Avoid Getting Zapped to Avoid Cancer and Heart Disease
"Medical radiation is a necessary co-factor in about 75 percent of recent cases
of breast cancer in the United States."
Doctor John
William Gofman PhD ,
Note does this help explain why the RATE of breast cancer creeps ever higher as
we "test" more and more?
“Medical radiation
is a highly important cause (probably the principal cause) of cancer mortality
in the
United States
during the Twentieth Century. Medical radiation means, primarily, exposure by
xrays (including fluoroscopy and CT scans). Medical radiation, received even at
very low and moderate doses, is an important cause of death from Ischemic Heart
Disease; the probable mechanism is radiation-induction of mutations in the
coronary arteries, resulting in dysfunctional clones (mini-tumors) of smooth
muscle cells.” Radiation from

Note this means NO, NONE not at the doctors not
at the dentist not at the airport unless the risk/reward is shown to favor the
radiation. Make the doc give you the hard numbers. Make TSA strip and run around
the airport 10 times.
“According
to John Gofman, MD, PhD, there is strong
evidence that HALF of all cancer deaths, and 60 percent of the death rate from
ischemic heart disease are induced by ionizing radiation treatments. Dr. Gofman
is both a nuclear physicist and a medical doctor, and is one of the leading
experts in the world on this issue. He presents compelling evidence backing up
these assertions in his book
Radiation from Medical Procedures in the Pathogenesis of
Cancer and Ischemic Heart Diseasev.
For decades, x-rays and other classes of ionizing radiation have been a proven
cause of virtually all types of mutations, especially structural chromosomal
mutations. X-rays are also an established cause of genomic instability, often a
characteristic of the most
aggressive cancers.
It's tragic beyond belief, but many of our conventional medical tests and
treatments contribute to worsening disease states, including cancer; and
conventional cancer treatments are oftentimes just as deadly as the disease
itself.”

“A study of 47,781 men
found those consuming between 1,500 and 1,999 mg of calcium per day had about
double the risk of being diagnosed with metastatic (cancer that has spread to
other parts of the body) prostate cancer as those getting 500 mg per day or
less. And those taking in 2,000 mg or more calcium had over four times the risk
of developing metastatic prostate cancer as those taking in less than 500 mg.” Harvard School of Public Health 1998

“The evidence suggests that flaxseed (a) is a good, low-cost
source of select vitamins and minerals and fiber, (b) is well-accepted and safe
to use, and (c) warrants further testing as a preventive or complementary
therapy for prostate cancer.” Demark-Wahnefried et al, UTH
“Decades of studies and hundreds of
clinical studies have shown that extracts from Saw palmetto, Pygeum africanum,
and Stinging nettle have all demonstrated efficacy when used in the treatment
and prevention of benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Because of their
multiplicity of actions, it should be no surprise that when these botanicals
are combined, they are even more effective than when used individually. In
summary, roughly 90 percent of men who have mild to moderate BPH experience
some improvement in symptoms during the first four to six weeks of therapy. In
particular, saw palmetto has been shown to have very few, if any, side effects.
Since it does not interfere with measuring of PSA levels, saw palmetto won't
mask cancer during PSA tests. For those who like to alleviate symptoms of BPH,
botanicals should be seriously consider as a first
line natural alternative to drugs. For those who are keen to prevent the onset
of BPH, these botanicals acts as a prophylactic and can be considered for all
healthy men over 35 years old as part of a comprehensive anti-aging program.” Doctor Michael Lam MD
“Maintaining hormonal balance is a key factor in preventing cancer
and reversing hormone sensitive cancers. Cancers such as breast and
prostate cancer are closely linked to estrogen dominance syndrome.
Normalization of estrogen in our body can be achieved naturally with
phyto-estrogen from food such as cruciferous vegetables, and supplements such
as DIM. Natural progesterone cream that counterbalance the estrogen should
also be considered. Melatonin is a natural hormone and a strong-antioxidant.
Its use should be considered for many cancer patients, especially those with breast
cancer.” Doctor Michael Lam MD

"Increased intakes of vitamin K2, but
not K1, were associated with a 35% reduction in prostate cancer risk. The
potential benefits of K2 were more pronounced for advanced prostate cancer."
Cancer
Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention 18(1):49-56, 2009, Note IMO this
vastly understates the effect of K2 on prostate cancer; according to the
study the effect appears to be dose dependent; the more K2 the lower the
risk
"Selenium and vitamin E may offer protection
against prostate cancer by changing the expression (the conversion of a
gene's information) of certain genes in prostates linked to tumors.
Scientists report that exposure of biopsy samples from people with cancer to
vitamin E, selenium or both, expressed different genes, with the combined
exposure producing results similar to that observed in people with no
prostate cancer." Journal of the National
Cancer Institute

"In a recent study,
researchers partially blocked the bladder of test rabbits. That would be similar
to a swollen prostate. In these animals, their bladder response to various
stimuli decreased. However, when they treated the rabbits with CoQ10 and

"Iodine has anti-bacterial, anti-parasitic, anti-viral, and anti-cancer
properties. Without it, you are at risk for cancer of the breast, prostate,
ovaries, thyroid, and uterus."
Doctor Al Sears MD, Note to suffuse these organs with
iodine may require about 13 mg/day for many months
"Broccoli isothiocyanates promote hundreds of genetic
changes by switching off genes that promote prostate cancer growth and switching
on genes that fight cancer." British Research
"I have found supplemental doses of vitamin A are an
outstanding way to reverse cellular changes on surfaces. That includes skin
(outer) and intestines (inner). Now we see it helps interior cells as well
(prostate). The late Dr. William Donald Kelley used potent doses of vitamin A in
many of his cancer patients. Vitamin A is essential to maintain your surface
cells (epithelial tissues) as physical barriers to infection. It also is closely
involved in maintaining many types of immune system cells. In my experience,
adding folic acid drops, 5 mg three times daily to vitamin A, 100,000 IU daily
for three to six months has reversed many premalignant conditions. If you are at
risk of prostate cancer, take this information to your integrative physician and
have him supervise your vitamin A intake. It could save your life.”

"Those who were moderately active -- anything equivalent

"The British National Health Service first sounded the alarm two decades ago,
declaring that routine PSA screening was costly, did not help men live longer or
live better, and also subjected men to the risks of over-diagnosis and treatment
for false-positive test results. Stanford University followed suit in 1987,
calling PSA screening clinically useless. This year Harvard weighed in as well.
In his 2004 book
Should I Be Tested
for Cancer, Maybe Not and Here’s Why, Gilbert Welch, M.D.,

"In a study of 52 men with BPH and biopsies indicating no
prostate cancer, 27 were given the drug Proscar the other 25 were given a
placebo. After one year of the 27 receiving Proscar 30% were positive for
prostate tumors. Of the 25 men on the placebo 4% were positive for prostate
tumors. " British Journal of Cancer,
Note it is well known MANY prostate drugs seed prostate tumors
"In most cases you don't need
prostate surgery at all -- whether it's performed by a man or machine, through a
keyhole or by bashing open the whole door. Prostate cancer is an over-diagnosed
disease that won't kill most of the people who get it, but treating it comes
with the risk of conditions like incontinence and impotence. A new study,
published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, found that
patients who undergo the robo-surgery are more than twice as likely to
experience those side effects.”

"The natural ingredients in saw palmetto benefit the
prostate in many ways." Life Extension
"When combined with saw palmetto nettle root
extract displays even more impressive effects on BPH. One large study found that
the combination was as effective as the drug finasteride (Proscar) at reducing
symptom scores and increasing urine flow but produced far fewer adverse events."
Life Extension
"Recent studies have
revealed that flax seed lignan extract produces improvements in prostate health
scores and quality of life, while also lowering plasma cholesterol and glucose
concentration. Foods high in lignans are associated with lower prostate cancer
risk." Life Extension
"Carotenoids have demonstrated protective effects
against various prostate disorders." Life

"Boswellia acts in several ways to protect prostate
health. It combats prostate cancer and it's anti-inflammatory properties help
protect against BPH."
"The trace element boron combats prostate cancer
through a unique combination of underlying mechanisms. Several large human
studies have shown that higher dietary boron intake lowers prostate cancer risk.
In one study men with the highest boron intake halved their prostate cancer
risk." Life Extension
"Lycopene has been found in numerous studies to be
associated with decreased cancer risk. Lycopene interferes with cancer
cell signaling and disrupts DNA synthesis in growing prostate cell cultures but
also protects healthy DNA from damage." Life

“Ever since surgeons and hospitals
discovered they could make a quick buck by slicing and dicing prostates all day,
the "early diagnosis, early treatment" mantra has been repeated so often that
everyone just assumes it's true. They're even willing to overlook the side
effects such as incontinence and impotence, thinking it's a small price to pay
when you've just been "saved." Sorry, pal -- I feel for you, but you weren't
saved. You were had. Prostate cancer is one of the most over-treated conditions
out there. On its own, its often survivable with nothing at all.”
Doctor William Douglass MD
"Studies show bee pollen reduces DHT, the hormone
that starts to ramp up as you get older. Low levels of DHT are critical for a
healthy-sized prostate. Researchers in England gave it
to men who were going to the bathroom a little too often and had a hard time
peeing. After six months, 79% of them showed real improvement... and 36% felt
fully satisfied with the results. Bee pollen
also helps relax the smooth muscles lining your urinary tract. That means when
you have to pee, you can relax and let it rip.” Doctor
Al Sears MD
Women need to pay
attention too
"There is a particularly close
relationship between breast and prostate cancers. The treatment that works for
one frequently works for the other."
Doctor Steven Strum MD Oncology
Lest you women think you can
skip this subject let me please say one thing. I have long noted that much of
what is healthful for a man’s prostate often is healthful for a woman’s
breasts. Conversely much of what is good for a man’s prostate often is good for
a woman’s breasts. If I were a woman I would employ most of these prostate stratagems for
my breasts. Men get one percent of the breast cancer in this
country.
Needless Pain, Misery and Death

“98% of the time an elevated
PSA is related only to the size of the prostate. You may as well biopsy a man
because he has blue eyes. ... I removed a few hundred prostates I wish I had

Doctor Thomas Stanley co-developer of the
PSA test, Note now he tells us the PSA test is worthless
Pathologists found that the protein
Hsp-27 is associated with prostate cancer growth. Put differently, if the
protein is absent, the disease will hardly progress. And, in over 60% of
prostate cancer patients, the protein just isn't present. These patients will do
better just watching their tumors and treating them naturally. It seems that
this protein indicates that the cancer cells are less likely to commit
self-destruction. Again and again the medical research belies the conventional
paradigm of cutting out your prostate tumor. Think of all the millions of men
whose lives have been forever disrupted by prostate cancer surgery. Left with
incontinence, impotence, or worse, most go on to die of another disease anyway.
Here, at least, is a marker that can tell you if you're one of the majority of
patients whose cancer will not be aggressive.”
Doctor Robert Rowen MD
"Nearly 98 percent of men who get

Each year in the US 400,000 men
have their prostates CUT into or cut OUT, ouch. Much of this is at least near
criminal IMO, some more than others. IMO you don’t want to mess with your
testosterone (See Testosterone Protocol), which provides all the fun in the
bedroom and a heck of a lot more. You don’t want to mess with your prostate,
especially with a knife. You certainly don’t want to take a powerful toxic drug
that is unneeded and harmful. Try to
keep knives away from children and prostate surgeons (Joke only just barely).
If God wanted your prostate cut into he/she would have put it somewhere other
than where we sit on.
Forget the PSA et al
"The report adds that PSA testing
is 'associated with harms related to subsequent evaluation and treatments.' ...
The problem is that many of the cancers that get detected are so small and
slow-growing, they'll never be harmful, and doctors have a difficult time
discerning the quick, harmful cancers from the slow, harmless ones."

"The most commonly used screening
tool for detecting prostate cancer – the PSA test – is virtually worthless for
predicting men's risk of contracting the disease, medical school researchers
have determined. Stanford scientists studied prostate tissues collected in the

They concluded that as a screen, the
test indicates nothing more than the
size of the prostate gland."

“Today, many experts agree that PSA testing is
unreliable at best and useless at worst for accurately diagnosing prostate
cancer. Many also agree that routine
PSA blood tests often
lead to
over-diagnosis of prostate cancer, resulting in
unnecessary treatments. Similar to mammograms,
the PSA screen has become little more than an up-sell technique. The false
positive rate is high, and the bulk of the harm is a result of subsequent
unnecessary treatments.” Doctor
Joseph Mercola MD, Note the rate of serious infection from all the needless
"testing" is also great
"The real impact and tragedy of prostate cancer
screening is the doubling of the lifetime risk of a diagnosis of prostate cancer
with little if any decrease in the risk of dying from this disease."
Doctors Boyle and Brawley of the International Prevention
Research Institute, Note this puts you in a world of literal and financial hurt
with NO benefit
"Doctors all over the world are increasingly
concerned about post-biopsy infections. At last week's annual meeting of the
American Urological Association, there were 10 reports on the phenomenon ... The
underlying problem, many say, is the spread of antibiotic-resistant microbes."
"Perhaps most concerning, the PSA test frequently
identifies something that qualifies as cancer under a microscope but acts
nothing like cancer in real life. That is to say, the large majority of
PSA-discovered "cancers" would never cause any problem whatsoever if they went
undetected. Finding something through screening invariably leads to treating it
through conventional means which cause cancer themselves."
PreventDisease.com
"When it comes to prostate cancer, a 20-year study from Sweden suggests that screening for
prostate cancer does not reduce the risk of death from the disease. In fact,
many men receive false-positive results and overtreatment, adding an element of
risk to wide scale screening, researchers report in the March 31 online issue of
the BMJ.
"In the light of our findings, I would say that the benefit from screening is
not sufficient to support mass screening,"
Doctor Gabriel Sandblom Karolinska Institute in Stockholm
Many medical professionals are
saying a PSA prostate test is a waste of time or worse. I agree; take positive
steps to protect and heal your prostate and stay off the PSA test/drug/cut
route. If you but examine the quotes above you can see the con job that is going
on in your prostate doctors office.
Please spend a little time
examining this rather simple health issue. There is so much YOU can do for
yourself and your prostate. You do not need exams or drugs to take care of your
prostate. You simply need to READ, live and eat right.
