HI,

In my own expereinces over the last eleven years, and especially the last
two, I am beginning to wonder about some things.

Yesterday a man was here who has a PSA of 12. He is a veteran and working
through a VA hospital. He does not know his gleason score. He is 67.

There has been no treatment, just watchful waiting.

He has used FO/CC for about two years. During that period of time his PSA
has gone up at the rate of 2 points every 6 months. The doctor at the VA
hospital says that next time he may give him a shot.

One of the attributes of the Flaxseed oil is the inhibition of metastasis.
What is now in his mind, is that he will take one 28 day shot of Lupron, or
a better hormone blocker, [I haven't kept up with this too much] and see how
far it knocks the PSA down.

One 28 day shot after eleven months took mine from 23 to 7.8 with a quite
aggressive PCa, along with FO/CC and Beta Glucan with high vitamin C and in
spite of getting quite careless with diet. My wife hates to make menus and
I give up and eat meat and things. I try to cut down on sugar.

If his comes down as much as should be expected, he will quit it and stay
with the flax oil.

Maybe a couple of years later he will take another shot. My Oncologist
feels as though he could keep that up through a normal life time.

If I could turn back the clock to 1991 knowing what I know now, I believe I
would have tried that route myself. Along with other alternative approaches
of which I am becoming aware, I should be able to beat this thing, even with
an initial dx of Advanced PCa and a rather dire expectation on the part of
the doctor.

It appears that I am beating it anyway, though I did feel a need to use a
touch of standard treatment recently. With a few things I know about now
but haven't tried, I might have been able to avoid even that.

Of course, with 31, at least, different strains of PCa each situation is a
little different. However, most are not as aggressive as mine is, and mine
may be even more aggressive after eleven years. There is no way to know
without a Biopsy which I am not going to do or a trip somewhere for a
doppler which I am not going to pay for.
