Natural therapies for prostate cancer?

Question

If we note that in young men with normal testosterone levels we don't see prostate cancer why do seek to decrease testosterone? There are many natural products out there to balance hormone levels. Metagenics makes a product called Testralin for men and Estrofactors for Women I had high estrogen levels took Estrofactors for 1 1/2 years added DHEA 100mg a day and in 30 day had the estrodial drop to 270, adding testosterone dropped it to a perfect level.

As we get older between aging and diet which is stripping our bodies of its vitamins and minerals we need to supplement. Sometimes we need to megadose using a doctor that will test levels to get back to peak levels. Use a doctor that is willing to work with you and test your blood as you go. Realize that nothing happens overnight. It all takes time. I allowed 6months or so between blood tests for things to work. I cut back on the DHEA to once a week once I was balanced.

Answer 1

Try the following web site and buy this book. Prescription for Nutritional Healing (Third Edition) by Phyllis A. Balch.  It has a great section on prostate cancer. Too many nutrients, herbs, recommendations and considerations for me to list.  I use this book for all my medical questions as it goes into depth on so many maladies. http://www.alibris.com/booksearch?qwork=...

Answer 2

From the book, The Reader's Digest Family Guide to Alternative Medicine, page 287, one can read the following:

1)  Accupuncture

Practicioners claim success in relieving prostate problems by using pressure points on the bladder, large intestines, spleen, kidney, conception ang governor meridians.  In addition, treatment by Moxibustion may be applied.

2)  Herbal Medicine

For non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, and difficulty in passing water, herbalists may use diuretic herbs such as couch grass, horsetail or saw palmetto, to promote discharge of the urine.

3)  Naturopathy

Hot and cold compresses, or sitz baths, are key part of naturopathic treatment of prostate disorder.  Regular exercise is a preventive measure for enlarged prostate symptoms, and supplement of zinc may reduce the swelling about 15mg a day is the usual recommended dose, or perhaps eating 30g of pumpkin seeds daily.  Plenty of fluids may also help - but cut down on alcohol, strong tea and coffee.

4)  Biochemic Tissue Salts

Try Nat sulph when it is difficult or impossible to retain urine; Calc phos for a frequent need to urinate; and Mag phos when the need is constant when walking, or even standing.

Answer 3

You should read Health begins in the colon.  This  book is great and specifically addresses cancers.

Answer 4

Megan,

One of the most effective "natural therapies" for helping with prostate is saw palmetto.  What you need to know and be concerned with is that "natural therapies" and alternative medicine is a big thing and getting more and more popular all the time and there are a lot of companies out there that want a piece of the $$$ pie.

If you want the best assurance that you are getting a quality product, then you want to get it from a company called Nikken (pronounced  nee-ken).  They have the highest quality nutritional supplements on the planet because they are Whole Food supplements, meaning that every single nutrient that is in each capsule is in the exact same form that it is in food.  This is extremely important because that is the only way the body can absorb it.  If your body is NOT absorbing it then you just wasted your money.

A medical doctor personally witnessed a combination of Nikken's nutritional products helping a girl come out of a 9-month coma in 3 days when the doctors that were treating her had taken her off of all medications and expected her to die within 5 days.  Pretty awesome stuff.

Contact me and I will tell you how to get the Nikken supplement with saw palmetto in it for a healthy prostate.

Answer 5

I don't know about prostate cancer specifically, but there seems to be some positive feedback on using some mushrooms as a complementary treatment for cancer. There's a couple of links at http://www.cancerdoubts.com

Answer 6

Saw Palmeto is a herb proven to balance hormone levels, and for prostate health. Dr.'s Best Comprehensive Prostate Formula is good as it is pharmaceutical grade and has additional vitamins in one capsule.

Also build up to 30 drops of GHT Oxygen Elements Plus/Max per day. This will oxygenate the body. Cancer cells are anaerobic and cannot grow in an oxygen enriched environment.

Also, look into the MERCK patent, 1946, how to produce Hyperimmune milk. What this invlolves is when the cow is gestating, not yet having produced milk, you inject 10cc of your blood up the teet of the cow's udder, infused not injected into the udder. You do this for 3 consecutive weeks, then when the milk is produced you freeze it in bags, and drink it over the next few months.

The hyperimmune milk contains various antigens, and cytokines {chemcials that augment the immune system by allowingwhite blood cells to communicate}, once drunk this helps with infections, this technique was made by MERCK Pharmaceuticals, prior to the advent of antibiotics, it is verry useful. Watch Jerry Brunetti's video 'Food As Medicine' on youtube/google video.

look into Rife technology, www.rife.de, oncotherm make good machines, the GB4000 is good as well.

Also alkalise your body by eating lots of raw veg/fruit dark green leafy vegetables especially, Read a book called 'The pH Miracle' it sells on amazon. Cancer patients usually have an internal acidic environment, ideal for cancer and pathogenic microbes to thrive.

Also see an orthomolecular medicine doctor, take 1000mg-2000mg of Vitamin C per day in the form of magnesium ascorbate. Cut out all meat, cheese, sugar, from your diet. Look into Laetrile as well, as well as Dr. Hulda Clark's book 'Cure for all advanced cancers', she is a ND naturopath, and has natural remedies for all types of cancers.

Make a detox tea, watch 'Jerry Brunetti's videos, his a cancer survivor, he had non-hodgkins lymphoma, and he used alternative medicine alone. I think they are on google video or youtube. It include Pau De' Arco, and other antimicrobial ingredients. Look into HyperImmune Milk, the MERCk Patent, its all on Bruunetti's videos, 'A personal odyssey/nutrition' and 'Food as Medicine'

Also look into the Moss Reports, they cost money to buy the rport, but trust me it is worth it. Ralph Moss takes a scientific approach when evaluating alternative medicine for cancer, specific to whatever cancer that you have, he has a report for all of them. I believe his daughter died of cancer from conventional medicine route.http://www.cancerdecisions.com/order.htm...

I would recommend you see a good naturopath, nutritionist, and an open minded medical doctor to help you fight this. Ask them if they have treated cancer before, and leukemia, and ask for testomies and whether you could talk to their previous patients ect. As well as an orthomolecular doctor {sometimes a good nutritionist is trained in this area also}, as well as a good western botanical medicine herbalist.

Consider supplement with 'Oxygen Elements Plus' by GHT, as well as oxygen/ozone therapy. Look into DCA a new drug to restart mitochondria in cancer cells, not on prescription yet, but i heard people are getting their hands on it somehow from chemical companies. Enzyme Therapy and Laetrile are said to work for tumors, find out if it works for your condition, open the yellow pages, find local Naturopaths, nutritionists, M.D's who are familiar with this therapy.

Look into Gerson Therapy, it involves juicing fruit and vegetables in certain proportions, watch the documentery called DyingToHaveKnown, its on p2p networks. Norwalk juicer is the best to buy for this, and it is approved by the Gerson Clinics, but it is very expensive, a champion juicer might be more affordable.

Hope this helps. Dont hesitate to email me. put IMPORTANT as the subject, as i have hundreds of emails in my inbox
