Prostate Cancer Is A Case In Point

Prostate cancer is a case in point. The official story about prostate cancer is that men can choose from at least five different courses of treatment. The simplest is known as watchful waiting, which means doing nothing unless later tests show the cancer is worsening. More aggressive options include removing the prostate gland or receiving one of several forms of radiation. The latest treatment called proton radiation therapy involves a proton accelerator that can be as big as a football field with the treatments costing 100,000. Unfortunately for the developers and investors very few people will be able to afford that option with a cataclysmic economic collapse in the making. Prostate cancer kills an estimated 35,000 men in the United States each year and attacks another 165,000. Most cases of prostate cancer do not occur until after men turn 50, but in recent years there has been a steady rise in the percentage of men in their 30s and 40s with both prostate problems and prostate cancer, primarily as a result of poor diet and increasing environmental pollution. One man in six will get prostate cancer during his lifetime The New York Times reported that, “Some doctors swear by one treatment, others by another. But no one really knows which is best. Rigorous research has been scant. Above all, no serious study has found that the high-technology treatments do better at keeping men healthy and alive. Most die of something else before prostate cancer becomes a problem.” “No therapy has been shown superior to another,” an analysis by the RAND Corporation found. Dr. Michael Rawlins, the chairman of a British medical research institute, said “We’re not sure how good any of these treatments are.” When asked, Dr. Daniella Perlroth of Stanford University, who has studied the data, what she would recommend to a family member, she paused. Then she said, “Watchful waiting.” 1) Watchful waiting costs a few thousand dollars in doctor visits and tests. Actually watching and waiting means doing nothing when there are plenty of wonderful and natural things one can do to improve PSA scores. (Note below that PSA scores do not offer the best guidance.) 2) Surgery to remove the prostate gland costs about $23,000; possible complications include impotence and urinary incontinence. 3) A targeted form of radiation, known as I.M.R.T., runs $50,000. I.M.R.T. involves a large time commitment, requiring patients to visit a radiation center 45 times over the course of nine weeks. A concern that the multiple-beam radiation of I.M.R.T. may raise the risk of secondary cancers since science already knows that radiation exposure causes cancer. 4) Proton radiation therapy often exceeds $100,000. Use of I.M.R.T. rose tenfold from 2002 to 2006, according to RAND data. A new proton

treatment center will open in July of 2009 in Oklahoma City, and others are being planned in Chicago, South Florida and elsewhere. The NY Times is very clear about the high costs of this procedure saying, “You may never see this bill, but you’re paying it. It has raised your health insurance premiums and left your employer with less money to give you a decent raise. The cost of prostate cancer care is one small reason that some companies have stopped offering health insurance. It is also one reason that medical costs are on a pace to make the federal government insolvent.” The cause of prostate cancer is unknown medical officials say but that is really not true. There are many known causes and profiles that help guide our treatment and necessary changes of life. A report published in the June, 2009 issue of A Cancer Journal for Clinicians shows that routine PSA blood tests often result in over diagnosis of prostate cancer, resulting in unnecessary treatments and psychosocial harm. Drs. Boyle and Brawley, of the International Prevention Research Institute, Lyon, France said, "The real impact and tragedy of prostate cancer screening is the doubling of the lifetime risk of a diagnosis of prostate cancer with little if any decrease in the risk of dying from this disease."1 The PSA era is over in the United States," says Dr. Thomas Stamey, professor of urology and lead author of a study published in the Journal of Urology. "Our study raises a very serious question of whether a man should even use the PSA test for prostate cancer screening any more.2 From the time it first became standard to remove prostates in response to high PSA levels to the present - reveals that as a screen, the test now indicates nothing more than the size of the prostate gland.”3 According to the American Cancer Society, “There can be different reasons for an elevated PSA level, including prostate cancer, benign prostate enlargement, inflammation, infection, age, and race,” all factors that make PSA test results confusing, leading to potential for unnecessary treatment and suffering when tests are elevated. Complications of ill advised prostate cancer treatments include urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction, both difficult to reverse and both significantly decreasing the quality of life. The Times did not mention the option of doing what makes sense while one watches and waits and it is hard to understand why. There is a list of natural nutritional agents that are helpful in treating prostate cancer including getting lots of sun exposure to drive up Vitamin D levels,

which costs virtually nothing to do. One might need to purchase full spectrum sun lamps if one lives at extreme latitudes or if the sun is not shining enough but even that option is not costly. Iodine is also a key component because reduced iodine levels in the breasts, ovaries, thyroid and prostate glands predispose one to higher cancer risk. The great advantage of knowing the prime cause of a disease is that it can then be attacked logically and over a broad front. Dr. Otto Warburg

Prostate cancer is cancer that grows in prostate gland. The prostate is a small, walnut-sized structure that makes up part of a man's reproductive system. It wraps around the urethra, the tube that carries urine out of the body.

Iodine as Chemo Agent Dr. David Derry said, “Lugol's solution is an iodine-in-water solution used by the medical profession for 200 years. One drop (6.5 mg per drop) of Lugol's daily in water, orange juice or milk will gradually eliminate the first phase of the cancer development namely fibrocystic disease of the breast so no new cancers can start. It also will kill abnormal cells floating around in the body at remote sites from the original cancer. Of course this approach appears to work for prostate cancer as prostate cancer is similar to breast cancer in many respects. Indeed, it likely will help with most cancers.” There are over 1 million prostate cancer tissue biopsy procedures performed annually in the U.S. Approximately 25% of these tissue biopsies are reported “positive”, indicating the presence of prostate cancer. The other 75% of prostate cancer tissue biopsies are reported as “negative”. Though it cost a bit more, Nascent Iodine is more palatable (less caustic) for oral usage and

this is what I recommend for children. Lugol’s I reserve for transdermal application. At very high dosages we are talking about treatment costs of approximately 70 dollars a month at maximum doses.Meaning you can do iodine for more than a thousand months before you would spend what you would for having protons warped into your gland. This is the treatment to go for as is sodium bicarbonate, which we will talk about in depth below; we will see in the end which is the best way to go at any price or cost. A study conducted at University of Illinois has found an interesting relation between prostate cancer and daily consumption of broccoli and tomato. Both these vegetables have been known to contain compounds that can fight cancer. These compounds seem to work better in combination.4 Selenium also is highly indicated as a more than valuable supplement. A 1996 study by Dr. Larry Clark of the University of Arizona showed just how effective selenium can be in protecting against cancer. In the study of 1,300 older people, the occurrence of cancer among those who took 200 micrograms of selenium daily for about seven years was reduced by 42 percent compared to those given a placebo. Cancer deaths for those taking the selenium were cut almost in half, according to the study that was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association on December 25, 1996. In addition, the men who had taken selenium had 63 percent fewer prostate cancers, 58 percent fewer colorectal cancers, 46 percent fewer lung cancers and overall 37% fewer cancers. Selenium was found to reduce the risk of lung cancer to a greater degree than stopping smoking.5 There are now seven population studies in the past six years that examined the possible connection between selenium and prostate cancer. All but one of them has found selenium protective. Karen Collins, R.D. Also it makes more than perfect medical sense to increase intensely magnesium cellular (not serum) levels. Why because, “There is reasonable evidence to suggest that calcium may play an important role in the development of prostate cancer,” says Dr. Carmen Rodriguez, senior epidemiologist in the epidemiology and surveillance research department of the American Cancer Society (ACS). Rodriguez says that a 1998 Harvard School of Public Health study of 47,781 men found those consuming between 1,500 and 1,999 mg of calcium per day had about double the risk of being diagnosed with metastatic (cancer that has spread to other parts of the body) prostate cancer as those getting 500 mg per day or less. And those taking in 2,000 mg or more had over four times the risk of developing metastatic prostate cancer as those taking in less than 500 mg.

Calcium and magnesium are opposites in their effects on our body structure. As a general rule, the more rigid and inflexible our body structure is, the less calcium and the more magnesium we need. It is no surprise to find another Harvard study in October 2001, which looked at dairy product intake among 20,885 men and found men consuming the most dairy products had about 32% higher risk of developing prostate cancer than those consuming the least High magnesium intake reverses calcification damages and inflammation when used intensely. High calcium levels interfere with Vitamin D and subsequently inhibit the vitamin’s cancer protective effect unless extra amounts of Vitamin D are supplemented.6 In this second half of this chapter we are going to focus on two other treatments that come at the exact other end of the spectrum from expensive proton therapy. First is sodium bicarbonate therapy, which is like a kind of natural chemotherapy that can be done easily and safely by anyone for less than five dollars and the other is prostate massage, which can be self administered for free or done by medical doctors. The two together with a full spectrum natural chemo protocol behind them would not only be highly cost effective for individuals and society but by all indications they would be effective and safe to do. Even if one wants to spend a fortune on more dangerous treatments both sodium bicarbonate and prostate massage should be required adjunct therapies since they can only improve results and reduce and buffer the toxicity and harm of aggressive chemical and radiation treatments. Actually both of these treatments and all the concentrated nutritional medicinals above offer us a nothing to lose and everything to gain treatment for prostate cancer. Hormone deprivation therapy causes tumours to shrink; however, it’s not a cure. The tumours eventually regrow into a stronger form, becoming resistant to treatment.6 With the latest advancements in our understanding of concentrated nutritional medicines we can now confidently present a protocol that makes doing nothing and waiting into an idiot’s option. We really don’t have to wait for innovative, improved and advanced treatment options for they exist already and the medical science is plentiful to backstop the use of the substances presented here.

He said elevated levels of that protein, prostate specific antigen, a protein normally produced by the prostate gland. actually reflect a condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia, a harmless increase in prostate size. 4 Dr. Q.Y. Lu and colleagues from the University of California at Los Angeles found that, "These avocados were found to contain the highest content of lutein among commonly eaten fruits as well as measurable amounts of related carotenoids (zeaxanthin, alpha-carotene, and

beta-carotene). Lutein accounted for 70% of the measured carotenoids, and the avocado also contained significant quantities of vitamin E. An acetone extract of avocado containing these carotenoids and tocopherols was shown to inhibit the growth of both androgen-dependent (LNCaP) and androgen-independent (PC-3) prostate cancer cell lines in vitro. Incubation of PC-3 cells with the avocado extract led to G2/M cell cycle arrest accompanied by an increase in p27 protein expression." 5 Clark LC. The epidemiology of selenium and cancer.
