Video explaining the difference in the treatments for Advance/Metastatic PCa by Oncologist VS Urologists

Us Too Warriors,

It is helpful if you know the difference between these types of Doctors to get the treatment you may need. I switched from my Urologist surgeon 5 years after my surgery when I had BioChemical recurrence of the cancer. But with My research/scientific background I have always told my doctors the treatment I wanted as I am still doing today for both PCa and melanoma. So far so good- All my scans for 10 Melanoma mets are gone and the PSMA scan can not find my PCa at PSa 1.5.

I am a happy camper for now.

Not only is it important to know the difference between these doctors, it is very important to find a Doctor you can work with that listens to what is important to you. For certain treatments you may have to travel out of the area if you can afford to for a special /Unique treatments only available at certain cancer centers - I have gone to John hopkins for consultation and I was able to get a local cancer center to start a new treatment - Just FDA approved Immunotherapy for my Melanoma called Opdualag.
In this regard quality of life is important to me and has been a guiding principle in my treatment selections.

Zero cancer, Benefits of Differnt forms of Magnesium in Prostate cancer and other health Issue.

Us Too Warriors,

I have recently been supplementing with magnesium salts for several health issues and one of our members inquired about a stroke he had from high blood pressure. I was aware that magnesium supplements can lower blood pressure so Investigated further and found it has other health benefits depending on the salt form: see below and the video attached. Form: Mg Citrate- Bowel movement; Mg Glycinate- Calming; Mg Sulfate -Afib; Mg Threonate - Brain aging; MgTaurate and Malate - fibromyalgia/pain and Mg Threonate for - Brain aging protection. Magnesium in general activates Vitamin D3 (25 Vitamin D) to the Active form of Vitamin D =1,25 OH vitamin D (Calcitriol) which fights PCa (which I also take in a prescription besides the inactive over the counter Vitamin D3 that your liver and kidney need to activate). Magnesium can reduce calcium in blood vessels and thus reduce blood pressure/hardening of the arteries. It is known that high Calcium in the diet can make for more PCa and more aggressive PCa. The Magnesium dose is 420 mg/d for men and 350 mg/d for women. The Form you take depends on the issues concerning your health. I am presently taking Mg Citrate, Mg Malate, Mg Threonate and Mg Sulfate for my health issues. Mg is best taken with food at night. Mg ions may have benefits as a possible therapeutic agent in the management of glaucoma, cataract and diabetic retinopathy. If you have less than stage 3 kidney function that is GFR less<30 you should not supplement with Mg.

You Tube Video Explaining how sugar affects our health and fighting cancer
All Sodas are High Frutose Corn Syrup-Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper etc etc since about 1980!!!!!

Us Too Warriors,

High Fructose corn syrup is the worst bad acting actor sugar that kills people that are skinny or fat and grows cancer and diabetes etc. But Sucrose also is part Fructose and glucose is bad if not as bad as Fructose.

The following video will explain how a fatty liver is produced by fructose just as if you were a heavy drinker and how you can become insulin resistant with a high fructose diet. You will need to check the contents of what you buy at the grocery store if you do not already.

Video explaining the use of high Dose Melatonin to stop Advanced PCa(& other cancers) Growth

Us Too Warriors,

I have used melatonin for many years to slow my cancer. (this may be important if you have advanced PCa.) I started with 20 mg per night and now I am at 40 mg now. But the video suggests a very high dose like 180 mg/night. Also, with my high number (10+) of CT, MRI and Pet scans radiation, the video suggests 300 mg before the scan to block radiation Damage. Some people(<10%?) have trouble with melatonin even at low doses <10mg,so try low doses before you try higher to see if you can handle it? I Plan to work my way up slowly to higher doses. It does not require a prescription and this site sells a 60mg pill if you are so inclined?

"www.scientifichealthsolutions.com"

A word of Caution, Melatonin is a blood thinner that can lead to excess bleeding if you have stomach bleeds or hemorrhoids. Aspirin, Aleve ( Nsaids) cause stomach bleeds especially with alcohol use. I use high dose (mega)Vitamin K2 (MK4) from Lef.org for stopping bleeding and getting calcium (hardening of my arteries) out of my arteries from Vitamin D higher adsorption of calcium. Blood thinning is one of the 8 ways claimed in the Video to slow cancer growth with melatonin.

Short video describing when a PSMA Pet CT is appropriate

Us Too Warriors,

A Pet is appropriate if you have these conditions.
1. you have Biochemical recurrence after surgery/radiation,
2. You have 50% of your biopsy cores positive on diagnosis.
3. Your Gleason is 4+ 3 or worse on diagnosis.
4. Your PSA is > 10 on diagnosis.
5. In My case, it checks if a couple of questionable spots on
my backbone and lung are PCa active or possibly Melanoma?? as
PSMA binds to prostate cancer. I will get the test in November some time.

Dr.Meyers Video suggest the use of metformin to fight PCa and reduce aging.

I have used metformin1500 to 2000 mg/day for the last 10+ years which has helped keep my weight equal to my high school weight to 10 lbs above when I can get enough exercise. My special scale suggests my biological age is 5 years less than my chronicle age. Metformin may be helping? A1c<~5.6

This video discusses good test to see if you need Biopsy by a urologist I put Dr. Androiles on the same level with Dr. Snuffy Meyers.

Us Too Warriors,

When I went to Dr Gerald Androiles website recently I found he had over 800 papers. One of the papers in1996 recommended use of drugs like proscar and avodart as soon as you had biochemical recurrence before the PSA was above 1.0 (started at a PSA=0.3 in the year 2000). You can keep your PSA from rising fast above 1.0 before it takes off (by using these drugs to block Dihydrotestosterone = DHT). It stopped my PSA at <1.0 for 14 years and has added at least 16 years to my life. I think if you are looking at getting Biopsies this is worth looking at.

Today's progress update==> I had a port for immunotherapy put in my chest, I got Vitamin C IV approved, I am scheduled for more SBRT of my back and legs, but legs are hard to treat. I start immunotherapy Jan 4 th. The herds of cats are going in the right direction finally.

This video website is very informative for men with CRPC. I have been interested in BAT treatment but this video tells me that I am not a good candidate for this treatment as I believe and am trying to get a test for ARV-7 testosterone splice as my cause of cancer growth.

Jerry Deans may have benefited from this treatment as he was P53 mutated, but we did not have this information early enough before he had bone metastases.

IMPORTANT Do not use LED Bulbs, Low E-Glass or Stay out of Sun. Infrared rays On our body = MELATONIN Anti-oxidant

Us Too Warriors,

I have seen some inconsistency in Vitamin D protection from Covid in which giving vitamin D to someone with low vitamin D, who is sick with covid did not have the benefit expected in stopping Covid deaths . The person needs to have a high vitamin D level before becoming sick to prevent death from covid from supplements and good amount from sun exposure. Ultraviolet sunlight exposure produces Vitamin D but the Infrared rays (the heating rays) produce Melatonin which acts as antioxidant to fight the Oxidation storm in the body which if not dampant kills a person w/covid.

Our grandparents & Great Grand parents knew this indirectly by observation and put sick people outside in the sun even in the winter. Now we are making it worse by staying indoors with air conditioning, LED Bulbs and low E-Glass Windows. I am Glad I have not replaced the old windows in my OLD house with energy efficient windows as I often thought to do. Watch the Youtube website to be informed.

Abstract:
Purpose:
Enzalutamide, a second-generation antiandrogen, was recently approved for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in patients who no longer respond to docetaxel. Despite these advances that provide temporary respite, resistance to enzalutamide occurs frequently. Androgen receptor (AR) splice variants such as AR-V7 have recently been shown to drive castration-resistant growth and resistance to enzalutamide. This study was designed to identify inhibitors of AR variants and test its ability to overcome resistance to enzalutamide.

Dr. Meyers talk on vitamin D website attached

Us Too Warriors,

Those of you who have been in the group since about 2010 may remember my research on Vitamin D. I promote measurement of your blood level with a 25 Hydroxy Vitamin D test. I got the results from 60 men as to the level of their level of supplement which ranged from a low of 1000 IU/day to a high of 16,000 IU/day. I was at high end (16,000) because I am a poor absorber (only 60% absorbed in my blood) This put my blood level to near 100ng/ml of blood. This is near the limit of what you want to have and I am on a low milk and Cheese diet to reduce fat, calcium and growth hormones, all bad for the fight with PCa and heart problems. The average Vitamin D intake of the 60 men was 8,666IU (IU =Internationa Units of Vitamin D)and the Blood level average was about = 45 ng/ml which is sufficient, but Dr Meyers recommend and supplement of 5,000 to 7,000 IU/day and blood level of 80 IU to fight diseases and Cancers. Most men in the group did not reach 80ng/ml that level in their blood .

But today I got an email about Vitamin D fighting Covid in which showed in a clinical study that 25.3% of people that went to hospital with Covid with insufficient vitamin D in their blood died of Covid and only 2.5 % died if they had a good sufficient level of Vitamin D in their blood.

Importance of Vitamin D for Covid 19 and Doxycycline for Covid and most everything else

The below Video on Youtube discusses the value of vitamin D Supplementation on fighting long Covid and death.

This is particularly important in dark skin individuals- AA, Latinos and etc (anyone with low vitamin D blood levels ( OHvitamin D3 levels should be 60 to 80ng/ml in blood. I need 12,000+ !U of vitamin D3.per day as I have low Vitamin D absorbing genes only 65%.)

Also, My research in the use of Doxycycline antibiotic (which I take to slow PCa metastasis) shows that it has wide benefit in the inflammation from these diseases:

Tooth decay, Periodontal disease, Heart muscle damage size from heart attacks, stroke damage size in brain, Covid-19 ARDS=Sepesis of the lungs, Chelation of Iron, Aluminum and Manganese ions from the brain to help slow Alzheimer's, Parkinsons and Multiple Sclerosis. Doxycyclines actions are related to stopping MetalloMatrix Proteinase (MMPs) breakdown (damage) of useful proteins structures in the disease area from inflammation,

See Below

ABSTRACT
Epidemiological studies have demonstrated a relationship between cancer incidence and dietary habits. Especially intake of certain essential nutrients like vitamins has been shown to be beneficial in experimental studies and some clinical trials. Vitamin K (VK) is an essential nutrient involved in the blood clotting cascade, and there are considerable experimental data demonstrating its potential anticancer activity in several cancer types including prostate cancer. Previous in vitro and in vivo studies have focused mainly on anti-oxidative effects as the underlying anticancer mechanism of VK. However, recent studies reveal that VK inhibits the growth of cancer cells through other mechanisms, including apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, autophagy, and modulation of various transcription factors such as Myc and Fos. In the present review, we focus on the anticancer effect of dietary VK and its analogs on prostate cancer, with an emphasis on the signaling pathways that are activated following exposure to these compounds. This review also highlights the potential of VK and its derivatives as an adjuvant treatment in combination with other vitamins or with chemotherapeutic drugs. Based on our recent results and a review of the existing literature, we present evidence that VK and its derivatives can potentially be explored as cancer therapy, especially for prostate cancer.

ABSTRACT
In recent years, several studies have shown that vitamin k2 (VK2) has anticancer activity in a variety of cancer cells. The antitumor effects of VK2 in prostate cancer are currently not known. In the present study, we sought to characterize the anticancer potential of VK2 in both androgen-dependent and -independent prostate cancer cells. Our investigations show that VK2 is able to suppress viability of androgen-dependent and androgen-independent prostate cancer cells via caspase-3 and -8 dependent apoptosis. We also show that VK2 treatment reduces androgen receptor expression and PSA secretion in androgen-dependent prostate cancer cells. Our results also implicate VK2 as a potential anti-inflammatory agent, as several inflammatory genes are downregulated in prostate cancer cells following treatment with VK2. Additionally, AKT and NF-kB levels in prostate cancer cells are reduced significantly when treated with VK2. These findings correlated with the results of the Boyden chamber and angiogenesis assay, as VK2 treatment reduced cell migration and angiogenesis potential of prostate cancer cells. Finally, in a nude mice model, VK2 administration resulted in significant inhibition of both androgen-dependent and androgen-independent tumor growth. Overall, our results suggest that VK2 may be a potential therapeutic agent in the treatment of prostate cancer.

"“Fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT Impact on Clinical Management of Recurrent Prostate Cancer”

I hope all are well and celebrate a health Thanksgiving. The video attached below is by Dr. Androile who recommended Finasteride (1996) and the Avodart later to stop Dihydrotestosterone fuel PCa growth after BCR - this along with my supplements gave me 15 years of slow PSA growth after I experienced BCR in Year 2000. It is the Axumin test for BCR which he discusses in the video that helped find my Mets which so far Casodex has lowered my PSA which is considered undetectable by standard PSA test.

I think this Video will help you decide at what PSA values after BCR to get an Axumin test. It is more successful as the PSA rises. My PSa was 12.2 ng/ml when I could first get the test after FDA approval ( it is highly effective for detection at this PSA). It is a much better test lymph node mets than mpMRI imaging. MY MRI at that time detected no lymph node mets but Axumin found about 8 lymph node mets in addition to hip bone met. My MRI did not find the hip bone met initially but it did when a new MRI, after the Axumin, was extended to cover my Hips. I did not know the original MRI(s) 2 only looked at the pelvis ( If you do not look in the right place you will not find Mets). I hope this helps

Fluciclovine (18F) PET/CT Impact on Clinical Management of Recurrent Prostate Cancer
Gerald L. Andriole, MD, FACS, asserts that the fluciclovine PET-CT scan has a significant impact on the management of patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. Best
Peter

Summary: Gerald L. Andriole, MD, FACS, asserts that the fluciclovine PET-CT scan has a significant impact on the management of patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. Prostate cancer recurs in up to 40% of patients treated with surgery or radiation therapy for presumed localized disease. Unfortunately, conventional imaging is unlikely to identify the site of recurrence until the Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) level exceeds 20 mg/mL. Choline PET scans are an improvement over conventional imaging but are not recommended until the PSA level exceeds 20 mg/mL.

Fluciclovine PET scans identify recurrence disease in about 40% of patients with PSA levels less than 0.8 mg/mL, but identifies higher portions of patients as PSA levels rise. In a treatment impact trial of more than 200 men with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (the LOCATE study), treatment was changed in 59% of patients once the results of the fluciclovine PET scan were known. In 78% of these cases, the treatment changes were considered to be major.

Vit D

RVa US too, family and Severn Men, I have been active in researching the benefit of Vitamin D levels in children in preventing rampant t cavities by increasing saliva flow, increasing calcium in saliva by better gut adsorption and producing antibacterial proteins in saliva.

On a personal basis, I have used it to fight my personal cancer for 26 years when my DNA analysis showed I am a poor Vitamin d absorber. And as Cancer Support group leader I have provider information to my group on its benefits for fighting cancers. website of our group "www.rvaprostatecancersupport.org". I have been successful in the last two years puting My PCa with bone mets in remission !!

Now, I am sending you a youtube website which describes how vitamin D interacts with macrophages to put Covid 19 on an anti-inflammatory path to stop the cytokine storm. I think Dr. Harvey Schienkein at my school would be best at explaining the many steps of the pathway of how it works but there are many references to follow to help understand.

Check out this website below for a 10 minute video on ways to minimize some of the effects of ADT like fatigue etc. Some of these side effects apply to me now I am on Casodex Antiandrogen. I learned I need to spend more time in weight training. Also. I have recently heard from Dr. Drake ( Jerry Dean's Oncologist) that ADT does not make you react badly to Cov-19; but Chemotherapy like Taxotere ( which lowers the immune system) may make the reaction to Covid -19 worse. Fortunately, Jerry has just completed (earlyMay?) six rounds of treatment with some benefit in lowering his PSA .

Non Standard Approach

RVA - Us Too Warriors:

Most of you know I use non standard treatments (I used a local Surgery with Casodex, AVodart & Proscar, Metformin, Doxycycline) - This California Doctor uses another non standard approach with high dose testosterone and avodart. My casodex Drives my testosterone to high levels too (1100-1600).I hope you will find it enlightening.

I think We ( brother and I) may borrow the high testosterone approach as an addition for my newly diagnosed 2nd brother added to my treatment so he may avoid local surgery or radiation to his prostate when added to my treatments for him. He has a relatively low testosterone ~300 which makes him a good candidate for this treat. We have already shown in the last three years that we could drop his PSA by 90% and 70 % on two differ occasions over the last 3 years using my treatment.

Heart IQ

These Videos are to raise your Heart IQ so you can better work with your Doctor's to keep your heart function well.

I know they raised my Heart IQ as I try to decide how to make my "SICK sinus node" work better with my Doctors' Help. As we age, it is not unusual for heart issues to arise. The ADT treatment for PCa may make this happen too. Heart attacks for men who already have heart problems may be 2 to 3times higher with ADT PCa treatment especially in the first year after diagnosis and starting on ADT =Lupron. Moreover , Lupron drives men towards metabolic syndrome with increased weight, fatigue resulting in less exercise and muscle loss (Heart is a muscle!) and towards diabetes which is bad for the heart.

Molecular Genetic Testing in Prostate Cancer - Wassim Abida

Wassim Abida provides a current roadmap for molecular genetic subtyping in prostate cancer with the main goal of targeting the right therapies for progressing patients. The one clear indication for molecular testing at this point is in the identification of MSI-high prostate cancer because pembrolizumab is approved for this indication. Investigational PARP inhibitors (poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitor) is a substance that blocks an enzyme in cells called PARP. PARP helps repair DNA when it becomes damaged.

Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk With the Use of Androgen Deprivation Therapy for Prostate Cancer By Matthew T. Roe, MD, MHS, MHS

Heart disease and cancer are the leading causes of death in the United States.1 Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer in American men, and PC is most frequently diagnosed among men aged 65 to 74 years.2 The American Cancer Society’s estimates for PC in the United States for 2017 are about 161,360 new cases. Of these, about 26,730 are expected to die of the disease.

Update on ADT in Advanced Prostate Cancer By Thomas E. Keane, MBBCh, FRCSI, FACS

Prostate cancer is the leading incident cancer among men, and population growth and aging have fueled a 40% rise in global case burden since 2006.1,2 Despite recent improvements in treatment, patients with locally advanced and advanced prostate cancer experience significant emotional distress, diminished quality of life, and increased risk of cancer-specific mortality

Sugar

US Too Warriors:
Sugar stimulates Insulin that PCa cells have receptors for which make the cancer grow!! If your blood insulin is already too high or your blood sugar ( glucose) it suggests you need to reduce your sugar intake. Your better numbers are in the lower normal range.

This website from 60 Minutes describes the toxicity from sugar and its brain reward effect that drives us to eat more and more. I find it the hardest thing to give up which means we have to do more exercise to try to burn it up in our muscles as well as eat less sugar that is added to many foods like Ragu spaghetti sauce etc.

I have found that many of the natural agents that fight PCa are either bitter or sour!!!

Development of artemisinin compounds for cancer treatment.

Author's information - Abstract

Artemisinin contains an endoperoxide moiety that can react with iron to
form cytotoxic free radicals. Cancer cells contain significantly more intracellular
free iron than normal cells and it has been shown that artemisinin and its analogs
selectively cause apoptosis in many cancer cell lines. In addition, artemisinin
compounds have been shown to have anti-angiogenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-metastasis
and growth inhibition effects. These properties make artemisinin compounds attractive
cancer chemotherapeutic drug candidates. However, simple artemisinin analogs are
less potent than traditional cancer chemotherapeutic agents and have short plasma
half-lives, and would require high dosage and frequent administration to be effective
for cancer treatment. More potent and target-selective artemisinin-compounds are being
developed. These include artemisinin dimers and trimers, artemisinin hybrid compounds
and tagging of artemisinin compounds to molecules that are involved in the intracellular
iron-delivery mechanism. These compounds are promising potent anticancer compounds
that produce significantly less side effect than traditional chemotherapeutic agents.

The following video segments were taped during the Us TOO Community Conversation on Prostate Cancer

Education about all aspects of the disease is very important since prostate cancer has no symptoms until it’s advanced. It’s also the
most common cancer among men accounting for nearly 30,000 deaths annually. But with informed decision making, it’s possible to diagnose
prostate cancer early and manage it effectively. The Community Conversation events provide an overview on prostate cancer, physician
presentations, educational materials, survivor stories, and sponsor introductions.

The following video segments were taped during the Us TOO Community Conversation on Prostate Cancer, which was a feature presentation
at the Michigan Institute of Urology’s Sixth Annual Men’s Health Event at Ford Field in Detroit, MI, on Saturday, September 24, 2016.
The same information was discussed in the morning session by Dr. Jason Hafron and again in the afternoon session by Dr. Elisabeth Heath.
The entire event was also broadcast live on the internet.

This is an A to Z learning experience. These short videos will give you the starting points you need to help you make your decisions on this
journey - none of us wish to take. You will fine the time spent here is well worth it.
