Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Tony (and group): I started taking Sutherlandia OPC on 7/25/08, and I am now on my second bottle. I started IP-6 and Inosterol [along with Flax Hull Lignans] on 6/20/08. I have prostate cancer. Here are my numbers after my recent PSA test: Date || PSA || PSADT Ref. || <4.0 || > 2.51 04/25/02 || 04.7 baseline PSA 05/19/03 || 05.5 03/29/06 || 13.9 || 2.51 06/29/06 3-month injection of Zoladex 07/25/06 || 05.9 || ---- 08/11/06 || 02.0 || ---- 09/07/06 3-month injection of Lupron 10/03/06 || 00.9 || ---- 11/16/06 aborted ADT (and chemo) 05/22/07 || 01.8 || ---- 06/01/07 started testosterone replacement 06/29/07 || 04.8 || ---- 08/14/07 || 07.2 || ---- 10/23/07 || 16.8 || 2.99 11/27/07 || 18.2 || 2.87 01/02/08 || 19.4 || 2.78 01/24/08 || 25.0 || 2.39 02/12/08 started taking Avodart to control DHT 03/11/08 || 20.9 || 2.73 04/30/08 stopped taking Avodart [after 79 days] 06/10/08 || 23.0 || 2.68 06/20/08 || started taking IP-6 & Inosterol 07/22/08 || 31.3 || 2.28 07/25/08 || started taking Sutherlandia OPC 07/31/08 went back on Avodart to control DHT 08/16/08 stopped taking Avodart [after 16 days] 09/02/08 || 20.6 || 2.98 Since I am also taking maintenance Laetrile (Vitamin B-17) therapy [with 4 tspns ground apricot kernels] and Essiac Tea, it is difficult to know exactly what product is causing what. I am currently taking no prescription drugs other than topical testosterone gel/cream to restore and maintain proper hormone balance after coming off ADT (androgen deprivation therapy), which I terminated 11/16/06. My PSADT (PSA doubling time) is now at 2.98 years as compared to 2.51 years at the time of my diagnosis with prostate cancer by needle biopsy two years ago. I have not yet reversed the process of the cancer, but at least the rate of growth is now moving in the right direction. My PSA needs to drop below 13.9 [without hormone therapy of any sort, including Avodart], before I have any clear evidence that the cancer is in regression. Duane Christensen Dx 6/06 @ 68, bPSA 13.9, bPSADT 2.51 yrs, T2c Gl 3+3 {reread 4+3 @ Johns Hopkins} | ADT (5 mns) & chemo (2 mns) aborted 11/16/06) | Protocel 19 mns (11/06-6/08) | Laetrile (1/08); w/ Essiac Tea, IP-6, Flax Hull Lignans (6/08) & Sutherlandia OPC (7/08).
