I am grateful for all the information posted on this thread

I was diagnosed 6 months ago, chose AS, and have been trying to get the best information to help myself  so far I have taken extra vitamin D, have lost 1 and a half stone, eaten more veg less meat and taken Pomi-t. My PSA is stable (8-7.5)but of course no idea what it would have been without these (I feel very well - maybe just in the mind). From the information above I certain will not be changing anything.

There does seem to be confusion about take extra fish oil supplements - does anyone know about whether these help?

Mike, have you bought the Prostate Care cookbook - published by Prostate Cancer Research UK and available on Amazon and other places. One of the few peer reviewed, research based diet books available.

As with other foods, it is better if you can include oily fish in your diet rather than take supplements. Here is the NHS advice not to take omega / fish oil supplements:

Ouch, I've not seen that before.

I don't take fish oil supplements, but I do eat a lot of salmon, which is high in omega-3 fish oils. I found about 10 years ago, it stopped some joints aching which had been aching for a few years (and they've never ached since).

I still get as much fish into John as I can - but he did stop taking the Omega tablets after this was published. I can't remember the details of the research now but from memory, most of the participants had far higher levels in their system than could be achieved just from diet so the assumption was that they were taking supplements.
