Thank you to one commenter for introducing me to this totally awesome interview of Dr. Alex Marson, conducted by Dr. Andrew Huberman. It’s a two and a half hour video interview where they discuss a wide range of aspects associated with the genetic engineering revolution occurring today in all subfields of biology. They speak of…

CAR T-cell therapy works differently than mRNA-vaccine therapy for PCa
CAR T-cell reprogramming and mRNA vaccines are both immunotherapies for prostate cancer (PCa), but they differ fundamentally in their mechanism of action, manufacturing, and approach to immune activation. CAR T-cell therapy is a “living drug” approach involving complex ex vivo engineering of a patient’s own immune cells to directly attack tumor cells, whereas mRNA vaccines are an “educational” approach that teaches the…

CAR T-cell reprogramming represents a critical strategy for treating PCa
CAR T-cell reprogramming is a critical strategy for treating prostate cancer because it addresses the major biological barriers that have historically made this “immunologically cold” tumor resistant to standard CAR T therapies. While CAR T-cell therapy has excelled in blood cancers (yet another recent publication, the full version here), its success in prostate cancer depends…

Genetic Approaches Begin to Revolutionize PCa therapies.
At this time, genetic approaches to fight PCa breaks down to two techniques, the DNA approach, and the mRNA approach. The DNA approach uses CRISPR technology Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRIPSR) technology leads the way in the DNA approach to fighting PCa. Cancer results from unfavorable DNA alterations that creates cancer cells from…

mRNA therapy represents a revolution in PCa treatment
I have known for a while that the same mRNA techniques used to create COVID 2 vaccines have moved on to create cancer therapies. Some are very successful, very expensive, but restricted to cancers outside the realm of PCa. And I have been wondering for a while what was happening in the world of mRNA…

Analyzing My PSA Doubling Times
I took my PSA readings and the dates of those readings, and put that into a Google Sheet. The PSA Scores are in Column D, and associated dates of each score are found in Column D. This data comes from the Quest interface: Looking below to the grid of data in spreadsheet form, Column C…

On doing the right thing with medical knowledge
Now that I have been experimenting on myself in order to suppress my prostate cancer for the last 7 months and achieved an almost 50% reduction in my PSA where no reduction has occurred for me in the past, I struggle with a way to get my story out in a proper way. Pursuant to…

The Oxford Study
( This is Why I Am Doing It !) Oxford University in England, is the oldest and arguably the most well-respected University on Earth. This 30 year Oxford University Study reports out in 2023 after 15 years. It examines 1,500 men with localized prostate cancer who take 3 distinct paths. 1) Prostate removal, 2) Radiation…

Tips and Tricks for Using the MegaHome Distiller
My choice for distiller was this MegaHome one. It’s been working flawlessly for 7 months, and when I clean it, it comes back brand new. There are 3 tips I offer to extend the number of gallons that can be made between cleanings. Without these tips, I would have to clean it every 3 or…

How I prepare for my PSA tests
It is important to be consistent with how I prepare for my PSA tests so they are accurate and also because I want changes in my score to not be the result of something I did differently just before the test. Here is my checklist.
