Month 12
Final Update made on December 29, 2024 Happy New Year Everyone. This final week has been filled with excitement along with continued guarded optimism. After spending 3 days on holiday with my daughters who came from afar to visit and after me cheating a little on my diet, but having my supplements packed for the…

Strategies Overview
To understand HOW and WHY I order and take certain things together, and what actually made me decide to undertake this entire processes see these two links: This is HOW I am doing it . This is WHY I am doing it . What follows now is an explanation of how certain supplements work according…

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…
-
Capsiasin Strategy
Capsaisin, found in chili paper, or cayenne pepper, has a rich history of fighting PC as can be seen from this search in Google Scholar. I bought a five pound pouch a couple of years back for another purpose, but now eat as much as I can in many foods I eat. Here is an…
-
Clean Water / Air / Food Strategy
Food, Water and Air. This was the first strategy that I adopted. It was neither University Level, nor Google Scholar level research-based driven, as so much of my lifestyle choices have been during my first year. While not a heavy drinker, I stopped drinking alcohol completely, and I stopped eating meat, eggs, and dairy. I…

My Morning Routines after 1 year and 2 years
Because I have been asked repeatedly , “How do you do this,physically?”, I have created now three videos. I have added the Counter Routine after 2 years, since it has been updated substantially. I also have a new pill routine, but I need to get to that also. See WHY I decided to undertake this…

Month 11
Further Research on Rosemary Month 11 has some time off for me from teaching, and I have become more curious about Rosemary. In particular, I have wondered about getting a ground version for more thorough ingestion of the ursolic acid it has been meant to replace. But the closer I have looked at Rosemary, the…

Months 9 and 10
Work keeps me busy, so I am combining months. Month 9 starts with a return to teaching. It will be Calculus, PreCalculus and co-teaching an Integrated Math class, September through Mid December. So I finally have a free moment and am reporting out at the end of October for both months. Month 10 ends with…

Month 8
Following-Up with My Care Team Part One Month 8 starts with my Urologist Video-conference. We have upgraded to face-to-face grainy video. He had to admit that a drop from 6.4 to 4.7 to 3.3 was highly unusual, especially since I experienced no other drops in 8 years. Again he speculates, “Could it be that drastic…
-
Month 7
Well, I couldn’t wait any longer. Even though my urologist meeting was 3 or 4 weeks out, I went ahead and readied myself for the next PSA test and had it done. The highlight of month 7 was getting the 3.3 Score ! I can’t wait to discuss it with my doctors. Two significant drops…
-
Month 6
Month 6 also starts with just steady-as-she-goes reordering, pill counting, and oil concoction creation/ordering and drinking/eating. I read Rapeseed Oil improves the bioavailability of ursolic acid, that great prostate cancer killer. (Effect and mechanism of edible oil co-digestion on the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of ursolic acid) And this Rapeseed Oil comes in a glass bottle…
-
Month 4
Month 4 begins with the teleconference with my urologist, and he says congratulations on the PSA number drop. He is less worried for me. I am officially on Active Surveillance (AS). He also suggests it can be somewhat common to see one drop, but in my case, I have never had my PSA drop since…
-
Month 3
Month 3 is the third and final month before my next PSA test. How will all this university research-based knowledge work out? I learned about the Pritikin Studies and their Institute. While I only skimmed their overall diet which seems a little on the severe side, I learned about four different types of research: 1)…
-
Month 2
In Month 2, I reorder my Pomegranate Juice and get some Ursolic Acid because some research shows it slows down PSA doubling. Experiments on PSA doubling slowing show Cranberry Juice works. I found an alternative in glass; originally it was in plastic. Here is the one I use as of month 8. To further crush…
-
Month 1
In Month 1, I bought this supplement because I read several research papers that said many different parts of the pomegranate inhibit prostate cancer cell growth, and that it’s hard to get high concentrations of things into the blood without supplements. The supplements are expensive, but it’s a small price to pay to slow down…
