QUESTION:
Good Day, I recently started Paw Paw after reviewing the research. I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2008, had a prostectomy but my psa is rising this summer. It is currently at 16.5.
I have altered my diet eliminating sugar, relying on proteins and greens and taking other supplements. I feel great but here is my question…
Some prostate cancer formulas (e.g. prosticaid) contain vitamin C and selenium which appear to be a no-no for integration with paw paw. Do you have any experience with this or any opinion?
Thank you for your time and all the work you contribute on this subject.

ANSWER:
In our opinion, there is no problem with Vit. C 500 mg. /day or less, nor with the recommended daily dosage, 50mcg. Selenium. Very high dosages of some anti-oxidants will interfere with the ATP inhibitory action of Paw Paw, which is why they are counter-indicated. We realize some websites list others, but often do not provide research to back their statements. Our proof is from our successes with clients.
A supporting product that many men use with Prostate Cancer is Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens)Concentrate , which has no Vit. C, Selenium or other counter-indicated actions with Paw Paw, yet offers excellent nutrition for the prostate. Many men over 40 years of age also use Men’s Formula, which also contains Gingko and Nettle, for ongoing prostate support and prevention.
