Any statement, position,etc made in my post heretofore should be considered to have the word "arguably" included. The word should be considered self evident, even when not specifically written. Arguably as in a court of law. Logo

I just wanted to relate my experience .in august 2013 I was diagnosedwith aggressive prostate cancer .my doctor said I had several; choices on treatment. I chose rso oilabnd began treatment I got 1 Lupron shot 3 month .I was up to over agram in 5 weeks took a total 117 grams in 90 days I take a maintenance dose of 1`/2 gram daily psa is o.82 and they cant find the cancer with a scan.and bone scan is clear also.waiting for the Lupron to clear it weakened the cancer and made it easier for the oil to clear it. im not the first .of course I have not had abiopsy since they found it. so it could be considered anecdotal im posting this to help others my records will be on green passion next week rso oil is cannabis oil.
