According to Ken Wood of the American Cancer Society, “Men living with prostate cancer have a risk of survival that is approximately double that of men without prostate cancer…whether or not they have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, the risk of survival is increased if they have access to treatment, information, and prevention resources.”
What Can Men Take TodayTo to Reduce Their Risk of Developing Prostate Cancer?
The following are recommendations made by the American Cancer Society:
It is estimated that 50 to 80 percent of all cases of prostate cancer are caused by a metabolic syndrome that includes a tumor cell (the tumor is the “prostate gland”) and a susceptible immune system. Men are more likely to develop this disorder than women. The disorder affects about 5 percent of men below age 50 and about 1 percent of men above age 50.
The offending precursor cell of prostate cancer is called prostate antiglobulin (PA).PA is a circulating tumor that develops in precursor cells in the prostate. These cells multiply, divide rapidly, and ultimately replace normal cells. The immune system attacks the stagnant or dead cells, which results in the formation of metastasis, which then causes an increase in the number of circulating tumors. The most common types of tumors in prostate cancer are cells called Adenocarcinomas, but any kind of tumor may be involved.
PA promotes cell maturation and stimulates several cellular enzymes involved in cell division and growth. Its role in growth and division is related to the characteristic movement of cells in different directions.
PA induces regulation of gene expression through the activation of sterol regulatory element (SRE) which stimulates various genes involved in DNA repair mechanisms.
How To Link the Use of garlic to Prostate Cancer:
In 1997, an Asian News Service, the seminar was presented on “Garlic – Anti-cancer Use of Traditional Medicine in Asia.” A person spoke on “The Use of ritual Herbs in Asia.” A spokesman suggested that garlic may be effective in the treatment of prostate cancer in men, and he posed the question, “Is it anti-cancer… and if it is, does it also have an estrogen effect?” He also asked, “Would adding a clove of garlic a day during menopause make any difference?” The following month, the Asian Journal of Cancer Prevention published the results of a random, controlled study that tested the antidepressant efficacy of garlic in treating prostate cancer. In this study, men with metastatic prostate cancer were given 90 grams of raw garlic powder daily for one month. Just before and after this period, the patients were given a common antidepressant, Prozac, and a placebo.
The results were impressive: After 1 month, the patients who had been taking the garlic supplement showed a significant improvement in their depression, fatigue, daily functioning as well as sleep quality. There was a decrease in fatigue, and both LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol) were increased. DHEA, a major adrenal hormone, increased urinary flow acidity, but there were no changes found in testosterone, cortisol, or hydro testes. Patients reported a general feeling of improvement, including a sense of relief.
Testosterone levels don’t return to normal for about three weeks after the supplement. What does this mean? primarily, it means that testosterone is now becoming available in the bloodstream. previous research by Russian scientists proved that the right amino acids, especially methionine, promote 5-HTP receptors, which stimulate 5-HT (reducing depression, improving sperm motility, increasing immunity) and serotonin levels while decreasing that of homocysteine, the compounds that cause heart attacks.
This is very important news. We should all take 5-HTP supplements to reduce depression and anxiety, increase immunity, reduce platelet aggregation, decrease the risk of prostate cancer (herniated), relieve arthritis symptoms, treat fibromyalgia, treat diabetes, lower cholesterol, treat the symptoms of IBS, and reduce the symptoms of ulcers.
