Lyme is all around us but I believe we will help many more if we give up on blaming everything on the tick related introduction of more pathogens than we had the day before we are bit.  It is confusing to people, as too often Lyme tests are inconclusive. So let’s rename the condition LIMES (Lowered Immune Metabolic Encephalopathy Syndrome) or LIMNS (for Neuropathy, as in MS like conditions) or LIMAS (Arthropathy when it is more arthritic in presentation), as these names move us closer to seeing the true picture.

It is sad to turn patients away with these devastating symptoms when the Infectious Disease Association guidelines force us to say it is Lyme. I am certain broadening the approach to Food sensitivities, other Infections, Genetics, Heavy metals and Hormones and Toxins would wind up with better results than the low batting average that is reported from long-term IV antibiotics, which are often reported as low as 33% about which Lyme critics point out is the response rate to placebos. If we focus on my F.I.G.H.T. program and do something to help deal with the obvious issues that can be found in almost anyone in any of these categories, we can be more cost effective and actually help more patients, as they will stop looking just for a doctor that will interpret their test as positive for Lyme.

Realize that everyone today will fail the Mount Sinai School of Medicine $4900 test for toxins. So let’s blame the neurotoxins and endocrine disruptors just like we blame the total body burden of infection, as properly tested everyone will have some Chlamydia or CMV or Coxackie or Candida and so on.

No one will pass the test at Harvard for bone lead levels. They have shown that the level in bone is in equilibrium with most other tissues in the body including the eye so there is a direct correlation with how high lead in bones is and how soon you develop a cataract. So there is no one on earth that does not need some lead out and since Lead makes Mercury as much as 100 times more toxic, who needs tons of tests to know what to do in most of the categories my F.I.G.H.T. program acronym represents.

So would it not be better medicine to offer some oral detoxification for the Heavy metals and the Toxins, with ZeoGold and BIOE’NR-G’Y C, Beyond Fiber, and some organic Greens and some Maca and help people eliminate suspect foods for a time. Before letting the outcome of the patient’s intervention with the doctor pass on the results of unreliable negative lab tests for Lyme, because of immune suppression until some treatment is started for awhile and then the test for Lyme often changes to positive. What a waste to not simply realize we are confronted with an epidemic of autoimmune diseases that has so many different presentations that over 100 conditions are now considered to be autoimmune related. These conditions deserve meaningful intervention and my F.I.G.H.T. program protects patients from Johnny One Note health care providers who focus only on one aspect of my program and thus only help a small percentage of patients.

Let’s broaden our approach and help everyone with empowering knowledge. Everyone we see today needs help to optimize every one of the categories in F.I.G.H.T. If we expand the FIGHT concept we would make F stand for FOCUS on positive thinking not just Food and H for hormones and Heavy metals and then really the G is not just Genetics but also the entire new field of Epigenetics where exposures to BISPHENOL A have led to overnight changes in Gene activation. They are permanent until treated with aggressive methylation support, as with the MSM and TMG found in BIOE’NR-G’Y C and the active forms of Folic Acid found in Beyond B12.

We all remember AIDS is acquired immune deficiency so now I recommend that this new epidemic just be renamed LOWERED IMMUNE METABOLIC ENCEPHALOPATHY SYNDROME or LIMES then we can start to be much more cost effective in improving the health of many who suffer without excess reliance on some lab test for Lyme related infections.

This link to MEDSCAPE may help broaden your knowledge regarding some aspects of this new epidemic. By putting LIMES category into a new AUTOIMMUNE RELATED condition it forces us to broaden our approach beyond antibiotics can help our patients who still will not be covered by insurance but at least they will not be turned away without receiving real help and we will not waste time with medical board fights. Patients will be taught something that I am confident for most will help them improve their health more than getting 6 months of IV antibiotics even if it were fully covered by their insurance company. It is not just an antibiotic deficiency we are encountering; read the book BEYOND ANTIBIOTICS!

It is like the old adage TEACH a man to fish or give him a fish; I prefer the teaching approach. Knowledge of what is really wrong with our health can be empowering but to put everything on one infection or one toxin and ignore leaky gut and food sensitivities, etc I feel  means we provide little long-term meaningful help to patients who deserve a broader understanding of what is really going wrong with their health.

Summary
Tick paralysis (TP), a response to the neurotoxic effects of the salivary secretions produced by attached hard ticks (Ixodidae), is a syndrome that mimics a large number of better known neurological disorders. TP is a sporadic, seasonal, rural disorder in which acute ataxia often develops five to six days following a history of walking in grass or low brush, followed by ascending flaccid paralysis. Recognition and timely removal of the tick usually leads to complete resolution of symptoms, whereas continued feeding can lead to respiratory arrest and death. Follow-up includes species determination and patient surveillance for tick-borne infectious disease.

Discussion
TP is a worldwide disease, occurring in Australia, Europe, South Africa and throughout North America. In the United States, most cases occur in the Rocky Mountain states and the Pacific Northwest, including Washington, Montana, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Nevada, Utah, Colorado and the northern parts of Arizona, New Mexico and California. However, cases have also been reported in central, southern and eastern states, including Texas, Oklahoma, Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and New York. In Canada, most cases are encountered in the western part of the country, primarily southern British Columbia.[1,2] More than 60 species of ticks are known to cause paralysis, but only a handful are responsible for most cases. In North America, the disease is associated primarily with six species: Dermacentor andersoni (‘Rocky Mountain wood tick’), D. variabilis (‘American dog tick’), Amblyomma americanum (‘Lone Star tick’), A. maculatum (Gulf Coast tick), Ixodes scapularis (formerly I. dammini, ‘Blacklegged tick’) and I. pacificus (‘Western Black-legged tick’). Peak incidence occurs between April and June when nymphs and mature adults abound in low vegetation and climb upward, questing for their next host by extending their anterior pairs of legs.[1,3,4] Paralysis is a response to a neurotoxin secreted by the salivary glands of the arachnid.[1,5] The biochemistry and pharmacology of the specific paralysis- inducing toxins produced in North American ticks are yet to be fully elucidated, but current evidence points to a mechanism by which the toxins inhibit presynaptic acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction.[1,3,6] TP presents more often and more severely in children, suggesting a concentration-dependent relationship between toxin levels and symptom expression.[1,4] Signs and symptoms of TP begin about five to six days after the parasite has attached, when neurotoxin is secreted at its peak levels. These prodromal symptoms include restlessness, irritability, fatigue, nausea, paresthesias and possibly ataxia. Over the next 24-48 hours, the patient develops ascending symmetrical flaccid paralysis and weakness in the lower extremities. Over the course of the next day or two, paralysis and weakness may ascend to involve the trunk, axial and upper limb muscles. Cranial nerves may also become involved in an ascending pattern, resulting in bulbar, facial and/or extraocular paralysis. Patients demonstrate diminished or absent deep tendon and superficial reflexes while, aside from occasional paresthesias, their sensory exam remains normal. Pain and fever are absent. Death ensues following paralysis of the respiratory muscles.[1,5,7,8,9] Atypical presentations reflect variations in the site of tick attachment. There may be ataxia and associated cerebellar deficits without accompanying muscle weakness. The disorder may also present as an isolated facial paralysis without trunk or limb involvement. Another group of atypical presentations is unilateral paralysis and/or weakness, including isolated unilateral facial paralysis.[1,8] Tick paralysis is treated by removal of the tick. Although the site of attachment is most often the head and neck region, the entire body should be scrutinized, including ear canals, nostrils and genitalia. Multiple ticks should be suspected, and all must be removed.[1,4,7,10] Applications of petroleum jelly, nail polish, alcohol, a needle and heat are inappropriate. These measures may result in infection and cause the parasite to salivate or regurgitate more of its bodily fluids.
The tick should be grasped with blunt, angled forceps as close as possible to the skin and to the embedded mouthparts (hypostome). Wearing protective gloves, slowly pull the organism straight outward with a gentle and steady traction, without twisting its body. Do not burst the tick. The hypostome is usually deeply and firmly embedded and should be removed surgically should it come detached. Antiseptic solution is then applied to the wound, and the recovered tick and severed mouthparts may be preserved in 75% ethanol for identification. The patient should be instructed to return in the event of additional illness and educated on protective measures against ticks.
The symptoms of TP, at least those caused by North American species, typically resolve rapidly following removal of all ticks from the patient. Improvement in the condition of the patient subsequent to tick removal is confirmatory for the diagnosis. Species found in some other parts of the world, notably Ixodes holocyclus of Australia, produce a very potent neurotoxin and symptoms may not subside as quickly, even worsening after removal.[5] The prognosis depends on clinical presentation prior to removal. If all ticks were removed prior to the onset of bulbar weakness, the patient often makes a full recovery within the first 24 hours. However, if onset of bulbar symptoms occurs during continued feeding, the likelihood of fatal respiratory paralysis increases to 10%. Therefore, prompt of diagnosis and tick removal are paramount.[1,5,7,8] Because ticks are both vectors and reservoirs for various infectious diseases, it is important to educate the patient about this added risk for possible concurrent illnesses. Table 1 displays the geographical location and infectious diseases associated with North American tick species which are also known to cause TP.[1,8,11,12]

WE ALL HAVE SOME CHRONIC INFECTIONS; now there is another major breakthrough to prove this.

My Fight program clearly is meant to help us educate our patients that achieving optimal health is a lifetime challenge. With increasing sophistication of lab sciences, we will find many more challenges in every one of my FIGHT categories but with the epidemic of people with chronic fatigue, you now have even more reason to want to learn about Oxidative therapies like OZONE/UVB/SILVER.

However, a unifying approach to enhance our bodies ability to deal with the multifactorial nature of any chronic disease should increase our interest in learning more about Energy medicine. This broad topic includes Homeopathy, Accupunture, Prayer, Microelectric Current therapy, Magnetic Healing, Oxygen, Hyperthermia and much of what is now called Alternative Medicine.

The exerpt below is just one line from the great overview of viral infections and XMRV that is found in Autism and Prostate Cancer and Chronic Fatigue. This area of research is all new this year but we can expect that someone will soon find many more fungi issues or parasites issues. Of course tying impaired health to our toxin load is just beginning to be seriously considered. Do not fail to look for a moment at this article, as when you tell patients they need to deal with the chronic infection component of their current symptom complex, many feel you are off the wall.

Unless they have heard of Candida or Chlamydia, or CMV, or Herpes, or Lyme, they are not attuned to the need to lower their total body burden of pathogens. No one needs to spend the money to chase down which of these infections they have, as no one will test negative for one or more of these infections if adequately tested. So testing for most patients is impractical except to get their attention as to why they must do something about the infection component of my FIGHT program if they are to achieve optimal health.

“XMRV (xenotropic murine leukemia virus-related virus) is strongly associated with chronic fatigue syndrome/ME. The earlier study published in the journal Science was a joint study by the Cleveland Clinic, the National Cancer Institute, and the Whittemore-Peterson Institute of the University of Nevada with Drs. Vincent Lombardi and Judy Mikovits as lead authors. Here the lead author of the NIH/Harvard/FDA study, Dr. Harvey Alter, noted in a press conference that he considered his study a confirmation of the earlier WPI study, even though they had detected different MLV-related viruses (MRVs), rather than only XMRV. There does seem to be a greater variety of MRVs in chronic fatigue syndrome/ME patients than first understood. The WPI’s original study also showed some evidence of additional MRVs.”

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

There is nothing to compete with H.R.T. (Herbal Remedy from Thailand) if you want strong bones and safe breasts.

I appreciate the input from my friend, Dean and Founder of the California College of Natural Medicine, Theresa Dale PhD, CCN, NP questioning the safety of H.R.T. (Herbal Remedy from Thailand containing standardized Purestrol) and comments regarding her outstanding work with alternative approaches to Hormone Balancing. I have great respect for Homeopathic approaches having served on the Arizona Board of Homeopathic Examiners for 9 years.

I do, however, have to offer information about why whatever treatment you advise for your patients, I hope you will ask Longevity Plus for all the research papers they can email you about why there is nothing that I have found anywhere that comes even close to competing with the safely and efficacy of H.R.T.

I got into anti-aging medicine 35 y ears ago with a simplistic approach. I had seen the benefits IV chelation was providing in treating vascular occlusive disease, peripheral coronary or cerebral. We believe then that part of the reason for the benefit from 3 hour IV chelation was lowering the pathologic vascular calcification. The prevention of this universal process I find requires preventing calcium loss from bones, and that requires a real SERM–BETA, and there is none safer or stronger than PURESTROL when standardized with the methods developed by Smith Natural of Thailand in collaboration with American companies.

Estrogen related compounds are known to be very valuable in preventing bone loss. I have traveled the world and have located an all natural SERM-BETA in Northern Thailand that not only stops bone loss but also lowers insomnia, depression and vaginal dryness while offering anticancer effect against breast cancers.

I continue to go to conferences several times a month and of course we find that salivary tests are very valuable for cortisol related issues but there continues to be widespread reservations have issues about relying on salivary testing for female hormone testing purposes.

Coming back them to my focus at my age of 76 is still anti-aging medicine. I know that when I meet in Thailand at the Army Medical School with MD PhD head of OB-GYN and review the remarkable studies showing that the standardized PURESTROL found in H.R.T. stops the proliferation of the major breast cancer cell lines, as well tamoxifen, while at the same time
functioning as the most powerful all –natural SERM-BETA (Selective Estrogen Receptor Beta).

H.R.T. does much more than “balance” hormones but patients can certainly benefit from adding other safe treatments that help them control symptoms. And H.R.T. is documented by multiple independent researchers to control vaginal dryness and insomnia and depression and bone loss while helping Northern Thailand residents enjoy one of the lowest incidences of Breast Cancer
In the world. NOTE: the men have very few prostate issues either.

Chrystyne Northrop’s book Women’s Wisdom, Women’s Bodies (www.drnorthrup.com
Dr. Christiane Northrup is internationally known for her empowering approach to women’s health and wellness) has endorsed Longevity Plus’s H.R.T.
product because it works like nothing else she has seen! Dr Robert J Rowen has also written about it in Second Opinion, which we recently released to FACT members.

The data is extensive and available to anyone contacting Longevity Plus customer support at 1-800 580-7587. You may receive by email the entire collection of published papers on H.R.T. including the recent extensive review of this astounding product that forever can safely change management of menopause or bone loss for every woman with or without current known breast cancer issues related to estrogen. Women are needlessly being told to tough it out if they have estrogen positive breast cancer that shows an appalling failure to know the entire published literature on that subject. The benefits of taking estrogen more than offset the presumed risks, but with H.R.T. you actually are not only relieving the symptoms but also providing an anti- breast cancer effect!

There is always room to add homeopathic products to manage symptoms but with H.R.T.

Pesticides bans are healthy for environment and people

If you live in a province that hasn’t already banned cosmetic pesticides, tell your representative that you want legislation to ensure a clean environment for you and your children (Credit: OlivIreland via Flickr).

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

I do not use aspirin for primary prevention for any of my patients. The benefits are too small and the risks are real. It has clearly been oversold and misrepresented. It never has been an anticoagulant, but it does have some limited antiplatelet effects. On the whole it has some benefits but there are also some bleeding risks.

Moreover, since it does not decrease deaths from heart attacks or all-cause mortality, the patients are living with false sense of security and will ignore advice to be on a product that could clearly add years to their life but does not have all the marketing money behind it. Beyond Chelation-Improved is the real protection patients are seeking.

Patients who I clearly can help decrease all cause morbidity and mortality without question using Beyond Chelation Improved and, particularly for serious cases, adding Boluoke BID to the program, are not getting the message, as they believe in the hype surrounding aspirin. I can state unequivocally BC-I and Boluoke together do dramatically lower mortality from heart attacks even in patients with high risk documented left main disease. It also lowers all-cause mortality while also lowering stroke incidences.

The reasons are clear if you consider that BC-I has over 100 active ingredients and over $10 million in research behind it. BC-I has three books written about how it was developed and it took over $10 million back in the sixties to develop this natural approach to ending heart attacks and that was real money back then. There are two published studies where it lowered heart attacks by an average of 91% but that was some time before I added the EDTA to the formula. I believe that the benefits are even greater now.

So let’s take the time to learn the truth about the limitations of aspirin. For as long as your patients believe that their aspirin has made them less subject to death, they will have little real interest in learning about a product that really works, but takes real money to purchase every day of their life.

Attached is the conclusion of this large meta analysis report linked here: “There was no evidence of a statistical bias (p >0.05). In conclusion, aspirin decreased the risk for CV events and nonfatal MI in this large sample. Thus, primary prevention with aspirin decreased the risk for total CV events and nonfatal MI, but there were no significant differences in the incidences of stroke, CV mortality, all-cause mortality and total coronary heart disease.”

Excerpt:

Systematic analysis of the outcomes from the 9 trials confirmed that aspirin decreases the incidence of nonfatal MI and CV events. However, aspirin had no statistically significant effect on CHD, stroke, CV mortality, and all-cause mortality, but was highly significant for overall CV events.

Dr. Gordon’s comments:

Which is worse lead/mercury accumulations, toxins like this building up in everyone or loss of the electromagnetic field of the earth that we require for efficient metabolism? Or let’s forget which is worse and have a FIGHT program to deal with all of this and more.

But please know that in my mind Monsanto is getting away with murder. All this gluten intolerance and food sensitivities are Leaky gut related and that ties to the Bacillus Theringensis we all now have thanks to GM modified foods we all cannot escape. This is from Dr. Mercola’s link.

“Cry1Ab, a specific type of Bt toxin from genetically modified (GM) crops, has for the first time been detected in human and fetal blood samples. It appears the toxin is quite prevalent, as upon testing 69 pregnant and non-pregnant women who were eating a typical Canadian diet (which included foods such as GM soy, corn and potatoes), researchers found Bt toxin in:

*93 percent of maternal blood samples
*80 percent of fetal blood samples
*69 percent of non-pregnant women blood samples

Writing in the journal Reproductive Toxicology, the researchers noted:

“This is the first study to reveal the presence of circulating PAGMF [pesticides associated with genetically modified foods] in women with and without pregnancy, paving the way for a new field in reproductive toxicology including nutrition and utero-placental toxicities.”

This GM insecticide toxin is already showing up in fetal blood, which means it could have an untold impact on future generations.

Bt Toxin is a Built-In Pesticide
Upwards of 85 percent of U.S. corn crops contain a special gene added that allows them to produce an insecticide. This way, when bugs attempt to eat the corn they’re killed right away (specifically their stomach is split open) because the plant contains an invisible, built-in pesticide shield.

The particular gene added to most corn crops is a type of Bt-toxin — produced from Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria. Genetic engineers remove the gene that produces the Bt in bacteria and insert it into the DNA of corn (and cotton) plants.”

GM Insecticide Poisons Also Showing Up in Waterways
Given that Bt toxin has now been confirmed in the human bloodstream, it should come as no surprise that it has also infiltrated the environment. According to one study, 50 of the 217 streams, ditches and drains near cornfields that researchers tested were found to contain Cry1Ab above six nanograms per liter.

The protein is getting into the waterways via corn stalks, leaves, husks and cobs that blow into the water — a phenomenon that’s incredibly common since farmers often leave such material in fields to help minimize soil erosion.

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

Here is proof that my FIGHT concept is on target! My treatment is the same for most chronic degenerative conditions. Infections are always part of the degenerative diseases we are fighting. Thus, for doctors that can learn to offer ultraviolet blood irradiation and/or ozone along with using large doses of the strongest proven silver product on the market, ACS 200, you are really lowering the total body burden of pathogens that is getting at the causes. With zeolite first use ACZ for three bottles then ZeoGold. You are then offering the best possible detoxing program particularly if used with my Power Drink (Maca, organic Green, Beyond Fiber and BioEn’R-G’y C).

Then using curcumin for effective inflammation lowering is needed for a time so use the best forms of curcumin like Meriva.

Remember we have documented that most people have CMV and it links to vascular disease and hypertension so we must always remember to lower the total body pathogen burden in addition to lowering the burden of all toxins. Use zeolite and chelation, etc. because everyone has heavy metals in excess no matter what test you use, as lead is always 1000 times too high in bone!

Then we all have flame retardants and Bisphenol A and other organic toxins that are all clearly linked to chronic diseases like Parkinson’s but your patients need a miracle now!  They cannot wait for the 15 years it takes for bones to remodel and slowly release bone lead. If they take oral chelation and zeolite for 15 years they will have lowered that toxic challenge but they need to function better today!

So learn PEMF and add it to your practice now, as doctors are reporting a big increase in their practices when they offer PEMF for an additional fee of $30-45 per ten minute treatment! Watch the Parkinson’s patient get up and move almost normally after one
such treatment. Go to www.pemf.us for details or www.pemf.us/info to watch YouTube videos with Guillian Barre getting out of wheel chair after 9 years and autism at age 18 speaking for first time. 

Of course that gives patients hope so they will stay with you and let you get them on a total FIGHT program. Download the 18 page review of my FIGHT program on my website and you will be helping patients more than any other approach, as you are treating causes. But with earth changes we now all suffer magnetic deficiency syndrome and leaving out PEMF means results will not be as dramatic, as they are when you do it all!

Watch webinars on PEMF on my www.gordonresearch.com website and treat more effectively any condition, acute or chronic, as the science is there to explain why!

‘Friendly fire’ may be at the root of Parkinson-like diseases

  By John Pastor • Published: May 16th, 2011

Scientists have suspected exposure to viruses and other environmental factors may trigger symptoms associated with Parkinson-like diseases, but why such exposure would actually destroy certain areas of the brain has been mysterious.

New research suggests a pathway located at the base of the brain that is essential for the execution of smooth, coordinated movements may be selectively damaged by the friendly fire of the body’s immune response, according to University of Florida and Mayo Clinic Florida scientists writing today in Nature Neuroscience.

Dr. Gordon’s Comments: Many still hope that XMRV is just a bad dream. Read this and you may conclude that it is real. It makes my F.I.G.H.T. program all the more prescient, as it is based on reality.  There is always some chronically increased body burden of pathogen is almost every chronic disease.

Of course we cannot afford medical care that treats those causes but at least it is nice to learn what the truth is and why so many people are chronically ill today.  Infection is one part of the puzzle and yet 99% of all patients cannot even get a test for lead or mercury levels to say nothing of even considering one or more chronic infections when they present with all this fatigue. Antidepressants get the patient out of the office in the allotted 10 minutes or less.

American Red Cross Statement on XMRV and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

WASHINGTON, Friday, December 03, 2010 — At present, there are no specific federal recommendations regarding deferral of individuals with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or other diseases that have been associated with Murine Leukemia Virus-related virus (XMRV) infection. Nevertheless, in the interest of patient and donor safety, the American Red Cross will defer indefinitely any donor who reveals during the donor interview that they have been diagnosed with CFS.

XMRV infection has been associated in some studies with prostate cancer and chronic fatigue syndrome, but at the present time these disease associations have yet to be confirmed.

There is currently insufficient data to conclude that XMRV is transmitted through blood transfusion. However, the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Task force is conducting research to determine the frequency of the virus in the donor population, whether it is transfusion-transmitted, and whether recipients become infected and develop the disease.

PSA level velocity is a red herring; another myth about cancer diagnosis and treatment falls apart. How many men have lived in fear for years and some have had multiple biopsies, which I do not order for my patients because prostate cancer is the easiest of all cancers to treat with natural products.

– the “velocity” of rising PSA has needlessly tripled the biopsy rate providing risk without benefit for patients”

Since biopsies are now known to help spread cancer, the benefit to risk ratio for 2 out of 3 biopsies is  clearly negative. What we need, of course, is something that motivates people to follow a health promoting life style. I have called my life style program F.I.G.H.T. It is based on Dr Kobayashi’s ten years of research where some ten thousand patients avoided death from cancer.

It proved that cancer level in our body invariably diminishes with the simple health promoting steps he developed, which lead to my developing the F.I.G.H.T. program. It is important that these steps are initiated before the lump/bump stage develops. This proves that all cancer tests have some potential benefit to motivate patients to improve their health but only if we can limit the damage that overly aggressive treatment can lead to, including unwarranted biopsies. Cancer is a systemic disease and attacking the prostate or whatever tissue seems to be the focus is not the answer.

Study: PSA rise not good prostate cancer predictor
Updated Feb 24, 2011 5:58 PM |

A rising PSA level isn’t such a good a predictor of prostate cancer after all, and can lead to many unnecessary biopsies, says a large new study.

Most men over 50 get PSA blood tests, but they’re hugely problematic. Too much PSA, or prostate-specific antigen, only sometimes signals prostate cancer is brewing — it also can mean a benign enlarged prostate or an infection. And screening often detects small tumors that will prove too slow-growing to be deadly. Yet there’s no sure way to tell in advance who needs aggressive therapy.

On the other hand, some men have cancer despite a “normal” PSA count of 4 or below. So for PSAs that are rising, yet still in the normal range, some guidelines urge doctors to consider a biopsy.

How quickly the PSA number rises is something “that patients and doctors worry a lot about,” said Dr. Andrew Vickers of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. “Men show up here with a PSA of 2 and we say, ‘Why are you here?’ And they say, ‘Well, I used to be a 1 and my doctor’s worried. Am I going to die?'”

So Sloan-Kettering researchers studied whether considering PSA velocity adds value to the biopsy-or-not decision in those otherwise low-risk men — and concluded it doesn’t.
“This is a really important study,” said Dr. Otis Brawley of the American Cancer Society, who wasn’t part of the research. “A lot of doctors are going to stop looking at a PSA rise of 1 and ordering biopsies.”
