I think this is totally refreshing that Mayo has developed a department of expertise in the field of Integrative medicine. I come from a medical background with father, older sister & brother Pediatricians, Mother nurse, younger sister ORT plus my daughter, GI Doc. My level of knowledge has always been higher in the arena of nutrition incorporated with conventional medicine. I feel strongly they both have a place in our health. I'm battling prostate cancer and feel firmly some supplements has helped keep cancer returning a bay. Only time will tell! Thanks for listening to my rant!
Sincerely,

Certainly interested in any supplements that you feel personally have been helpful to you.
My sense is that all of us are seeking good health and a healthy diet, such as the Mediterranean diet, are helpful.

Dear rcockerell...I am wrestling with Grade 1c, Gleason 3+3, low grade Prostate Cancer. Currently on AS and new PSA every 4 months. Have had 2 transperineal biopsies 1 year apart, with the same results: 1 out of 16 samples showing cancer 3+3. Decipher score of .12. I have a
limited medical background although I am a retired DDS. I am very interested in the use of supplements to mitigate my prostate cancer. Would you care to share what supplements you currently take, and what supplements you feel have really helped and ones that did not?
