I already have what I assume is an adequate intake of Lycopeine from fresh
and processed tomatoes. I eat a head of broccoli in some or another form daily. I'm a chilli-head, so get a fair dose of Capsaicin. But recently bought at Holland & Barret in UK, a shebang of supplements, some of which I now realise are of too low a dosage to be of much practical use. I'm confused too, about some of the labels. SOME doses are marked in various gram amounts while others are marked in i.u. amounts. An example is Co-Q10 - the tablets are 30mg to be taken 3 times a day. I saw one reference that a meaningful dose should be MUCH higher. Another - Selenium dose is 100ug - once a day - is that enough? Vitamin D - very interesting recent stuff - The Vitamin D sold by Holland & Barret and supposedly the strongest available is 10 ug (400 i.u.) and although I stressed that I wanted Vit D3, it does not say that on the label - so it might not be Cholecalciferol I'm taking. The Milk Thistle is 175 mg taken 3 times a day. Pomegranate Extract has a quite baffling label so I wont say anything more on that. I Stopped taking the Soya Isoflavones (for geneisten) because I've read somewhere that some other isoflavone in the compound can be harmful in PCa WOULD some kind soul who has more knowledge than I do, please post up a list of food supplements thought to be helpful in PCa, together with a realistic daily dose? I'm certain I wouldn't be the only guy to benefit from that. Thanks. HUGHIE

He now views zinc as neutral in normal dosages with regards to prostate cancer, although 150mg or more a day is still dangerous. Also, his warning against soy products and other phytoestrogens has to be taken with a grain of salt. All of his patients are on Proscar (5 mg. finasteride per day), and according to my model, such patients are much more sensitive to the negative effects of phytoestrogens than ordinary people would be. Therefore, the results he observed are accurate, but the severity he observed only applies to patients taking Proscar (or Avodart). On the other hand, I've received e-mail from one man who had his PSA go from 2.5 to 17.5 in 18 months while taking soy milk at every meal and flaxseed at every breakfast (he started this in an attempt to lower his cholesterol). He had no idea he had prostate cancer until his biopsy when his PSA was 17.5. Ed Friedman Ed Friedman
