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 who I have been in contact with using ursolic acid with buccal administration.  I am like what, and he explained it to mean keeping the ursolic acid next to the cheek.  He did not swallow it after. From this I and now taking my PSO last using sublingual and buccal administration.  Essentially I am keeping the PSO liquid in my mouth for anywhere between 15 minutes and an hour depending on circumstances.  I then swallow it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am feeling better than ever, still no symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 3 months of that I had another PSA score.  It was 3.0, up some from the 2.45 previously, and still below the 3.3 I had a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am now switching over to my second type of PSO, and I will try that for about 3 months and retest.  Then I will move to Rosemary without PSO and see what happens then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">July 18, 2025<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve been over in The Philippines now for 2 weeks.  I have some filtered water and stainless steel pans, so that&#8217;s a good thing.  I brought over a subset of my supplements, namely  PSO, luteolin, and elegiac acid as well as sulforaphane. saw palmetto, and rosemary.  I have about another month here, then I return to America for a week before going off for a week in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>September starts a new year of teaching for me.   I will keep two of the part time jobs if they both rehire me.  If the second one can&#8217;t find someone to immediately replace me then I will quit after December, but keep my first one, which is largely remote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the passing of the jet lag and a bug I had for a day or two before my flights, through the flights, and one day after, I have to say I feel fantastic.  I have finally lost some weight, and I hope to keep that up. After about 3 intense months of trying, I have lost 10 kg, and really hope to keep that up at a  rate of at least 5 kg a month.  By December, I hope to give skiing another try.  The last time was about 3 years ago, where I had a winter pass to Whiteface Mountain in upper New York State.  I skied the best in my life at the end of that season, which ended to soon with a bad fall and a torn rotator cuff.  Doctors were anxious to operate, but I demurred and it fixed itself with the help of some physical therapy. I carried that attitude into my latest PCa challenge, and so far, so good.  I am also giving stretching another round of seriousness since about a month ago, my sciatica returned.  I had had it back when I was 50 or so, and I remembered that yoga classes fixed it.  So I have my own private yoga practice where I do what I remember from those classes in 30 to 60 minute sessions every day.  And once again the sciatica has gone away, and the pain in my left knee which I was taking gelatin shots for no longer required those shots.  The left knee still is not as flexible as compared to the right, but I will be persistent with the yoga and see where that takes me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will take another PSA test in September when things return to normal and make whatever changes I might consider when I see the results of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My best to everyone out there.  Thanks to those who have been posting new info, as well as others who have emailed me details and suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>July 4, 2005 Well, it&#8217;s been a while and I have some new news.
