There are no drugs you can take, that are not the ones recommended by doctors for prostate cancer, that work. Not sure what you’re looking at, but there is a lot of bogus information out there. The guy that used to write the Dilbert comics tried alternate drugs before he decided to actually go on to the real thing. He is dead. Delaying real treatment can result in a very short overall survival.

Here’s one of the bogus treatments

@jeffmarc Thank you for your input Jeff.

There are repurposed drugs that are recommended by some doctors as part of some treatment protocols for prostate cancer. Please note the terms "some doctors" and "some treatment protocols". I never stated, nor meant to imply, that repurposed drugs were the entire treatment protocol.

Also, please note I stated recommended by "care professionals" in my original post, not celebrity endorsers, nor internet influencers, nor quacks.
