@jasonnyc Re: Newton's book. I heard him on a podcast state the book was going to be available Oct 31, 2025. It wasn't. His website used to have a banner of the days hours and minutes until when the book would be available, with a link to the Amazon page where it could be pre-ordered. The banner read no time left, as if the book had been published. The link went to a "sorry, blah blah blah, nothing to see here" page on Amazon.

I went to his university bio page and got his contact email. I wrote him asking where is the book? He wrote back saying he keeps holding up publication to change or add things to it, but he said it would be on Amazon Nov 21. It wasn't.

I guess it will be available soon. It's supposed to be aimed at patients.

Newton is having an impact on prostate cancer treatment: I tuned into Kathryn Schmitz, prof at Penn State, who leads an effort to make exercise a prescribed treatment for cancer in the US by 2029. Schmitz has been promoting exercise as medicine for cancer for decades.

During the Q&A she was asked if it was possible to exercise in such a way that muscles could be exercised to grow in a patient with near zero testosterone, by a prostate cancer patient on ADT. She said yes, there is new research coming out of Australia, and named Rob Newton.

@climateguy
9 months ago I could not get off the floor without getting my arms onto a chair or a bed or a fence And pulling myself up.

I went to the gym three days a week and after three or four months, I was able to get up on my own without any help for anything. I used weights that were heavier and heavier as time went on because I can handle more weight.

I have no testosterone, Been on ADT for eight years. I sure seem to have built muscle.
