the mid-100's. I...
A new PSA reading of 0.243 on 1 Sept. 2020. Last reading was 0.305 on 19 Feb. 2020. That equates to a PSA "half life" of 19.22 months. My highest "post treatment" PSA was 0.525 on 26 Nov. 2018, when...
BillyBob, I don't think ginger would be the cause of the PSA rise. As for vitamin b-12, i'm using "METHYL B-12" about 1000 mcg per "week" total. Someone told me that the "METHYL" could have made a...
Fifteen months ago my PSA was 0.525. Last four test results were 0.415, 0.363, 0.312 and 0.305 (on 2/19/20). This was achieved with diet and moderate exercise. I'm not taking any meds for PC, and the...
NotBubba says: I have questions . . . Did you have a similar type reduction in LDL? ** Yes! LDL = 90 to 100, VLDL = 10-12 now; and LDL = 160 to 170, VLDL = 34-76 pre-diet. Is there a strong (more...
BillyBob, The diet has also lowered total cholesterol by some 75 points (250 down to 175) and my HDL (62) is now higher than my triglycerides (52). A1c is now between 4.9 to 5.2. The diet is heart...
fiddlecanoe, I don't see cancer-related doctors anymore. My GP has been indifferent until this year, where the results have been rather good. Now, he is following what I'm doing closely. Cashless...
Pratoman, my PSA "tracks" my adherence to the diet. PSA goes up when I "stray" from the diet, and down when I don't. By stray, I don't mean I have lunch at the local fast food place. But rather, I...
One year ago my PSA was 0.525. This week result is 0.363. This was achieved with diet and moderate exercise. I'm not taking any meds for PC, and the only supplements I'm taking are B12 and D3. My...
Halbert says. . . "Not exactly: taking care of ourselves--eating healthy, exercise, etc., is all valuable. However, to claim that adjusting one's diet by adding 3 blueberries a day, or something like...
This is what a working diet looks like. Last three PSAs: 0.427 0.424 0.431 The question becomes, if you could, do you really want to kill off most of the cancer cells and risk mutations that are...
Another PSA result, 0.427; giving us 0.442, 0.435, 0.416, (0.312, 0.370), and 0.427. I believe that the 0.312 and 0.370 values were not Labcorp measurement errors, but also not representative of...
A well functioning orchestra takes careful selection of people, and detailed instructions. Put those same instruments in the hands of the football team, and you will not get the same result. So, lets...
BillyBob, The last 5 PSA tests are: 0.525, 0.442, 0.435, 0.416 and 0.370. Looking over the data, it appears that the roll back capability has been helped by the Vitamin D3 and dietary Vitamin K2...
From on one the references above. . . > Servan-Schreiber's diet was very similar to the one I'm using. This is a difficult diet to maintain at home, and to do so while he "criss-crossed the globe,...
I did the PSA "retest", and it came in at 0.370. a value that is consistent with the trend of past tests. So, I'm treating the "0.312" as an outlier. The last 5 PSA tests are: 0.525, 0.442, 0.435,...
Paul, I never tracked my intake of carbs, fat and protein. I have no limit on carbs overall, but severely restrict "fast" carbs. No added sugar, no refined flour, no white rice, no starchy...
My view is that the purpose of any unconventional intervention that we use (diet, exercise, supplements) is to create an environment that is hostile to cancer cell growth. This can include direct...
"Unexpected results" can be a powerful source of knowledge. If you're experimenting with diet, and the PSA comes back right where you expected it, you have learned little. Perhaps a little more...
TJ123 says: " My PSA was on a small, but continuous uptick for years before my doc said it was time for a urology referral. It never decreased. Always increased UNTIL my GP told me to start taking...
BillyBob, As I see it, there are two < signs. First, it's not detected because there is nothing to detect. Second is it's less than the detection threshold, but it does exist. I would not want to...
Another PSA reading. This last one was 0.312 for 4/22/19. The last 5 PSA values are 0.525, 0.442, 0.435, 0.416 and 0.312. The last value was totally unexpected and NOT what I wanted. I was hoping for...
BillyBob, concerning insulin . . . I have ruined excellent diets by: 1. Pre-soaking oatmeal before cooking. 2. Cooking oatmeal with too much water. 3. Adding too much almond milk. 4. Adding too much...
BillyBob, I believe they call it "halving time", similar to half life, or the time it takes for PSA to drop by 50%. So, for example, if you could find a diet that has a "halving time" equal to the...
Got another PSA reading, 0.416. The last 4 values are: 0.525, 0.442, 0.435 and 0.416. It looks as if the diet has "roll back" capability which would allow some (albeit very small) flexibility in the...
Eighteen months worth of PSAs using a vegan plus seafood diet. (Wild caught salmon, herring, scallops, and squid work best.) 0.461, 0.448, 0.455, 0.447, 0.483, 0.458, 0.439, 0.461, 0.486, 0.514,...
The nutrition studies related to cancer that I have looked at seem to contain the same faulty premise. For example, If vitamin "Z" is under investigation, they will compare the higher levels to lower...

Yes. The diet is not intended to be a cure. I have not yet tested the best diet to see how low I can take PSA, nor do I intend to. To do so, would risk the emergence of mutations that could be...

Billy Bob says - - - "I can take my triglycerides from over 200 to under 50, no drugs required. I can reverse that by reversing the dietary changes I made, then take it back the other way. I know of...
Wilderness, It's my view that nutrition researchers do not yet understand that "moderation" does not work for cancer. So, cohort studies are unlikely to work. Comparing the top quintile of something...

AK, do you know your vitamin D blood serum levels? If it is on the low end, you might consider using the diet that gave you the slight PSA decrease, and supplement vit-D until you reach the mid-40's...
BillyBob and F8, Cancer cell patterns are continuous over the grade scale, as I understand it. So, for a particular group of cells, someone calls it a "3", another a "4", but both may have agreed on...
