WALKING FOR CANCER RESEARCH.

This is my daughter Christina. She is walkling for breast cancer research. If you would like to help her please go to her site which is the link in the footer below.

IP6: INOSITOL HEXAPHOSPHATE.

One of the "treatments" I have been using for prostate cancer is IP6 available at natural supplement pharmacies. The book below published by Kensington Publishing (I got mine from Amazon) tells the IP6 story. The author is AbulKalam M. Shamsuddin. MD.,PhD.

WILL TO LIVE.

CHRONDOITIN MAY BE RISKY FOR PROSTATE CANCER.

The Study: Chondroitin Sulfate for Relief of Osteoarthritis Symptoms in Prostate Cancer Patients By Charles “Snuffy” Myers, MD (www.malecare.com)

The study suggests that taking the sufficient amount of chondroitin sulfate to protect the cartilage lining of your joints might also foster prostate cancer progression, as well as the growth of other malignancies. I recommend you avoid chondroitin sulfate until clinical trials can demonstrate its safety.
Alternatively, I recommend glucosamine, because there is no evidence that glucosamine fosters the progression of prostate cancer. Furthermore, a randomized controlled clinical trial shows that glucosamine preserves the thickness of joint cartilage, thus slowing the progression of osteoarthritis. In this trial, they used daily glucosamine sulfate doses of 1,500 mg over a three-year period.

NEW PROSTATE CANCER TREATMENT.

A new non-invasive form of treatment for prostate cancer was recently approved for treatment in Canada. Called Ablatherm HIFU, the treatment has been successfully used in Europe for many years. Based on sophisticated ultrasound technology, it has a substantially lower risk of side effects. A study published in the Journal of Urology in February, 2004 showed that five years after treatment 93 perecnt of patients had negative biopsies.

Prostate cancer is a common malignancy . One approach to control this malignancy is its prevention through the use of agents present in diet consumed by humans. Pomegranate from the tree Punica granatum possesses strong antioxidant and antiinflammatory properties. We recently showed that pomegranate fruit extract (PFE) possesses remarkable antitumor-promoting effects in mouse skin. These data from a study employing human prostate cells establish the involvement of the cyclin kinase inhibitor-cyclin-cdk network during the antiproliferative effects of PFE. Oral administration of PFE (0.1% and 0.2%, wt/vol) to athymic nude mice implanted with androgen-sensitive CWR22R1 cells resulted in a significant inhibition in tumor growth concomitant with a significant decrease in serum prostate-specific antigen levels. We suggest that pomegranate juice may have cancer-chemopreventive as well as cancer-chemotherapeutic effects against prostate cancer in humans.

STUDY QUESTIONS TWO TESTS FOR PROSTATE CANCER

EATING ORGANIC FOODS

OUR OWN HEALTH ANALYSIS

There are two critical questions to ask ourselves......the answers are probably a good diagnosis of our current overall health condition:

1. How do I feel right now?

2. What symptoms of poor health do I have now?

The first question may be the most important indicator of all !
