This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
My buddy has been getting his PSA tested for the past two years ever since I had my prostate removed. He is 61. His #'s were high ( not sure how high ) but I told him about Pomegranite Juice which he started drinking copious amounts of every day. Now his PSA # has dropped markedly and he feels relieved. Does this drop mean anything or can the pomegranite be masking or just delaying his problem?
PSA is NOT prostate cancer specific, so a 'high' PSA test, or one that falls, is more likely to have nothing to do with PCa and more to do with other issues, like prostatitis, bladder infections etc etc.
Can I suggest you go along toPSA 101 - and perhaps print it off for your buddy, or else go to STRANGE PLACE and, if you think it would help your pal, give me his postal address and I'll send him a hard copy at no charge.
Thanks Terry. That was great info. I'll let him know. I'm from Ontario Canada and it is really really cold here with snow on the ground. Good weather for a nice glass of red wine and to watch a good hockey game. Thanks again. Great site.
