Dairy Free Diet

The oncologist was much more positive and had already scheduled surgery and explained I would be put on hormones immediately afterwards. She suggested rt after the surgeon couldn't get clear margins and the found cells in my lymph nodes.

Pre surgery PSA was 15. After was still 4.5. After 3 months hormones it was 0.01. It has been that for 17 months.

I am eating so much healthier and lost 2 stone since surgery. Partly dairy free but also cutting out carbs. Not part of my cancer diet but helped me get from obese to overweight. The hormone made me put on weight. I also walk about 10 miles a week to help retain the leg muscle tone, also lost from the hormones.

Hello Russell.

I was diagnosed 2011, and went dairy free in October 2011. It is now easy... and why now I wonder why do we drink the milk of another animal, when all other mammals only give milk to their own infants to give them a "boost' of growth.... do we really want to promote new growth (cancer) as we are adults?... just my dairy-free thoughts!
I have also given up red meat too... it is a personal choice, but at diagnosis T3B, Gleeson 8 and PSA 41, I am now PSA 0.1after 4 years, so I am thinking I perhaps had good treatment, and also made good life-style decisions......
But, of course, it is unproven, and a personal choice.

I repeat... it is really a personal choice! Good Luck!

Hi Russell

I have also gone dairy (and meat) free since diagnosis this May.  The argument is that crop fields are sprayed to kill bugs and increase yields.  The cows then eat these crops and are also injected with growth hormones.  More for profit than quality?  We then eat or drink this produce which must contain, possibly microscopic, amounts of bad stuff for us.  We also wrap the produce in plastic and add preservatives, stabilisers, colouring, etc, etc.  I know this isn't very scientific but maybe going totally organic is better.  My Grandfather grew fruit and veg in his garden and kept chickens, this must have been healthier in those days.

Good luck with your diet and exercise

Hi Russel

If I had been at the sharp end like George would I have gone down the same diet route? Most likely Yes.

If I had been at low risk: G6 and had surgery – would I have cut out any dairy and red meat? Most likely No.

As I see myself as somewhere in the middle I do have some, only some, dairy and non organic red meat – still here 10 years on. Did I choose right?

Whatever your diet enjoy

Hi Russell
I've been on no dairy, no red meats, no processed meats etc since diagnosis in January this yr.
I'm following as much as possible a mediterranean diet with lots of fish, fruit and vedge and everything has to be organic. I take squeezed lemon with hot water every morning which helps the alkalinity of yr body.
My bible is The Rainbow Diet by Chris Woolams which I'd recommend everybody to read.
I eat lots of fruit sometimes as juices. My next step is daily enema's.

A very good friend who had terminal stomach cancer and was told there are no more treatment is now clear after 2 years following the Gerson treatment only. The Rainbow Diet is supposedly the next best thing without having to go through as much as the Gerson demands.

At the moment I'm hedging my bets with HT which has brought my psa down from 235 to 0.07.
