How To Protect Yourself From Prostrate Disease
It’s no wonder that so many men are concerned about developing Prostrate problems, since Prostrate Cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men. BPH (Benign Prostrate Enlargement) will affect 1 out of every 2 men in their lifetimes, and worse yet, 1 out of every 6 men will be diagnosed with some form of Prostrate Cancer. In 2008 Prostrate Cancer claim 28,000 lives that year alone!
This article discusses several clinically proven interventions that you can use to provide a multi-targeted approach to Prostate health without the side effects of prescription drugs. These natural interventions work in numerous ways to disrupt prostate disease at every stage of development, without the undesirable side effects produced by pharmaceuticals, including sexual dysfunction. Physicians who prescribe prescriptions for prostate patients often advise their patients to consider the sexual side effects before embarking on that course of treatment.
Saw Palmetto remains the leading fighter in providing natural prostate defense. The extract derivatives of the plant work in several ways to promote prostate health. First they inhibit the production of DHT a hormone that increases prostate growth and possibly promotes cancer. They also bind to DHT receptors preventing them from being as destructive. Next, they block certain transmitters that cause lower urinary tract discomfort.
In 18 clinical trials studying the effects of Saw Palmetto on 2,939 men, Saw Palmetto reduced urinary tract symptoms and increased urine flow more effectively than the placebos. The subjects taking Saw Palmetto also experienced significantly less nocturnal (nighttime urination). In a double blind study 60% of men receiving the supplement showed significant improvement. Additionally, by combining Saw Palmetto with other extracts such as Nettle Root and Pygeum Africanum (African Plum Tree Bark) the results were even more impressive.
Nettle Root when used in combination with Saw Palmettos also helps regulate hormone activity in Prostrate tissues. Another benefits include it’s powerful antimicrobial properties and its ability to reduce inflammation. Best of all, this is all accomplished without the toxicity experienced with pharmaceuticals. Nettle has demonstrated in clinical trials its abilities to counteract the effects of BPH and to even reverse it. When paired up with Saw Palmetto, they even more effectively attack cancer cell membranes and retard cancer growth.
Food such as Flax which contain high amounts of lignans also help fight prostrate cancer. Research shows a remarkable reduction in tumor proliferation in only 30 days in prostrate cancer patients whose diets were supplemented with Flax. Another treatment for supporting prostrate health that is widely used in Europe as a standard therapy is Pygenum Africanum. This compound has also been found to be highly effective in fighting BPH. Lycopene, which is derived from tomatoes, is valued for its ability to protect against DNA damage and decrease the risk of cancer.
Individually each of these defenses have been proven to be effective, but when used in combination they provide an even more powerful defense against BPH and prostrate cancer without the side effects caused by prescription drugs.
