Replying to the fungi discussion. Unfortunately there is no investment in products that have no profit potential.
Turkey tail is thought to augment chemo effects but no controlled studies being done on many potentially effective alternative therapies. Hopefully there will be more investigations done on natural products yet with no profit possibilities.

"How long can you live with Stage IV Prostate Cancer" are words I've learned not to say and a question I've learned not to ask. So I have replaced them with these words. "How well can I live today?" "What can I do to help make this world a bit better today." I understand what three oncologists and a bunch of oncology nurses have told me. "I've got this thing that can never be cured; it can only be treated."

Like many other Stage IV buddies, have discovered living well works best. That means a Wellness Program of nutrition, not diets, exercise and intentional movements, Spirituality practiced daily, and Friendship. So you, like me, can become the best version of ourselves forever.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 with numerous Mets in bones. Started treatment with Lupron in November 2022 and added zytiga January 2023. Also started provicto Jan 2023. Psa undetectable lesions improved as per comparison scans. We seem to be at same starting point.

So very well said and inspiring. We can all get beyond the me and what has been lost but it is the getting beyond ourselves to the oneness of us all and thanks for what are and have at any moment.
“Be Here Now” may warrant another read 50 years later!

Yes! Dealing with cancer brings about a new perspective on existentialism.

@melcanada, oh dear. I'm chasing around your multiple posts about claims of herbs or supplements clearing cancer. I'm afraid I'm repeating myself, but it's important to state that one must remain open-minded yet skeptical considering complementary or alternative treatments. Learn about the potential benefits and risks. As per the disclaimer for Mayo Clinic Connect https://connect.mayoclinic.org/blog/about-connect/tab/disclaimer/
"All information shared by members on the Mayo Clinic Connect, such as messages, images, advice, URLs, and any other material, is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on the community."

One of my favorite websites for finding evidence-based info about herbs and supplements is Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) complementary therapies database:
– Search About Herbs (cancer specific) https://www.mskcc.org/cancer-care/diagnosis-treatment/symptom-management/integrative-medicine/herbs/search

Keep in mind that natural substances can also have toxicities, adverse side effects and treatment interactions.
