New Study Shows The Impact of Diet on Prostate Cancer | Mark Scholz, MD | PCRI

After being diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer with a very grim prognosis ( Gleason 10 , PSA 587) i was put on hormone deprivation therapy and a keto diet to cut out "sugars" .My PSA would not get down below 211 . After seeing Dr. Scholtz 's earlier videos on avoiding animal foods i went on a strict whole plant based diet and a weight training regimen. 3 months later my PSA plummeted to 0.01. And has remained there for 3 years now! I am absolute living proof that a plant based diet has a massive impact on advanced prostate cancer survival. Thank you Doc Scholtz . So grateful i found this channel years ago!

I have had prostate cancer since 2014 (diagnosed) but was told that it was of the slow growing type. I'm now 81. At the time I was taking testosterone medication but stopped immediately. I drink 250ml of processed tomato juice daily and eat very little meat. Never smoked (I tried it as a teenager for about a week then ran out of money). Don't drink alcohol any more. I love to walk every day and do resistance exercises. My PSA over the years since 2014 has been in the range 2.9 to 4.09 but up and down within that range over time. So it seems to me that I'm doing all the right things but I wonder if lack of sexual intercourse is a factor. I'm almost impotent and my wife is too sick anyway with an inherited heart disease. Great site. Very informative. I have a routine telephone consultation with my urologist tomorrow.

Interesting discussion. As someone with Leukemia, I just recently bailed on an oncologist who gave me the "deer in the headlights" look when I brought up the subject of diet and exercise to help manage my disease. In his view nothing but drugs will help.

Alex is an excellent interviewer

Excellent/informative videos by Alex and Dr. Scholz.......this is why I have donated to PCRI. Thank you for the videos!!

Alex and Dr Scholtz are the perfect recipe I need to calm my anxiety. God bless the both.

During nine weeks of radiation I lost twenty five pounds. They put me on a terrible bland diet. As my radiation was at noon, I was told to come with a full bladder and a empty bowel, I didn't eat until after. When I started ADT I was told I'd gain all that weight back and more. No way I said. I continue to fast every morning, not eating until 2pm. I eat a spinach salad loaded with fresh fruit every day. For dinner I have a sensible meal, most without any meat. Eleven months into ADT I've managed to lose another five pounds, which probably would be another twenty-five if I wasn't on ADT. No fast food and very little sugar. My panels are for the most part better than ever now and my A1C is now 5.4, down a full point. To say prostate cancer was a wake-up call for me is an understatement. I do plan to continue eating healthy when I stop ADT next month.

I’m 76. I’ve been training with weights since I was about 13. I have decent muscle mass for a man my age. It sounds as if you are saying that I should reduce my protein intake to avoid prostate cancer. However, I then hasten the onset of severe sarcopenia. I would rather enjoy a robust shorter than live an extra few years as a weak old man.

Dr. Scholz Man, you are God Send Thank you so much for your time to give great infomation.

You are incredibly clear and articulate Dr. Scholz.

Curiously, both high protein (keto, carnivore) and plant based therapies seem to work. It looks like anything that takes us away from standard western diet of procresed foods has health advantages. Give a choice, I would go for the high protein... plant based as its own problems in the long term.

Thank you so very much for your clear and emphatic diet recommendations,. Best wishes and much success to you.

Excess carbs, sugars, highly processed foods are the enemy. Clean healthy diet is the way ✌🏽🙏🏽

After changing his diet my husbands PSa drooped from 12.1 to 7.1 over a 4 month period.

Love your shows. A lot of very good info in a short video that I can use to improve my life. Glad I'm a subscriber. 😊😊

I’m recently had prostate surgery. I have a genetic condition with two cousins who have also had prostate cancer. After my surgery, evidence of cancer was detected in one of eight lymph nodes. Since then, I’ve been following everything you presented today in your presentation. I found it so helpful and encouraging. Thank you so much!

I am grateful and appreciative for your outstanding and informative videos. Please keep up the excellent work!! Donated.

I love both of y’all for the information y’all are putting out. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer (4+3) on the 18th March 2022. My age at the time was 52 years old. PSA Of 46 and cancer on left side of the gland. 30% of 6 cores! No signs of spread though! Because of this channel and information I became a pescatarian (fish is the only animal protein that I consume). And, I only eat a pound of fish per week that’s it! I have been on Lupron since May 2022, and for the next two years. Plus, 28 radiation treatments too (starting in July 2022 and ends the last day of August 2022. Additional I do strength training 3 day a week, and I have only lost maybe 5% percent totally (if that)of the strength; than before I taking Lupron. Also, I run 3.5 miles at 6.5 mph three days a week too to stay healthy and keep my energy up. I made the life style changes because of this channel, and I chose the treatment options also because of this channel too. Thank y’all very much, this channel has proven to be advantageous for me!

Interviewer is excellent - and asks very pertinent questions - thankyou!

Thanks much Dr Sholtz .Brilliant analysis. You are a special Dude.
