To blueberry or not to blueberry that is the question, if only we had the answers.
I don't really go with diet in early years playing a contribution in pca . Trevor was born in England from first generation Jamaican parents his Mum was a farm girl born and raised in Jamaica until she came to England and she cooked traditional Jamaican food so he was raised on fresh fruit, chicken , fish lots of fish, rice so really a healthy diet it was also just after the war and rationing was still in force. He has eaten a very healthy diet all of his life.
Since being diagnosed his typical add ons are blue berry's , strawberrys in fact any kind of berrys, apricots , walnuts, turmeric lots of turmeric he used to have this on his porridge he know has it on soup every day. Pomegranite juice , coconut juice, sun dried tomatoes lots of these, he snacks on these . Do any of these help ? he believes so and that is what is important .

That just about sums up my views also Julie.....
I've always eaten a healthy diet by choice....... Having been into sport all my younger years and road cycling up to a few years ago I've always been particular about my eating habits.....
My father died of metastatic prostate cancer 30 years ago at 55 years of age.
Medicine and science has moved on considerably since then.
In my case I would guess that a genetic link would be far more significant than any food I may or may not have eaten in the past or in the future....

Genetic -around 5% of breast and prostate cancers
Other factors including environmental - the rest
That's what the current science is telling us :-(

Hi, thanks sjtb for posting the link on Pomi T. What I found interesting was :
1 The man who developed it is an oncologist at Addenbrookes .
2 He looked at previous studies and took what they considered most promising and
3 tested it on 200 men.
His resullts have been encouraging so further tests will need to be done but it looks good to me and the OH. I think we first became aware of this around the middle of last year.
So look at the link and maybe give it a go but you might want to check with your own oncologist first . (OH's wanted to know all supplements he was taking before treatment began .)

I was a bit confused at the part at the bottom of the article about causing other cancers, but I think that was other supplements. I will ask about it at the OH's next check up. We go to Addenbrooke's too. I think anything is worth a go, my OH won't change his diet, he is a beef farmer, so he would not give up eating it, we eat it on average once a week. He doesn't eat lots of dairy, but I suggested he give up some of it and he won't. I told him about the Pomi-T and got a funny look!
User
I will be interested to hear what your Onco says about the Pomi T please?

Ok, but not going until May!!

I think Chris (exbus) took part in the trial.
I take two capsules a day. At the end of the day it's purely natural stuff.
There was something on prime time tv this week that discussed it which was encouraging.
Check out the website

interesting stuff, everyone. I read somewhere in a clinical study, that actually 'squirting' neat Vitamin D on PCa cells in a petri dish, visibly shrunk the cells.... so many interesting leads. It would be interesting to consider which countries have the lowest incidents of PCa and look at their food and lifestyles etc. I think China has low PCa rates for example..

I think you are right Ali, they have the lowest Breast Cancer rates too, and are discussed in Jane Plants book. I agree with comments made earlier by Lyn and yourself ref this subject, but found Jane Plants book interesting to read in conjunction with the Pr Ca Cookbook - if you have time!
I should add that I have read these books - but we don't follow them completely, have just taken a few pointers. I tried to get my OH to follow strictly but was told that I was 'nagging'!! :-)
Take care
