NewNutrition Study

[Guest guest]

There is someone posting a link to this study all

over the Internet. He may get here one of these days. The link is to NUTRITION

2000 at http://www.nutrition2000.com/Press_Releases/NUTRITION%202000%20MAJOR%20PROSTATE%20CANCER%20PROTOCOL%20STUDY.asp

It is one of the weirdest claims I’ve ever seen

made in amongst very many weird claims, but I think the clue in the massive drop

in PSA claimed is in the detail <snip>What

were the side effects of the protocol? The only negative side

effects were some breast tenderness and a diminished libido. <snip> That

rings warning bells amongst many ‘old timers’ who remember the

claims made for PC-Spes and Prostasol all based around diethylstilboestrol

(DES)

DES was an excellent way of reducing PSA and, indeed

of managing PCa (and is still used in Britain

and in a very few instances in the US) but a serious side effect is

that it can cause thrombosis, according to all the studies. To possibly take an

unknown quantity of DES in NUTRITION 2000, without medical supervision might be

very dangerous.

All the best

I have no medical qualifications but I was diagnosed

in ‘96: and have learned a bit since then.

Terry,

To your great credit as a gentleman, you did not mention the

simplest explanation of the press release. It seems to me more

than barely possible that the study was never done, the 151

patients never existed, the whole thing was made up out of whole

cloth, and the author of the press release is an outrageous liar

who hopes to make a fortune selling his snake oil.

I noted, for example, that no person's name is attached to the

study - an immediate red flag - and no actual ingredients of the

miracle formula are listed.

I appeal to the old principle here, if it's too good to be true,

it's probably not true.

I wrote to the email address listed on the press release asking

for more details. If I get a reply, I'll post it here.

I always knew you were smarter than I am,

Alan!! Most interested to hear if you get a response to your e-mail – other than

a request for cash. Perhaps Nutrition 2000 is a subsidiary of ARIZONA

HERPETOLOGICAL PROCESSORS LLC – see http://www.yananow.net/troopc.htm#snakeoil

All the best
