The prostate is a walnut sized gland at the base
of the bladder that encircles the urethra, the tube through which
urine is ejected. The prostate produces prostatic fluid, which makes up
the bulk of the male ejaculate and both nourishes and transports the sperm.
Cancer of the prostate gland is the second leading cause of cancer
death among men. it is primarily a disease of aging. Men in their
30's and 40's rarely develop prostate cancer, but the incidence
increases steadily after 55 years of age. Approximately 80% of all cases occur in men over the age of
65, and by
the age of eighty, 80% of all men have prostate cancer to some
degree. The American Cancer Society estimates over 244,000 new cases
of prostate cancer were diagnosed in the year 1995 alone. During that year,
40,400 men died from the disease. A male baby born today has a 13%
chance of developing prostate cancer at some time in his life, and a
3% chance of dying from the disease. Some experts believe that every
man will eventually develop prostate cancer if he lives long
enough. ...more

Although it is relatively
common, in most cases prostate cancer is, fortunately, a slow
growing cancer. Most prostate cancers arise in the rear
portion of the prostate gland; the rest originate near the
urethra. On average, prostate cancers double in mass every 6
years. Symptom include: one or more of the following: pain or
a burning sensation during urination, frequent urination, a
decrease in the size and force of urine flow, an inability to
urinate, blood in the urine, and continuing lower back,
pelvic, or suprapubic discomfort. However, the disease often
causes no symptoms at all until it reaches an advanced stage
and/or spreads outside the gland. In addition, these symptoms
most often are caused not by cancer, but by benign enlargement
or inflammation of the prostate. Professional evaluation and
diagnosis is therefore necessary.
Prostate cancer in the USA is increasing. In
part, this is due to the aging of our population. Just a
generation ago, the life expectancy for white men in the
United States was 65 years; today, it is close to 80 years.
However, the rate of prostate cancer is rapidly rising in all
men, even those under age 50. This is significant because, in
general, the younger a man is when he is diagnosed with
prostate cancer, the worse his prognosis. The increase in
prostate cancer among younger men points to the role of diet
and exposure to environmental toxins in the development of the
disease.
African-American men have the highest incidence of prostate
cancer, while Asian-Americans have the lowest. Men with a
family history of prostate cancer also run a higher risk of
developing the disease. The incidence is higher among married
men than it is among unmarried men. Also at increased risk are
men who have had recurring prostate infections, those with a
history of venereal disease, and those who have taken
testosterone. Researchers have also found a link between a
high-fat diet and prostate cancer. This may be due to the fact
that heavy fat consumption raises testosterone levels, which
could then stimulate growth of the prostate, including any
cancer cells it may be harboring. Exposure to cancer causing
chemicals increases risk as well. Some experts believe that
vasectomy may increase a man's chances of developing prostate
cancer. Poor diet and nutrition most likely also play a role
as men often have very poor eating habits with little of no
fruits and vegetables, and no supplementation by vitamins or
herbal formulas.
GOOD SUPPLEMENT PROGRAM TO TRY
Advanced
Omega - increase to 5 tablets a day for 3 weeks then reduce to 4 tablets a day for 4 weeks then use normal
dosage. The Advanced Omega should help with inflammation and pain.
Mega
Juice - increase to 5 tablets a day for 2 weeks then use 3 tablets a day for another 12
weeks and then use normal dosage
NutraPack - use the normal dose
Genesis - you can use normal dosage (3 tsp a day) or more if you
want up to double or triple the normal dosage.
-
Immunity - use as needed to
boost and strengthen the immune system.
-
Tranquility -
helps with sleep, stress, and it works with the Advanced Omega on pain. Use
1-3 tablets a day as needed.
OTHER CHANGES TO MAKE
- drink 6-8 glasses (1 gallon) of steam distilled water a day
- eat lots of raw fruits and vegetables
- brown rice and millet are very good to eat
- onions and garlic are great against cancer
- the lycopenes in tomatoes are
good to eat
- juice is good (make your
own with a juice machine)
- do not drink coffee, soda pop, other junk food drinks
- do not eat processed foods white sugar, white flour, etc...
- use stress relief like going for walks with someone you like -or-
listen to calming music
- control anger ... it can be a BIG problem for people with cancer and
maybe even a root cause
- get moderate exercise
- do not smoke and avoid second hand smoke
- fasting a few days a month can be helpful
- PRAY ... it does help with all aspects of life and healing
