The Supplements and Prescriptions That Keep Me Going

Hello Everyone, I mentioned that I wanted to share what supplements and prescription medicines I take on a daily basis. I will mention that the supplements and medicines might not work for every one. This list is a guide only. I encourage any of you that want to try the supplements to test one or two out at a time. I will say that if you have any questions about the supplements or medicines please email me, leave a comment, or message.

Following the supplements and medicines I will give a brief description of what each one does. The items that have prostate cancer as a description means that the item has been studied and found to help combat prostate cancer. In the prescription medicines description you will see a couple of drugs that reduce testosterone. Testosterone is fuel for Prostate Cancer. If you have further questions you can also go to Swanson Vitamins at:

My lovely wife is responsible for researching the supplements. They change from time to time depending on whether they work or not. The prescription medicines have been trial and error and have lead to this current regimen.


I think this information is enough for now. I bid you all a wonderful evening and I will continue tomorrow with some more interesting stuff.

Peace and Love to All.
