That's not right. Hold on. I'm almost ready. No, there's not two of me. There's not two of me. Let's go for a ride. Turn that off.

All right, let me just adjust my background view here and it will be amazing. Come on. Why? Why? Why?

All right, everything's working now. How are all you doing? Everybody good?

Well, I got to tell you a little story that involves me. So, as you know, I'm going through this prostate cancer situation and it's quite a journey in which I'm learning many things, but let me tell you what I learned this week.

So, my PSA started to spike again. So, I had to go in for a battery of blood tests because that's what you do. And they give you the results so you can see them online before you've talked to a doctor.

Now, a few times this has caused me some really big problems because I look at the results before I know what, before I'm smart enough to interpret them. So on Friday, I looked at the results and the test for your liver function was, I don't know the exact numbers it's supposed to be, but let's say it was supposed to be under I don't know under 10 or 50 or something and it was about a thousand.

Now, that would suggest that your liver has died and you might not be able to get it back and that might be the end of the game. And so, I kept wondering when the symptoms of liver death would kick in. It took me a few days to get a, you know, it was a weekend, so it took me a few days to get an appointment with my oncologist.

And so that morning I'm waiting to hear how long I have because if your liver is completely dead, well, there's not a whole lot of things you can do that are very pleasant, right? So for about three or four days, I was under the belief that my liver was dead and probably there was nothing I could do about it.

I talked to my oncologist by Zoom yesterday and there were a number of things we needed to talk about. But after we talked about a few things, he had not mentioned the obvious problem that my liver had died and the blood test very clearly. I mean, you don't have to be a doctor to look at those numbers and know, oh I'm dead. I'm so dead.

So, if I look like I was a little down the last time I talked to you, it's because I believed I would be dead maybe that week or at least hospitalized forever or something horrible. So, it looks like he's about done with his comments and I go, "Okay, now give me the bad news. Tell me about the liver." He goes, "Oh, your liver is fine." I said, "No, no, it's not. I saw the blood test. I saw it was way out of range."

He goes, "Oh no. That's a false positive because of your bone cancer. If you have bone cancer, it influences the liver blood test, but not because there's anything wrong with your liver." Because there was some other blood indicator. He goes, "Oh, actually your liver is improved. It's better than it was last time. Yeah, there's no problem. Your liver is fine."

Now, have you ever gone through a turn like that? Three, four days, I thought I was dead. And all I was doing was reading a blood test wrong. It's not the first time I've done that. It's not the first time, but indeed, my PSA is up.

So, one possibility is they'll add or change my testosterone blocking stuff. So, I took a testosterone test yesterday. Oh, you want to know the results? I wonder if I have them. Who wants to know the results of my testosterone test? Because I believe it probably didn't get knocked down as much as it should have from the other drugs. I'm now on steroids as I mentioned. So if I start yelling at you.

Oh, I do have a result. So you're going to find out in real time maybe. Except their computers are slow. All right. Testosterone test. Sure enough. Let's see how I did. I'll look at my trend.

Huh. Oh, I've only done one test. So the normal range. Oh. So this is the one time you don't want to be in the normal range because normal range means you're going to die because testosterone is basically fuel for the cancer. So the whole point of the testosterone blockers is to get it, you know, below the normal range. And I'm right in the middle of the normal range of testosterone. Well, that's bad news. It's 357. The normal range is 240 to 900.

Oh, wait. Oh. Oh, I do have. What? Yeah. You know what's funny? I did take the testosterone test years ago, 2009. So, it's on the history. So, it's telling me that my testosterone, I'm on two very powerful testosterone blockers and my testosterone is substantially higher than it was in 2009 before I'd had any meds for anything or any cancer. So, my testosterone is actually up.

All right. Well, I'm probably dead, but today's show will be fine because the prednisone is working. So, I feel actually better than normal because the drugs do that. But, no, if you missed the first part, I've got an option now for a different med because these didn't work. The new med is quite promising and there's at least one thing we could try with more testosterone blockers which I imagine we'll do first.

All right, but enough about me. I wonder if there's any science in the news that they didn't have to do because they could have just asked me. Oh, here's some. According to Karina Petroa and Sai Post, the ketogenic diet is associated with a 70% decrease in depression symptoms in a new pilot study.

So, let me tell you what I know and why they didn't have to do that. Number one, keto is a low sugar diet. If you simply stopped eating as much sugar as you used to, you would have more energy. That's a well-established fact that everybody knows, including me. And you know what I've been saying and totally ignored by all of medical science because obviously I can't read blood tests. And I should be ignored on all things medical. I recommend that you ignore me on all things medical.

However, I already knew the sugar made you tired because you'd spike and then crash. And my hypothesis, which I refuse to release, is that depression symptoms are a result of low energy because I know in my life and every single person I've ever known or observed, when their energy is high, they can find a way to be in a good mood. And when their energy is low, they very well might feel depressed.

So, I'm going to say it for the millionth time. I do believe there's a form of depression that is not affected too much by diet. You know, some real deep depression, the kind that you know, you were born with some different structure in your brain. But I'll bet you that 90% of what we call depression or depression symptoms, about 90% that's my just my guess, is energy because I have never once been sad and had a lot of energy at the same time. Never once. If it happens to you, let me know.

Well, I saw just as I was getting ready to go live here t
