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.

Aloha Alan M,
A couple of comments. I am somewhat thin, 6' 1" and after the Navy in 59, I've been between 150 & 170 lbs, currently at 165 lbs. I also was big on tomatoes for 20 yrs or so before PCa. I have been exercising for the past 40 years and still off road bicycle & do an inside floor routine for six days/week. Exercise is one of two things that have kept me from going bannanas.
What I'm trying to say here is that when you have aggressive PCa, it does not matter what you eat or take. I did not have a family history of PCa, there were a few cancers.
On a positive note, my nerve pain in de feet has over the past few months become more bearable to the point of being able to wearing work & hiking boots again. I credit this (see earlier post feeding your mitochondria)to eating 2 lbs of mixed veggies (different colors)/day, switching to grass fed beef, and taking those 2 fish oil caps/day. Try as we might, we both do not like eating fish & chicken & turkey just don't give me the energy I need.
I think that we each should try what ever we want. If that makes life more bearable, do it. I've tried many supplements, just a waste of good money.

Yep, supplements are a waste of money. I recently viewed a dvd: knives over forks (or forks over knives...). You can get it through Amazan or if you have NetFlix. It will confirm that a plant based diet is THE ONLY WAY TO GO. Believe me, watch this and it will answer ALL your questions regarding diet.
Prostate Cancer is mentioned many times and WHY it occurs...
