For anyone who is interested, I just found this link to the actual published
article not just the news story. Haven't had a chance to review it yet.

I am going back on pomagranate extract. I was taking while my PSA was
stable but coincident w/ stopping it, my PSA spiked.

"Pomegranate Juice in Treating Patients With Rising Prostate-Specific
Antigen Levels After Surgery or Radiation Therapy"

Would like to see a clinical trial with Pomegranate Juice in treating
patients *before* surgery/RT, what that does to rising PSA levels?

Probably just as well. If it was too effective the juice would probably
be pulled off the shelves . . . :-(

Bill, are you saying that you were taking the concentrate (strong taste, not
too easy to disguise) or the 27% variety which tastes pretty good? I have
both in the refrigerator but have been lax in using it lately, especially
the concentrate. I will mend my ways immediately, just in case, and pay
even more attention to other antioxidants and anti-inflammatory foods/drugs
as well. Just in case. Which one are you using? Both are reconstituted from
extract.

After reading the study itself, it appears that it's another study aimed at
identifying antioxidants as a cancer fighting tool and pomegranate is
reputed to have strong antioxidant properties. This was a really small
study, but did show encouraging in vivo results. So many studies going on,
so many variables, and from many of our vantage points----------such slow
progress.

I can't claim a correlation but what the heck.

I was taking a capsule I got from the Vitamine Shoppe.

Gotta watch anti-inflammatory meds; they kill a lot of people and give
many more ulcers. And every few months yet another antioxidant trial
produces a big fat zero. Fortunately most -- but not all -- do little
harm in moderate quantities.
