Prostate Cancer.
Thermal Therapy & Other
Options.
Whilst
researching, we discovered an interesting
medical article stating that apparently only
about 25% of men with prostate cancer opt for
invasive procedures or radiation, whilst others
prefer to try hormone therapy, and other
options. Let's take a look ...
Turn up
the heat!
In May 2000 a German researcher reported that an
experimental technique was used on 440 patients
using "a probe inserted into the rectum so
cancer cells in the nearby prostate gland may be
heated and killed with ultrasound".
The report goes on to say "A recent study showed
nearly 80% of the 440 men treated had a
cancer-free follow-up test, or biopsy. Nearly
all had a clear biopsy after a second treatment
of high intensity focused ultrasound, or HIFU."

What is so interesting is that whilst the
protocol itself is rather crude, the heating
protocol was successful, which is not surprising
as it is scientifically proven that heating
up cancer cells weakens them.
Evidence of this is supported by numerous global
resources and medical research including
PubMed.com and The National Cancer Institute
(NCI) - the U.S. government’s principal agency
for cancer research.
The NCI Fact Sheet states:
"Hyperthermia
- also called thermal therapy or thermotherapy -
is a form of heat therapy in which body tissue
is exposed to high temperatures (up to 113°F).
Research has shown that high temperatures can
damage and kill cancer cells, usually with
minimal injury to normal tissues
1) By killing cancer cells and damaging proteins
and structures within cells.
2) Hyperthermia may shrink tumors."
The entire NCI fact sheet on hyperthermia may be
read at www.cancer.gov.
Consult with your health practitioner for
guidance regarding thermal therapy if
considering this option.
FYI: Thermal Therapy - also
called Hyperthermia - is an ancient form of
healing more commonly recognized as heat
therapy, which is safely and comfortably,
generated by Far Infrared heat (FIR).
FIR works best
when positioned close to the body, the heat
penetrating 2 1/2" or so, working from the
inside out of the cells, to combat and terminate
cancer. Thermal oncology is an established
therapy outside the USA.
Men Only
- Options:
1) What is PSA?
The prostate gland produces a substance called
PSA (prostate specific antigen). A small
amount of PSA can be found in blood, but it is
mostly found in semen.
PSA is measured by nanograms per millimeter of
blood. Most men have under 4 nanograms.
Anything above 4 may indicate a problem. High
PSA numbers indicate cancer and must be
brought down.
2) Phone
radiation.
Do NOT carry your cell phone in your pocket!
- EMF
radiation has proven to cause prostate
cancer and sterility.
3) Diet.
A disciplined anti-cancer
diet is very important - sugar must
be eliminated. The focus
is on alkaline food foods and beverages.
4) Zinc deficiency.
The
prostate gland becomes swollen when
it is lacking zinc which it MUST
have to function properly. Cucumber
and cantaloupe are two food options
for zinc - do the research, eat
properly, and avoid having a doctor
probe you!
5) Dairy products should be
avoided.
There is now plenty of scientific evidence
that excessive calcium intake increases the
chance of metastatic prostate cancer.
In 1998, Harvard
researchers published a study of dairy
product intake among 526 men diagnosed with
prostate cancer and 536 similar men not
diagnosed with the disease.
The study found a 50% increase in prostate
cancer risk and a near doubling of risk of
metastatic prostate cancer among men
consuming high amounts of dairy products,
likely due, say the researchers, to the high
total amount of calcium in such a diet.
A Harvard study on the topic, published in
October 2001, looked at dairy product intake
among 20,885 men and found men consuming the
most dairy products had about 32% higher
risk of developing prostate cancer than
those consuming the least.
6) Habanero
chili peppers.
Believed to program cancer cells to commit
suicide (apoptosis), the challenge is they
are VERY hot!
"Scorched Mouth,
Healthy Prostate."
- March 16th 2007 - The
Washington Times.
"Gentlemen, eat your chili
peppers. Habanero, jalapeno Scotch bonnet -
those hot but tasty varieties of the capsicum
frutescens have multiple health benefits -
including the ability to drive prostate cancer
cells to kill themselves, researchers
announced yesterday.
According to a team from the
University of California at Los Angeles and
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the hot stuff
in peppers - capsaicin - caused 80% of
active prostate cancer cells growing in mice
to "follow the molecular pathways leading to
apoptosis," or cell death.
The cancer cells literally committed
suicide. What's more, the cancer
tumors of the mice treated with a hot pepper
extract were one-fifth the size of untreated
mice.
"Capsaicin had a profound anti-proliferative
effect on human prostate cancer cells in
culture," said Dr. Soren Lehmann. "It also
dramatically slowed the development of
prostate tumors formed by those human cell
lines grown in mouse models."
What
does this mean in the kitchen?
Tex-Mex or curry fans are in luck: the
hotter the pepper, the more the benefit.
According to Dr. Lehmann, the mice were fed
a dose of pepper extract equivalent to what
a normal man might consume - 400 milligrams
of extract three times a week. That amount
translates to three to eight fresh habanero
peppers.
Habanero chili
peppers encourage cancer cell suicide.
Medically speaking,
capsaicin inhibited the action of NF-kappa
Beta, a substance found in cells that causes
them to grow out of control. Capsaicin also
regulates certain proteins that effect the
growth of the cells.
"Increased concentrations of
capsaicin caused more prostate cancer cells
to freeze in a non-proliferative state,"
according to the study.
American men develop prostate
cancer more than any other type of
malignancy -- 232,000 new cases are
diagnosed in the United States annually;
30,000 men die of prostate cancer in the
United States each year.
Hot peppers have received
accolades from researchers in recent years for
their antioxidant, or cancer-fighting,
effects. Anti-inflammatory properties in
peppers have been tapped for treatment of
migraines, arthritis and muscle pain.
Hot peppers also have been found to suppress
appetites and clear a stuffy head; they can
aggravate existing heartburn but not cause it.
They are a good source of
vitamins A, C and E, folic acid and potassium.
Peppers are low in calories and sodium and
contain no carbohydrates. Their taste has
spawned numerous appreciation societies around
the world, not to mention global competitions
to determine the hottest variety on the
planet.
Still, the chili pepper came
under fire in a 2002 Yale University report
that established a link between the hot pods
and stomach cancer in Mexican workers who ate
from 9 to 25 jalapenos a day. The claim has
been disputed by other researchers who found
that rates of stomach cancer declined in the
United States -- though consumption of salsa,
chili and other hot foods actually had
increased".

7) Blueberry punch -
Australia.
The
blueberry drink that can shrink tumors
- Dec. 7th 2007, Daily Mail.
"Research shows a mixed fruit punch could
provide a devastating blow against prostate
cancer. The blueberry, red and white grape,
raspberry and elderberry cordial rapidly
slashes the size of prostate tumors.
It also includes a host of
other natural ingredients thought to boost
health, including green tea, olive leaves,
the herb tarragon and the spices turmeric
and ginger. It is thought the ingredients
act together to cut inflammation and block a
cancer gene.
In tests, Blueberry
Punch cut the size of tumors by a quarter
in two weeks. Trials are now planned to
see whether a daily glass or two of the
drink could treat the disease and even
prevent it developing in the first place.
Blueberries.
Prostate cancer is most
common cancer in British men, with nearly
35,000 new cases a year and more than 10,000
deaths.
Dr. Jas Singh, who conducted the research
on mice at Sydney University, said: "We have
undertaken efficacy studies on individual
components of Blueberry Punch in the same
laboratory setting and found these effective
in suppressing cell growth in culture. We
reasoned that synergistic or additive
effects are likely to be achieved when they
are combined."
The researchers looked at the effect of
Blueberry Punch on both cancer cell cultures
in the laboratory and genetically engineered
mice with human prostate tumors. After only
two weeks of having the syrupy solution
added to their drinking water, their tumors
had shrunk by 25 per cent, an American
Association for Cancer Research conference
heard.
Blueberry Punch is an
Australian product available for sale on
the internet - www.drred.com.au/new/
Greg Jardine, the drink's inventor, said
the results were comparable to drugs used to
treat prostate cancer. Successful human
trials would give the punch 'more
credibility within the medical and
scientific communities', he said, adding:
"We would like it to be considered in the
same league as a drug."
In Britain, the Prostate Cancer Charity,
said the drink had shown 'promising results'
but cautioned that the research was still at
an early stage. Debbie Clayton, the
charity's information manager, said: "The
researchers are planning a small study of
150 men with prostate cancer who will drink
three glasses of the juice every day.
The research was part-funded by Blueberry
Punch's Australian manufacturer, Dr Red
Nutraceuticals. However, the scientists said
they designed and conducted the experiments
independently."

NOTE: The ingredients of Blueberry
Punch have long been recognized as healing
medicinal plants - great product.
8) Flower pollen - Curcumin
(tumeric).
"Studies to support these
claims have been conducted throughout the
world for nearly 40 years, and the overall
success rate seen in patients with BPH
(benign prostatic hyperplasia), is about 70
percent". - Source: easyhealthoptions.com

9) Vitamin
D
Some medical studies have found that men
with high levels of Vitamin D
appear to have a lower chance of developing
advanced prostate cancer. Since Vitamin D is
radiated from the sun, get out your speedo
and go have some fun!
10) Pomegranate juice
and the prostate.
Prostate cancer can be slowed by
drinking pomegranate juice which decreases
PSA levels.

Habanero peppers, sunshine and
Far Infrared - what do they all have in
common? Heat. Far infrared thermal therapy
is a gentle heat that has a non-toxic,
non-invasive effect on the body,
maintaining, supporting and promoting
natural health, healing and wellness. It may
be used alongside orthodox oncology, with no
contraindications.
When maintaining health, It is important to
keep in mind that every persons body, diet,
environmental toxins, and emotional state
is uniquely different, and we all have very
individualized lifestyle and karma. Every
individual has different issues to examine
and release in order to heal, besides
applying natural healing tools.
