Diet, Lifestyle and the Risk of Prostate Cancer

2010-04-21T20:14:00.002-04:00

Prostate cancer has become a major public health problem worldwide. Yet, the etiology of prostate cancer remains largely unknown. Dietary factors, dietary supplements, and physical activity might be important in the prevention of the disease.

In the majority of studies, it was observed that high consumption of meat and dairy products has been linked to a greater risk of prostate cancer. In contrast, frequent consumption of fatty fish and tomato products has been associated with a reduced risk. It has been shown consistently that high levels of circulating insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) are associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer. Dietary factors are also recognized as determinants of circulating IGF-1; thus, changes in diet may influence IGF-1 concentrations in serum. Furthermore, increased intake of vitamin E and selenium (from supplements) has been shown in intervention studies to decrease the risk. Read more. . . .

Vitamin C and Cancer

The article below is from the current newsletter of OCCAM, our NIH center for CAM therapy.

This is sad that they combine C with chemo and the tumor grows much larger, so it means that vitamin C protected against the DNA damage the chemo normally induces. That does not mean that Pauling was wrong. He saw this as a mono-therapy, i.e. used all by itself without chemo would extend the average cancer patients life considerably.

Finally, this document admits that the Mayo Clinic study to destroy Pauling’s Vitamin C research on cancer purposely refused to even try to copy his protocol!! The truth finally begins to leak out!

With the recent Larry King's interview of Farah Fawcett, many people will begin to think more realistically about doing chemo without even seriously looking at all the alternatives. . . . .

Balance Your Hormones to Stay Younger for Longer

2010-04-18T22:30:00.002-04:00

Specific hormones' role in longevity and healthy aging is a hot topic at the moment.

In fact, it formed the basis of key discussions at the recent International Congress of Neuroendocrinology in Pittsburgh and the Paris Anti-Obesity Therapies Congress.

According to the latest theories, the following hormones may be the key to healthy aging:

1. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone):

This hormone, produced by the adrenal glands, is the most abundant hormone in the body.

Its anti-aging effects include: protection against dementia and Alzheimer's, heart disease, breast and ovarian cancer, and osteoporosis (the higher the DHEA levels in the body, the higher the bone density).

2. Melatonin:

This hormone is produced by the pineal gland, which is situated in the brain.

The hormone's anti-aging effects are tied to the fact that it helps one to sleep. Sleep, in turn, leads to the production of the major anti-aging hormone, HGH (human growth hormone).. . .
