What can I say? Most likely something of course. How about we start with a treatment protocol for prostate cancer that defies perceived medical procedure and tosses it out the proverbial window! You may have even heard whispers about it in mainstream media. While it’s not totally accepted as a treatment regimen, the success rate is out of this world. Yes, I’m talking about (BAT) Bipolar Androgen Therapy.

Or simply put, injecting a high dose of testosterone after a year or two of reducing the testosterone level to almost nothing or androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). After the injection, stopping any t-blockers, is done for a period of time before resuming the daily doses. While there is no standard currently, a 2 week on, 2 week off is somewhere to start.

Please note that all the above needs to be discussed with your doctor(s) before attempting the regimen. Oncologists spend years figuring out ways to reduce the testosterone in your body to keep prostate cancer cells from happily consuming it. A long since proven way to slow/reduce or sometimes stop the cancer from growing or spreading is reducing the amount of testosterone in your body that can feed the prostate cancer.

So, what happens when adding a large dose of testosterone to your low current levels of T? Well, the jury is out on that but the generally accepted thoughts are it overwhelms the cells and causes them to cease to exist. Like going to a buffet but you can’t stop after not having your favorite steak or ice cream for years so you basically gorge on it. And the cells simply explode. Or just stop functioning. When pairing monthly injections with certain immune protocols (think Keytruda), tumors have shrunk up to 60% or more! PSA markers become non-detectable! Does it last or is it temporary? Since this is still very new research there are no guidelines or accepted outcomes. Should everyone try it? Nah, as there is always the possibility of a negative outcome. Most of the research and unofficial trials I have read show little to no side effects. And even if the protocol doesn’t work, there seems to be no downside – only an upside – at least for now. Some excellent information at the websites below which goes into the inner workings of the treatment.

Well all I can say is this BAT isn’t scary and won’t turn you into a vampire.
