As usual, the article and analyses are well presented. Thank you. Quoted from article notes: "Stamey calculated from the autopsy data that only 1 in 380 men over 50 with prostate cancer dies of it.⁴⁵ The PSA test, unable to distinguish lethal from indolent disease, dips into this reservoir with every screening round." [End quote]

Yes. And ALL PSA testing for prostate cancers are entirely bogus, period. Just stay away from medical ghouls. They are incompetent, dangerous, and make a living off false diagnosis. End of story...

I am almost 76 and never had this test. One has to assume that if they did find cancer that they have the cure. I highly doubt that. Because their cure will be chemo poisons. No thanks.

Besides, I do not believe that proteins even exist in the body or nature and the measurement of the PSA is bogus. It runs in the same derby as the PCR tests and the cholesterol tests. All useless for the confirmation of health or not.

That doctors do not give thorough informed consent and that they even order this test without telling the patient 1/3 of the time is unconscionable. I avoid the rack 'em, pack 'em and stack 'em system of modern medicine and to that point there are NO medicines ever involved. Everything they give you or prescribe is a toxin or poison.

As someone said recently, I have lived my three score and ten and then some. What more can I ask?

The risks of fluoroquinolone antibiotics are not insubstantial either. There are support groups for "Cipro victims" so many are the numbers, and so great is the gaslighting around it. I've seen some of them in my practice.

This guy wrote a great article about the prostate hoax in November, 2024:

Of course, the fraud cannot be overemphasized.

this biopsy procedure is kind of like a "minor" surgery. Here's a question no one asks: Why do surgeons get a free pass when it comes to doing placebo controlled trials on their surgical procedures? Drug companies have to prove efficacy and that side effects are low enough to warrant using the drug. Surgeons get to cut away without any of that up front proof of concept.

Turns out when they finally do a placebo controlled study, the surgical procedure is basically worthless. Cousin of my wife, a retired orthopedic surgeon, recently told me about a placebo controlled study testing arthroscopic "repair" of knee issues (I believe it was torn meniscus). They actually did a cut on the placebo group, but no surgery, so patients didn't know whether they had the surgery or not. The results: In the short term, those who got the surgery fared better in terms of less pain and more mobility. But in the long term, like 5 or 10 years, IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE whether they got the surgery or not. He told me that of course members of his profession did not like the result!

Excellent, thorough essay. Eye opener for me. Has there been progress/incentive to improve the blood test to more specifically ID cancer-related proteins or immunoglobulins?

If they did a study testing blood value of Vitamin D which is not a vitamin but a hormone that controls the expression of about 3000 genes, they would find that those susceptible to prostate cancer have low D. They would also learn that if there are cancer cells present in the prostate, they are being surrounded by a substance that is called E-Cadherin if D is high enough which prevents metastasis. So any procedure that destroys the encapsulation of the cancer cells causes the spread of the cancer cells to other parts of the body. High D and you can sleep at night.

Thank you for the in depth and comforting information. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics are quite toxic in their own right with a whole list of possible injuries and even death. A black box warning was finally required for danger of tendon injure and rupture. At 53 and in good health I was given a ten day course of Tequin (a fluorquinolone brand no longer sold) for a cut on my forehead. I ended up with a ruptured Achilles tendon requiring surgery and incomplete recovery.

I'm a senior citizen and I don't go to a doctor for any type of "tests" because I don't live in fear of cancer or a covid germ - never had a mammogram for example.

If I feel an ache or pain, I do a little research online then take steps to resolve it.

So far, so good.

I had a 60-year-old boss a few years ago whose doctor started him on a prostate prescription. Then he couldn't pee normally anymore. He had the urge, but couldn't do it.

A friend had some type of prostate procedure in his 50s then had the same urge problem as my boss.

I say stay away from the doctors, but that's just my female opinion. What do I know?

Interesting article. It seems that men don't have anything to be worried about until they get older and their prostate becomes the main show for the doctors $$$$$$$.

I'm an older female who has gone through my own hell with doctors treating and mistreating me over the years. I don't let them touch me anymore.

I now see only an eye doctor and dentist annually, no one else.

PSA = Pretty Sloppy Analysis:)

John Gambee's avatar

it is sometimes surprising what high dose iodine (25mg/d) and EDTA suppositories can do for an elevated PSA.

You might consider reviewing Henry Ford's Sr. The International Jew.

Your publications are a wonderful addition to my standard medical education.

Thank you.

Once you get sepsis it can be touch and go depending on how fast it is caught. I question whether sepsis treatment gets all of it or whether some goes into hiding so to speak and come back later when your immune system is weakened.
