Report on Lab Tests w/Sutherlandia OPC and prostate cancer
Posted tonight in the Yahoo Oleandersoup Group (note the use of the Budwig Diet and the Inositol/IP6 along with the Sutherlandia OPC oleander based supplement):
I have been in email conversation with Marc Swanepoel and have learned
MUCH from him. I believe that Sutherlandia OPC is a major factor in
the improvement of my numbers these past four months. Here are the
results of my blood tests for a blood draw on 11.11.08 at Alta Bates
Cancer Center (Berkeley). I am encouraged with my numbers, which
indicate significant progress in the relatively brief period of time
that I have been using Sutherlandia OPC.
Date | PSA | % fPSA | PSADT | Tst | DHT | E2 | T/E2 | T/DHT
Range | <4.0 | >20% | >2.51 | >500 | 30-80 | <70 | >55 | >10
01/24/08 | 26.2 | 10.0 | 2.32 | 0709 | 102 | 24.0 | 29.5 | 07.0
07/22/08 | 31.3 | 07.9 | 2.28 | 1550 | 238 | 25.0 | 62.0 | 06.5
09/23/08 | 25.0 | 09.5 | 2.66 | 0916 | 163 | 26.0 | 35.2 | 05.6
11/11/08 | 22.9 | 10.3 | 2.87 | 0573 | ~95 | 18.0 | 31.8 | 06.0?
My PSA dropped from 31.3 (7/22/08) to 25.0 (9/23/08) and then to 22.9
(11/11/08) and my % Free PSA went up from 7.9% to 10.3% in this time
period. The movement of both of these numbers is positive.
My PSA doubling time (PSADT) at the time of my diagnosis of PCA in
June 2006 was 2.51 years. At the time of my diagnosis on 6/26/06 my
PSA was 14.9 and that was 29 months ago.
You will note the question mark in the matter of my serum DHT number.
LabCorp did not do the test as requested by my oncologist, so that
number is a guess on my part, based in part on my saliva DHT results
with a number of >125 [ref. range = 39-89] for a specimen submitted to
Diagnos-Techs on Nov. 3, 2008.
