Hi Rick:
I am happy for you to learn that you don't have cancer. But, however, I
would not rule out prostitutes, depending on the age of course. Just to be
sure you should check out your PSA free vs bound ratio. I had a similar
problem. my PSA was around 18! Very high and doctors will sharpen their
knives with that kind of a score. I started taking Quercetin 500 mg x 2 /
day. in about 15 days, PSA went down to 7. Biopsy showed no cancer. My
urologist doesn't want to see me anymore more than once a year.
If your PSA is high, I would not take any Tylenol or Dimetapp. These
tend to raise the PSA level, in my experience.
I would also start drinking Green tea or buy green tea extract capsules
and gulp them one or two a day. This is also good for PD.
REMEMBER I AM GIVING YOU MY EXPERIENCE. THIS IS NOT A MEDICAL ADVICE.
YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.
BEST WISHES.
Raj.
