I’m a walking experiment. At 48 I was diagnosed with advanced PC with spread to 1 lymph. Radiation and hormone deprivation for 16 months. Psa went from 70 down to .8 I chose to go carnivore and start trt 6 months ago. Will be getting blood work soon so shall be interesting.
If hormone treatment brings down the PSA what does it do to the cancer? And if that's true why even have radiation if the goal is to get the PSA down in the first place!? Wtf!
I am a Stage 4 recurrence patient with one spot on one bone (along with some lymph node invasion) and currently on Zytiga and Lupron for an undetermined period of time. I can tell you that ADT has seriously F'd my life up, but the most scary part was when the depression took over and I thought about possibly doing some self-harm to myself. Thankfully, I went to my primary care doctor who told me to double up on my current dosage of my anxiety med and that seemed to work. I can also tell you that I wish I known about this research when my recurrence was first diagnosed last December and I possibly would have not gone in the direction ADT. Good luck to any man currently with prostate cancer as I understand the physical and emotional toll all too well.
I finished 18 months of Lupron and will never take it again. 7 months Carnivore and PSA remains undetectable. Testosterone now 551. No TRT, that's the red meat. I also take fenbendazole and high dose melatonin. I am not a fan of the medical system. I have fired a few Urologists who stopped learning after they graduated school.
Thank you for the informative video . I have an enlarged prostate at 67 years old , a healthy lifestyle, and sleep apnea with Cpap. My doctor says the size of an orange, PSA stable at or below 7, guided biopsies of a few spots, benign. My Dad had prostate cancer at 65 and lived to 95. The doctor is against checking T level, so i had a test done at Quest. Results 310 , estradiol 28, may have to get a different doctor to prescribe T therapy
I am a stage four prostate cancer patient who has had surgery, radiation and am on ORGOVYX and Zytiga for two years. My PSA is undetectable. I exercise daily, have kept my weight down, and while I have severe ED I still can have orgasms. I guess I’m lucky in that regard!
This is a really important discussion... I am 66, was on TRT for about 6 years looked and felt my best ! All changed last Nov., stopped TRT following a positive MRI, then biopsy with a PC diagnosis Gleason 3+4 and very low risk Decipher test. I'm choosing active surveillance. Despite a recent history of low T scores: 117, 183, 376 and feeling like crap my Urologist will not even consider TRT. He actually said "it's like throwing gasoline on your cancer". I cannot find any evidence to support that but am finding opinions to the contrary; like this video. If Dr. Huggins was still alive today I think he would be tared and feathered.
You should know about Abe Morgantaler Harvard. Been promoting TRT for a long time and he is one of the top Gurus. Another guy is Larry Lipshultz Baylor Houston.
You dont need to have low testosterone if you have had prostate problems. It is unapposed DHT ( A testosterone derivitive from enzymatic conversion) that causes prostate problems The solution is not to keep testosterone low [ or crash it] but to start upping PROGESTERONE levels. Progesterone protects the prostate from DHT and it is anti inflametory. I take progesterone cream every day because Im on a huge amount of testosterone. My T levels are way over the upper limit of labcorp testing which just says >1500 ng/ dL. Im on TRT and take 235-280 mg of testosterone cypionate a week

Six years ago I was told I had an enlarged prostate,I had mri scan plus a biopsy no cancer found, Psa every 12 months for 5 years levels rising from 3.4 to 7.5,Last year I was given another mri plus biopsy results were Gleason 6,I was given the choice of prostate removal.chemotherapy or active monitoring,I chose active monitoring. I have since had psa every 3 months for the last 12 months,my psa has dropped to 5.3,this Saturday I get another mri scan.
Chemo and radiation are to make people worse. Find a placebo control study with any of those things. Use ketogenic diet and better yet carnivorous diet and see how you do. Also look into manual massage of the prostate. I've heard of that a couple times. Personally not aware of a prostate problem but I have cancer so researching all kinds.
This is exactly why I don't want to do anything with my prostate cancer. You had a Gleason six and they wanted to radiation or prostatectomy! Mike leeson score was 3 + 4 = 7 with a volume 5%! Of the four! And they all wanted to do treatments! Like I was ready to die next week! Unbelievable! I don't trust these doctors!

Pretty interesting. It’s never made sense to me that T would fuel prostate cancer. If that was the case young men would have prostate cancer.

Good information, it is sad that there is still a lot of unknown. I'm 77 healthy, weight train, did the finasteride way back 20 yrs ago mainly for hair loss anyways PSA ended at 24, Gleason 7, 3+4 and then Brachytherapy in 2020 and it went to 2.5. Today it is 7 and we are just monitoring it, feel great and my urologist says ADT when at 10 which I want to avoid, so we will see. Forgot to add every time I get PSA done they do automatic testosterone, and pre operation it ranged 500-700 and today is at 450.
With my PC, I was 4+3 T2C. I had hormones (the tablets that decrease sensitivity to testosterone, so I did not lose thae ability to make testosterone. However, went wrong and BOOSTED my testosterone (UK system from 4.0 to 21). The PSA score went up in 3 months from 3.1 to 4.0 so it definately changes your PSA and probably makes the cells a bit more energetic, but as to how much it makes the cancer proliferate is definately debatable. I would try Dendritic Cell Like Therapy instead of hormones. They then put me on the leutenising Hormone Spressing implant, tht crashed my testosterone and nearly brough on a heart attack and all the other symptoms. Horones have a part to play but only for late stage cancer. I think the future is DCT (very promising T cell based substitute fore hormone replacement) .

Thank you so much I am 22 months past being coerced,, deceived, extorted and intimidated into getting injected against my will with one six month shot of Eligard. Never warned about ALL the horrific quality of life destroying and life shortening side effects, and certainly never warned that that Eligard would leave me hypogonadal for years or forever. Then, two months later, began 25 fractions of 68 Grey IMRT. My dictator doctor at the CROSS CANCER INSTITUTE ordered me on ADT for two years for locally advanced Gleason 3 plus 4, only 3 percent 4, PSA 42 cancer The ADT CASTRATION effects were so INSUFFERABLE that I refused further ADT. MY T dropped to 9, well below castrate level and my PSA gradually dropped to ZERO on ultra sensitive tests. The fatigue, muscle loss, loss of libido and orgasms were insufferable, but the worst was the severe brain fog. Now, 18 months after the first and only Eligard shot expired, my testosterone has only recovered to 150 and I am experiencing painful gynecomastia. I ask my GP for an aromataize inhibitor for the gyno, and for TRT. Absolutely refused. The CROSS refuses to see me or even consider any follow up care. They have treated me like a concentration camp inmate rather than a human with rights. I am having to resort to off prescription TRT in order to reclaim some semblance of quality of life?? It is much easier here in Alberta to deal with insufferable effects of ADT CASTRATION by getting a MAID (medical assistance in dying) injection to kill myself, than to get simple self administered Testosterone. Thank you and you guests for advocating for patients.
The lady said it in the first 5 min everything you needed to hear! Stop eating junk food, seed oil, sugar/carbs exercise, get sun improve your metabolic health!!!!🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
So low testosterone is likely a cause so they chemically castrate. I heard him say science in there one time. Dr's don't do science they use science against you.
I have fought with my Doctor for 16 years to get testosterone replacement therapy. He refuses we got into a heated argument about it and while now he's retiring and I have to find a new Doctor but I have Always said 16 years of no, no sign of Cancer whatsoever and I can't seem to get it. I am angry.I am just so angry for 16 years.I can't get it.I need help
I have meststic prostate cancer and more testosterone would be great to help build muscle to help lift more weight to build more bone And make me a healthier person Zero T causes so many problems in the body I have been on ADT and daralutamide for 2 years I lift as much weight as i can I do what ever I want They say I nearly have osteoperosis I asked my oncologist if I could have a break from ADT but they say what if what if it gets worse No sense of adventure They just follow the ADT guidelines and don't think out side that.
Why in the world would they give you ADT treatments when all it does is make you sick,, fatigue lose weight gain weight loss of bone density depression I want to make my body healthy to fight cancer. Not weaken it I will refuse all hormone treatments.
Read Edward Friedmans book. He presents data that suggests it is estrogen responsible for progression. Testosterone is converted to Estrogen by aromatase enzyme. Aromatase enzyme inhibitors might block any progression with TRT.
I have BPH .82 yrs old and feel hypogonadal , no energy etc my PSA is 1.4 My blood is hypo Hb .......Will supplements of Iron and B 12 help being hypo gonadal
Thank you for the content. TRT is important but getting TRT does not itself fix ED, fixes low or no libido but does little if a guy is pushing a rope. Most docs, including Urologists are not the expertise with TRT or other HRT as your guest. (The optimal range and whether a guy with BPH should be dosing) Not all Urology docs are expert in TRT. Especially on optimal ranges of free and total T. A guy with a high PSA is told not to get TRT when that is an old false narrative by average docs. (non expert) A guy has to be their own advocate. Follow the data and science. Yes, I have been treated by three of the the top Urology groups in ACL but only one person in the third group correctly diagnosed ED resulting from veno occlusive deficiency with a Doppler study. And that was only after I took him the research paper. Before that his colleagues were just trying to sell ED treatments without knowing whether I had leaky veins. That is, just trying to hawk the “snake oils” like shock waves, ED meds, stem cells shots, and other wallet emptying treatments never seeking root cause of the ED. The Doppler exam study should have come before the expensive failed treatments that will never help anyone with leaking veins. TRT is good for well being, and libido, but not directly related to ED. TRT can put a man in a good range of free Testosterone and still have ED because the cause of ED has not been identified. My 2 cents.
I like his topics but I don't like this Dr Geo his little noises he makes after every other sentence the other person makes. Like... "Um-mm". "That's right". Etc. extremely annoying hearing those little sounds he makes. Does anybody else pay attention to those little sounds he makes? Annoying sounds!
I think hormone treatments eat lupron etc is all a pharmaceutical conspiracy. Back in 1971 when President Nixon gave close to 2 billion dollars to the Kansas institution That's when the chemical companies came up with this great idea of chemical suppression of testosterone. that testosterone was the fuel for cancer. I don't believe anything.
I am a stage three prostate cancer patient who has had surgery, radiation and am on ORGOVYX and Zytiga for two years. My PSA is undetectable. I exercise daily, have kept my weight down, and while I have severe ED I still can have orgasms. I guess I’m lucky in that regard!
I’m a walking experiment.
At 48 I was diagnosed with advanced PC with spread to 1 lymph. Radiation and hormone deprivation for 16 months.

Especially on optimal ranges of free and total T. A guy with a high PSA is told not to get TRT when that is an old false narrative by average docs. (non expert) A guy has to be their own advocate. Follow the data and science.
Yes, I have been treated by three of the the top Urology groups in ACL but only one person in the third group correctly diagnosed ED resulting from veno occlusive deficiency with a Doppler study. And that was only after I took him the research paper.
Before that his colleagues were just trying to sell ED treatments without knowing whether I had leaky veins. That is, just trying to hawk the “snake oils” like shock waves, ED meds, stem cells shots, and other wallet emptying treatments never seeking root cause of the ED.
The Doppler exam study should have come before the expensive failed treatments that will never help anyone with leaking veins. TRT is good for well being, and libido, but not directly related to ED. TRT can put a man in a good range of free Testosterone and still have ED because the cause of ED has not been identified.
My 2 cents.
I'm 70. 2 leasions I 4..3 and3+4. 28 radiation therapy 3 months later PSA 1.9. No adh treatment. Kettering network
What was your PSA prior to treatment?
could it be nerve issues?

For some, historical context matters and that starts earlier.
@@DrGeoProstatePodcast Chit chat about a woman in urology not so interesting.
I have had 18 month ADT and PSA is now .0145,i.e.,cured. This flies in the face of what this discussion is saying
She's not a MD?
how about supraphysiological level of test?
Fascinating subject but this guy managed to make it seem boring. His microphone sound is terrible too.
Her (quieter) Mic was making static noise too.
Would a Botox injection help with the tight scrotum muscles?
Summary please
Am in care of MSK
We're all missing a key ingredient: iodine
For your info.
Audio not balanced well. Your mike is way too loud, compared to hers......
Annoying...
Ps
Great topic though👍
OK. Thank you for your feedback.
I like his topics but I don't like this Dr Geo his little noises he makes after every other sentence the other person makes. Like... "Um-mm". "That's right". Etc. extremely annoying hearing those little sounds he makes. Does anybody else pay attention to those little sounds he makes? Annoying sounds!
I think hormone treatments eat lupron etc is all a pharmaceutical conspiracy. Back in 1971 when President Nixon gave close to 2 billion dollars to the Kansas institution That's when the chemical companies came up with this great idea of chemical suppression of testosterone. that testosterone was the fuel for cancer. I don't believe anything.
I wish Dr George went to interrupt all the time. And quit saying....."um-mm"!!!!!!!
Always interrupting!
If you want me to watch at least get the grammar right in the headline.
Lol😂😂😂
The shocking truth about.....not between
OK. Thank you for your feedback.
45:05 bottom line
Thanks 👌
I am a stage three prostate cancer patient who has had surgery, radiation and am on ORGOVYX and Zytiga for two years. My PSA is undetectable. I exercise daily, have kept my weight down, and while I have severe ED I still can have orgasms. I guess I’m lucky in that regard!
