PSA elevations

There are lots of things that can cause an elevated PSA. Prostate cancer is very common and this is the most ominous reason for an elevated PSA. The only way to know this is a prostate biopsy.

Even if you have prostate cancer there’s at least one study that shows less than 10 mg of lycopene arrests the development of prostate cancer in 84% of men and shrinks it in one third of those. Two per day of our immune formula provides 20 mg of lycopene.

There are three things I know offhand that cause benign PSA elevation:

1. Sexual activity within three days of the PSA test.
2. Bicycle riding or some other activity that massages the prostate within three days of the PSA test.
3. An enlarged prostate. This comes with the territory of getting older.

A noncancerous elevation of PSA will often come down with 100 mg of doxycycline twice a day for a month. Due to the anti-business attitude of those in control of our nation, dirt cheap doxycycline is now very expensive. We can try Cipro 500 mg twice a day instead but I don’t know how well it will work.

A novel Chinese herbal combination that worked extremely well in one patient recently is called Corioulus PS.

We will know if any of this works by rechecking a PSA.
