The comments of Drs. Figg and Thompson are partuclarly encouraging. I used to get PSA tests done every year or two, but after all of the jawboning done in favor of "watchful waiting" rather than aggressive monitoring and treatment, I discovered that the my doctors is less favorably disposed to testing. Perhaps they are influenced by health care insurers who are less inclined to pay for testing if there is not a clear treatment path that the medical community agrees upon.

I think I will continue to take my reishi, drink my green tea, and cross my fingers.

Yup, I agree. And healthy humans don't turn a profit in the "for profit" money market..
