Sensational prostate treatment - BAT

After struggling with prostate cancer for 3 years I read about an innovative, counterintuitive treatment developed at a leading American University hospital.

Normally prostate cancer patients will remove testosteron from the body which the cancer cells depend on. This works fine a longer period of time, but inevitably the cancer cells adapt and resistance occurs. The drugs do not work any longer.

The researchers wondered what would happen if the treatment was reversed, by giving large amounts of testosteron over a period of a few months.

This was earlier believed to be like gasoline to a fire, but it turned out that many patients saw their tumor burden was reduced.

After detailed studies on the gene level they have discovered that alternating the testesteron level from low to high every two months the cells adapt in opposite directions, the previous resistant cells changes to sensitive. The drugs work again, nobody has thought this was possible.

By changing ny testosteron levels regularily I keep the cancer under control on a very low level. I have been doing this treatment for 18 months and the situation is stable.
