Prostate Cancer Therapy

This sourcebook has been created for patients who have decided to make education and Internet-based research an integral part of the treatment process. Although it gives information useful to doctors, caregivers and other health professionals, it also tells patients where and how to look for information covering virtually all topics related to prostate cancer, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. The title of this book includes the word official. This reflects the fact that the sourcebook draws from public, academic, government, and peer-reviewed research. Selected readings from various agencies are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date on prostate cancer. Following an introductory chapter, the sourcebook is organized into three parts. PART I: THE ESSENTIALS; Chapter 1. The Essentials on Prostate Cancer: Guidelines; Chapter 2. Seeking Guidance; Chapter 3. Clinical Trials and Prostate Cancer; PART II: ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND ADVANCED MATERIAL;

each vegetable capsule contains:beta-sitosterol 68 mg. (from 150 mg of a phytosterol complex)vitamin C (as ascorbyl palmitate) 20 mg. (hypo-allergenic plant fiber added to complete capsule volume requirement)1?2 capsules per day, in divided doses, with meals.Supports prostate health*Beta-sitosterol naturally occurs as part of a phytosterol complex and has demonstrated the potential to support prostate health. In a 6-month randomized, double-blind, placebo- controlled, multicenter study with 200 male subjects, it was proposed that a mixed phytosterol complex providing beta-sitosterol supported healthy urinary flow. In an 18- month follow-up trial, beta-sitosterol maintained healthy urinary function. These results have been supported in other clinical trials as well.Beta-sitosterol, derived from a soy-based phytosterol complex, may provide important support for prostate health.REFERENCE: Awad AB, Fink CS, Williams H, Kim U.

Lycopene 20mg 60 caps, PureLycopeneProstate, cellular and macular support carotenoid*Pure Encapsulations Lycopene provides a natural tomato extract rich in lycopene, various carotenoids, vitamin E, and other important phytochemicals. In one study involving 30 male subjects, supplementation with lycopene promoted healthy prostate function. This was one of the first randomized, prospective clinical trials to show that a lycopene supplement, rather than dietary tomato consumption, supported prostate health. Research compiled in a multi-center study involving ten European countries revealed that the antioxidant properties of dietary lycopene supported cardiovascular health. Fifty- seven epidemiological studies indicate that lycopene from tomato consumption or tomato-based products may help digestive, lung, stomach, cervical and breast cell health. Lycopene has also demonstrated potential for promoting retinal and macular health.Pure Encapsulations Lycopene provides optimal antioxidant and cellular health support.REFERENCE: Kucuk, O et al. Lycopene supplementation in men with prostate cancer (PCa) reduces grade and volume of preneoplacia (PIN) and tumor, decreases serum PSA and modulates biomarkers of growth and differentiation.

Moducare is a patented, unique blend of sterols and sterolins involving a highly specialized proprietary process. These special nutrients were discovered by RW Liebenberg, when his relative Oom Koos was dying from prostate cancer. A neighbor offered Koos a traditional brew, known for its healing properties, in order to help him recover. Day by day he grew stronger and eventually recovered from his cancer. This experience began a lifetime of work for RW. He knew he had to find the active ingredient in the brew that resulted in his uncle’s miraculous recovery. RW was not a scientist, but he studied chemistry, plants, human physiology and everything he could find on cancer treatments using plants. He enlisted the help of researchers and discovered that the active ingredients were plant fats called sterols and sterolins. It was found that sterols and sterolins occur naturally in fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts. Sterolin is a sterol molecule that has attached itself to a glucose molecule. Sterolins are easily destroyed through processing, freezing and some cooking methods, and without it, the sterol does not have the same immune-enhancing benefits. Liebenberg went on to fund clinical studies at a major university in Cape Town, South Africa under the direction of Professor Patrick Bouic. For over 15 years Professor Bouic has been the leading expert in sterols and sterolins. Moducare is created from his research. After more than a decade of clinical research and double-blind studies, Moducare has proved to be effective at treating prostate problems, HIV, autoimmune disorders and more. The HIV trial showed that over the five year term of the study, T-cell counts remained stable. Moducare became available for sale in South Africa in 1997. Testimonials poured in from people recovering from debilitating illnesses like rheumatoid arthritis. Soon RW decided that sterols and sterolins should be made available in other countries. The product sold in North America is called

BioDIM helps activate pathways that encourage weight loss and hormonal balance, and provides many other benefits for healthy aging. BioDIM is a patented form of diindolylmethane (DIM), an antioxidant and phytonutrient found in cruciferous vegetables. BioDIM helps guide estrogen metabolism to produce healthy and protective 2-hydroxy estrogens, and also minimizes the activity of pro-inflammatory enzymes. BioDIM has demonstrated benefits for breast, cervical and menstrual health. BioDIMs contribution to prostate health is currently the subject of two clinical trials supported by the National Cancer Institute. BioDIMs patented microencapsulation process provides significantly greater absorption when compared to ordinary DIM. Recommended Dosage: 75 mg to 300 mg per day with meals.*
