Have you tried broccoli sprouts? there's something in them that's super good too, my husband makes this "cancer killer" sort of salad and eats it twice a day.
Cilantro, broccoli sprouts, bell pepper, avocado and probably some other things, no lettuce so I guess it's not a salad..... then maybe at night he'll fry up some wild salmon and he eats these twice a day and nothing else and he LOVES it, lost weight at first because he cut out sugar and carbs but for about a month he's kept the same weight.

@beaquilter About 8 months before my recurrent PCa diagnosis, My glucose and A1C put me at the high end of the pre-diabetes range. I’ve never been a big sugar eater, but I cut out sugar and products containing sugar entirely. Stevia is my only sweetener. I also made sure that I balanced carbs with protein and fats when I ate. I lost about eight ponds, my energy level through the day really evened out, my mood in general was just better, and my glucose and A1C came back into normal range. All this has helped not only physically, but mentally, in dealing with my cancer relapse and getting through eight weeks of radiation therapy (just finished last week). In an odd way, the pre-diabetes “wake up” was a positive development. If nothing else, a healthy diet just improves quality of life, which is reason alone to carry on.

@beaquilter Sulforaphane is the ingredient in broccoli sprouts. I posted a report authored by Mayo's physicians on this topic, but it was taken down after several days. Why..go figure since it was a Mayo-generated research on the positive research metrics. For those who read this, do your homework on this interesting topic. But, sulforaphane seems to slow cancer cell growth and as such impact the PSA in a positive manner. Do I take this supplement? Yes, I buy from Amazon. Why? 2010 underwent proton radiation therapy (PSA: 6.47 Diagnosis as slow-growing prostate cancer; 2.5 months at Loma Linda Hospital with 50 morning treatment at $3300. per treatment. Flash forward 10 years and PSA began to climb; I started taking this supplement after MRI and PET scan showed no cancer, yet PSA kept increasing. Since taking this supplement, the increase in PSA has STOPPED. Take this example for what it is..for the right individual, this natural supplement may slow cancer growth meaning longer life without the downsides of ADT or some other drug. Do your research on this topic and make your own judgment on this entry. The total cost was paid through TriCare of Life..as retired military. Cheers and Happy Holidays. RH-Florida
