Month 26
January 24, 2026 Well, it’s been a while since posting. I have been traveling extensively, enjoying an awesome Holiday Cruise offered by the Italian Cruise line, MSC. After hearing mixed reviews for MSC, we came away with a very favorable impression. The standard rooms were generously sized, and the upgrade to an unobstructed balcony was…

Best of Science to Everyone ! December 20, 2025 Merry Christmas or other Holiday over the Winter Break. I teach part time and look forward to the week off. I did get a capsule making machine, but I am undecided whether it will be Apigenin or Luteolin as a hand-made supplement. The best to everyone.…

Apigenin Strategy
I didn’t realize until recently how important Apigenin turns out to be in my fight against PCa. As my research broadened, Genistein also came into the picture as a significant fighter of PCa. The anticancer efficacies of these two flavones can be confirmed by in-vitro and in-vivo studies. (1) Here is another key research paper that shows that “Apigenin…

Month 24
November 26, 2025 Another blogger suggests Luteolin is the better researched and more promising anti PCa micronutrient as compared to Apigenin. And I am already taking large amounts of Punicic Acid through pomegranate seed oil. How do I properly step up either Luteolin or Apigenin to demonstrated levels of PCa cellular kills ? And how…

October 31, 2025 Hi Everyone. Just wanted to report out that my liver enzymes have been normal throughout my 2 years of AS/Veganism/Supplements. In case you haven’t been following the conversation, I got an email from another ASer about his liver enzymes being moderately out of the normal range. I just happened to have my…

September 14, 2025 Hi Everyone. I’m back from my probably once-in-a-lifetime travel summer. It was exhausting as much as it was fun, and I have started my new year at high school math, where I teach part time. May they exhaustion continue? One poster passed along an interesting question that has lead to some new…

Month 20
August 29, 2025 Closing in on the end of the month and checking out of yet another hotel in London, its a busy and exciting time with my daughter’s wedding on the 30th. I am trying to commit myself to posting something every day for another week or so to the new Reddit PCa AS…

Here’s How I Am Doing It !
Life is good for me, 20 months into Active Surveillance. I continue to be asymptomatic. My stream has returned to normal and my prostate is 12% smaller, without Finasteride. My PSA was over 6, now it’s 3. My 1.4 cm lesion PIRADS 4 on MRI 1 vanished on MRI 2 a year later, at the…

Months 17, 18, and 19
July 4, 2005 Well, it’s been a while and I have some new news. I have been focusing on PSO, luteolin, and elegiac acid, with a smattering of other supplements. I have taken out the Rosemary / Ursolic Acid. I have two types of PSO, and I chose one to go with. Another AS-oriented individual…

Months 15 and 16
April 29, 2025 Who would think after a long break not posting anything, then the day after the April 28th post, I get a reply to a 5 month old social media post where the poster talks about his Dad who was diagnosed at 63 with PCa who did something similar to what I am…

Month 14
February 21, 2025 Well, Good news and bad news. While the new lesion was benign, and there is no signs of metastatic activity, although microscopically anything could be happening. Unfortunately, four random cores in the vicinity of the original tumor were 3/4. Three of those were 10% Grade 4 and one was 20% Grade 4.…

January 25, 2025 update Well, for one, it’s my twin daughters birthday. They helped me get this site going and encouraged me along the way. My second biopsy is February 7. It’s not necessary like the first one since my tumor is low suspect for PC, but since I am already on AS, I will…

The Existential Life of an AS Guy
“What do we mean by that?” , “Yeah, what do we mean by that?” Exact quotes or not, Soupy Sales and Fang come to mind. Is it OK for an Active Surveillance (AS) Guy comment in non-AS forums? A fair number of folks have questioned whether an AS guy should be posting in advanced prostate…

Final Update made on December 29, 2024 Happy New Year Everyone. This final week has been filled with excitement along with continued guarded optimism.

Pomegranate Seed Oil Strategy
As I repeatedly researched Pomegranates and Pomegranate Juice (PJ), it would become inevitable that I would run across Pomegranate Seed Oil (PSO). I quickly recognized that perhaps Pomegranate’s remarkable PC fighting power was due to PSO. And then after continued analysis, I discovered that the rest of the pomegranate should be included in the strategy…
-
Ursolic Acid Strategy
August 17, 2025 Update For a while now, I have been using a Ground Rosemary in my Morning Routine. It absorbs more completely and contains other good things, such as rosmarinic acid, carsonic acid, and carnosol. I complement the ground rosemary with an Xanthohumol supplement, Ground Pepper, a UA supplement, and cranberry juice. The Ursolic…
-
Pomegranate Juice (PJ) Strategy
An early thing I adopted, PJ goes well with Elegiac Acid and Luteolin. My preferred PJ is 100% PJ, not from concentrate. And my Elegiac Acid and Luteolin supplements have remained relatively unchanged unless the Luteolin goes out of stock. The Juice is $9 a bottle for 33.4 oz and I’ve been drinking 6oz a…
-
Resveratrol Strategy
Getting a lot of publicity in the past due to its presence in red wine, Resveratrol is another PC cancer fighter which, according to the research, works well with Quercetin. So I have them both in my supplement strategy when I count out a week’s worth into 14 cups at my sink. One of both…

Flaxseed Strategy
This research study showed that three ounces of milled flaxseed a day slowed the rate of PSA increase. “Our observation of lower proliferation rates with flaxseed supplementation is consistent with our previous in vitro work in LNCaP, DU-145, and PC-3 prostate cancer cell lines, which also found inhibited cell growth with exposure to flaxseed-derived lignans (8)”. There are many…
