Alternative Treatments For Prostate Cancer

Posted on July 26, 2008

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM)

Chinese men in China have the lowest incidence of prostate cancer. Perhaps they Chinese know something about prostate cancer that we don’t. According to TCM philosophy, tumor is a result of blocked, or stagnant chi (energy). Doctors also agree with this statement, stressing the benefits of regular ejaculation to promote fluid turnover in this region.

TCM approach involve detoxing the body using herbs, followed by boosting of the immune system.

Prostate Massage

Subscribing to the TCM philosophy of having flowing chi to maintain prostate health, massaging the prostate and its surrounding vicinity can promote increased blood flow and relaxing, softening and shrinking the prostate gland.

Essaic Tea

While essaic tea is a proven to shrink tumor, it is not new. Essaic tea has been used since the 1920s and it is powerful even in advanced stage cancer. Careful considerations should be practiced when storing and preparing essaic tea.

Keep away from sunlight but don’t freeze it. Preparation should not be done using plastic or aluminium holder.

Noni Juice

Noni plant extract, not limited to the fruit is not only known for its tumor suppressant properties, it works very fast. Patient that took significant amount of it (recommended dosage of 32g a day) experience an improvement as early as 10 days.

Select a non-sweetened version whenever possible that have a high chance of maintaining its medicinal properties and extract from other parts of the tree as well. The reason behind the noni juice miracle is it stimulate the body to produce nitric oxide that deliver oxygen to the cancer cell, killing them in the process.

Noni juice regulate blood circulation (prevent stagnant chi) and nitric oxide decreases cancer growth by boosting the immune defense against dramatic replication of cells. Pregnant women and people with liver complication should not take noni juice.

Amygdalin (Laetrile, Vitamin B17)

The researchers found that amygdalin caused a statistically significant increase in the ability of a patient’s white blood cells to adhere to his own prostate cancer cells, suggesting some immune system boosting potential for amygdalin.

Commercial amygdalin are usually harvested from the apricot kernels.

Shark Cartilage

Inhibitor of angiogenesis, shark cartilage is not a mainstream medicine.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 may be useful in treating cancer because it enhance the immune system. Also, studies conclude that CoQ10 analogs (drugs that are similar to CoQ10) may prevent the growth of cancer cells directly. As an antioxidant, coenzyme Q10 may help prevent cancer from developing.

Intravenous Vitamin C Infusion

Five out of nine types of cancer cells that were put in simulated body-cavity fluid died when concentrated vitamin C was added to the dish. Best of all, this same lethal solution had no effect on healthy cells.

Eating your way to obtain the same level of vitamin C dosage is not viable as the body will eliminate it faster than you can eat them, hence the need to plug it directly to the blood.
