This is a "progress note" from a good friend who has been using
antifungal measures for his recently-diagnosed prostate cancer. I
think you'll be amazed:
”Hello
Dr. Holland. You have asked in the past that I keep you informed of my
progress. I saw my urologist today for my regular 3-month checkup. By
way of review, I have been on the phase 1 diet and the prescriptives
for 6.5 months and the naturals, Healthy Trinity, and shark fin powder
for 3.5 months. When I was diagnosed with the Gleason 8 tumor in March
my PSA was 70. In June
it was 71, in July 47 and in September 50. At
that time the blood was drawn 3 days after I started my first rotation
of caprylic acid. After taking caprylic acid for 4 weeks and very
aggressive doses of oil of oregano internally (4 drops in water tid)
for 2 weeks my PSA decreased from 50 to the current level of
0.1!! My urologist was very
impressed with that low number and said, "You must be doing something
right". What is puzzling to me is that my abnormal digital exam today
was unchanged, no better or worse, than it was in July. I don't
understand why it is unchanged when my PSA has dropped so
dramatically. He said that what he is feeling could be such things as
connective tissue, stones, or a change in the architecture of the
gland. He said that it doesn't necessarily mean that there is residual
tumor present. Needless to say, I am very encouraged by the normal PSA
but don't know what to expect in regard to the digital findings,
whether that is going to be a permanent abnormality or if it will
gradually normalize. Meanwhile, I am "staying the course" in regard to
the anti-fungal program.
Sincerely, W.D.”
*As a side
note, I've discussed with him the fact that many, previous fungal
infections in our body can leave a residual area of scar tissue, as in
the case of Histoplasma fungi causing the formation of a permanent,
calcified nodule to form in our lung once we breathe the fungal spore
into our lung. Thus, the physical exam of the prostate may never
change, but the evidence of the active disease on a blood test (PSA)
or biopsy will be gone. Also note the the PSA actually increased a
couple of times- before it decreased- after starting a new antifungal.
This may be typical of a type of Herxheimer, or "die-off" reaction.
The “prescriptives” he used were antifungal medications: Nizoral,
Sporanox, Diflucan, Nystatin, etc. on a rotational basis. Nystatin can
be taken simultaneously with the systemic drugs, as it is not absorbed
and does not interact with any other medicine- it merely, but
importantly, addresses the intestinal yeast.
