Re: Regarding soy - Oy!
I think it's kind of funny that you're casting soy as the mainstream, "big money" boys. When, at least when it comes to the treatment of prostate cancer, it is definitely stuck away in a corner as the "alternative" treatment.
Don't know how much you know about prostate cancer, and mainstream medicine's recommended treatments. But soy is certainly not among them! I found out about it by accident, and by desperation, when I read Michael Milken's book.
You may know something about Milken: the disgraced financier, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1993. He rejected everything the doctors told him, and went looking for something that would work. You might want to check out his prostate cancer diet.
Anyway, his own story was only part of his book. Most of it outlines the battles that others have waged, and what they found worked for them. Over and over, a big part of their "arsenal", was soy. Milken and most of those in his book eat a LOT of soy!
I took my cue from them, and started the daily soy shakes. A couple months later, I stumbled across progesterone cream...while adding DIM, flax seed, etc. to my daily routine.
Within 5 months, the pea-sized nodule on my prostate had disappeared. And my PSA, which had gone from 0.74 to 11.5, zoomed back down below 1.00.
Since then, obviously, I've stuck with the soy. Every time I mention it to someone, on-line, one or two soy-haters emerge, with pretty much your point of view. They seem especially upset with the "soy industry"...though guys like Milken and myself are obviously only interested in passing alone what works,not promoting soy sales. Geez!
That's my story. Visitors to this site can read it, and evaluate it, just as I was doing with Milken's book, 3 years ago. They can also contemplate your long diatribe against soy, for what it's worth.
Whatever their decision, I strongly suggest any newly-diagnosed prostate cancer patient start by reading Michael Milken.
Thanks....
