In my ongoing research on Pb I came across a particular supplement that seems to be gaining much interest in research circles, especially with regards to potential use as an antioxidant and anti-cancer treatment.
Berkley, UC, are heavily into the research and even have their own formulation available on mail-order.
It's called 3,3 diindolylmethane (DIM), and it is formed in small amounts in the body from brassica/cruciferaceae vegetables.
It seems linked to CB1 and CB2 cannabinoid receptors in the GI tract, and cannabidiol oil (CBD) itself has a growing body of evidence to support its use in prevention and spread of some cancer cell lines.
I keep straying across interesting plants and phytochemicals that may be of interest to you.
The latest two are used in traditional Chinese medicine, and have been showing promise for prevention and relapse of prostate and other cancer cell lines.
Magnolia officianalis (hou po), which contains magnolol and honokiol is the first. You can find the basics on Wikipedia and a bit more about it here:
and Phellodendron amurense, or Amur cork tree (huáng bò), which contains berberine, quercetin, and "Nexrutine" (a product derived from the species). Likewise, Wikipedia has a brief blurb about it, and a bit of further information can be found here:
Don't want to keep overloading you with stuff so I'll leave it for now, but I did find it interesting that these turned up while I've been specifically researching detoxification from heavy metals. Seems some plants and their constituents have rather broad-spectrum positive benefits.
I have also listened to a very interesting podcast on TRT & in it the Doctor went against beliefs & said testosterone is not the devil & is actually protective of the prostate. I can dig up the episode if you are interested?
Yes I still think you have to keep your mind open. Just like your interesting stack on Auschwitz makes me skeptical about what we are told. Here’s the link to that TRT podcast one of the most interesting parts is the history of how testosterone got painted as the boogie man! https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/muscle-intelligence/id1448211060?i=1000615690428
Walt is right: get it checked. I was in hospital to have a chunk of my riddled colon removed, and on a whim asked to have my prostate checked (for the first time, aged 68). I had no symptoms at all. It was riddled: the whole thing had to be removed.
The usual symptoms are frequent need to pee, getting up a few times in the night to pee, and difficulty starting (and sometimes stopping) to pee. I had none of those symptoms, except since I was a teenager I've got up to pee in the night, usually two or three times -- double that if it's beer night.

The standard treatment of cancer is to target cancer cells. Alternative treatments based on the metabolic aspects have been around for decades but discouraged because of the influence of Big Pharma which sells cancer drugs that can cost $100,000 per year.

"Integrative Oncology. Provision of care by a “true integrative oncologist” is the preferred
model of care for the patient with cancer. An integrative oncologist is dual qualified/certified

countries in Asia — by default most oncologists are dually trained and function as
integrative oncologists. This is distinct from the United States, Australia, and some European

Integrative oncology involves a multidisciplinary team with caregivers committed to an

My story of prostate cancer treatment. My PSA score was rising up to 2.9 in 2002. Had blood in urine and referred to a surgeon and had a TURP in 2003. TURP = transurethral resection of the prostate which is understood as a roto rooter (drain clearing) of the prostate. In those days it was done by taking small scoops of tissue. 2 of 90 chips had cancer which was Gleason graded as 3=3.
In the summer of 2003 I had the prostate was surgically removed. The cancer had not escaped the envelope. My PSA scores have been very low and at one time they were 0.0. These days they are undetectable.
To control unary leakage, I had an artificial sphincter surgically installed in 2010. The first one was leaking so I had a second one installed in 2017. I have to go to the bathroom on time and about once per week I have a leakage that can come out of nowhere. The sphincter is AMS 800. I have been satisfied with this device.
In the US if one is cancer free for 5 years it is no longer necessary to consult a cancer doctor. Because I had a device installed, I went for yearly visits and PSA tests until 2 years ago and may never go back again.
Hi Walt,
Hope I find you well.
In my ongoing research on Pb I came across a particular supplement that seems to be gaining much interest in research circles, especially with regards to potential use as an antioxidant and anti-cancer treatment.

Just thought it might arouse your interest.
All the best.

Thank you, I will take a look.

Have you read this stack? https://open.substack.com/pub/unbekoming/p/the-great-prostate-hoax?r=344l4s&utm_medium=ios

Thanks for your comment.
Well I looked at some of it but I think it is nonsense.
As I said before, the PSA is a screening test. Like the roadside breathalyser.
I failed the test, so I went to hospital for the real test.
It was seven years ago, I forget exactly. I remember having an MRI scan and a camera shoved about a metre up my intestine.
These tests proved that I had prostate cancer.
I then had to wait about a year before I could have the radiography.
Why did I not die of cancer spreading through my body in that year?
Because I had the testosterone blocking medicine which prevented the cancer from developing further.
Game, set and match, I think.
Yes I still think you have to keep your mind open. Just like your interesting stack on Auschwitz makes me skeptical about what we are told.
