80: The Effect of Diet and Lifestyle on Prostate Cancer - Stephen Freedland, M.D.

[@pwaveqrs1]

I'm in my 5th year of surviving Prostate Cancer. Surgery, Recurrence, PSMA-PET Positive two local lymph nodes; radiation, 18 months Lupron. Now 5 months on the Carnivore diet and I have never felt better in my life! No joint pain anymore. Way stronger than when eating plants. Eager to workout now. Thriving as a human. Testosterone back to normal. PSA remains non detectable.

Just got tested again, Testosterone continues to increase to 550 and PSA remains undetectable.

As I am a diabetic person My physician asked me to do a PSA checkup test with Hemoglobin A1C .The result was a little bit high 5.54 ng/ml , and he referred me to a specialist. An MRI and a biopsy later, I discovered I was a 65 year old living with a Gleason 6 prostate cancer. I'm so grateful that my Doctor took action, knew that there was a history of prostate cancer in my family and encouraged me to do the test. I now can do active surveillance and get on with my life. Now I changed all my life style and start ketogenic diet In addition to I stop eating dairy foods and sugar and rice and and all products that feeds cancer since 3 months also I practice prolonged DRY fasting about 17 hrs for one month and i do two Psa tests one after 2 months and it was 3.54ng/ml and the other one after dry fasting and it was 2.7ng/ml . I lost about 12 KGS since 3 months That encourage me to complete fasting hoping that tumor marker will give me more good results.

Thanks for sharing your story. Congrats on being proactive to improve your dietary and prostate health!

Please can you help me to understand what happened with my case… when I choose active surveillance l hope after awhile that my prostate gland will stay in this recent stage and the PSA results will not increased…but what happened after practicing dry fasting for more than one month was amazing thePsa values total and free decreased from 5.54 to 2.7 for total and from 0.58 to 0.26 for free..... My second question if I go ahead with anther dry fasting period about 10 days per month the PSA may decrease to approach from the normal records

You Will Be Suprised At What You Will Give Up When Your Life Depends On It.

Because most people will not give up cookies, cakes, and candies, it would be helpful if the physicians would name which brand names are better than others. Certainly, oatmeal and peanut butter cookies have less sugar content than Oreos.

Not necessarily true

[@peterschenk2352]

I was diagnosed with stage 3 prostate cancer. Stopped eating any product with refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup 8 months ago. Just need to do it. No excuses.

Examples of fats that should be consumed with tomatoes?

[@drewquayle8776]

Virgin olive oil

[@micheleoconnell8749]

Fresh Mozzarella cheese or Burrati

[@wayned550]

Use Ground black pepper with virgin olive oil when cooking tomatoes, this helps produce more lycopean which is good for prostate cancer. I'm no dietician but I've read this from numerous dieticians.
