I have tried just about everything from acyclovir suppressive therapy to different natural oils, extracts, and other natural methods, some of which are EXTREMELY painful and exacerbate the problem (i.e. apple cider vinegar!). While vitamin E oil and suppressive therapies worked well for me, when I became pregnant I went back to trying to find a herbal cure. I was using vitamin E oil topically for a while but it was thin and difficult to use and only seemed to prevent further outbreaks rather than getting rid of it. I contacted Dr. Utu Herbal Cure through my friend. To my surprise, I could tell my outbreak was starting to heal within only a few hours! No more itching and pain! Dr. Utu Herbal Cure that I used was liquid herbs in bottles, so it was very easy to use. It simply whiffs, but it works so I don’t care! The best part of my testimony was that I successfully delivered a herpes-free beautiful daughter without further medications. Anyone who has tried Dr. Utu Herbal Cure knows just how quickly those treatments can add up. <br />Anyone can reach Dr. Utu through<br />drutuherbalcure@gmail.com<br />+2349072733661Nkem Gloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032791603897984447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846613821139070591.post-5975501016983098192011-03-27T16:14:15.098-07:002011-03-27T16:14:15.098-07:00charmorgadol: thanks for the positive feedback. ...charmorgadol: thanks for the positive feedback. Although I have not tried these techniques, I have heard of them. Most of these new tests have not been implemented by the majority of urologists because there are not enough positive studies to make them mainstream yet. Some of them are encouraging. The main thing we are all looking for is a test to differentiate significant prostate cancer from an innocent bystander.prostatedochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908741772472613773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846613821139070591.post-3784788709385476372011-03-26T08:50:42.742-07:002011-03-26T08:50:42.742-07:00Thanks.

I am interested in the new tests -- beyond psa -- that are being developed to try to diagnose prostate cancer and, more importantly, to try to distinguish between indolent and agressive disease. For example, have you heard anything about the Prostate Px tests, developed by Aureon? Sounds promising, though I have never met anyone who has used it. Or the detailed analysis of biopsy slides offered by Dr. Bonkoff in Germany -- http://prostapath.org/download/prognostic-predictive-markers.pdf This seems to go well beyond the usual pathology reports -- and even beyond the poloidy analysis you sometimes see --but I wonder how useful this information is in practice, or whether/how it actually affects decision-making. Same with color doppler ultrasound. Would you find all this stuff helpful in trying to help a patient decide what his risk is, and how to proceed?chamorgadolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10076733987615518079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846613821139070591.post-11385881104028532002011-03-25T20:13:08.247-07:002011-03-25T20:13:08.247-07:00Chamorgadol: I feel that PSA velocity is more rel...Chamorgadol: I feel that PSA velocity is more reliable than a single PSA but is still limited by the same problem: spurious values. If an abnormal PSA velocity is calculated from a falsely elevated single PSA value that PSA velocity is just as unreliable as that single value. That is why I feel that repeating an abnormal PSA test is so important before acting on it. As for the PCA3 it has potential, especially for men with negative biopsies. However, I have not seen studies that show it correlates with SIGNIFICANT cancer and so its increased sensitivity may not be beneficial as it may just detect cancer that did not need to be treated in the first place. Because it is so new the jury is still out on this test.prostatedochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14908741772472613773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6846613821139070591.post-78532157050438843422011-03-25T15:44:15.556-07:002011-03-25T15:44:15.556-07:00What are your thoughts on PSA velocity?

A well-regarded urologist at a leading academic medical center told me he thinks PSA velocity is more relevant than any absolute PSA number, in deciding who to biopsy. But then I read about studies such as this one that suggest it is less useful: http://news.consumerreports.org/health/2011/02/psa-velocity-is-not-a-good-test-for-prostate-cancer-study-suggests.html<br /><br />Also, do you use PCA-3? Do you find it helpful?chamorgadolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10076733987615518079noreply@blogger.com
