Understand, thanx.
I think we need to be cautious in bringing off "science" topics into play as I have seen folks latch on to "hope" in simplistic solutions.
I think keeping one's medical team informed so if there are drug interactions or you start experiencing side effects, they can advise, is sound practice.
TMI is generally not a thing for me when consulting one's medical team.
I guess my question is how does one separate the impact of things you describe versus treatment based on science, whether you take them together, after completing treatment...
For example, after I completed triplet therapy, I experienced a five year PFS period. Now if I was taking the things you describe during that treatment or PFS period, how do you distinguish if they had any impact...!?
You can't and that's my point.
Too often I see folks in this forum and others posting that these drugs have "controlled" their PCa.
I call BS, they haven't controlled the variables so no way to attribute any cause and effect.
It's like I say when I make a treatment decision, I can't run separate and parallel studies in two different universes of me so we'll never know if I'd done something different, would it have changed the outcome!?

IF I had been granted another 3rd PSA test prior to surgery, and my level had significantly dropped, I could have (and probably would have) drawn the colloquial conclusion that FenBen and IVR had contributed to or caused the drop. (Either that or answered prayers.) Because this was the ONLY change implemented in my life. (IF this occurred, I'm wise enough to know that I'd be wasting my time trying to convince anyone of how I achieved my personal results, so I'd share my story and leave it at that.)
My life isn't a clinical study, and I don't have to follow strict guidelines when making personal decisions. Outside of my radiation + ADT and prostatectomy surgical options, the medical community provided me with zero possible cancer combating protocols, medications, vitamins, or supplements, etc. I read enough colloquial evidence about these meds to seek them out. They are safe if not taken in mass quantities. They are also relatively inexpensive and obtainable. So, I implemented them, have zero regrets, and I'd do it again.
