Understand your comments and I don’t necessarily disagree.

Speaking for myself, the first 3 months after my diagnosis and AS decision involved implementing all sorts of diet and exercise modifications, that I thought had even a hint of slowing PCa progression.

I chose AS BUT I was NOT going to sit idly by waiting for my next periodic test….that’s just me….

My initial research into medical studies that investigated particular foods, supplements or exercise routines, that showed promise of slowing of PCa progression almost ALWAYS ended with something like the last sentence in the ERASE trial conclusion:

“Larger trials are warranted to determine whether such improvement translates to better longer-term clinical outcomes in this setting”

In other words….we demonstrated good results but here’s our disclaimer….forever studying but never coming to firm conclusions.

I’m now two years into AS and I’ve found an AS protocol that is working for me. Others have to find their own way…which is the nature of PCa.

As of today, I lean towards the opinion, as you indicate, that the exercise piece of my protocol is the prime mover of my current results.

However, early on, I permanently included dietary items (such as broccoli sprouts) which I BELIEVED to be beneficial to slow PCa progression…and now there appears to be a mechanism as to how they may help in that effort. I say great! I’ve already implemented that change…what’s next….

I’m not bothered in the least by a small number of participants in a study….I’ve always been an “early adopter” and fully recognize that “all good things start small” AND “be prepared when something promised doesn’t deliver”.

All the best!
