HOW TO PREVENT PROSTATE CANCER

the psa is a very valid indicator of prostate cancer growth--in my 19 yrs i have never had client die with a psa under (50) regardless of the gleason score- never-- and never had a client die with prostate cancer with a free testosterone above 2.5 % and total testosterone of over 350--(of course the ratio has to be good)-and we have never lost a client with a gleason 7 or below in now over 19 yrs---no it is not all about psa--the psa will follow in its place as i direct the body through these products to responed to the issue-and the issue in every prostate cancer case (diagnosis) is estradiol - the bad estrogen--these products you have been taking will cause the brain to tell the testicles not to produce and more testosterone/estrogen (estradiol) therefore this will allow the free testostorone to rise and start killing the cancerous cells-(this is called a free testosterone flare) therfore lowering the psa-the products only has an impact on psa -(through free testosterone increase)when a man is diagnosised with prostate cancer -(i promise you his free T is going to be almost non existant -and if it is extremly low- the man will ususally be dignosed with a very high gleason -in the range of 8 through 10--if he is under the age of 50 -he will most always be given a gleason of 9 or 10--simply because he started losing his free T at a very early age and was not being tested on an annual basis --(this is much more important than having a psa) i recomedned that all men start getting checked for low free T at age 25--(as at this time the free T starts to decline) i got my first client the other day with prostate cancer age 29 with a gleason of 9--(this is very sad)-this could have been provented had he known----------------i want to make one thing clear here i do not want you to run out and start taking testosterone--------------------------------------------------------------------------------that is not what i am saying to you--you have known cancer and with known prostate cancer cells is is a balancing act to keep the estrogen and testodsterone levels balanced--if the free T gets to high then the testosterone will start converting to estradiol--therfore it will start the cancerous cells growing again -very quickly---(this is how i have kept men alive for so many yrs and most of them medicaly should have already been dead---again i know how to balance this--medicine does not have a clue- PLEASE NOTE-MAKE SURE ALL EXISTING CLIENTS GET A NEW PSA EVERY 6 MONTHS AND REPORT IT TO US--THANKS YOUR FRIEND--LARRY POPE-WWW.NUTRITION2000INFO.COM

Increase Semen Volume

Dude a friend of mine has been was tring to increase sperm production. he try all natural threaph, they were working, but very slow, so at the end, he try try semenpills to increase prodcution, volume and flavour. and yes, results were great.

Thanks

Genetics is a HUGE part

I won't dispute that improved diet can HELP forestall certain types of cancer. But a family history of prostate cancer isn't going to go away because we eat right. I was diagnosed in 2006 at age 45 with a PSA of 109 (yes, that's right: one hundred and nine). Had I relied on diet alone, I'd be dead today.

My sons will roll loaded dice. Improved diet may help them delay or avoid it until they are much older. But don't tell me that I got cancer just because of my diet.

is it safe to have intercourse with husband whe he has prostate canser?

What is the danger for a wife if she has intercourse with the husband who has prostate canser?

prostate cancer and vit D

Have your vit D level tested!!! [25(OH)] vit d deficency is associated w/ most prostate disorders.

prostate cancer

Does anyone know of a documented relationship between a mother having breast cancer and her son's risk of prostate cancer?

biopsy

on 2 separate test my psa level was 7.0 and 7.8.. Had 2 biopsies taken 2 yrs. apart...Both came back perfect,clean as a whistle..55 yrs. old Appearently the psa level isnt always an indicator of a problem

Diet is key!

I was diagnose with Prostate Cancer in December 2007. At that time my PSA level was still under the convential limit of 4.00 at 3.20. No sign of Prostate Cancer had been detected on annual physical exams. However, I ultimately had a 12 needle prostate biopsy performed, principally because my PSA had made a sharp rise in a short time, and was experiencing some other, albeit relatively mild prostate related symtoms. Voila! One of the twelve needles came back with a solid core of cancerous tissue and another a trace.

Having seen my father die of Prostate Cancer in the 80's, when he was about 10 years older than I am now, I attacked the subject with fervor, and reached some startling conclusions. The 10 year survival rate is almost identical for those who have their prostate surgically removed, those who treat with radiation and those wh do nothing (termed "watchful waiting"). These statistics can be found in the John Hopkins White Paper on this topic, and in numerous other resources. If that be the case, then why have a radical surgical procedure or subject oneself to radiation? There's got to be a better way.

My further research revealed that there is a whole cadre of folk who are not AMA sanctioned, who are adamant in their believe that a strictly adhered macrobiotic diet is the cure to Prostate Cancer and offers similar hope for many other cancers. I signed on, and as of Jan 1, gave up sugar in all forms, artificial sweetners, caffiene, hydrogenated vegetable oils, eggs, all meat (except occasional small portions of fish), nighshade vegetables, all dairy products and strictly limited fruit intake. I adopted a macorbiotic diet of 50 - 60% whole grains (brown rice, barley, soy, rye, whole wheat, etc.), 30% cooked vegetables, a small amount of seeds and nuts, sea vegetables, some raw vegetables, limited fruit, etc. I started a simple progrem of reasonable excercise, principally about 20 - 30 minutes of calesthenics each morning. I take a regime of supplements, but no megadoses of any.

Since the onset, I reduced my weight by more than 20%, form 187 to 147 on my 5'11" frame. I weigh what I did when I was 30 years younger. My energy level has soared. My cholesteral has dropped dramatically. I quit taking blood pressure medication and with diet alone now have blood pressure that's typically 115-120/70-75 with a resting pulse between 55 and 65. Those a amazing stats for this guy, More importantly, all of my prostate related symptopms have left me, and my PSA is now down from tis peak by 35% at 2.10.

I am convinced that diet is the principle culprit, with probably some genetics thrown in the mix as to why there is such a high incidence of Prostate Cancer in western men. Clean up your diet and avoid PC! I am hopeful that Prostate Cancer can actually be reversed through diet, and the evidence in my case seems at least to be pointing in that direction. The jury is out on, and more will be revealed.

How to Prevent Prostate Cancer

Very nice article, I especially like your last sentence....unfortunately, more men will opt for the "magic pill" instead of making the known lifestyle changes that much research has proven to not only stop the progression of prostate cancer, but prevents the onset of disease and that's proper nutrition.

Yes, folks, that means giving up processed foods, most meats and getting back to that high fresh fruit and vegetable diets our bodies were made for. The cure for cancer and all other diseases is sitting right here staring us in the face and that's getting back to a basic diet that does not include fried foods, processed snack foods, packaged dinners, etc. Think about it, if there are preservatives in the food the give it longer shelf life, think what those same preservatives are doing to your insides....hardening them for preservation, or slowing killing us.

Thanks again for a well-written article...

About On Men

It's fitting that On Men is being revived by Contributor Ford Vox, M.D., a resident in rehabilitation medicine at Barnes-Jewish Hospital/Washington University in St. Louis. He will share his thoughts about the latest medical research and issues that affect men. Dr. Vox, who also reports for Reuters Health, knows he should spend more time swimming laps, but that would cut into his soothing soaks in the aquatic center whirlpool. Push him into the deep end with questions and comments at onmen@usnews.com.
