This is an article I published in 2005 describing my use of medicinal mushrooms.

There is also some background information. The btinternet address is now

defunct, but I can be contacted on Yahoo & telephone number below.

In the last five years I have been enjoying +AM and researching prostate cancer.

I published an updated version of my findings in 2009 and I will be publishing a

newer version in the near future. In the course of my research for the new book

I learned that radiopharmaceuticals are not generally available in the UK on the

NHS for treatment of advanced bone metastases. That shocked me to the extent

that I am campaigning for a change of policy.

I repeat, Metastron and Zometa are not available on the British NHS.

This means that advancerd cancer patients with bone metastases have to endure

external beam (EBXRT) radiotherapy in the last few months of life to palliate

pain. EBXRT has side effects and requires separate medication to manage. All in

all an uncaring and inefficient way to deal with the last few months of life

when patients' dignity should be respected.

Metastron, and Metastron combined with Zometa, are both superior to EBXRT for

reducing bone pain and extending life. The information at the following link can

be used freely by individuals or charitable organisations to pressure their PCT

for Metastron / Zometa on the NHS.

The paper, which outlines the evidence based reasons why Metastron is superior

to EBXRT may be used by anyone wishing to promote the availability of Metastron

and Zometa under the British NHS. Americans in President Oama's new social care

system may find the British NHS Metastron experience useful.

This limited open access is made provided the paper is quoted in its entirety

and due acknowledgement is given to the author.

bit superficial in the areas I personally feel competant at judging, lacking

depth of detail. The black background gives it a somewhat dramatic, Gothic look.

Not everyone's cup of tea (if that is the right metaphor >:-O )
