I couldn't agree more with everything you stated. My dad had a PSA over 8 when I took over his care when my mom died. Being a nurse, I asked his doc at the VA about it when I reviewed his results. He said at his age, in his late 70's, it would be better to practice watchful waiting. What a smart doc, he died at 88 most likely from a failed CABG done years earlier.

I also encouraged my dad to cancel his carotid endarterectomy at age 68. I was working with one of his cardiologist's nurses, who told me half of this doctors patients ended up having strokes. Besides, why would he need to clean out his carotid arteries when he was walking 3 miles a day with no symptoms like dizziness or memory loss. He obviously had collateral circulation and he never did get the endarterectomy.

Last thought, I am in my 60's and stopped having mammograms 20 years ago when I realized they cause more cancer than they prevent (read the Cochrane report). That's when I knew there was something wrong with the whole medical paradigm.

Let's not forget about the circumcision violent male genital mutilation child sexual abuse solely perpetrated upon boys for a hundred years in the so called land of "freedom and liberty" USA, so much freedom yet men don't own their own cocks.

Not to mention all of the disgusting and debased cruel jokes about circumcision and the shaming of foreskin in crappy Hollywood garbage films and banal sitcoms.

Men don't have basic genital integrity and body autonomy for a century in a land where people see themselves as world leaders and the most moral and ethical! Such evil misandrist hypocrisy.

Women talk about my body my choice, and society is blind to the routine sexual mutilation and fight flight freeze trauma that is perpetrated upon baby boys.

Also, women have optional motherhood, but fatherhood is forced and at the mercy of the woman and the state. Men don't have reproductive rights either.

Then there's the male only draft, but I digress.

Circumcision is violent blade rape.

Europe, Japan, the majority of the world - knows better.

That's actual rape culture.

Foregen is a biotech company raising money for the final phase 3 of 3 human trials on GoFundMe.

They are regenerating foreskins through regenerative medicine to reverse circumcision mutilation.

They've already had successful phase 2 animal trials and have received millions on donations.

They're almost ready to be public.

Over 6500+ species of mammals have foreskins, it is not a mistake.

It has the majority of nerve endings and sensitivity of the penis. More pleasure, lubrication, less excessive friction WHICH ACTUALLY REDUCES DISEASE TRANSMISSION! YES, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT. CIRCUMCISION=MORE FRICTION=MORE MICRO CUTS AND ABRASIONS=MORE HIV TRANSMISSION AND STDs - look it up.

European medical associations know how disgusting and crippling circumcision is.

Iceland almost banned circumcision but the selfish ADL and the USA pressured them not to. They will vote in a few years again to try to ban it again.

I hope they do.

Any culture that circumcises is not ethical or modern, but they are child sexual abusers and traumatizers.

No argument about it.

Also, they sell baby boy foreskin cells online as HFF, neonatal human foreskin fibroblasts, for $500 a vial in Sigma Aldrich and other biotech firms.

Circumcision and foreskin is a billion dollar industry.

Cosmetic companies can test their product on foreskin fibroblasts and then say they are CRUELTY FREE on their packaging! Why! Because they didn't test on the precious animals! Animals that are cared for more than human baby boys.

If you care about boys, say something.

Wowser, what a fantastic circ expose! Outing the Clintonistas and Baal Gatester.

We cannot despise them enough.

Including a lesson in functional anatomy that is easy for lay persons to follow.

Kudos

Just wanted you to know I'm a woman, I'm fully aware, my daughter is fully aware, and we share the same sentiments. Had my husband thought differently than me about leaving our son alone, lawyers would have been involved, but he feels similarly to you.

One of the most surreal things about Hollywood is this continued pretense that only Jewish boys are circumcised when in some states it's 80-90% of newborn boys. My theory is that it's so shows / movies can be re-broadcast overseas and it will make sense to people there. It's a huge departure from reality though, very jarring and nothing to be used as humor. Using it as humor is just -- unimaginable and yet common.

It's a human rights violation whether in boys or girls and there should be no exceptions for cultural or religious belief. It's barbaric, full stop. There have been a few cases of doctors murdered by men they circumcised like 20 years earlier (although I'm not sure it's always clear to the general public that that was the motivation... but they will cotton on eventually). I suppose if that continues, that may provide an end to it in the US.

I wish all success to Foregen but skin cells undifferentiate and become stem cells with application of intermittent pressure (i.e., manual tugging) which allows for structures (that some say are lost forever) to actually be re-generated. I know of men who practiced manual restoration on their own with pretty incredible results. But the more options the better!

Truth Seeker's avatar

Thank for insisting on this point however circ is a procedure, for the stupid baby mutilators not a sub specialty of medicine

Truth Seeker's avatar

24 years ago, an important study was commisioned. A state by state data review on circ.

"Tax Dollars Funding of Medically Unnecessary Circumcisions Through Medicaid"

Just pulled the spriral bound comprehensive info study. Most of the data from the late '90's.

As one might predict NJ had the highest circ rates of any state and also the highest reimbursement at over $350.. I think it was Arkansas that had the lowest rates and the lowest reimbursment at less that $60.

Male Genital Mutilation, there are a plethora of anatomical, neurolgical, and physiological reasons to refuse this insanity. Consider the welcome to the world given to male infants to include the totally un-necessary brutal physical and psychological trauma.

Was invited to do a radio talk show over 20 years ago covering this topic in detail...

And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you."

"Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.”

--Genesis 7:9-11,14.

Obviously God's covenant is not for you.

Mark.Kennard's avatar

He is the God of Israel and that instruction was for those the Israeli population of men. It is still genital mutilation and painful for the recipient who doesn’t know what’s going on though. There is no consent at all when circumcised as a baby.

Heather McKeon's avatar

I thought we were born perfect and in the image of God. By that I mean weren’t we already born perfect?

Mark.Kennard's avatar

No, not born perfect, we were born as sinners according to the bible and were created by a group of gods, not just one

SAMO's avatar

A group of gods?

Are you referring to the Trinity, the Divine Council, or the pantheon... What am I missing?

Mark.Kennard's avatar

In genesis when man was created it was a group of gods who created humans. Look it up and see for yourself

Don's avatar

He is the God of Israel, that’s true.

But Abraham’s “offspring” also include non-Israelis—i.e. Gentiles—through his first son Ishmael.

Mark.Kennard's avatar

Other regions also had their own Gods, being called different names by different nationalities through the ages. Historic documents older than the bible have some of the same stories as the bible although there is more detail and names are different. Being made in their image, they were all also nasty as well as nice. It doesn’t matter who orders genital mutilation of others with no consent, it is still barbaric and still genital mutilation. It’s certainly not something to be proud of pushing on others, by anyone

Don's avatar

One either believes the Bible or not. Your choice.

Mark.Kennard's avatar

The bible is interpreted and not believed. That’s why it causes so much grief. It was written in Hebrew and Greek with the Old Testament known as the schoolmaster days when only 10 commandments were given as rules to live by. The New Testament changed things quite a lot and abandoned the schoolmaster times of the Old Testament yet with more detail on rules of life to follow.

Truth Seeker's avatar

tis not a matter of "believing" or not, it is a matter of interpretation. Literalists fall flat when there is no way to interpret literally. The good book is full of such instances.

Mark.Kennard's avatar

And his other son was called Israel eventually as he was the forefather of the Israelites who circumcise their children

Don's avatar

Abraham’s other son was named Isaac.

It was Isaac’s son, Jacob, whom God renamed Israel.

Yes, they do, as commanded by God.

Mark.Kennard's avatar

I always get those two mixed up. Thanks for pointing it out

freelearner's avatar

Yeah and he also said if you piss me off I'll force you to cannibalize your sons and daughters. I'm a religious humanist who respects the ethics and morals which have come from the major world religions but we need to leave the barbarism behind.

Don's avatar

Where in the Bible did the God of Abraham say that?

(Answer: He didn't).

freelearner's avatar

God said it in Leviticus 26:27-29.

Don's avatar

God said "If" -- it was a warning.

God is serious about those who disobey Him.

Which brings us back to Genesis 7 and *His* command about circumcision.

RE Nichols's avatar

Famine leads people to cannibalize each other. That's one of the many horrors of it.

A lot of atrocities have occurred throughout history. And continue to this day. Humans have just become more efficient at committing them.

And then the New Testement came and many of the old ways were dropped. Some rituals and sacrifices ended when Christ gave his life for our sins.

I cannot believe we are born needing surgery.

Truth Seeker's avatar

Obviously you do not comprehend what was said or why...

Mark.Kennard's avatar

You must have missed the bit in the New Testament about baptism. That was the second covenant and took over from the first for the gentiles. So there is no need for any gentile to mutilate the genitals of their children to be accepted into the kingdom of God. Did you forget about that bit? It shows how important it is to read the whole bible and how it is key to interpretation. A whole lot of gentiles have circumcised their child for no reason. They only had to be baptised.

Don's avatar

Where in the New Testament is water baptism ever called a covenant, much less a second covenant?

And for gentiles?

Maybe in your ‘bible’, not in the Bible.

Mark.Kennard's avatar

There are other covenants in the bible like to covenant of the rainbow. But with regard to circumcision of gentiles, Paul and Barnabas were sent to Jerusalem, representing the church at Antioch as well as the greater Gentile mission. They meet with the apostles and elders there to settle this question. Must the Gentiles be circumcised in order to be saved? And the answer coming from this first church council was that no, the Gentiles did not have to be circumcised. They were essentially free from the old covenant obligations.

I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in early 2020, after PSA testing and subsequent biopsy revealed the prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 6-7 intermediate stage , then nerve sparing robotic radical prostatectomy eight months later. The whole experience from start to finish was horrific, the biopsy , the surgery and after surgery complications like a very serious infection for one. The oncologists do not tell you the whole story so most men are not making a fully informed decision, and most men experience a shock and awe situation after diagnosis. However, each case is unique. I was on no drugs at all between diagnosis and surgery. I wish I knew then what I know now. Because, there was about a seven month period where I could have begun treatment with Ivermectin and other antivirals such as Fenbendazole and Mebendazole that does not interfere with other conventional treatments. These antivirals have almost no side effects and are highly tolerated, showing great promise in what appears to be in some cases a complete reversal of various forms of cancers. These antiviral treatments are getting a lot of resistance from mainstream doctors captured by the biopharma industrial complex, (because they’re relatively inexpensive drugs) so you may need to consult alternative practitioners. Men, educate yourself before making a life altering decision, and don’t rush the decision. Fortunately in my case I’m not incontinent nor do I suffer from ED. Of course performance is not the same as before surgery, but still functional . There are alternatives. Anyway fellas, take care.

I started experiencing symptoms of BPH about 6 years ago. My doctor prescribed tamsulosin and dutasteride, explaining that the former relaxes the bladder, and the latter blocks the enzyme which causes conversion of testosterone to DHT. The results were impressive at first. Then I got Peyronie's Disease and began having some minor ED issues, so I was referred to a urologist. It was a waste of time, except for learning that the ED was likely due to the dutasteride. He suggested Vitamin E for the Peyronie's, which did nothing. He was otherwise useless, and I cancelled a future appointment. I did some research to try to find alternatives to the dutasteride, and learned that in rare cases it can lead to a hyper-aggressive form of cancer. I began cutting back while beginning a course of saw palmetto, grape seed extract, pygeum, and stinging nettle. (No, I'm not stinging "Mr. Johnson" with nettle! :-) ) I don't see doing without the tamsulosin, at least not yet. I was somewhat hip to the whole PSA/cancer song & dance, but I honestly thought the urologist might offer something useful. Silly me. But not getting up multiple times at night to urinate is a big deal to me. I like my sleep.

ESTHER THALER's avatar

Have you tried not having fluids after 4pm?

Flatulus Maximus's avatar

Oh yes! (I didn't mention it, as the post was getting long.) My cutoff point is about 6PM (bedtime about midnight), but limiting liquids (especially diuretics like coffee or tea) is also important.

ESTHER THALER's avatar

I would stop earlier and see if you have any improvement. Your Circadian Rhythms change from afternoon to evening.

As a general rule, I tell my patients never drink coffee, except in the morning and before 10am

ESTHER THALER's avatar

My apologies if you feel I’m meddling (but) do you take any natural sleep aids or melatonin?

Flatulus Maximus's avatar

No worries. Meddle all you like. I take 20 mg. of quick release melatonin about 30-60 min. prior to bed. I am having some sleep issues, but not related to prostate. (It's rare if I get up for the bathroom even once per month.) My wife and I recently attended an event by a local college and I had the opportunity to speak with the team that runs their sleep lab. They argued for having another one done--I had one about 9 years ago. That study resulted in me being prescribed nighttime oxygen for hypoxia. My situation is complicated by a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism, which I understand can affect sleep. Synthroid got my TSH/T3/T4 numbers back to normal, but I don't feel significantly better. My MD seems very averse to trying NP Thyroid, which sometimes works better. We'll be having at it again when I see him next month!

ESTHER THALER's avatar

With your doctor’s approval— may I suggest Dr Mercola’s Sleep Support…I, myself take 10mgs as I used to wake more than 1/2 dozen x’s per night. Many supplement lines are full of contaminants and Dr Mercola is the highest quality and additionally he has too much to lose by not producing the best quality. I have no vested interest. I recommend his line almost exclusively because of this.

In addition, I couple his melatonin with Gaia’s herbal supplement, Sleep Thru. I do not wake at all anymore.

I agree with you on Amours porcine thyroid.

What time do you drink your coffee or caffeinated teas or sodas?

Do you have a holistic physician on your team? Has your physician guided you to support the thyroid dx dietarily?

Flatulus Maximus's avatar

I'm not even sure I have a sleep problem. Personally I think I have a congestion problem that causes me to wake up 1-2 times per night. I'm not able to breathe through my nose (negating the O2), so I use some nasal spray and go back to sleep. What is particularly frustrating is not getting clear answers anywhere about what is "normal" for a 70 year-old man with COPD, prostate and thyroid issues. As for coffee, a.) we never drink more than 2/5 caffeinated, b.) caffeine is even lower if I make a second, smaller pot. Cutoff for coffee is usually about 5PM if any is left from the earlier brew. Let me state this clearly and unequivocally: coffee is the best beverage on the planet, and I have pared my consumption down as much as I'm willing. I gave up recreational drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. Red meat and coffee are my lines in the sand. I had to chuckle at your question re: a holistic physician. We live in a semi-rural area in KY, and "ain't got none of them critters around here." It would be a considerable drive to get to one. I'm looking into it due to the thyroid issue and dissatisfaction with my MD's handling of it so far. I'd settle for tele-health.

Maha's avatar

Have you heard that low dose PDE-5 inhibitors, i.e. 5 mg/day tadalafil, can improve prostate health and function and alleviate the need for tamsulosin and (poly) nocturia?

I had asked my physician for this and he wanted nothing to do with the idea, so I came back with a study a few months later, and by then, he apparently had learned something, so he acquiesced, and wrote the prescription.

Flatulus Maximus's avatar

I am familiar with this. I decided to continue with tamsulosin. Its potential side- effects seem less scary to me. I actually have a prescription for tadalafil, but for its other purpose. It works quite well.

ESTHER THALER's avatar

I, too, love coffee, (I have a yummy cup in my hand right now) meat & have given up all drugs & alcohol. Some years ago when I was a nutrition teacher at Hippocrates Health institute I was a vegetarian for just 2 years and my cholesterol went down to 60…my liver was bombing out! Then I was blessed to work with Dr WD Kelley, author of Metabolic Therapy: Medicines Missing Link. He taught me that there is no perfect diet for all people. You can’t force an Eskimo’s genes on a vegan diet!

But I do take issue with your intake of caffeine at such a late hour. Nevertheless, here is, I hope a lead for you in Kentucky:

Flatulus Maximus's avatar

Thanks for your kind suggestion! Unfortunately it would be more than a 2 hour drive from my home, and it doesn't appear he does telehealth. Not to worry. I'm actually not at the point of deep-sixing my MD yet. I only have been seeing him for a little over a year, and am still seeing how much I can steer him. (It's ironic: MD's are so eager to diagnose and prescribe--it's trying to get him to prescribe what I think I need that's the issue.) There may come a point where I feel he's just too intransigent to continue with. I've done some preliminary research on alternatives, and I have learned to be thorough and patient. Thankfully none of my conditions is acute enough to force a rash decision. Also, I'm feeling my way a bit with Medicare, in-network providers, blah, blah! (Life was so much simpler when I only saw an MD if I was really sick or injured. Sigh....) You are so right about matching diet to the metabolism of the patient! I'm extremely reticent to make any recommendations to people.

A year ago, at age 75, I encountered the modern doctor because of a parasite nip, here in the Australian bush. After decades without seeking medical attention, the indifference and incompetence I encountered amazed me. Were they aware of my unvaccinated status and did this affect their attitude? I guess they know the vaccine status of us all.

After considerable suffering, I can vouch for the simple ground up rock, yellow sulphur, as a cure for whatever super-scabies I contracted. I'm now left with the millions of dead creatures and their castings in my skin, but there are safe ways to deal with that also. (Sweating while you are keeping fit in the fresh air and sun is a good start.)

All of this I had to discover for myself, because I could not get a doctor even to glance at the alarming rash. All I was offered at a local hospital was antibiotics and a recommendation to go elsewhere. When I tried "elsewhere" I encountered a statins salesman who thought someone my age should be taking all kinds of chemicals for all kinds of problems I do not have. My rash? Not so much as a glance.

These people were able to mutilate my penis as an infant, and they have taken a lot of my teeth, but I still have all my other organs. Somehow, they missed tonsils and adenoids; my thyroid is still in place...

Whatever a urologist is, and whatever he offers, I won't be finding out.

Robert Yoho, MD's avatar

chlorine dioxide orally is a specific treatment

Robert Townshend's avatar

The topical sulphur is so safe, cheap, reliable and effective I'd have to go with it first. The parasite has nipped me (in three places at once!) since the first infestation a year before. It starts as a small boil or tender pimple then turns into a super-scabies. Ten cents worth of sulphur rubbed in hard smashes it. No itch, no residue.

The residue from the first infestation is still with me. When I detox, a different kind of rash returns in the original places, but each time is less severe. When I don't detox, it doesn't trouble me. Go figure.

DUANE HAYES's avatar

Hi, your article comes at a timely basis. My PSA has rose for many years, have had 2 MRI's, urine test, cancer blood marker tests, digital test, but have avoided the needle biopsy so far. My prostate is enlarged, urine flow sluggish at times. Have been on the Joe Tippens protocol, Fenbendazole and Ivermectin and other anti cancer measures. So now my PSA is 37. Going in for a cat scan soon. I have had 3 close friends die from prostate cancer, so I'm fully aware of the possibility. From my research it seems that there's a 13% chance of the cancer cells seeding from a biopsy, but in order for insurance to remove the prostate, I'm guessing that will be a requirement. I've been on many courses of anti biotics for other infections, recently a two week course for gum infection, so I don't think my PSA is from an infection. I welcome any ideas from anybody, thanks for your help.

Robert Yoho, MD's avatar

read my cancer posts from the archives starting with the Katrina one

Guylaine's avatar

"Cancer cells seeding from a biopsy " my husband had a biopsy and I asked his doctor about this, spreading of cancer cells, he said "that has never happened ". So I know he is a liar. How could he know If a cancer spreads, if it is a natural spreading or caused by the biopsy. Something he could no know never happened.

DUANE HAYES's avatar

It's well known that sticking needles into a cancer cell leaves a bloody passage that can allow some of the cancer to spread throughout the body. Some research I found said it was 13% of the cases. It could be much more. Most Naturopath and DO doctors agree with this. Whenever a doctor says this can't happen, it's because they're wed to the biopsy procedure. There are methods to reduce the danger such as using modified citrus pectin to absorb the cancer cells, I think there are other methods too. One thing I've noticed from a lifetime of observance is when a friend is given a "cancer" diagnosis, they appear healthy with little problems, but after the surgery, and possibly radiation and or chemo, they rapidly die.

Guylaine's avatar

My non-nedical common sense said if a transrectal biopsy can implant fecal matter and cause an infection, it certainly is reasonable to think the opposite on the way out could happen.

Lulu's avatar

Taking ivermectin leading up to biopsy can help prevent the spread, too.

In the end of all that, he said the worst thing was the depression. Had yhe checkbook and guns taken away, was completely untrustworthy as he was giving his money away feeling bad for everyone.

I was diagnosed with a malignant lump over ten years ago. I read everything I could find on cancer. It became exceedingly clear conventional medicine was going to kill me quickly, from the scans to the drugs, surgery, radiation, chemotherapy etc. I took a stand, altered my diet, demanded and MRI, not a cat scan and declined radiation therapy and while I did consent to surgical removal of the now golf ball sized lump, that was the only conventional medicine I allowed to invade my body. The surgeon cut a nerve, and left me with a numb area that took 8 years to heal, however I count myself lucky to survive the most horrendous ordeal of my life, an encounter with an oncologist.

I remember in an earlier post detailing your shock stumbling upon a drugstore aisle dedicated to men's diapers. While they can put a manly man on the package, it is like the proverbial lipstick on a pig: it is a diaper. Such aisles are dedicated to women's diapers. So now we have a 1/3 of the aisle dedicated to baby diapers with cute baby photos on the front and the rest to adult diapers with youthful, photogenic adults. Like seeing obese children and adults, we are supposed to pretend all is normal. You don't mention the exams for polyps in women and whether you believe they are unnecessary. I am voting for no. Luckily family members stopped pestering me to get the exam. One stopped because she died, and the rest got the hint to leave me alone.

Thank you for this important post. So many people have fallen for the colonoscopy scam, especially after katie couric showed her colonscopy prep & aftermath live on TV - it turned out she reportedly was also profitting $ financially from the colonoscopy ritual abuse program.

Gruesome to say the least. I am 75 and have never had a PSA. I have no desire to ever have one. I don't know how long I am supposed to live and don't worry much about it. My grandfather lived to be 101 and my dad is a few months short of 98 and still kicking.

Maybe some of that will rub off on me, but it didn't matter to my younger brother who died of cancer at age 45. It is not so much about living a long time, it's living into older age in decent health. Doctors have no clue how to make that happen.

regulators initiallly rec against the PSA screening

in fact, no screening lab has ever been substantiated efficacious

Yes, I totally agree with you and I'm grateful for the statistics that verified what I have always known, but at the same time it is so sad for all of those that have had to go through all of the pain and new symptoms with this medical malpractice and malfeasance. and I've known this for over 20+ years and refused to get my mammographies, never had colorectal testing and unfortunately my father was a victim of the failed surgery times two or three for prostate and pills, later to find he really had Normal hydrophile that I had to fight for over five years to get the testing for, after the surgery is three symptoms declined by 25 to 80%, however his cognitive decline and paranoia kept him from doing correct maintenance on the shunt and symptoms reoccurred. I never Saw the common sense in traumatizing tissue and then a radiating it for mammograms. Well I share this with the victims of breast cancer and prostate problems, no. They have been traumatized enough and to have gone through all of the torture of therapies, and believing in their staff And doctors I think it would just be cruel.

These issues are so sad, and I've always known this. I applaud DOCTORS like Dr. Barry who is starting his own diabetes type foundation, due to the quackery of our other diabetes foundation that have done nothing to improve the health of others that's kind of like the Hard association diet it has really ended up causing diabetic conditions. As you know other doctors have warned people about this but it didn't go well with her medical boards.

I guess it all boils down to some people would want to know, but these days I think it's a minority, and I honor that. I personally want to know, and have always had that attitude, but it always seems to get me in trouble, and I always appear to be a disturbing element or a scurry elephant is Wayne? Dyer would say. As you know it's not fun being that disturbing element, but without awareness people can't change. Thank you for your courage and perseverance and wisdom❤️🙏❤️

ADA is an industry front

Lol, yes that is what I was trying to say in my roundabout way of communicating, and that is exactly what Dr. Barry has accused them of as I find him to be one of the most well-versed doctors that encourages and does continuous education on the ketogenic diet and carnivore diet. I really wish FLCCC would've picked him up as their nutritional expert vs christene? Kristene C as he supports the diabetic education and protocol I think that FLCC is sharing as well as the generalized philosophy. I love the chronic education that he provides from interviewing various doctors and addressing many medical issues as well as complaints people have about the keto/carnivore diets❤️ go to start the 1000 P? Fluorine dioxide protocol tomorrow to hopefully increase brain functioning so I won't need prednisone, and it should also address the issues at hand not only of the cognition but other areas that have improved profoundly after doing the DMS oral protocol for Long-Haul issues. Thanks to you and A Midwestern doctor you started the ball rolling on both of those substances as well as higher dose men melatonin❤️🙏❤️

I disagree with your crazy rant. I had 2 close friends die of prostate cancer. Both would be alive today had they received early treatment. Unfortunately, they followed advice such as yours.

Rob, I appreciate your input but you are the victim of a kind of Stockholm Syndrome. You can get a free ebook of Butchered by "Healthcare" to learn more.

Rob Thomas's avatar

I'm not a victim of anything... you are a quack. And the sheep that believe your nonsense are just as pathetic.

Dude one more and you get banned. We try to be respectful.

See my comment, I've had 3 close friends die prostate cancer. But I also know that many of the comments Dr. Yoho made are true as well. Seems in the mix there should be a better path.

Robert Yoho, MD's avatar

my take on that surgery is that it is never indicated

see the rest of the comments here for more

I've had 2 inguinal hernia surgeries, and that is as close as I'm letting anyone get to Mr. Happy with a scalpel (or other implement of torture). It's an ironclad moratorium on sharp objects anywhere near my pee-pee. (Hmm... could it have anything to do with the fact that doctors were snipping "a little off the top" mere moments after I was born?)

Truth Seeker's avatar

of course you do! false beliefs are like that especially when da trump card is death

Rob Thomas's avatar

Lots of trump cards are dealt.... check the obituaries.

Truth Seeker's avatar

most do not die from Prostate CA but with it.

That is a relatively unknown fact.

Eating the standard American Diet and taking the Quax's has consequences...

Just saying

Truth Seeker's avatar

nice try but a fail. 20 mil dead from the mRNA quaxcine countless more disabled. Pay attention and not to obituaries.

Data from insurance actuary tables is the high road.

Clearly you are a lay person.

Rob Thomas's avatar

I was referring to obituaries that reveal the cause of death like the Wikipedia obits. There are many deaths caused by prostate cancer. These deaths could have been avoided by annual PSA screening and early intervention where necessary..... PERIOD.

Robert Yoho, MD's avatar

wrong. RTFB

Truth Seeker's avatar

Incorrect. Wiki is the fake news echo chamber.

The disease begins as Benign prostatic hyperplasia and offers years of opportunity to remediate. There are details.... period.

Dissipate into the keyboard warrior fog...

PSA markers are unreliable... period False positives, False negatives

etc
