Dave, I just want to say you are doing an amazing job mate. Well done! Thank you for sharing that info with us, you have a great exercise routine and diet. Keep on the good work!

Thanks for sharing, Dave., and thank you, Exercise Elixir. Just discovered your channel. I initially had PSA of 525 (six months ago) and Gleeson 7. Bone mets on rib, hip, lower back. Now PSA of 3.4 after hormonal therapy (reducing T). Still walk constantly, run, push-ups, pull-ups, weight resistance, and swimming. Blood work showing great results. Phosphate at normal levels (a very important marker of cancer activity). Similar diet to you, but was warned off eggs Mostly: broccoli, tomatoes, arugula, amla powder, white tea, green tea, black tea, sardines, salmon, buckwheat, blueberries, strawberries, walnuts, sunflower seeds, mulberries, blackberries, white button mushroom powder, flaxseed meal, beets, collagen, whole grain bread, tahini, coconut milk, parsley, avocado, puple yams, etc. Great to hear what you're doing.

marching to march music really helped me

If I had to choose between training for a marathon or listening to a doctor, I would choose training for a marathon! After at least 40 years of abuse from doctors I will choose anything else!

[@ExerciseElixirPCa]

Hi Joe, even though I really support and congratulate your passion to exercise, I would strongly suggest that you should consult and work with a doctor. There are good ones out there, you just have to try a few before you find the one that works well with you! However, I'll be posting more videos on exercise and dietary recommendations.

[@joecheffo5942]

Isn’t it basically medical malpractice to suggest anything but the standard treatments? Also, what looks like the best treatment for local PC at least is Tookad, least side effects. Approved in EU and many other places but FDA said no. It’s a light therapy created in Israel. So doctors might be “good” people but in the US they are limited in what they can say and do.
