Maybe so for him, but no diet or lifestyle change has produced any evidence it works for metastatic prostate cancer. The 5-year survival rate for my initial diagnosis was about 5.4 years. I’m at 7½ years and in good shape with just Lupron and Xtandi.
The average is that Lupron initially work for 3 months to two years. I got almost 4 years out of it, although my PSA gradually increased to 1.7 when we added Xtandi. That was 3½ years ago and my PSA has been undetectable from two months after I started it to the present time. Xtandi, on average works for only around 6 months. I’m at 5½ times that with no indication it’s going to stop working at anytime in the foreseeable future.
I am one of the very fortunate ones and God has blessed me.
Although positive results tend to be reliable, negative reports on diet and supplements should especially be taken with skepticism. After all, almost all medical journals and professional organizations are stuffed fat with cash from drug companies. A slew of valid positive reports on the curative value of diet and supplements would cost the drug companies billions of dollars in the size of the market for their wares.
Several times over the years, I read press reports about a medical study that had results that seemed so out of line as to provoke my curiosity enough that I got the study and picked it apart apart. Vitamin E, for example, was supposedly debunked in one study -- but hidden deep in the end notes was the name of the company that manufactured the Vitamin E tested. It was an artificial form of Vitamin E that was studied, which is chemically different from and well known to be inferior and sometimes harmful in its effects in comparison to natural Vitamin E. The negative results in the study were utterly predictable, but the essential fact of what was form of Vitamin E was being studies was tucked away in detail that not one reader in a thousand would have noticed.
Similarly, the tobacco companies and the maker of Oxycodone, Purdue Pharma, got hit with massive liability because they spent vast sums cooking up phony studies and getting them published. No one though has pursued the crooked authors, peer reviewers, and journal publishers who put the studies out before the medical community. Pesticide and plastics manufacturers are also notorious for thuggishly suppressing studies and threatening researchers who report negative effects from their products. And the epic chicanery and bare-knuckled tactics used to hide the drawbacks and dangers of the COVID vaccines have made billions for Big Pharma but done great damage to the credibility of the entire enterprise.
The virtual stop to your prostate cancer has a medical explanation. Unlike orderly normal cells, cancer cells tend to be a wild, hot, evolving mess, putting everything into growth and spread with the genetic and metabolic regulators and controls of normal cells absent or inactive. Daughter cells are often ridden with errors in replication that make for a constantly shifting therapeutic target as new genes are introduced, deleted, activated, or suppressed.
Some prostate cancers are an exception though, being so genetically stable and slow growing (the medical term is indolent) that they do not need aggressive therapy. That may explain your good fortune -- but I can offer no explanation as to why you specifically have that good fortune other than that you and your cleverness and discipline have been rewarded by Grace. To which I add my humble prayers and best wishes.
