Prostate cancer is nothing to fool around with. Yes, it starts slow, and may not get virulent, although for some people it does. In those early stages, there’s no harm in trying something which gives some relief of urinary symptoms.
But, an experienced doctor touting an alternate medicine that he doesn’t really believe in is another matter. Did he believe in this particular concoction? We don’t know, but since he had the training and motivation to enable him to understand then current research, I find it hard to believe that he didn’t have some doubts.
What’s wrong with it? Well, if it dissuades people from monitoring their condition on the mistaken assumption that they’ve cured it, I’d say it’s pretty bad. Or, if it’s just a matter of taking an endorsement fee for something that you (he) believes does no harm, while he doubts it does much good, well that’s only a little bad.
know nothing about this concoction, but I do know that one of the most widely used antibiotic is derived from a fungus. You might have heard of it. It is called penicillin.
