Natural Cures For Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer alternative medicine for men is about ways to treat enlarged prostrate naturally. Almost all prostates enlarge with age. When the prostate enlarges, it narrows the urethra opening so that urine has trouble getting through.
Ten million men have benign prostrate hyperplasia (BPH). Only half of those men will experience any symptoms. Prostate cancer is the most prevalent male malignancy and the second leading cause of death in men. Let’s take a look at how symptoms can be relieved and cancer prevented.
Prostate Cancer Alternative Medicine: Herbal Remedies
Saw Palmetto has been used actively for prostate conditions since the 1950’s. Saw Palmetto has become so popular in the US for relieving symptoms of BPH that it is the sixth best selling herb.
Another popular herbal remedy is called Pygeum Africanum, a large African evergreen with active properties to reduce prostate enlargement and inflammation.
Chinese doctors have also discovered a powerful formula for Prostate called Kat Kit Wan Prostate Gland Pills. This formula is used for chronic and acute prostate gland infection and swelling.
These herbal medications are also good for urinary tract infections associated with backache and abdominal pain.
Prostate Cancer Alternative Medicine: Nutritional Support
Good nutrition with specific minerals and vitamins is vital in the prevention of prostate cancer. Zinc is an important mineral for the prostate because it uses ten times more zinc than any other organ in the body. Zinc does naturally what conventional medicine tries to do but without side effects.
Zinc reduces the levels of prolactin and blocks the body’s production of dihydrotestosterone, a potent testosterone that is responsible for the enlargement of the prostate.
Healthy foods high in zinc are:
- oysters
- wheat germ
- (whole wheat) pumpkin
- sunflower seeds
- onions
- beans
To reduce the risk of cancer, certain nutrients can help also.
Vitamin-E (a potent antioxidant), tomatoes, selenium (a mineral found in seafood), and grains should all be eaten daily for prevention of prostate problems.
