Thereishope Wed, 11 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT Hi Smpal.If you send me a private message I shall put you in touch with my friend who has survived terminal prostate cancer.....His psa numbers were in the thousands and the cancer was in bones, lungs....throughout his body. He did 714X along with the 50grams Int. Vit.C , also had one injection of Lupron and uses Essiac twice daily.

I too believe in it and my father is doing it once a week while he is on other alternative meds. As of now he is still doing pretty good and that is all we can ask for.  One day at a time. take caresophia Smpal Sat, 04 Aug 2007 00:00:00 GMT
