Prostate Care
Changing Your Diet
It always makes sense to ensure that you have a healthy diet. There is some evidence to suggest that dietary factors, such as a low intake of animal fat as in meat and dairy products, a high intake of some plant foods such as soy protein, legumes and a high intake of tomato-based products, may protect against the development of prostate cancer. There are trials underway to test this. It is known that a diet like this is also helpful for the heart and circulation, and so there may be many benefits from increasing your intake of vegetables, nuts and beans and reducing your animal fat intake.
Eating plenty of fruit and vegetables will also increase your intake of the so called antioxidant vitamins A, C and E. In addition, there is some evidence that the vitamin D and selenium can help prevent cancer. While it makes sense to improve your diet generally, it is important to remember that some of these nutrients can actually harm you if taken in large quantities such as in mega-dose vitamin pills. It is important to talk to your pharmacist or doctor if you want to supplement your diet in this way.
Natural Products (Including Medicinal Plants and Herbal Remedies)
Natural products such as medicinal plants and mixtures of herbs have been used by traditional healers for thousands of years, and some of them contain powerful chemicals. However, many have not been tested for effectiveness and safety using conventional Western scientific methods.
An example of a natural product which was thought recently to be a possible treatment for cancer, is "Prostate Complete 3000" which is very popular among prostate conscious males and contains a standardized pumpkin seed and pure strain palmetto extract extract called Cucurbita/Serenoa Repens, which studies indicate helps to maintain healthy prostate function, even when taken by itself. Our newest ingredient,"African Bark" , is the most active constituent of pygeum and has shown effects of interfering with the formation of prostaglandins that cause swelling in the prostate.
An example of a medicinal plant used for benign prostate problems where we have better evidence for its effectiveness is saw palmetto. Saw palmetto is now regularly used in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The plant was reported to be used by Indians in the southern US to treat testicle and prostate problems as early as the 1700s. Saw palmetto (also called Serenoa repens) comes from a palm tree whose berries contain substances which are active against male hormones. In men with urinary symptoms due to an enlarged prostate (see Table 1), the substance has improved both the symptoms and the urine flow in a number of studies (13). Side-effects were mild, and symptoms were improved by about 25 per cent. This effect is comparable to some prescription drugs.
There are many herbal remedies. Some have been used as traditional remedies for centuries while others are promoted without any evidence or tradition to support their use and effectiveness. Always discuss use of these types of natural products with your doctor and with your pharmacist. Some reading resources on this topic are provided at the end of this book.
Relaxation and Meditation
Looking after your emotional well being may be as important as ensuring you look after your body. Techniques for doing this, include meditation, relaxation and visualisation. However, some may suggest that regular exercise, fishing and other enjoyable past times can be as effective. Addressing issues that concern or worry you may also be an important part of reducing stress. Making contact with others through prostate cancer self-help groups may also be useful.
"Prostate Complete 3000" contains the most scientifically substantiated plant extracts to alleviate prostate discomfort, plus lycopene and boron to help protect the prostate and maintain its healthy function.
"Prostate Complete 3000" contains a standardized pumpkin seed and pure strain palmetto extract extract called Cucurbita/Serenoa Repens, which studies indicate helps to maintain healthy prostate function, even when taken by itself. Our newest ingredient,"African Bark" , is the most active constituent of pygeum and has shown effects of interfering with the formation of prostaglandins that cause swelling in the prostate.
Saw palmetto extract is of course included because of its favorable effects in helping to maintain healthy prostate function. Saw palmetto also acts as an alpha-adrenergic receptor inhibitor, reducing urinary urgency and inflammatory actions in the prostate gland.
Our root extract (Prunus Africanum) helps maintain a healthy balance of desirable prostaglandins. Pygeum root also has an effect on the proteins that carry sex hormones, and balances hormone levels that affect prostate function.
Pygeum enhances healthy prostaglandin function, which helps keep the prostate gland healthy and alleviates prostate discomfort.
