"While there is no direct scientific evidence that taking a daily multiple vitamin and mineral supplement will prevent prostate cancer, a number of benefits are worth considering: Niacin, a B vitamin, works at the DNA level in the cell nucleus with an enzyme that repairs DNA. Being sure you have sufficient niacin makes sense. Similarly, folic acid, another B vitamin, is essential in DNA synthesis and in the way in which genes are expressed. Data has accumulated that indicates folic acid shortfalls predispose people to cancer. It makes sense to be sure your folic acid is up to optimum levels." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of prostate cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.) "Men who exercise regularly (at least four hours weekly) and maintain good fitness have about half the prostate cancer risk of men who don't exercise. Other studies have consistently proven regular exercise also reduces colorectal cancer risk in both men and women. Maintaining an exercise program (and keeping fit, as discussed in the next chapter) is probably the simplest thing a man can do to reduce his risk. When you exercise vigorously, do you feel hot? Do you sweat? Do you notice that your heart beats faster?" - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of prostate cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.) "That probably explains why heavy drinking causes above-average breast and prostate cancer risk. Another side of alcohol is its ability to dehydrate. In fact, the bad effects from too much alcohol—a hangover —are usually the result of dehydration and elevated blood sugar. So, be sure to drink lots of water. A good rule to follow is to have one full 8-ounce glass of water for each drink during the evening. This helps restore fluid loss and will keep you healthy. You can offset the alcohol even more by substituting a glass of orange juice for one glass of water." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of prostate cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.) "The best studies prove quite clearly that 36 ounces of a soy beverage, such as soy milk, daily provides soy isoflavonoids comparable to levels that reduced prostate cancer induced in animals. What this tells us is that about one serving of soy daily, however, is probably sufficient when it is part of a prevention-oriented diet. The Mediterranean Diet emphasizes lots of vegetables, including beans and legumes, and fruits. Add to that at least one daily serving of soy food. This can include a variety of choices that range from soy burgers, 8 ounces of a soy beverage, tofu, and other soy foods." - James Scala Ph.D., 20 Natural Ways to Reduce the Risk of prostate cancer : A Mind-Body Approach to Health and Well-Being (Get the book.)

"There are, it seems to us, two implications for our book: (1) in an unknown proportion of cases, screening for prostate cancer leads, in and of itself, to drastic and debilitating treatment of a condition that may never become life threatening; and (2) there is no evidence that screening for prostate cancer results in any public health advantage. Breast Cancer. In the city of Shanghai, China, one-quarter million women were divided into two groups. In the first, women were given intensive training on how to conduct breast self-exams, the skill being reinforced one and three years later." - Gerald E. Markle and Frances B. McCrea, What If Medicine Disappeared? (Get the book.)

"And while breast cancer is tragic, prostate cancer is equally prevalent in men and even more lethal. The NCI spends one fourth the amount on prostate cancer research as on breast cancer research. There are no good early screening procedures for prostate cancer, which means that in 85% of the prostate cancers found, the cancer has spread beyond the prostate gland and is difficult to treat. Comparing the outcome of 223 patients with untreated prostate cancer to 58 patients who underwent radical prostatectomy, the 10 year disease-specific survival was 86.8% and 87.9% respectively." - Patrick Quillin, PhD,RD,CNS, Beating Cancer with Nutrition (Get the book.)

"We see this data corroborated in world data for breast and prostate cancer rates in China, Japan, England, Scotland, and Canada (by the International Agency for Research), and in the U.S. (by the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute). Figure 15 illustrates that the lowest rates of breast and prostate cancer are consistently in China and Japan, where dairy and animal meat are rarely consumed." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Although standard medical texts (and insurance companies) do not endorse using PSA as a screen for prostate cancer, it is well known that patients with prostate cancer often have elevated levels of PSA. So when the pilot's PSA rose from normal levels of 1.1 and 1.6 in prior years to 3.9, he became concerned. His doctor told him not to worry since the levels still were within normal limits, but the pilot said he wanted his prostate gland biopsied. This was done, and a tiny area of malignancy was found." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Colin Campbell, and credited the fact that Easterners do not eat dairy products for their low rates of breast and prostate cancer. Pick up an Asian recipe book at the store—you'll find no mention of dairy products. PUS CELLS One cubic centimeter (cc) of commercial cow's milk is allowed to have up to 750,000 somatic cells (common name, "pus") and 20,000 live bacteria before it is kept off the market. That amounts to a whopping 20 million live, squiggly bacteria and up to 750 million pus cells per liter." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Many researchers believe that it can have a powerful effect upon preventing a variety of the most common cancers, including breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer, and a number of doctors are even prescribing relatively high dosages of it as an adjunctive therapy in cancer treatment. Vitamin D also appears to have the ability to not only increase immune activity, but to modulate it, and keep it within a proper range of activity. This helps to avoid autoimmune assaults upon the body, and also helps to avoid inappropriate immune reactions, such as those involved in allergy." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)

"In men, this includes a careful assessment of prostate cancer risk, and in women, a detailed risk/benefit evaluation with careful attention to hormone-responsive cancers of the breast and endometrium. It is essential that you work closely with a qualified, experienced doctor well versed in hormone replacement/restoration to maximize effectiveness and minimize risk. All aging men should take the time to have their free and total testosterone, estradiol (a type of estrogen), and dihydrotestosterone (DHT; a testosterone derivative) levels checked." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.) "Evidence suggests that an imbalance of this type may increase the level of inflammation in the body and increase the risk of heart disease, arthritis, and certain types of cancer, including prostate cancer. For millions of years, humans evolved on a diet rich in natural omega-3 food sources, including free-range game, fish, marine mammals, nuts, and fresh seaweed. In the early twentieth century, however, food manufacturers in the industrialized nations began literally pouring corn oil—a source of omega-6 fatty acids—into the food chain." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Furthermore, a metaanalysis of six cohort and 27 case-control studies found no overall association between alcohol consumption and prostate cancer risk [107]. Some general mechanisms by which alcohol might enhance carcinogenesis have been proposed, including the activation of environmental nitro-samines, production of carcinogenic metabolites (acetalde-hyde), immune suppression, and secondary nutritional deficiencies [94, 99, 108]. 2. Nutrients and Other Food Constituents a. Energy." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Furthermore, a clinical trial that entailed daily supplementation with 1200mg of calcium for 4 years found no effect on prostate cancer risk [147]. A mechanism for an adverse effect of calcium on prostate carcinogenesis has been proposed, based on the observation that a high intake of calcium decreases the circulating levels of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [l,25(OH)2D], which may inhibit cell proliferation and promote differentiation in prostatic tissue [148, 149]. The role of vitamin D in prostatic carcinogenesis is discussed later. d. Zinc and Cadmium." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Eastern and Western countries, it isn't genetic. Migration studies show that when Chinese or Japanese people move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of incidence and mortality from breast and prostate cancer approach those of their host community.46 130 120 110 ?100 O ? 90 HI O 80 o o Q 70 O Z 60 jli E lA 50 uj 5 40 30 20 10 _fi Over the next couple of years, Plant and her husband Peter examined the results of the China-Cornell-Oxford Project of T." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Pfizer then spent millions of dollars hiring celebrities to promote its new pill, beginning with the aging Bob Dole, who admitted to having sexual problems after prostate cancer surgery. To expand the market to younger and healthier men, Pfizer later hired thirty-seven-year-old Rafael Palmeiro, the first baseman for the Texas Rangers. With the hiring of Palmeiro in 2002, the theme of the Viagra campaign became one about enhancing performance, whether on the baseball field or in bed. It had little to do with treating a medical condition." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Vitamin D suppresses tumor growth and promotes differentiation in colorectal cancer in much the same ways it does in breast and prostate cancer. Normal colon cells have higher vitamin D receptor concentrations than abnormal or cancerous colon cells. Skin Cancer Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in both men and women. Usually people lump all skin cancers together, but significant differences exist in frequency and prognosis for different skin cancers." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Figure 15 illustrates that the lowest rates of breast and prostate cancer are consistently in China and Japan, where dairy and animal meat are rarely consumed. As Jane Plant, PhD, remarks in The No Dairy Breast Cancer Prevention Program: The Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki have similar rates of breast cancer: and remember, both cities were attacked with nuclear weapons, so in addition to the usual pollution-related cancers, one would also expect to find some radiation-related cases." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"In the basement of the Children's Hospital Pavilion, the world's first hospital-based proton radiation treatment system treats about 160 patients five days a week (many for brain or prostate cancer) and provides research for NASA scientists. Down the hall is a wall covered with pictures of happy, healthy children. Through the pioneering work of Dr. Leonard Bailey, a few hundred of the United States' infant heart transplants have occurred at LLUMC." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Benign enlarged prostates have about half as many vitamin D receptors as normal prostates, and prostate cancer cells have a tenth as many vitamin D receptors. Apparently, abnormal prostates have less capacity to produce "on demand" activated vitamin D. Interestingly, in rodents, the concentration of vitamin D and testosterone receptors in different parts of the prostate is heavily influenced by the testosterone-vitamin D balance during preadolescent development." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) "The combination of vitamin D and vitamin A slows prostate cancer cell growth in the lab. Clinical research on activated vitamin D and vitamin D-like molecules in humans shows promise. We know that activated vitamin D alone often slows the growth of prostate tumors, and the different concentrations of vitamin D receptors on cancer cells versus normal prostate cells can help to separate cancer cells from normal cells by growth rates. This separation allows doctors to use conventional chemotherapy more effectively to kill cancer cells." - James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.)

"Carotid Artery Intima Media Thickness For many years, doctors have put ultrasound devices to good use in helping them diagnose real-time inside-the-body status ranging from fetal development to early prostate cancer. An ultrasound machine transmits sound pulses into the body through a probe. The waves travel into the tissues and encounter various structures and activity. The reflected echoes, captured on imaging screens, enable us to peer inside and witness ongoing activity. Cardiologists routinely use ultrasound." - Stephen Sinatra, M.D. and James C., M.D. Roberts, Reverse Heart Disease Now: Stop Deadly Cardiovascular Plaque Before It's Too Late (Get the book.)

"Eating a lot of tomatoes also seemed to have an effect on reducing prostate cancer for men. Drink plenty of water. The AHS suggests that men who drank 5 or 6 daily glasses of water had a substantial reduction in the risk of a fatal heart attack?0 to 70 percent—compared to those who drank considerably less. iscovering Costa Rica's Blue Zone Discovering Costa Rica's Blue Zone Tortillas and Beans, Hard Work, and Something in the Water?" - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Recent studies have shown a significant preventive effect against colorectal and oral cancer in women who drank green tea regularly; and a 48% reduction in risk of developing advanced prostate cancer in men who drank five or more cups a day (over 14 years). 47Japan's National Cancer Center subjected this mushroom to pharmacological testing; they found that it was actually a potent immune-system builder and cancer fighter. Scientists at Japan's University School of Medicine tested the mushrooms on mice. They discovered that it retarded tumor growth by 85 percent after 20 days." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"Age-adjusted incidence of breast cancer in industrialized countries has increased 1 to 2 percent per year for several decades, both before and after the introduction of mammography. ?Prostate cancer is up nearly 290 percent in the last fifty years. ?Thyroid cancer is up 258 percent. Cases of skin melanomas are up almost 700 percent in the last fifty years. ?Lung cancer is currently the most common cause of cancer death in women, with the death rate more than two times what it was twenty-five years ago." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Eating a lot of tomatoes also seemed to have an effect on reducing prostate cancer for men." "Colon cancer also," Fraser said. "We found that the Adventists who ate meat had a 65 percent increased risk of it compared to the vegetarian Adventists. And Adventists who ate more legumes like peas and beans had a 30 to 40 percent reduction in colon cancer." For pancreatic cancer there was again a small sample size, but researchers did see that those who ate fruits and legumes had a much lower risk.

"They suffer from diseases that kill Americans, but at much lower rates: a fifth the rate of cardiovascular disease, a fourth the rate of breast and prostate cancer, and a third the rate of dementia. The economic impact of cardiovascular disease on the U.S. health care system continues to grow as the population ages. The cost of heart disease and stroke in the United States has been estimated at $432 billion for 2007, including health care expenditures and lost productivity. Imagine how much America might save if we could bring our heart disease rates down to those of Okinawa." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Our results also suggest that ascorbic acid is a potent anticancet agent for prostate cancer cells." Further evidence for the power of a vitamin C-rich diet and vitamin C supplements comes from the Department of Preventive Medicine, University of Southern California, School of Medicine, Los Angeles. The study followed a population of 11,580 residents of a retirement community initially free from cancer from 1981 to 1989. During this period, a total of 1,335 incident cancer cases were diagnosed." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)
