Cayenne
Twenty-five years ago, a urologist wanted to put me in the hospital to cut my prostate because my test results were high (at that time about 4. 5). I told him I'd "sleep on it" and passed. Then I started taking Saw Palmetto, about 450 mg twice daily. For 25 years this has been my remedy and has allowed me to urinate relatively freely, until recently, when my urine stream began to weaken and my bladder never seemed completely empty.
The last BPH(?) test showed my prostate had grown larger (test results had increased to about 10. 5). I continued using saw palmetto, but was getting up at night every two hours to urinate and could not completely empty my bladder. Annoying to say the least.
Then, about 3 months ago, I began following the cayenne pepper protocol:
1) one heaping tsp. cayenne with
2) fresh squeezed juice of one-half lemon in
3) Five or six ounces lukewarm water mixed well
every morning on an empty stomach.
It was suggested I try this "if you're man enough" and I tried. I have always been fond of hot and spicey foods, being particularly enamored of hot and spicey Thai and other Oriental dishes, but the cayenne and lemon juice in warm water was a shock!
It took about 5 or 6 days of ingesting this concoction regularly every morning before I was really "man enough" to swig it down every day without choking or wincing or sneezing uncontrollably!
Now I find that my urinating is more completely emptying my bladder, that I don't get up nearly so much during the night, and I am also experiencing much more vigor and energy.
I am scheduled for updating prostate lab tests early next year and am anxious to see if my results validate this therapy. I can hear the urologist now saying "Whatever you're doing, it's working well, so keep it up."
I am recovering from a heart attack (two years ago), with 100 % occlusion of my right coronary artery. I am convinced that the cayenne protocol is also helping me to flush the plaque out of my arteries to allow the blood to flow more freely. I would say cayenne pepper allows the blood to flow more freely throughout the body's systems and carry more oxygen where it's needed at the cellular level.
Here's to better health, all of you! Take the cayenne pepper remedy - "if you're man enough! " Give it a try for at least a week or two to experience the results.

Hope this is helpful. Brother-in-law had diagnosed prostate cancer. While waiting for surgery at Stanford University Hospital, he started taking Vit. D3 (don't know amount) and drinking green tea and eating "soy nuts". By the time he went to arrange last minute particulars for surgery his cancer was gone.

I was reccomended to take barley powder in attempts to detox from a medication and have been pleasantly surprised that is really does flush the body of unwated toxins. When Itake it the whites of my eyes turn very white.. I say that is a great sign. When i researched the Barley powder I came across a man who beleived it helped cure him of his prostate cancer. I have been trying to get my dad on it but he is as stubborn as a mule;-)
I would also take vitamin q10. I had a hormone specialist who reccomeded that for almost everyone it helped clear her of her breast cancer.
Although I have never had cancer myself but dealt with chronic illness I find this an amazing site especially the studies done on how negative thinking and stress really can make us more sick. I try to apply that to my life every day in comparison to before when I worried on a daily basis which really did make me more ill. I have never ordered anything from this site so i can not reccomend any products.
Good luck with your friend and best wishes.
P.s. Lechithin is made from soya and there are plenty of contradictions that soya can make prostate cancer worse. Even though my father drank soya for a short time during his treatment i would personally stay away from it. Thats just my opinion.

his psa test of april 3, showed a decline from 17.1 to 15.5. he continued the formula, sometimes
raising the baking soda to two teaspoons,thereby raising the urine ph to between 8 and 9, while saliva ph is between 7 and 8. in addition, he indulged the budwig diet of flax oil, cottage cheese, ground flaxseed fortified with lecithin and a banana to enhance taste. the july 1 psa test showed an increase from 15.5 to 15.9.
clearly, something is going wrong. i await your treasured comments and/or advice

This is an update to my prostate condition as I published recently on my website.
I was diagnosed with Stage I prostate cancer on Aug 15th 2008 from a 12 core biopsy. I had a second 32 core biopsy that confirmed the diagnosis on Dec. 12, 2008. My Gleason score is 3+3. I am 75 years old and in good health otherwise. I selected Active Surveillance as my treatment.
Part of the surveillance is to get a PSA test every 3-4 months. The test numbers of my PSA have gone up with each test over the past 4 years, indicating the cancer. I took the PSA again on April 15, 2009 and the number decreased from 5.23 to 3.63, a 1.6 drop. This is the first drop since 2006 and considered unusual, but a very good indicator that my cancer may have decreased.
I credit three things for the decrease:
1. Prayer. I have 6 different groups praying for me and I pray each day that if God has things for me yet to do, He will keep me in good health to do them.
2. Drastic change in my diet.
3. Drinking 2-3 oz of Essiac tea twice a day.
ABOUT ME FIRST
My career for 38 years was as a technical writer or managing technical writers. Another name for a technical writer might be "a researcher" because he spends about 75 percent of his time researching his subject, 15 percent writing and 10 percent doing other things. I learned how to research well and to throw out non valid data. I applied this to my study of prostate cancer over the past 6 months.
Since my diagnosis, I've been getting "Google and Yahoo Alerts" every day. This means I get every new article put on the internet that has the words "prostate and cancer" and "prostate and diet". I average of 15-20 articles a day and read about 5. Many are redundant with different media covering the same subject. These include all kinds of information including the results of new scientific studies. Some articles have some very "twisted" information that is not valid, usually picked up from some old article or something the writer once thought was correct.
A number of articles and 3 medical doctors I've seen agree that red meat, mainly beef, is proven to allow prostate cancer to grow. You can't say it causes prostate cancer but can say it reduces your immune system effectiveness by allowing cancer to grow.
One analogy is: Have you ever taken a wire and bent it back and forth a number of times until it finally breaks? This is what happens to the prostate immune system when you eat red meat and animal fat over time. It attacks the immune system over and over and the cumulative results is the immune system breaks and allows cancer to grow. Even the "lean" in beef is fat. One study showed that 1 hamburger has as much fat as 12 crisp slices of bacon!
I learned that Asians and people that live in the Mediterranean part of the world have much less prostate cancer because they do not eat red meat or the fatty diets. If they move to America and eat our diet, they get prostate cancer, In Japan, some of the rich started eating fat beef in recent years and they are now developing cancer.
I was raised in Kansas and spent most of my adult life in Texas. In both places, the center of my diet was beef and beef products. At times I ate a 16 oz fat rib eye steak at least once a week and 70 % of other meals were with some kind of beef. I used to drink 1-2 gallons of milk a week.
MY NEW DIET:
Some New Rules
1. I will not eat beef or beef products of any kind, fixed any way. This includes butter, hamburger, steak, roast, milk or cream, etc. This was hard at first but I'm used to it now after about 5 months of it. I was given a small 6 oz steak at a wedding dinner recently, ate only about 1/3 of it, and decided I did not like it.
2. I will not eat fast food because most of it is fried and full of fat.
3. I will not eat BBQ. The charred part of BBQ is known to cause a number of cancers.
4. I have reduced my intake of sugar foods.
5. I eat more fish.
6. I eat more vegetables, whole grains, brown rice, salads and fruit. Fruit and carrots have become my between meal snacks.
7. I drink more juice, including apple, orange and pomegranate. I use these on my cereal each morning in place of milk. Once you get use to this, you may actually like it.
8. I use only olive oil in and on my foods. No other fats of any kind. I now watch the fat content of anything I buy and have eliminated a number of foods. I have eliminated eating peanuts and peanut butter because of the fat content and damage peanuts can cause the kidneys. I do eat about 20 dry roasted almonds each evening.
9. I do not add sugar or salt to any food.
10. I eat two tablespoons of golden ground flax a day, usually in my morning cereal. My cereal has flax added to it and is very low sugar and no fat.
11 . I drink more water
12. I drink two large cups of Japanese Green tea each day.
13. I drink 2 oz, twice a day of Essiac tea that I make for myself. (read about this below)
14. I have a large garden and often eat right out of the garden. I had peas and broccoli and tomatoes when available daily. If not available from my garden, I buy them. I try to eat one tomato a day or the juice of a tomato.
15. My supplements consists of:
2000 iu of D3 (the most important of all) taken at bet time,
500 mg of buffered, time-release C,
500 mg of pomegranate concentrate,
600 mg calcium,
1000 mcg of B-12 every other day,
500 mg of Flush-free Niacin at bed time,
1000 mg of Omega-3 fish oil, taken twice a day.
Essiac Tea
I learned about Essiac from a medical doctor in Arlington Texas where I live. He is taking it for his prostate cancer. He learned of it from a minister. I have talked to the minister and heard his story: In 1996, he was diagnosed with advanced stage IV prostate cancer that had metastasized in his spine. He was given about 6 weeks to live. He announced this to his friends.That same day, a church member showed up with some Essiac Tea for him to drink. He continued to drink it and within 6 months an MRI showed his cancer was gone. He is now fully retired at age 76 with no cancer but still drinks his Essiac tea each day.
I have read a number of articles about the tea on the internet and found others that are using it. There are many testimonials on the internet of its curative powers. I have drunk about 4 gallons of it at 4 oz a day and will continue to drink it.
I have a brother that has stage III prostate cancer and recently had his prostate removed. He is also drinking Essiac tea and following a diet similar to mine. When he went to buy Essiac the first time, he found a lady that was told to drink it by her medical doctor. She had breast cancer. She believes the Essiac tea cured her cancer. I read one testimonial on the internet of a retired Marine officer that has what is known as Agent Orange disease. He had about given up hope that anything would make him better, but Essiac tea did.
Both the governments of U. S. and Canada have studied it to determine if it can harm a person. Both concluded it probably will not harm any one, with one exception. Persons that have a tendency to develop kidney stones should not take it because one of the ingredients is know to cause kidney stones sometimes. The governments have not tested the tea against any diseases.

Flax Seeds
This question is for Ted-
My father has prostate cancer, he had the HIFU treatment last year. His PSA was just done and has jumped from 1.4 to 10.7 in just 3 months. In November 2008, I encouraged him to start taking ground flax seed meal daily. I have recently read conflicting articles on the use of flax seed meal with prostate problems (estrogen). I'm thinking maybe the flax seed is responsible for the recent elevated PSA? I'm hoping you could shed some light on that. He also currently takes Vit C, D3, E, fish oil, selenium. He is drinking ACV and alkaline water (bought an alkalizer). I need to harp on him for his sweet tooth, so I'm sure there is a candida issue.
After much frenzied research, we decided to wait on the biopsy and even Dr. C. (who recommended the biopsy) told us we have some time before we need to do this. (Dr. C. said if cancer was found he would recommend taking the prostate out.)From what we have read, a biopsy may spread cancer and the biopsy procedure for prostate is more invasive and therefore riskier than other biopsies. No one told us that there are many factors that can affect a PSA test, including sexual activity, bike riding, etc and even a prostate exam!
We had another appointment with an alternative Dr., Dr. E. He believes that my husband's Vitamin D level is low and believes that could be part of the problem. He went ahead and put my husband on Cipro to see if that will lower the PSA, as the other doc (Dr. C, the doctor who wanted to biopsy) did not even mention the possibility of prostatitus.(My husband had a vasectomy in July and we have read that sometimes prostatitus can occur after this.) My husband went ahead and had blood drawn to check on his Vitamin D levels and will see Dr. E this week to go over the results. Dr. E also started him on a mix of three herbs (saw palmetto, stinging nettle, & pygeum).
Dr. E said that what Dr. C did is standard practice and my husband and I totally understand that he must follow procedure to avoid being sued.
So, we are going to try and change my husband's PSA levels over the next couple of months and if there is no response, we will have the Doppler ultrasound and go from there.
We will keep you posted. Thanks again, Sandy

I've been getting "google alerts" ever day on ever article written about prostate cancer on the internet. These average about 15 a day. Many of them write about the same subject, but I believe I have learned alot.
The number one thing I have learned is that you have to become your own avocate and seek your own treatment because there are many different opinions out there for treatment and some of them are not the best for a specific case. ALWAYS get a second or third opinion before proceeding with a treatment!!!. If I had gone with the first treatment offered me, it would have been totally wrong. Trying to find the right treatment is like nailing Jello to a tree.
I also learned from many sources that what we eat has an impact on PC growth. I have stopped eating any beef and beef products like milk because every doctor I saw said they know these over time can allow PC to grow. Also other fats except Olive oil. I've gone to a more PC healthly diet.
Hydrogen Peroxide
My husband, only 48, has had his Total Free PSA Level test come back with a high level 5.something (I just got off the phone with him and he was upset and couldn't remember the exact number.) His doc says there is a 50/50 chance he has prostate cancer and has scheduled him for a biopsy in one week.
We could really use some advice from any of you that have had experience personally or professionally with this type of problem. I am going to research this on the net, but maybe some of you can help with the following questions:
1. What are the risks of a biopsy?
2. How accurate are these biopsies?
3. If the biopsy confirms cancer, what next? I know the conventional way is to cut, burn or poison. What advice do you veterans of this disease have for us? If you want to write me directly, I have provided my email, just pull out the slashes.
We appreciate any prayers, good thoughts or advice you can spare.
Thank you, Sandy

In the meantime, I became aware of the work of Dr. Johanna Budwig, a German biochemist and Nobel prize nominee, who did extensive research in the benefits of flaxseed oil combined with sulphurated protein in the diet. She helped many seriously ill individuals, who had been given up as terminal, to regain their health. The program that she used was flaxseed oil blended with quark, the German form of cottage cheese.
In early December 1999, I began a program of flaxseed oil and low fat cottage cheese. Specifically, in the morning, I took five doses, each consisting of two 1,000 mg softgels of flaxseed oil with one teaspoon of low fat cottage cheese. I repeated this in the evening, so that my total daily dosage was twenty softgels of flaxseed oil and ten teaspoons of low fat cottage cheese. In the one year since I began this program, my PSA level has dropped from 6.15 to 2.4. I have now reduced my total daily dosage to two softgels of flaxseed oil and one teaspoon of low fat cottage cheese.
The source for the flaxseed oil that I used is Nature's Distributors, Inc., phone number 1-800-624-7114, or on the internet at www.naturesdistributors.com. This company often sells many of their products at a 2 for 1 price. If you call them, ask about their new Vita-Flax product, which is available in 1 lb. containers. This product is not only more economical, but it also replaces both the flaxseed oil AND the cottage cheese. It is also claimed to be superior in many ways to the flaxseed oil, since it is lower in fat and is rich in soluble fiber and also contains lignans, which reportedly have significant anti-cancer properties.
CONCLUSION: In my case, I was able to reduce my PSA level by over 50% without surgery or prescription drugs. The only change that I made besides the program described above is that I reduced my intake of red meat in favor of fish and poultry.
