Misleading title! They talk about CONVENTIONAL, NOT Alternative “treatments”.

I don't see how any of this was a discussion on ALTERNATIVE treatment.

A test of my PSA was 5000 and then a scan showed my prostate to be a deformed large mass and my lyphm nodes were so large they looked like one large mass. Said there was nothing they could do but at 75 they said hormone therapy would slow it's progression. Got my PSA down to O. 5. but they sweats have been terrible lasting all day like rain. Sleeping in wet cloths cause a break out of bad sores. Wish at 75 I just let it go.

I wish the interviewer would allow the interviewees to answer his questions without cutting them off. It's rude and we need to hear what they are saying.

Excellent information.

Why was this 'alternative treatments'. Looks mainstream to me. You state the general perceptions of treatment as 'you'll die with it' and 'its the 2nd biggest killer in men', yet you don't state which one is correct. The PSA test is a bad test. It's basically a lottery system. The threshold is 4. This threshold is a made up number plucked out of thin air. Theres no science behind its selection. People with PSA below 4 can have cancer or not. People with PSA above cancer can have cancer or not. All it does is pass more people through the testing door since the way its designed it will randomly select a percentage of people taking the test for a biopsy.
