in PSA to 1.1 from 19.7 pre treatment.
Before he started treatment he was having dizzy spells perhaps twice a

In a recent issue of Lillipoh Journal (an anthroposophical health
magazine), a naturopath  claims that mistletoe injections have
suppressed his androgen independent prostate cancer.  He had not

a friend of mine had a prostata surgery,
