 On top of that, I've also completed a new book on prostate cancer entitled, "How to Prevent and Reverse prostate cancer," which spells out the real solutions to this disease in plain English, without the medical jargon. You'll find that at the Truth Publishing website. |
| Many diseases automatically appear as a result of a deficiency in one or more nutrients, and osteoporosis, prostate cancer and breast cancer are all precipitated by a lack of vibrational nutrition, or natural sunlight. Even vitamin D is not the entire answer to this. Without a doubt there are influences of natural sunlight that go beyond the creation of vitamin D, and thus a discussion of vitamin D alone cannot account for the nutritional deficiency present in these diseases, nor the ability to treat and reverse those diseases through the consumption of nutritional supplements. |

 Clearly, environment, lifestyle, and diet played key roles in raising the risk of prostate cancer.13
It is likely that as they acclimatized themselves to life in their new country, the Japanese men began to consume more American-style meals. This dietary change would account for the rising rate of cases of prostate cancer. However, by retaining some of the traditional elements of their diets, the men preserved some of their enviably low risk of prostate cancer. |

 It has been shown to shrink prostate tumor size, lower the PSA (prostate specific antigen), and actually help prevent prostate cancer. Other research shows that boron can alleviate joint pain and preserve brain cognitive function. Exciting research by Zhang et al, shows that, in a study on the treatment of prostate cancer, those who took the highest amount of boron were 64 percent less likely to develop prostate cancer, compared to the men who took the least amount.30 They found that the greater amount of boron-rich foods consumed, the lower the risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer. |

 Epidemiologists, who specialize in unlocking the mystery of where, why, and in whom disease occurs, have found that the risk of prostate cancer for black men in America climbs from south to north. When it comes to prostate cancer in black men, the risk is considerably lower in sunny Florida. But as you move north, the rate of prostate cancer in black men climbs until it peaks in the often cloud-covered heights of the Northeast. There is a growing belief among some researchers that a lack of vitamin D may also be one of the reasons we get sick more often in the winter than in the summer months. |
| And there appear to be connections among sunlight, vitamin D, and prostate cancer in African Americans as well. There is growing evidence that vitamin D inhibits the growth of cancerous cells in the prostate and in other areas, including the colon, too. Epidemiologists, who specialize in unlocking the mystery of where, why, and in whom disease occurs, have found that the risk of prostate cancer for black men in America climbs from south to north. When it comes to prostate cancer in black men, the risk is considerably lower in sunny Florida. |

 There is no evidence," they conclude, "that screening for prostate cancer results in reduced mortality or morbidity."
There are, it seems to us, two implications for our book: (1) in an unknown proportion of cases, screening for prostate cancer leads, in and of itself, to drastic and debilitating treatment of a condition that may never become life threatening; and (2) there is no evidence that screening for prostate cancer results in any public health advantage.

 Studies that have been done in the United States and Europe show it can decrease risk of getting colon cancer and dying of colon cancer by 50%, prostate cancer by 50%, ovarian cancer and breast cancer by almost the same amount. The amount of not only money saved, but the amount of grief and pain and suffering that people go through with these serious chronic diseases, potentially could be avoided.
Adams: And are these all topics that you discuss in more detail in the UV advantage book?
Dr. Holick: That's correct. |

| Should you be diagnosed with prostate cancer or breast cancer, it's a great idea to also be checked out for symptoms of osteoporosis.
As usual, I strongly urge you to work with a naturopathic physician who can check your current levels of vitamin D and offer a health-enhancing strategy for getting more sunlight, enhancing your circulating levels of vitamin D and improving your health for the rest of your life. |
| In fact, virtually all the research on osteoporosis, prostate cancer or breast cancer fails to mention sunlight. It is a great disservice to public health for these so-called health experts and researchers to be ignorant of the role sunlight plays in human health.
Also, in this particular study and in the press release describing it, we see distorted language and twisted logic that's characteristic of conventional medicine. Here we see osteoporosis described as a disease that is caused by a hormone regulation problem affecting the rebuilding of bones. |
| That's why you don't see any discussion of sunlight when looking at issues about prostate cancer and osteoporosis.
Until conventional medicine grows up and starts to recognize the vibrational nature of the universe, and how the human body is more than a reductionist collection of its parts, medical researchers will remain mystified about the true causes of disease. They will continue to explain the causes of these diseases by describing the effects because they don't really know the true causes. Those causes don't fit the current model of scientific understanding. |
| Sensible exposure to ultraviolet radiation creates vitamin D in the body and prevents both prostate cancer and osteoporosis. Thus, when these two so-called diseases occur simultaneously in a patient, it is not likely mere coincidence. They are, in fact, strongly correlated.
In women, this appears as breast cancer and osteoporosis, or sometimes cervical cancer and osteoporosis. In advanced stages, it can even become osteomalacia, which is a serious deterioration of the bones. Yet, researchers and scientists still manage to miss the big picture. |

 Consumption of tomato products has been linked to decreased risk of prostate cancer. Men in the highest quintile for consumption of tomato products (10 or more servings a week) had about a 35% decrease in risk of prostate cancer compared to counterparts whose consumption put them in the lowest quintile (1.5 or fewer servings of tomato products a week) (Giovannucci et al. Journal of the National Cancer Institute 1995;87:1767). |

 Years after he shepherded the NAS committee to ban smoking, he was fighting for his life against metastatic prostate cancer. This was a man beloved and respected by hundreds of colleagues. We had a great party to salute him at Harvard in 1995. Toasted and roasted by admiring students and faculty, decked out with huge paper bow ties rendered specially for the occasion, Chalmers didn't look like a man with a few months to live. But the prostate cancer had spread to his bones, and he knew what he was up against. |

 It may also encourage hormone-related cancers such as prostate cancer and breast cancer. See Plastics chemical bisphenol A found to promote prostate cancer in animal studies.
8. Milk produced in the United States comes from cows injected with synthetic hormones that have been banned in every other advanced nation in the world. These hormones help explain why unusually young teenage girls develop breasts at such a young age, or why hormone-related cancers like prostate cancer are being discovered in unprecedented numbers. |

 Our experiments showed that TF3 inhibits rat liver microsomal 5-a-reductase activity and significantly reduced androgen-responsive LNCaP prostate cancer cell growth, suppressed expression of the AR, and lowered androgen-induced prostate-specific antigen secretion and fatty acid synthase protein level. Our result suggests that TF3 might be useful as a chemoprevention agent for prostate cancer through suppressing the function of androgen and its receptor (Lee et al., 2004). |

 Prostate cancer, for example, is just as sensitive to synthetic estrogen mimickers in foods and food packaging as breast cancer, and preventing prostate cancer is as straightforward as preventing breast cancer: Avoiding bisphenol-A in plastic packaging and water bottles, avoiding sodium nitrite in processed meat products, supplementing with zinc, green tea, lycopene, various isoflavones, etc.
Thanks to popular culture, the image of men eating healthy diets has been "sissified. |

 Also, absent from many of the early prostate cancer studies was the measurement and consideration of progesterone and estrogen levels.19 Dr. Lee successfully treated many prostate cancer patients who recovered and did not have to resort to the standard medical treatments of surgery and chemotherapy, by using diet, antioxidants, progesterone, and testosterone.20 He also explains why the psa (Prostate Specific Antigen) count is not a reliable indicator of cancer because it is based on an erroneous understanding of the role of psa in the body. |

 This research in particular was about Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), but I expect to see a lot more research about prostate cancer especially. And this is the big message that men need to hear about prostate cancer. No one ever tells them this stuff. Their doctors don't tell them; the media doesn't tell them; even the national health organizations don't tell people this. The big message is that you can prevent prostate cancer by getting sunlight. This is not rocket science folks! |

 Thus, if people are drinking pomegranate juice to help prevent prostate cancer, doesn't it seem contradictory that the juice would be packaged in plastic containers believed to contribute to prostate cancer?
The real answer, in my educated opinion, is found in the heat factor. Plastic releases more chemicals when it is heated. As a result, cooking foods in plastic may be extremely hazardous to your health, but eating liquids stored in cold plastic may, in fact, only expose you to a tiny fraction of the same chemicals. |

However, by retaining some of the traditional elements of their diets, the men preserved some of their enviably low risk of prostate cancer. Despite their increased risk of cancer relative to men in Japan, they were still less likely to develop the disease than most American men are.
Could the Japanese just happen to have unusually cancer-resistant prostate glands? |

 We see this data corroborated in world data for breast and prostate cancer rates in China, Japan, England, Scotland, and Canada (by the International Agency for Research), and in the U.S. (by the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results Program of the National Cancer Institute). Figure 15 illustrates that the lowest rates of breast and prostate cancer are consistently in China and Japan, where dairy and animal meat are rarely consumed. |
| Migration studies show that when Chinese or Japanese people move to the West, within one or two generations their rates of incidence and mortality from breast and prostate cancer approach those of their host community.46

Over the next couple of years, Plant and her husband Peter examined the results of the China-Cornell-Oxford Project of T. Colin Campbell, and credited the fact that Easterners do not eat dairy products for their low rates of breast and prostate cancer. |

| In addition, I strongly suggest that men do their own research regarding prostate cancer treatment, if that has become necessary. An excellent booklet, containing condensed, very informative, and possibly life-saving information, was written by Dr. John R. Lee, and is entitled Hormone Balance for Men. Dr. Lee presents conclusions from documented studies showing that contrary to the prevailing conventional medical approach for treating prostate cancer, testosterone is not the culprit; estrogen is. |
