Default How do I lower my testosterone level to slow the growth of prostate cancer? - 12-16-2008, 11:36 PM

I presently have prostate cancer and have been treated with 120 radio active iodine seeds imbedded in my prostate gland. I do not want to follw up with hormone therapy but want to lower my testosterone level via vitamins or herb therpy. My PSA after the seed procedure was at 1.29 but a year and a half later has risen to 1.78.

I grind up hulled pumpkin seeds into a meal and mix into cereal daily, 2 tbsp or so.I realize this is more preventive than curative, however.Sorry about this trouble, hope you can find some solution.Have you ever heard this site below ? It is a treasure trove !Dig in !

If you really want to avoid the therapy - then I would see a naturopath - don't screw around with remedies you read on the web. This is your life you're talking about. I am all for homeopathic, herbal and naturopathic remedies, but most of them I talk to (who are any good) believe that combination therapy is a good thing. You might be able to follow up with hormone therapy - but take something homeopathic or naturopathic to help with the side effects or to help cleanse your body (just make sure it doesn't interact with your therapy) Some herbs and remedies can actually counteract certain treatments - so see a professional. I know - seeing a classical homeopath can work wonders. My sister shrank her cancerous tumour in her breast (before surgery) to a third of its size - through one dose of a remedy. I used a homeopathic vet for my cat too - and her tumour went down to next to nothing as well. But remember - they all help each other. Good luck.

You should be aware of the product Zyflamend by New Chapter which was determined by Columbia University to cause apoptosis in prostate cancer cell lines. This product is composed of spice grade herbs like Tumeric, Ginger and Green Tea, but has a special potency associated with what's known as"supercritical extraction,"a carbon dioxide driven extraction process which takes 250 lbs of herb to make 1 pound of extract; it also pulls out - at low temperature and high pressure - all of the plant's active constituents: water, alcohol and fat soluble phytonutrients. I would also take the product Prostate 5lx by the same company, because it contains high levels of beta-sitosterol, which binds up with the enzyme that transforms testosterone into its toxic, prostate swelling metabolite: dihydrotestosterone. Furthermore, pick up a copy of Dr. Aron Katz's"Prostate Health."He is the foremost urologist today who is showing people both conventional and alternative ways to manage prostate issues. Good luck.

You don't say what your age is, so I don't know but here goes. The most definitive way to lower your hormone levels is an orchiectomy - castration. I work in a hospital and have seen this used for men in the Amish community who do not wish to pursue chemo or other therapies they consider extreme. It is an option you could look into, anyway.
