“Dr. Rhonda Patrick explains what antioxidants are, why they are important, and how they prevent DNA damage, a well-known cancer initiator. Vitamin E and Prostate Cancer However, in the context of someone that already has cancer, DNA damage can activate genes that kill cancer cells.”

“The group was 24 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer within the first two years of the study than men who reported no heart disease, and by four years into the study, this group's prostate cancer risk was 74 percent higher.”

“The multi-center study involved 115 men between the ages of 59 and 69 years old who had been diagnosed with localized prostate cancer. Each of the men received TULSA treatment (average time, 51 minutes) and then were reassessed 12 months later.”

“Also, they found that serum from the participants inhibited prostate tumor growth in vitro by 70 percent in the lifestyle-change group but only 9 percent in the comparison group. Again, there was a direct correlation between the degree of lifestyle change and the inhibition of prostate tumor growth.”

“Findings from a 2015 study demonstrated that sulforaphane reduces biochemical recurrence in men who have had prostate cancer. Biochemical recurrence is a phenomenon in which serum levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels increase.”

“It also reduced another marker of how quickly cancer cells were multiplying by about 34% and increased a marker of programmed cell death by about 30%. The researchers focused on fatty acid production because it is elevated in human prostate cancer and contributes to disease progression.”

Those with the highest levels of inflammation benefited the most from the periodontal treatment. Six participants showed no changes.”

“Serum concentrations of oncostatin M increased by 82 percent while other myokines did not increase or could not be measured. Finally, prostate cancer cells incubated with serum taken post-exercise training reduced cancer growth by 22 percent compared to serum taken prior to exercise training.”

“FTA:Compared to men who have had only one partner during their lifetime, having sex with more than 20 women is associated with a 28% lower risk of one day being diagnosed with prostate cancer. However, having more than 20 male partners in one's lifetime is associated with a twofold higher risk of getting prostate cancer compared to those who have never slept with a man.”
