Question on PSA score and Lupron

I have a friend who was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer with a PSA of 115 about 7 months ago. The doctor told him that it had also spread to his bones. The only treatment they said they could give him is Lupron.

It is the Lupron that has reduced the PSA. As to the ionized water I will just say click the link I have provided.

Hi Mitch,
I am on Lupron now and have started radiation treatment. As far as skin tone and color I have noticed that my complexion is as good as when I was 10 years old. No oiliness or acne at all. I have also noticed that I only need to shave about once every three days. There are other effects as well but not pertinent to your question. I suspect that your friends improvement is due to the Lupron.

Jayadub,
Great web site in your link.

It's the Lupron, not the water. Hope your friend won't be tempted to discontinue the hormone treatment too quickly. Cheers, Dutchy

May 2008: diagnosed with advanced colon cancer

Thanks for the link. I did read all of that information a couple of months ago. That chemist kinda lost his credibilty with me because he makes some innacurate claims that can prove he is wrong with a simple home tester. My other friend demonstrated that. He also admits he never personally tested the water from any of those machines.

Thanks Jayadub. I appreciate the response and it has been real helpful.

to keep it simple Lupron which I to am on is a testosterone ablation drug, PC fuels off the production of testosterone in the body and when that is cut out the PSA drops as does the spread of cancer, when the the cancer becomes resistant to hormone therapy it returns and begins to metastisize again. Sad to say I was confronted by someone selling machines to ionize water, it is amazing how the vultures circle when they find out some bad news (well good for them). Drinking water is healthy as anyone knows, and if the placebo effect causes your friend to feel better so be it, in my diligent research I could not substantiate anything that would make me believe it was any better or worse than regular drinking water. I hope there is no hidden agenda here, we are all people searching for hope and happiness and have to be careful of folks intentions.
I hope your friend has many years of great health

peace and love

My PSA at diagnosis was 16.3

Thanks livinadream, that makes it more clear to me now. Believe me, my "water" friend might be a little overbearing but he is not a vulture. Also he isn't trying to sell the machines, he has one himself and is convinced it works. Because of that he has been bringing my other friend (the one with PC) 5 gallons of water each week. I am really a 3rd party to all of this and am fishing for real answers because I don't want my friend to be going around telling everyone else that his water is making my other friend better if that is not factual.
