Not too many years ago men who had prostate cancer were castrated, had their testes surgically removed. Now, that is done chemically. Currently this is a first line treatment. This is done thinking that testosterone is the enemy. All this treatment does, is buy time. In a year or so, androgen insensitive cancer cells will take over. Poisonous chemotherapy with very expensive drugs is the next treatment. So, we go from no testosterone causing depression, lack of energy, loss of libido, muscle atrophy leading to weakness and increase risk of death for all causes to chemotherapy with its side effects. They are still treating men with high doses of estrogen turning men into women with breasts. The thinking was estrogen opposes testosterone, wrong. Unbalanced estrogen is the enemy. It also causes cardiovascular disease when unbalanced with progesterone or testosterone. Prostate cancer is the second cancer-related cause of death. Nowadays, the aim of treatments is to decrease the effects of androgens on this organ. Unfortunately, over time, patients develop an androgen-independent cancer with a fatal outcome. The main features of late stage prostate cancer are an increased cell proliferation and apoptosis (cell suicide) resistance. One in four American men have prostate cancer by age 50. Thirty-eight thousand have their prostates removed by surgery or radiation, and 40,000 men die from prostate cancer each year. Is this inevitable? Is this and enlarged prostates in 80% of American men just part of aging for the male? No, most of the world has no significant prostate problems. What are we doing to cause this epidemic? 40 years ago experimenters showed that cancer cells could be caused to revert to normal, by changing their environment. This book will explain how to change cellular environment to prevent and eradicate cancer.
