A Reasonable Conventional Prostate Cancer Treatment

A fairly new prostate cancer technique is gaining popularity. It is one of the first reasonable cancer treatments to come out of conventional medicine. The green laser procedure is effective in:

This procedure is done in an arthroscopic manner so you can go home the same day.

Since this is an AMA/FDA accepted procedure, you can ask your convention doctor about it. But, don't forget that cancer is a multifaceted disease, visit the Cancer Essentials* page to learn what you can add to your arsenal regardless of the primary treatment you select. Then, you will have a more complete approach.

Old Conventional Prostate Cancer Treatment

A good example of conventional cancer treatment is prostate surgery. For prostate cancer patients who have surgery (a prostate):

It would seem that trying side-effect-free alternatives before surgery makes a lot of sense, but doctors are very skilled at talking patients out of this reasonable course of action.

Prostate Supplements

The following supplements have been used as support for prostate cancer patients as well as preventative supplements.

Beta-Sitosterol

This is the active ingredient in most of the popular prostate preventatives such as saw pimento and pumpkin seed. Its effectiveness in reducing prostate swelling is clearly demonstrated in the following randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical trial published in Lancet. 1995 Jun 17;345(8964):1529-32. The study was run by the Department of Urology, Ruhr-University, Bochum, Germany.

200 patients (recruited between April and October 1993) with symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate) were treated with either 20 mg beta-sitosterol (which contains a mixture of phytosterols) three times per day or placebo. Changes in urine flow parameters: beta-sitosterol treatment resulted in increasing peak flow (15.2 [5.7] mL/s from 9.9 [2.5] mL/s), and decrease of mean residual urinary volume (30.4 [39.9] mL from 65.8 [20.8] mL). These parameters did not change in the placebo group (p < 0.01). Significant improvement in symptoms and urinary flow parameters show the effectiveness of beta-sitosterol.

This result demonstrated the usefulness of beta-sitosterol in the treatment and prevention of prostate cancer.

Preventative Dosage

There is no established dosage for prostate prevention, but doses of up to 6 grams have been used for colesterol control. One source for prostate cancer prevention listed dosage as low as 60 to 135 mg. Source Naturals produces a Mega Strength Beta Sitosterol tablet that contains 375 mg $13 at Vitacost.com 1-800-381-0759.

DIM

DIM (Di-indolylmethane) might be the secret of the prostate health. Commercially raised beef, chicken and pork contain added hormones to speed up growth increasing the estrogen in your body. Soy additives that act like estrogen and which are listed as vegetable protein are found in many processed foods and even in vitamins and medicines.  Also, as men get older, we produce more fat cells. Fat cells produce an enzyme called aromatase which turns testosterone into a powerful form of estrogen, called estradiol. The net result is a tremendous increase in estrogen as your testosterone levels decline.

When estrogen goes up and testosterone goes down, men experience weight gain (especially around the belly), flabby muscles, weaker erections, poor memory, mood swings, circulatory problems including blood clots, sinus problems and PSA levels rise. Also, the risk of abnormal cell growth skyrockets. DIM (di-indolylmethane) reverses this estrogen build-up and erase these symptoms. It converts bad estrogen into "good" estrogen by-products. These good estrogen by-products trigger more testosterone to be released in your bloodstream. Having more free testosterone works wonders for your sex drive, energy levels, fitness and prostate health. DIM shrinks swollen prostates down to normal size and lowers your PSA levels. It is also a potent immune booster, anti-viral agent, increases energy levels, and builds lean, hard muscle.

Side Effects
As of Jan 2010, no side effects have been reported.

Dosage
Typical dosage is 150 mg of DIM, two times a day. A good supplier is vitacost.com who sell 180 pills containing 100 mg of DIM for $30. 1-800-381-0759

Curcumin from Turmeric

Curcumin is a well know over-the-counter preventative for Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, Parkinson's, arthritis, cancer, Alzheimer's and heart disease. It is also used as a general anti-inflammatory agent. Details can be obtained from the Advanced Health & Life and the Ray Sahelian, M.D. web sites. Curcumin has even been applied as a noninvasive topical paste directly onto tumors and inhibited tumor growth. Available in many dosage sizes including 60 capsules of 800 mg each from Life Extension for $16 toll free 800 544-4440.

Preventative Dosage
Dosages for optimum benefit have not been determined. Common recommendations are 400 to 600 mg of curcumin three times daily. Curcumin has been used to treat pancreatic cancer in doses as high as 12 grams a day.

Calcium D-Glucarate

Calcium D-Glucarate removes excess hormones that can stimulate tumor growth. This has been proven with animal testing and with human tumor cells. It has been able to stop the growth of breast, colon, liver, lung, prostate and skin tumors and prevented them from even starting. It also helps the body remove toxins. 

Dosage
Typical dosage for cancer patients is between 500 and 1000 mg given twice a day.

Hormone Balancing Machines

In recent years Quantum biofeedback machines have appeared in hospitals in China and England. The reason is simple, when conventional medicine does not work, the medicine of the future might. I primarily use my machine to eliminate hot flashes which are the result of female hormone imbalance. The thing I like about doing this work is that results are immediate after one or two sessions either the hot flashes stop completely or I return the clients money. The machine is successful more than half the time.  To learn more about how therapy and how it can be performed remotely, go to the Energy Balancing Biofeedback* page.

Humor is Still the Best Medicine

Scientific proof of the health benefit of humor can be found in the December 2006 issue of The International Journal of Psy­chiatry in Medicine. Scientists from the Norwegian University of Science and St. Olav’s Hospital found that the group that scored higher on sense of humor (all had the same critical condition - kidney failure), “increased their odds for survival by on average of 31%.”

I have purchased many joke books and have always been disappointed. However, people are always sending me jokes. Most of them were only OK, but the really good ones, I kept and edited. After 15 years I had 170 pages of really good, concisely written jokes. I am now offering this collection for only $14 to $10 (depending on quantity).

Enjoy a few sample jokes from this book *
