Dietary suggestions for watchful period in effort to lower PSA and potential for Cancer. For your review and consult with your health professional.

These Beverages/Foods/Herbs may Reduce the Risk of or Treat Prostatic Cancer

Cartilage

Bovine Cartilage (9 grams per day) is claimed to have caused regression or total remission of some cases of Prostate Cancer.
Shark Cartilage may be an effective treatment for Prostate Cancer (the use of Shark Cartilage for the treatment of Prostate Cancer has not yet been studied in clinical trials but it is known that Shark Cartilage inhibits the formation of new Blood Vessels (a process known as angiogenesis) that “feed” solid tumors - Prostate Cancer is regarded as a solid tumor):

- Caution: The use of Shark Cartilage for the treatment of Cancer is controversial. Some clearly unbiased natural medicine researchers have concluded that Shark Cartilage is ineffective for the treatment of Cancer and a recent clinical trial adds support to this counter-argument.

Grains

Rye bran may help to prevent Prostate Cancer and may inhibit the further growth of Prostate Cancer.

Herbs

Andrographis may help to prevent Prostate Cancer. Black Cohosh may be useful for the treatment of Prostate Cancer (Black Cohosh may stimulate the apoptosis (cell death) of Prostate Cancer cells). Chaste Berry may help to prevent and treat Prostate Cancer.

Golden Rod may inhibit the further growth of Prostate Cancer cells.
Graviola (leaf) may help to prevent and treat Prostate Cancer.
Greater Celandine (Ukrain derivative administered via injection) may stimulate the apoptosis (cell death) of Prostate Cancer cells.

Green Tea may help to prevent Prostate Cancer and may also help to reduce the size of existing Prostate Cancer tumors (due to the Epigallo-Catechin-Gallate (EGCG) content of Green Tea). Guggulipid may help to prevent and treat Prostate Cancer.

Hops may inhibit the proliferation of Prostate Cancer cells (due to the Xanthohumol content of Hops). Korean Ginseng may help to prevent Prostate Cancer. Mastic may help to prevent Prostate Cancer.

Milk Thistle may help to prevent and treat Prostate Cancer (due to the Silymarin content of Milk Thistle).
Nettle may help to prevent Prostate Cancer and may be an effective treatment for existing Prostate Cancer:

- Nettle may inhibit the transformation of the benign Cells involved in Enlarged Prostate to the malignant Cells involved in Prostate Cancer.
- Nettle may inhibit the binding of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) to Prostate cells.

Pau D’Arco may help to prevent and treat Prostate Cancer (due to the beta-Lapachol content of Pau D’Arco).
Pygeum may inhibit the excessive proliferation of Prostate cells that occurs during Prostate Cancer (it may inhibit Protein Kinase C, an enzyme that stimulates the proliferation of Prostate cells).

Red Clover may help to prevent Prostate Cancer and may stimulate the apoptosis of Prostate Cancer cells (due to the Isoflavonoids content of Red Clover).
Saw Palmetto may reduce the risk of Prostate Cancer (due to Phytosterols in Saw Palmetto inhibiting the conversion of Testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) within the Prostate). The Myristoleic Acid content of Saw Palmetto may also stimulates the Apoptosis and necrosis of Prostate Cancer cells.

Skullcap may help to prevent and treat Prostate Cancer.
Terminalia chebula may help to prevent/treat Prostate Cancer.

Herbal Formulas

Essiac may be useful for the treatment of Prostate Cancer.

Mushrooms

Hoelen may help to prevent and treat Prostate Cancer (due to the Pachymic Acid content of Hoelen).
Maitake Mushrooms may cause the regression of Prostate Cancer (due to the Maitake D-Fraction content of Maitake Mushrooms).
Oyster Mushroomss may stimulate the apoptosis (cell death) of Prostate Cancer cells.

Reishi Mushrooms may be useful for the treatment of Prostate Cancer.

Oils (dietary Oils)

Fish Oils may help to prevent Prostate Cancer (due to the Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) content of Fish Oils). Pumpkin Seed Oil may help to prevent Prostate Cancer. Shark Liver Oil may help to prevent/treat Prostate Cancer (due to the Alkylglycerols content of Shark Liver Oil).

Processed Foods

Tomato Sauce (and Tomato Paste) may help to prevent Prostate Cancer (due to its Lycopene content):

- Of all Tomato products, Tomato Sauce has the highest protective effects against Prostate Cancer.

Sea Vegetables

Kelp may help to prevent Prostate Cancer (due to the Fucoxanthin content of Kelp).

Seafood

High consumption of Oily Fish may help to prevent Prostate Cancer (due to the Superunsaturated Fatty Acids content of Oily Fish).

Seeds

Many types of Seeds contain enzymes that inhibit the development of Prostate Cancer. Cumin Seeds may help to prevent Prostate Cancer (by inhibiting the Beta-Glucuronidase enzyme). Flax Seeds (30 grams per day) may help to prevent and treat (regress) Prostate Cancer.

Grape Seeds (extract) may help to prevent Prostate Cancer.

Vegetables

Population studies show that people who consume the highest quantity of Vegetables (especially Cruciferous Vegetables) have the lowest risk for Prostate Cancer.

Beetroot may help to prevent and treat Prostate Cancer.
Cabbage Family Vegetables (Cruciferous Vegetables) (at least three servings per week) may reduce the risk of Prostate Cancer (by almost 50%) (this effect is likely to be due to the Indole-3-Carbinol content of Cruciferous Vegetables):

- Broccoli may help to prevent Prostate Cancer.
- Brussels Sprouts may help to prevent Prostate Cancer.
- Cabbage may help to prevent Prostate Cancer.
- Cauliflower may help to prevent Prostate Cancer.

Chives may help to prevent Prostate Cancer.
Garlic may help to prevent the further progression of Prostate Cancer (primarily due to the S-allylmercaptocysteine (SAMC) content of Garlic):

- Garlic may also inhibit the production of Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) which is implicated in the development of Prostate Cancer.
- Garlic may inhibit the activity of 5-Lipoxygenase, an enzyme which is involved in the stimulation of Prostate Cancer cell growth.
- Aged Garlic Extract may inhibit the proliferation of Prostate Cancer cells.

Leeks may help to prevent Prostate Cancer. Onion may help to prevent Prostate Cancer. Pumpkin may help to prevent Prostate Cancer (due to its high content of Carotenoids).

Spinach may help to prevent Prostate Cancer (due to the Carotenoids content of Spinach). Tomatoes may help to prevent Prostate Cancer (due to their high content of Lycopene). Watercress may facilitate the regression of Prostate Cancer and may help to prevent Prostate Cancer.

Other Factors that may Help to Prevent Prostate Cancer

Electromagnetic Radiation

Regular exposure to optimal amounts of Sunlight may help to prevent Prostate Cancer (probably due to the Ultraviolet Radiation content of Sunlight stimulating the production of Vitamin D).

Exercise

Regular Exercise may help to lower the risk of Prostate Cancer.
