I am grateful for all the information posted on this thread

I was diagnosed 6 months ago, chose AS, and have been trying to get the best information to help myself  so far I have taken extra vitamin D, have lost 1 and a half stone, eaten more veg less meat and taken Pomi-t. My PSA is stable (8-7.5)but of course no idea what it would have been without these (I feel very well - maybe just in the mind). From the information above I certain will not be changing anything.

There does seem to be confusion about take extra fish oil supplements - does anyone know about whether these help?

Mike, have you bought the Prostate Care cookbook - published by Prostate Cancer Research UK and available on Amazon and other places. One of the few peer reviewed, research based diet books available.

As with other foods, it is better if you can include oily fish in your diet rather than take supplements. Here is the NHS advice not to take omega / fish oil supplements:

Ouch, I've not seen that before.

I don't take fish oil supplements, but I do eat a lot of salmon, which is high in omega-3 fish oils. I found about 10 years ago, it stopped some joints aching which had been aching for a few years (and they've never ached since).

I still get as much fish into John as I can - but he did stop taking the Omega tablets after this was published. I can't remember the details of the research now but from memory, most of the participants had far higher levels in their system than could be achieved just from diet so the assumption was that they were taking supplements.

Hello

I have been taking pomi-T for a number of year now and it has definitely helped me. It also helps my knee and hand pains from a joint wear and tear issue. I have alway bought from the main website pomi-t.co.uk and the price has never changed - as far as I can remember. It would be nice if it was cheaper though!

Yep been on the Pomi T's for about 3 years now. Always take one with my breakfast, it's become a ritual.

Get mine from Amazon.

I have just completed the UK Yourphyto Trial - also run by Cambridge and Bedford. The doctors used a new supplement which is made in the UK - it appears to be an upgraded version Pomi-T which I have now stopped. My PSA was going up and now it stabalised again so I'm please. I also took it with a probiotic. They tell me the results will be published in January.

Hi All,

 I wonder if anyone knows when the patent on the original formulation of Pomi-T is due to expire?  I've tried a Google search, but couldn't find anything quickly - just a link to a government website which produces a list of all current patents, but with no search facility for an individual entry.  I've also tried to find out via Google when it was first marketed, so that I might be able to hazard a guess as to when the patent is likely to expire.  Even the Pomi-T company, which reports on the randomised control trial of Pomi-T, doesn't actually say when the trial concluded, let alone when the formulation was patented.  My thinking is that, once the patent expires, cheaper, generic versions may become available.

Many thanks for any suggestions as to how to obtain this information.

Best wishes,

JedSee.

I don't think it has a patent. It does not claim to be a medicine, it is a food. 

I'm sure it has a secret recipe like coca-cola or  Kernel Sanders KFC (other carbonated drinks and fried chickens are available). If you break in to the factory and blow the safe then you may find the recipe. There is no other way they will release the recipe.

Hi all

Based on my experience and other men in the trial I spoken to, it sounds like Pomi-t will be replaced by yourphyto.

The doc's in the hospital tell me the final results will be out in January.  I was given it free, in the trial, with a probiotic which is now called yourgutplus  but unfortunately I now buy them from a local shop.  I understand it's also available online - for me it's cheaper than Pomi-t. My waterworks are a lot better and my PSA has come down so I'm  happy to take for the moment. I just hope these new people don't get gready and start creeping the price up.

Hello all

I have been following the interesting presentations at ASCO Urology 25 (San Francisco) and the results of the trial from Cambridge which used Yourphyto plus a probiotic  were presented

This seems to be the official report which can be read 

I also found this summary which is easier to read

I am on AS since December, and decided to take this combination of phyto and probiotics daily, since early January.

Taking 2 phyto tablet + 1 probiotics a day.

I don't know if this is more a psychological thing, but I feel good with it, things function a little bit better down there, no problems of urine leftovers, which was slightly annoying before.

I will be adding from this week also fish oil for omega 3 supplement as I have read some researches (also published in the forum) that this might help to slow down cell growth. I went for a wild sustainable fish oil version. Also reducing Omega 6 oils to healthy ones only.

As this is something in my control, why not... I feel great diet wise 

My next PSA test is at the end of March and I am looking forward to it, and see the trend. 

Although we have found Gleason 6, 5.7 PSA, I have it spread across the 4 areas, so high likelihood I will need a treatment in the future, but want to think in a positive way that have this diet and supplements might be a good way to tackle it in the near term future...

If not, at least I am having a healthy diet...
