Another "Natural" success story

I'm not the only one using natural methods to address my prostate cancer.  Posted with permission, here's Barry's story.

.........................................................
My story…diagnosed with Gleason 3+3 five years ago, only one core positive.  Biopsy the following year also 3+3 in one core.  Waited two more years and had a prostate MRI that came back negative (MRI screens out tumors under Gleason 7).  Last month, had my third biopsy and it came back cancer free, could not even find Gleason 6 disease.

Upon diagnosis five years ago, went vegetarian, tried to eliminate all processed foods, daily supplements include turmeric, saw palmetto, and vitamin D.  Plus take a “superfoods” supplement twice a day.  Regular exercise regimen…I bike, hike, backpack, Stairmaster at home, light weights.  Only drink water with lemon, some kombucha, and an occasional glass of pinot noir (highest concentration of resveratrol, cancer fighter).

My PSA ranges from 4.0-7.0 due to BPH and an enlarged prostate (44 grams).  PSA is only a relative test and as long as it stays below 10, my doc is OK with it.

But happy I chose active surveillance over surgery and will continue doing what I am doing, seems to be working for me.  I am much more likely to die on one of my backpacking trips than from prostate cancer!

God blessed us with amazing bodies that can do incredible things, as long as we take care of them!

Be blessed,
Tom
