Jan and

Thanks for the various comments I have received on psoting. I do take
2 servings of a Calcium plus magnesium cpsule daily and also take
2 and sometimes 3 Melatonin 3 gm capsules each night. I used to take
just one 3 gm capsule of Melatonin until I read something by Donsbach
and then in an article in Life Extension Magazine, advising up to 9 to
12 gms of Melatonin a night. I have the PH paper but have'nt checked
my ph for a while. In the past it was on the border of alkile and acidic.

I think my problems may be helped with some High does TRT for a while.
But the physician is probably going to recommend Fosamax. My brother
who is a retired physician in England and a couple of years older than
me told me today that he has been taking Fosamax for three years
without side effects. I am reluctant to get hooked on a drug until I
have explored other options. For now I am stopping the Prostasol,
eating more eggs and fish and will have my PSA and T checked in
another three weeks at which time I will see if my oncologist, having
read the Leibowitz article on High Dose Testosterone Replacement
Therapy that I gave him, is willing to work with me while I experiment
with that approach for a few months to assess the difference.

Cheers,
Seerwise
