Prostate Cancer Treatments Spur Cancer Growth

When men with advanced prostate cancer are treated with hormone therapy, the cancer usually stops growing for a year, maybe two. But then the disease often begins to grow again, and mainstream doctors have few if any options left to try to help.

So why did the hormone treatment work for a while and then stop? According to findings recently published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the explanation may be unexpectedly simple: the very drugs given to men to fight their prostate cancer actually spur some cancer cells to grow.

The new study, headed by Chawnshang Chang, PhD, director of the George Whipple Laboratory for Cancer Research at the University of Rochester Medical Center, and colleagues, suggests the androgen receptor, through which male hormones like testosterone work, turns out to be far more versatile than scientists realized. Specifically, a common form of hormone therapy for prostate cancer works by blocking the androgen receptor. And Dr. Chang’s team found that it was true that depriving the male body of testosterone this way can at times stop cancer in the short term by preventing some cells in the prostate from growing. But, unfortunately, they also discovered that blocking the receptor can actually cause a revving up of other prostate cell growth and can lead to a proliferation of cancer cells down the road.

While the findings are based on both laboratory studies and in experiments with mice, there’s plenty of reason to be concerned that androgen receptor blocking therapy could be putting men with prostate cancer at heightened risk for spread of the disease instead of a cure.

The truth about blocking male hormones and emerging cancer

“When a man receives hormone therapy, initially the treatment works well, and his PSA (prostate specific antigen) level goes down,” urologist Edward Messing, MD, an author of the paper, said in a media statement. “But inevitably, the PSA will start climbing again, and that is usually the first sign that the treatment is beginning to fail. It’s a sign that the cancer in the prostate is making a comeback.”

“The androgen receptor acts differently in different cells in prostate tissue,” Dr. Chang said in the media release. “It’s always been assumed that blocking the androgen receptor will stop all prostate cells from growing, but we have found that that’s not the case. Since current treatment acts non-specifically on all the cells having androgen receptors in the prostate, blocking the androgen receptor will give mixed results.”

Bottom line: It turns out that when common cancer drugs are used to block hormone receptors, they “turn off” epithelial cells, which form the membranous tissue covering internal organs. By doing this, these drugs remove one of the body’s natural protections that prevent prostate cancer cells from spreading in the first place. The result? Cancer cells are more likely to metastasize and invade other tissues.

In addition to potentially causing prostate cancer to eventually spread, hormone treatment for prostate cancer comes loaded with a host of side effects including loss of muscle mass, impotency, brittle bones, weight gain, memory loss and hot flashes.

Healing Very Frequent Urination (About Every 2 Hours)

Healing very frequent urination (about every 2 hours)

Hi, this is a question from Greg Russell, and he says, I have a female friend now forty-nine years old who has been waking approximately every two hours to pee ever since she can remember. Doctors of course are useless here. I suspect something emotional, her father was very suppressed himself, after an abusive childhood, but he never hit the kids, but the house was a war zone. Any ideas on this one? He also said the kid does not want to grow up but still, why the constant waking?

And this really shows the close connection between mind and body when the person is scared, he is afraid, when there is a lot of conflict situations around a child it will automatically withdraw, it will become tight, it will contract, and this contraction or tightening also occurs in the urinary system so the kidneys become tight, they start closing shutting their doors, the bladder will also hold on to urine and this can lead to accumulation of crystals in the bladder wall and also in the urine in the kidneys itself. And so the bladder literally becomes smaller, it starts shrinking, it becomes tighter over time so eventually, there is just not enough space for the normal amount of urine to be accumulated in the bladder before a release takes place, and so the urgency of having to pee every two hours is then sort of the only way to handle this. If the bladder were naturally extended towards full volume holding capacity then it would take only four, five, six hours or the person would not have to get up to during the night time to release urine.

Once again, this has definitely to do with the emotions that occurred during childhood, I would recommend to do a reprogramming session, my wife Lillian, you can go to ‘acrossdimensions.com‘, ‘lily@acrossdimensions.com’ is her email address, lily, then you could set up a setup with her, I could probably assist with Sacred Santemony but unfortunately I am completely booked until 2012 early in that year, so I would suggest that contact through my wife’s email address or go to the website ‘acrossdimensions.com’ and certainly that can be released and she can have a better way of relaxing in her life.

So yes, childhood trauma like this can last forever, and unless one deals with what caused it in the first place.

The other thing is that I would suggest kidney cleansing to open the kidneys, dissolve any existing crystals and stones that have occurred in the kidneys. The recipe and the instructions are in my book “THE AMAZING LIVER AND GALLBLADDER FLUSH” and by doing that the kidneys and bladders start relaxing again and the bladder can fill out more naturally with the normal amount of urine and this way she will not have the urge to pee that frequently.

Also the other thing is that, this typically would happen more during the night time when the kidneys are more active, between two and six in the morning so, I assume that this is the time when she goes to the bathroom most frequently, again, kidney cleansing perhaps also making sure not to eat cheese and milk, these dairy products can also cause more restrictions in the bladder and meat as well, so if she can reduce meat, chicken, fish ,eggs then that would be very helpful for that organ.

Having said that I encourage her again to deal with the emotional root causes behind this and wish her a beautiful rest of her life.

Sexual Health – Malfunction in Erection

Sexual health – malfunction in erection

This question is from a 49 year old man who says he has experienced malfunction with his erection and it causes an unstable or difficult relationship with his wife. It feels like everything stops inside me from being alive. I am basically going through a death experience.

This is very understandable because you are having a well functioning sexual organ it is very important not just for sexual relationships but also for having a health body. The sexual organs are not just there for reproduction to create children or for having sexual pleasure but it is also necessary to regenerate the DNA in our body and reproductive organs produce… allow the genes to be healthy and new cells to be formed properly in the body, so this is a very good question and it requires perhaps a longer answer.

I have discussed many reasons why the reproductive system can malfunction in my book “TIMELESS SECRETS OF HEALTH AND REJUVENATION“, everything that disturbs the digestive process and reduces the nutrient distribution to such important organs such as the prostate and the testes, that is a factor to consider and that implies also that the liver bile ducts are not clean,  you are obviously not digesting your food well because there is a blockage in the bile ducts which do not allow enough bile to be secreted to digest your food properly and to nourish these important reproductive organs.

So cleaning out the liver is very important and also cleaning out the kidneys, because, kidney congestion where stones or crystals are accumulating in the kidneys can easily impact the performance, the ability to have an erection in the penis and so I would strongly recommend clean out the liver, clean out the kidneys and clean out the colon. If you have a large abdomen that can easily put pressure on the reproductive system as well and lead to malfunctioning. And so, I  recommend that if you change your diet, lifestyle, clean out these important organs, you should have a very good chance to get the functions in your reproductive system back to normal. Especially at your age there is no reason, there is no other reason why you should not have a proper sexual performance level.

Dealing with Frequent Urination and Prostate Issues

Dealing with frequent urination and prostate issues

Hi, this is a question from a person in Ireland who wishes help his / her friend who is seventy-four years old, he is suffering from diabetes, is on medication and he has constant back pain, difficulties with bending, quite frequent urination that also prevents him from longer trips. He likes travelling but he is restricted in doing so. He has a diet that is typical for an average person – very, very high in dairy products, yogurt, milk, red meat, potatoes – typical diet of an Irish farmer and he may not be able to or have the energy or the enthusiasm to make changes to his diet.

Unfortunately that is going to be very difficult because diet has a lot to do with how the kidneys and the prostate work, for example, we know that a diet high in dairy products is responsible for many prostate issues and to help elevate the situation, I strongly recommend to desist eating any dairy products except unsalted butter to small amounts, because the dairy proteins, and particularly the lactose in the protein, can lead to major constrictive occurrences in the prostate and also in the kidneys.

Much of the lower back pain is actually caused by crystals, stones leaving the kidneys and passing through the ureters and particularly in the area where the ureters converge and combine, that is where the lower back pain occurs, and the reason for that is these crystals have very, very sharp edges to them and they are like… very, very sharp surfaces that cut into the ureter lining just like knives or razor blades would cut into it and that can cause an enormous amount of pain, dull pain and sharp pain which restricts the moving ability of that part of the body so bending would definitely become an issue.

But also, these crystals enter the bladder, the urinary bladder, and because of the urinary difficulties there will be retention of urine which will start backwashing into the prostate gland and the prostrate will accumulate those crystals and embed them in the tissues which can cause an enlargement of the prostate and lead to further urinary, frequent urination problems. So, I would suggest that that if he really is serious about improving his quality of life, that he does make changes to his lifelong dietary habits and perhaps make some lifestyle changes which I have discussed in my book “TIMELESS SECRETS OF HEALTH AND REJUVENATION“

The bottom line is how much does he love and accept himself, how much does he value himself and his health, over some dietary habits that he may have become so used to, that it may be difficult to give up, but it will be in his best interest to at least give himself the opportunity to improve the condition, because it is not fun to be so limited in your lifestyle that it will actually deprive the person of even more of joy than having the pleasure of eating some of the things, some yogurt or cheese or red meat which otherwise can create many, many problems to the kidneys, to the digestive system, to the rest of the body.

Diabetes, by the way, can easily be caused by eating animal proteins and dairy products. So the amount of protein that is contained in meat is fairly concentrated, is fairly high, and in order to synthesis the amino acids that are broken down through during the digestive process from eating those foods will require an enormous amount of insulin and so many of the people that are suffering from diabetes now actually do not have diabetes because they have eaten too much sugar or starch foods, but, they are mostly diabetic because their body is forced to produce an enormous amount of insulin in response to eating concentrated protein foods such as dairy food or meat and once again, to synthesize the amino acids that are generated, when you digest meat for example, requires up to ten or sometimes twenty times the amount of insulin that would be required for eating a couple of tablespoons of, or even more, of white sugar.

So there is just no comparison, that is why there is a new study, a fairy new study that came out and was released by the National Institute of Cancer, studying five hundred fifty thousand Americans and they discovered that eating meat on a regular basis increased the risk of dying in these individuals, to the amount of twenty percent, that means, that the chance of dying increasing will also mean that the risk of developing other diseases will be the higher just as much or even more so. And the risk from dying from diabetes is very, very high when you eat meat according to the study.

So once again, you do not have… a person does not have to continue having diabetes and being on medication which has side effects of course, but that diabetes is reversible and so is urinary tract congestion, kidney congestion. I would make sure to drink the kidney tea so that these crystals are broken down and they do not accumulate in the bladder area, in the bladder walls, where they can backwash into the prostate gland, and also making sure that not any new crystals like uric acid are formed from overeating products like meat. Having said that, I wish that this beautiful, wonderful gentleman will recover from this ordeal and taking self responsibilities is one if the best and first steps to recovery.

Having a good life and making sure that during the summer period he is exposing his skin, his entire body to the sun, to at least get some amount of vitamin D generated in his body which will also be incredibly helpful for prostate issues as we now know. Prostate issues respond very, very well to increased amounts of vitamin D in the blood stream and in the tissues of course, and so this would be very beneficial for recovering from the prostate conditions.

Thank you.

Disorders of the Reproductive System

Posted on by

By Andreas Moritz 

Female and male reproductive systems both depend largely on smooth functioning of the liver. Gallstones in the liver obstruct the movement of bile through the bile ducts, which impairs digestion and distorts the structural framework of liver lobules. This diminishes the liver’s production of serum albumin. Serum albumin is the most common and abundant protein in the blood responsible for maintaining plasma osmotic pressure at its normal level of 25mmHg, and clotting factors, essential for coagulation of blood. Insufficient osmotic pressure cuts down the supply of nutrients to the cells, including those of the reproductive organs. This may lead to reduced lymph drainage and, subsequently, to fluid retention and edema, as well as retention of metabolic waste and gradual impairment of sexual functions.

Most diseases of the reproductive system result from improper lymph drainage. The thoracic duct (see Disorders of the Circulatory System) drains lymph fluid from all organs of the digestive system, including the liver, spleen, pancreas, stomach and intestines. This large duct often becomes severely congested when gallstones in the liver lead to disturbed digestion and absorption of food. It is obvious, yet hardly ever recognized, that congestion in the thoracic duct affects the organs of the reproductive system; they, too, need to empty their lymphatic waste products into the thoracic duct.

Impaired lymphatic drainage from the female pelvic area of the body is responsible for suppressed immunity, menstrual problems, PMT, menopausal symptoms, pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), cervicitis, all uterine diseases, vulvar dystrophies with growth of fibrous tissue, ovarian cysts and tumors, cell destruction, hormone deficiencies, low libido, infertility, and genetic mutations of cells leading to cancer. Thoracic blockage may also lead to lymph congestion in the left breast, leaving deposits of noxious substances that can cause inflammation, lump formation and even tumors. If the right lymphatic duct, which drains lymph from the right half of the thorax, head, neck and right arm, becomes congested, toxins are retained in the right breast, leading to similar problems there.

A continuous restriction of lymph drainage from the male pelvic area causes benign and malignant prostate enlargement, and inflammation of the testes, penis and urethra. Impotence is a likely consequence of this development. The consistent increase of gallstones in the liver, a common factor among middle-aged men in affluent societies, is one of the major reasons for lymph blockage in this vital part of the body. Venereal diseases occur when there is a high level of toxicity in the exposed area due to lymph blockage, prior to microbial infection. The collapsing capacity of the lymphatic system to repel invading organisms causes most reproductive and sexual disorders.

By removing all gallstones from the liver and taking recourse to a healthy diet and lifestyle, lymphatic activity can return to normal. The reproductive tissue receives improved nourishment and becomes more resistant. Infections subside; cysts, fibrous tissue and tumors are broken down and removed; sexual functions are restored.
