TOPIC: Back since my PMMA removal .. now I have Prostate Cancer -- any chance of a link?

Definitely don't want to go too far off topic here. I feel sufficient research is needed to determine the likelihood of PMMA increasing the risk of cancer development. That's where this thread should stay focused. That being said, I think if you consider putting unnatural substances in your body that have huge risks involved for aesthetics or self image/self confidence issues, you should not speak so negatively about people who use put natural substances in their bodies to combat real, life threatening issues. There have been numerous studies that have shown very real results and I know people personally who have used this method over traditional practices and have beat cancer. Stay positive and research the research.

Sorry to hear about this. I'm not sure if PMMA can cause cancer but I wouldn't doubt it. But so can 1000 other things we are exposed to, plus 1000's of men get prostate cancer and they never had PMMA. I think it's juts bad luck. Hope you have a strong recovery.

They clearly used the word "MAY" and they it has not mention of degree, efficacy or if the dose. I'll say it again there is NO research that proves any anti-cancer benefit

Every treatment description uses the word "May". You could make that same argument with all treatments.

I would think that anything that can cause inflammation, like pmma, could lead to cancer.

I don't think anyone ever says it "may" get you high. It 100% works for that!

Take sexbeast's advice and go with cannabis oil! That really seems to have helped a lot of people.

if the biopsy shows cancer then it is cancer. Treatment, iodine 125 which i had, Removal, Cryo, I had seeds and it came back as i checked my psa every three months and it went from .8 to 1.8 in a year. Had cryo sp sorry. now its 0. Dr green seattle Wa.

What research please show it to me. I'm dying to see it. There is no research to prove that statement

thanks cav8000, it's not your traditional western medicine but it will soon be...

Funny how the ones quick to think something without much study can causes cancer are also so quick to turn around and recommend something to fix it that has zero evidence of effectiveness.

Marijuana and cannabis products are used with cancer to treat symptoms of cancer and cancer treatment, such as nausea and lack of hunger. Has nothing to do with the treatment of the cancer itself.

Sorry to hear about your cancer, but definitely use proper treatment and medicine and don't put too much hope in bullshit. Positivity and good sense of well being is definitely great for the ordeal, and whatever you need to help that is great, but conventional medicine is not a scam so make sure you do what is advised.

Cheers

Thats, just, like, your opinion mannnnnnn ^^

With food, for an hungry man, "what kills not, fattens". If one was asked to drink some of his piss to effect a cancer cure or get gains on his penis, would he? Me? Definitely. After all, if it doesn't me it will give my desired results. Even if not, hell, "try and fail is no disgrace."

Blood flows everywhere in the body, carrying nutrients, hormones, carcinogens etc. If carcinogens are taken through an inflamed area, cancer can be triggered. Susceptible people (genetic) and those who have things in them like PMMA should avoid "carcinogenic activities" (e g walking barefoot on ashalt). The keyword is inflamation. This + carcinogen = cancer or inflamation + genetically induced mutation = cancer. The number of people with PMMA is infinitesimally small and there can be no empirical conclusion about a link between PMMA and cancer. However, watch the keyword "inflamation."

For cannabis. A doctor who was brought up to look at these substances along his nose is incapable of objective research into them. Soeone who has never been "high" on these substances can never know the effect of being high, thus anything whatsoever he might say about it would be utter bullshit. A topic about things like cannabis requires a liberalness of mind as is required for homosexuality - maybe better left alone.

Dark, the bottom attitude is "if it doesn't , it will help" and "try and fail ..."

hey Dark.. I'm not a lawyer, but you should call one. That sounds extremely shady. In a smaller type company paying out on a couple cancer claims can raise everyones premiums, which may be the thought process- or he wouldn't have the funding for another hire if he was paying your salary on leave. At least these are things I was told - not my field of expertise. But I really think you should talk to a specialty lawyer immediately.
