His life was saved? They usually say that the patient is in remission. In the mean time I believe the seeds can have damaging side effects like ED. I just would be careful about painting too rosy a picture without knowing all the details. He may have done just as well by changing his diet. Clinical studies have shown that men with a 4 or 5 (and even higher) PSA have had great success in lowering their numbers through diet.
