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 same facility, on the same machine, interpreted by the same doctor. (smaller PIRADS 3 showed, but was benign, not even requiring a biopsy)

On AS for 20 months without testosterone suppressing drugs. Life is above normal.

Natural testosterone has risen from 170 to over 300. Very Active.

Edema in feet and ankles: gone.

Lost 37 pounds naturally, 1.5 inches lost in my neck. I no longer snore.

Feeling great, physically and emotionally.

I have kicked the can down the road almost 2 years, better off at 70, than I was at 68.

80% of what I accomplished comes down to just 3 things. 1) Pomegranates, 2) Rosemary, and 3) Changes in My Diet.

If I ran across this website at the time of my diagnosis and got that TL;DR feeling (Too Long, Didn’t Read), this is the place I would want to be. And if I wanted to imitate what I saw here without spending 100 hours reading what took over 1,000 hours to create, I would do these three things:

Pomegranates – Easy – the Miracle Fruit from antiquity enhanced with modern research-based support items. I order and take these five things.

Rosemary – Easy – the Miracle Spice from antiquity also enhanced with modern research-based support items. I order and take these four things.

Diet – Harder. but not so hard since it means I avoid surgery, radiation, and testosterone suppressing drugs. And I avoid all those unfortunate side effects! I clean my water and my air, and I EAT FRESH FOODS while avoiding these three things in my diet to SLOW THE GROWTH of PCa as well as all cells in my body. I also stopped using plastics in my cookware, my dishware, and food storage containers.

If I had to do it over again I would do the same three things.

I AM NOT A DOCTOR. THIS IS MY STORY ONLY, MY ONE-MAN EXPERIMENT ON MYSELF. I CANNOT AND DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY OF THIS TO ANYONE ELSE SINCE I AM NOT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL. I am an engineer and scientist, so I have that going for me (apologies to the Caddyshack Meme).

However, if I had to do it over again I would do the same three things. Feel free to post questions or comments at various places found on the site, or email me at admin@iloweredmypsa.com.

    Hello,

    Great job documenting your journey.

    I might have missed it, but do you have an October 2025 PSA value vs previous?

    Thanks

    1. No October 2025 PSA scheduled. Probably this winter or next spring. Late next
      spring would be my next MRI.

      Thanks for the compliment on my documentation. It’s appreciated ! I find it amazing when I go back to read it myself !

      Patrick
