All nicely under control now though and I have quarterly blood work for A1C and cholesterol.
Holy crap, you must have been peeing about as much sugar out as a large bottle of Pepsi

AHHH Yes those two sources of unbiased Establishment rhetoric. I think you'll find that most junior doctors and GPs do NOT get taught much about natural medicine in their training. Go ask one. It's hardly surprising either that well established journals do not detour from what they've been peddling for decades. In the same way that most senior archaeologists or historians find changing their approach to existing doctrine to be anathema despite constantly evolving science and new evidence.

Perhaps a dose of healthy skepticism rather than blind acceptance might be a timely prescription for you.

No we don't get taught about quackery as we have to learn about proper medicine and how to help them medically and not financially rip them off. Dont try and lecture me about "my blind acceptance", you know nothing about me. You do know that I am a proper doctor don't you? I don't need to "ask one"- not someone who laughably calls themselves a doctor by virtue of their "ND"...Nearly an MD in spelling but light years away from being a real doctor.

Please feel free to pursue whatever weird and wonderful unproven therapies that you wish to, it is then called natural selection- but don't lecture us about conspiracy theories and quote anecodatal quack websites as the source of your evidence, it doesn't hold up.

There... just wasted 5 minutes of my time replying to a nutjob...note to myself, little point in rising to the bait of a troll

Typically, it isn't the absolute PSA value that is important, it is an upward trend that one needs to be concerned about.I think it is a waste of resources to screen younger populations. Obviously if the initial PSA is high then it has significant clinical relevance but there are certainly several benign causes of elevated PSA without a diagnosis of prostate cancer

Anti-vacc'rs who keep their kids from getting shots are going to be the source of huge profits for doctors and big pharma as each new epidemic comes along. Historic records prove how inadequate the human immune system can be.

Do you also believe the moon landings were fake and the US government was behind 9/11?
