Hello 

I would like to share my experience of a trial I have just completed at Bedford Hospital and was wondering if anyone else took part - and what they thought of it. The trial had over 200 men, like me on surveillance.

My PSA had been stable for a long time but started going up (from 5 - 9) more recently despite a healthy diet, lots of exercise, vitamin D and pomi-T etc. My MRI showed slight progression of my cancer (Gelason 3plus 4) but disease remained small according to the urologist.

Instead of going for radiotherapy I was offered this trial - I took this new capsule which had 6 different foods (the information sheet said a mixture of foods and extracts),  I took it along side a probiotic. I had some improvement in getting up at night and urgency which I was very pleased with because despite tamsulosin i was getting up 3 time at night - now 1-2. My psa came down to between 6.5-8 and a repeat MRI was stable so I decided to stay on surveillance.

I am still not sure if it was the new capsule or the probiotic which helped - either way I am glad I entered the trial. The doctors said they will publish the trial next Jan

Ah, that sounds like Professor R.T. since it's Bedford.

I've done his Pomi-T for 6 years. He's done some newer products he thinks are more effective, but they were too expensive for me.

Hi Andy

Thanks - yes he was one of the doc's doing the study but, on the trials forms, there were people from Australia and USA involved as well

I got the supplements free in the study and I have managed to find Yourphyto now in a local shop and online - it is actually cheaper than my previous pomi-T. I don't know yet if I was on the probiotic or not though. The nurse tells me these are now called yourgutplus but as you say they can add up.
