Prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women are
both associated with iodine deficiency.
Problems with the prostate are associated with improper
toilet design. The two thirds of humanity who use
squat toilets have vastly fewer prostate problems. PSA is a glycoprotein that is secreted by normal prostate glands. Its blood levels will increase if the gland enlarges, even if due to a non-cancerous condition.
- Dr. David Williams PSA no longer has a relationship to prostate cancer.
- Dr. Thomas Stamey The PSA blood test that is used to screen for prostate cancer is really a test for prostate infection. -
Urologia Internationalis 57: 3 (1996): 170-174 90% of prostate infections are from coliform bacteria. Microorganisms enter the urethra at the tip of the penis and spread to the prostate and bladder. Prostate infections can also be from staphylococcus, chlamydia, gonorrhea, vaginal yeast and tuberculosis. Poor hygiene and multiple sexual partners are risk factors. Anal intercourse virtually guarantees infection. TB reaches the prostate via the bloodstream or lymph. The catheter used following prostate surgery is also a common source of prostate infection. To learn what you can do to strengthen your immune system and get rid of infectious disease, see our Fresh Juices page. The American College of Physicians concludes there is no evidence that patients benefit from routine screening for prostate cancer and recommends against regular testing for all men. -
Annals of Internal Medicine, March, 1997 PSA tests lead to unnecessary biopsies, and biopsies frequently cause infection. No conventional therapy has shown any value for prostate cancer over doing nothing...If you have prostate cancer, please don't submit to surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation. There's no evidence these will extend your life, but they will severely diminish your quality of life. - Dr. Robert Jay Rowen
Autopsies reveal that 80% of men over the age of 80 have prostate cancer. Yet most men die with prostate cancer, not because of it. - Dr. Julian Whitaker Cycling 30 - 40 minutes daily can increase blood flow to organs in the pelvic area by 75%. Research indicates that sexual performance dramatically improves. The health of all organs in the pelvic area should be positively affected by improved circulation. Get yourself a stationary bicycle now! Consumption of 200 mcg of selenium daily can reduce prostate cancer by 60%. Consumption of omega-3 oils daily can reduce prostate cancer by 40%.
Resveratrol combined with propolis
kills prostate cancer cells. - Oncol Res 06;15(9):409-421.
Curcumin (found in curry powder) combined with phenethyl
isothiocyanate (PEITC) is effective for the prevention and treatment of
prostate cancer. - Cancer Res 06;66(2):613-621. PEITC is a compound
found in cruciferous vegetables: cabbage, cauliflower, bok choy, cress,
rutabaga, horseradish, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, kohlrabi, turnips,
and radishes. Cruciferous
vegetables also contain another compound called diindolymethane (DIM) that
regulates estrogen and may be useful in preventing and treating
estrogen-related cancer such as cervix, breast, uterus and prostate.
DIM naturally raises testosterone in
both men and women, increasing libido in both sexes as well as improving
energy levels and helping to normalize weight. The rate of testicular cancer has increased more than 50% in the last 20 years, occurring most commonly in white men between the ages of 30 and 35. -

Can you suggest anything to help? *** 1. Is it possible to destroy prostate cancer by overheating the prostate? European doctors are having good results treating the prostate with radio-wave hyperthermia. "Cancer tissue is more dense than normal tissue and radio waves are more readily absorbed by denser tissue, so the heat is concentrated in the tumor, killing it," Dr. William Campbell Douglass' Second Opinion, February 2001, page 2. Radio-wave hyperthermia has been approved by the FDA and is safer than microwave hyperthermia that burns both the tumor and nearby healthy tissue. However, given that cancer begins to metastasize very early, whole body hyperthermia offers the advantage of heating up cancer cells wherever they may be, whether we know they are there or not. This is why hyperthermia doubles as both a treatment for cancer and as a useful part of a healthy cancer-preventing lifestyle. Following the instructions from Dr. Paavo Airola on our Hyperthermia page, hop into the tub or sauna and enjoy! For more information do an Internet search for "hyperthermia", "whole body hyperthermia", "whole body hyperthermia and cancer", "far infrared sauna",
radio frequency ablation, etc. Back to List of Questions 2. How do I send oxygen to the prostate? How can you send oxygen to one tissue without sending it to all tissues? Why not focus on increasing the amount of oxygen in your body and let the body send it where it is needed? Given that cancer may already have metastasized to other parts of the body, increasing the level of oxygen throughout the body makes good sense. We give a number of suggestions how to increase the level of oxygen throughout the body on our Oxygen page. Also, oxygen and alkalinity go together. So focus on increasing both oxygen and alkalinity in the body at the same time. To improve the oxygen carrying capacity of the blood, Dr. Johanna Budwig's recommendations regarding flaxseed oil and cottage cheese are given on the Cancer Self-Treatment page. When your blood is rich in oxygen and your lymph is alkaline, it is necessary to move the lymph around. Yoga asanas give the internal organs a gentle massage, promoting circulation. Cycling dramatically increases circulation in the pelvic area. Also, rebounding is very effective to move lymph. When the tissues begin to flush their accumulation of toxins and waste, it is very helpful to be consuming Maharishi Amrit Kalash (MAK), because MAK helps the body deal with toxic materials while promoting good health. Cancer can be created in the test tube simply by reducing the level of oxygen available to healthy cells. Therefore, increasing the amount of oxygen in the body makes good sense from a cancer prevention point of view. Given that more oxygen improves athletic ability and mental alertness, all of these recommended measures belong in a healthy lifestyle. It is interesting that blood flow to the brain increases substantially during practice of Transcendental Meditation. "Frontal cerebral blood flow increased an average of 65% during the TM period (p<.005) and remained elevated afterward. Brief periods (20 - 30 seconds) of increases (100 - 200%) were noted. The large increases of cerebral blood flow in this hypometabolic behavior seem unique." (Jevning, Ron and A.F. Wilson, The Physiologist, vol.21, 1978, p.60). If one could increase the amount of oxygen in the blood, and then increase the blood supply to the brain, what would be the impact on brain cancer?
The Vietnamese herb called Crinum latifolium
is gaining a reputation for healing both prostate and ovarian diseases.

"Benign hypertrophy of the prostate" (BHP) occurs in many men past middle age. As the prostate enlarges it presses against the urethra, blocking it. As a result, the bladder is not able to fully empty itself resulting in a need for more frequent urination. If you find yourself getting up more frequently at night in order to urinate, then this is an early warning to do something for your prostate before the situation gets serious. Potential dangers includes kidney damage as urine backs up into the kidneys, and bladder infection. Natural aids for BHP include saw palmetto, phygeum africanum bark, pumpkin seeds (pumpkin seeds contain zinc), stinging nettle root (urtica dioica), lycopene, selenium, vitamin E, and the full 8 step program for preventing and reversing cancer. Lycopene is the natural red pigment in tomatoes. See the page on preventing prostate cancer with vitamin E and selenium in our Library. *** The prostate gland is sandwiched between the colon and the urinary bladder, leaving it vulnerable to infection from either source. Neglect of the colon is a good way to destroy your health. A healthy colon is a prerequisite to good health in the entire body, and it would be a wonderful idea for everyone to learn what is involved in creating and maintaining colon health. There are many good books available on the subject of colon health.
It would also be beneficial to learn about the benefits of
squatting. *** Ayurvedic Perspective While saw palmetto, phygeum and zinc can help BHP and reduce PSA counts, Ayurveda suggests the prostate is a complex organ and that the above treatment is too simplistic. From the perspective of Ayurveda, "the ayurvedic herbs Guggulu and Kachnar help balance the prostate; Indian Sarsaparilla and White Sandalwood help reduce burning and purify the genito-urinary tract; Heart-leaved Moonseed, Turmeric, and Licorice help strengthen the immune system," says Vaidya Mishra.
In addition, Shilajit, Bala, Punarnava and Zinc help maintain the balanced flow of testosterone, while Hajral Yahud Bhasma and Barley Ash, along with Punarnava, help maintain the urine's flow. Other herbs enhance bioavailabilty, making it easy for the body to absorb the entire formula.
"You can see that this formula is very balanced and supports the whole system, including the prostate itself," says Vaidya Mishra. "Using a single herb, such as saw palmetto, which targets the testosterone level, could create an imbalance from the ayurvedic perspective." "Quinoa and amaranth are high-protein grains that also have high zinc content, and thus both strengthen the prostate...Certain spices, such as cumin, improve absorption and assimilation, enhance digestion and eliminate impurities (ama)," says Vaidya Mishra. Fenugreek boosts fat and sugar metabolism, keeps the fat and blood tissues ama-free, and strengthens the immune system. Coriander is known for removing toxins from the body through the urine. It also keeps the urine free of ama, and thus helps prevent prostate infection. Turmeric is a well-known anti-inflammatory, helping to relieve pain and modulate the immune system. As the most effective antioxidant spice, turmeric has a cholesterol-lowering effect. And fennel helps balance hormonal levels.
Vegetables can also help. "Asparagus helps balance testosterone levels, and dikon radish helps purify the urine and improves flow," says Vaidya Mishra.
Anything that aggravates Vata dosha - too much stress, staying awake past 10:00 p.m., and rushing around during the day-should be avoided. Starting the day with an ayurvedic oil massage (abhyanga) is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to balance Vata dosha.
"Too much continuous sitting can also cause imbalances in the prostate, so plan to take a short walk every hour or so if your job is sedentary," advises Vaidya Mishra. It's also wise to keep the elimination balanced by drinking more water, eating more vegetables and adding fiber to the diet, such as psyllium seed husks. The Herbal Cleanse formula also helps keep the elimination system balanced. - Ayurveda information quoted from TOTAL HEALTH NEWS ONLINE a free email newsletter published by Maharishi Ayurveda November 1, 2000 Issue #00-07.

Back to List of Questions 3. Do herbs exist that will destroy cancer cells? Yes, there are hundreds and perhaps thousands of herbs that will destroy cancer cells. While working for the National Cancer Institute, Dr. Jonathan Hartwell examined 10% of the plants in the world for their anti-cancer properties and the results of his research were published in the book Plants Used Against Cancer. Unfortunately, Dr. Hartwell's work was discontinued by the NCI and his book is out of print, and so the vast treasure of medicinal herbs freely offered by nature remains untapped. It is our opinion that Dr. Hartwell's work was cancelled and his book removed from the market because inexpensive herbs offer genuine competition to expensive pharmaceuticals. However, cancer can be prevented and destroyed by other means and explaining them is the purpose of this web site. Also, it is important to understand that cancer is a metabolic disease and destroying the cancer cells with herbs and other means is not the whole answer. So long as the original cause of the cancer (lack of oxygen, concentration of toxic chemicals, etc.) remains in the system, the cancer can come back. A total approach to creating health must include purifying the body of toxic chemicals and improving the level of oxygen available throughout the body. Everything you eat, drink, breathe, the amount and quality of your physical exercise, the level of stress you experience (physical, mental, emotional), all contribute to whether or not you will have cancer. This is why we emphasize on the
Cancer Self-Treatment page that "Only the cancer victim himself can properly treat his own cancer". Dr. Christopher reportedly had good success treating with herbs many diseases that defeat modern medicine. He also wrote several books and founded a School of Natural Healing ( www.schoolofnaturalhealing.com ). A Safe Alternative to PC-SPES The popular prostate cancer remedy PC-SPES was found to be contaminated with several prescription drugs and has been removed from the market. HP8 is manufactured in Australia by InterHealth Biosciences Australia. Currently available in the U.S. through American BioSciences of Blauvelt, N.Y. and sold through The Harmony Co., 800-422-5518. Cost is about $89.95 per bottle of 90 tablets. Daily dose is 6 tablets in two doses of three tablets each. Best taken on an empty stomach. For more information see Dr. David Williams Alternatives newsletter June 2003. Those selling HP8 cannot make any claims or give any information regarding its use for treating prostate cancer. Legally it is being sold strictly as a supplement for prostate health. |
A Tasty Prescription for Prostate Health "Watermelon is an even better source of lycopene than tomatoes...One-and-a-half cups of watermelon contain between 9 and 13 mg of lycopene, which is 40-percent more than tomatoes, and the body easily absorbs it. Red, ripe, seedless watermelons had the highest lycopene content." - Dr. David Williams Alternatives newsletter July 2002. (Editor's
note: Eating avocado
is found to improve lycopene absorption from other foods.) |
"A man was diagnosed with prostate cancer. His tumor biopsy was examined by two different types of doctor: one a pathologist, the other a toxicologist. The pathologist saw only clear signs of cancer in the tissue sample, but the toxicologist found something more because she knew what to look for. She found abnormally high levels of a variety of carcinogenic chemicals including arsenic, DDT, DDE and chlordane. In other words, there was evidence of pesticides and other environmental toxins in the tumorous tissue sample itself. The patient was overloaded with toxins and his liver could no longer detoxify his body.
If you know the toxin, you can remove it. But first you have to be looking for toxins and, here, conventional medicine is inexcusably lax. Most conventional oncologists disregard toxicity as a factor in cancer. The pathologist missed the point entirely: he did not understand that in a tumor itself are some likely causes of the cancer. With this gap in understanding, he designed a treatment for the patient that could not possibly be effective, because it would fail to address the root causes." - www.alternativemedicine.com |
Rebuild Your Liver The liver is the principal organ in the body for detoxifying toxic chemicals. Charlotte Gerson claims that people do not get cancer until liver function has been reduced to about one third. The liver is damaged by free radicals. Sources of free radicals include alcohol, drugs, infections, and various toxic chemicals. Cleansing and rebuilding the liver should be a priority for people with cancer. Extract of milk thistle (Silybum marianum) seed is being used to repair damaged liver tissue. More than 200 clinical and laboratory studies have shown that the active constituent in milk thistle, silymarin, is one of the most potent liver-protecting substances known. Antioxidants are helpful. Replacing vegetable oils in the diet with coconut oil is also very helpful. You can also help the liver do its job by:
1. reduce exposure to toxic chemicals
2. periodically eliminate toxins from the body (see Hyperthermia)
3. take extra nutrients and supplements (such as MAK) that help combat toxins.
4. Do a liver and gallbladder cleanse or flush. Repeat the flush periodically until you are cleansed of liver and gallstones. (You
may see the stones in the toilet when they come out, because some of them float.)
5. Do a parasite cleanse. Search the Internet to learn how to do this. Toxic chemotherapy and toxic byproducts from radiation treatment could be the coup de grace for an already weakened liver. You should find milk thistle extract in your local health food store. If you have trouble digesting fats, you might also consider supplementing your diet with ox bile, at least until your liver has recovered. It is the liver that produces bile. The
medium chain fatty acids of coconut oil are less dependent on bile for digestion,
because the lingual lipase enzyme in saliva begins the digestion of short
and medium chain fatty acids in the mouth and continues this digestion in
the stomach, long before the digestion of long chain fatty acids begins in
the small intestine. *** From Dr. David Williams Alternatives newsletter, March 2002: Dr. Burt Berkson at the Integrative Center of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, recently published a report detailing a treatment program he used to successfully treat three patients destined for liver transplant surgery. All three patients were suffering from cirrhosis of the liver, portal hypertension, and esophageal varices (easily ruptured varicose veins in the esophagus) secondary to chronic hepatitis C infections. ...Each patient was given 600 milligrams of alpha lipoic acid, 400 micrograms of selenium, and 900 milligrams of silymarin (milk thistle extract) daily in three divided doses. He reports that all responded positively to the treatment within a short period of time and none required transplant surgery. (Med Klin 99;94Suppl3:84-9) ***

*** One person in 10 may be intolerant to gluten, resulting in destruction of the liver. Other common food sensitivities include dairy, eggs, peanuts and other nuts, shellfish, soy, and grains. For unexplained health problems you might try deleting these items from your diet for a while to see if it helps. "Anything with an ingredient list is automatically suspect...Therefore, I still stand by my old saying: If God did not make it, do not eat it. A permanent elemental diet of whole unprocessed foods not only makes it easier for you to guard against unwitting consumption of problem ingredients, but is healthier, without a doubt." - Dr. Robert Jay Rowen's Second Opinion, October 2002. *** Editor's note: If you are concerned with hepatitis, you may also be interested in the benefits to be derived from consuming high doses of vitamin C.

electro-medicine and eating coconut oil. |
