 Dr. Lee and Dr. Rothenberg state several common points in the prevention of prostate cancer. Dr. Rothenberg’s book notes the role of natural progesterone in the REVERSAL of prostate cancer. This reversal of prostate cancer might be effected because natural progesterone boosts immunity by making a tumor suppressor gene (p53) more effective.

 

Since the average cost of prostate cancer is $70,000 with the side effects of impotence, incontinence, depression and loss of muscle mass, it behooves a man to consider several aspects of Prostate cancer prevention.

 

Many of the progressive doctors echo Lee and Rothenberg. Here is a rundown on their common points of advocacy.

 

Zinc:

 

Drs. Lee and Rothenberg advocate the importance of zinc (responsible for over 200 enzyme reactions), selenium and cruciferous vegetables.

 

Cruciferous Vegetables:

 Cruciferous vegetable block the production of di-hydro testosterone…. by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase associated with prostate cancer and benign hypertrophy (prostate enlargement).

 

Omega 3:

Dr. Lee in his monograph entitled, Hormone Balance for Men, espouses the role of Omega 3 in the prevention of prostate cancer. He cites a Swedish study, published in the British Medical Journal, Lancet, June 2, 2001, “Reduction of Inflammation with Omega 3 Oils and Inhibition of Prostate Cancer in Animal’s.”

 

Be sure to select a good grade of fish oil. Check your brand of fish oil to determine if it is tested for mercury and other environmental pollutants

 

An article published in the Clinical Cancer Res. Journal 2009, April 1: 15 (7) ; 2559-66 Epub 2009, March 24 by Researchers: Cheng, Witte at University of California at San Francisco sing the same refrain on the virtues of Omega 3 in the prevention of prostate cancer  “ Our finding support the hypothesis that LC n3- may impact prostate inflammation and carcinogenesis through the COX-2 enzymatic pathway.”

 

Saw Pimento:

 Dr. Lee in his monograph supports the role of Saw Pimento in the prevention of prostate cancer. However, Saw Pimento may impair the ability to obtain a correct PSA. As in all

things do you own homework.

 

Natural Progesterone: (Never to be confused with Progestin’s)

Dr. Rothenberg and Dr. Lee both advocate progesterone. Dr. Lee notes that a good daily dose for a man is 5-8mg in Hormone Balance for Men, page 23.  Dr. Rothenberg in his book, Beat Menopause Naturally on page 46 notes that natural progesterone may REVERSE and PREVENT prostate cancer, because of progesterone’s power to make the tumor suppressor gene (p53) more effective.

 

Dr. Rothenburg details on page 46, “Progesterone prevents the body from converting testosterone to di-hydro testosterone. It does this by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Progesterone inhibits 5 alpha reductase far more effectively than any other herbal treatments.”

 

Thyroid Function:

 

Dr. Lee advocates a state of optimal thyroid function for the prevention of prostate cancer (Perhaps, because low thyroid function acreates an ineffective immune system. Low thyroid function can lead to high estrogen levels; estrogen promotes BcL-2 a gene known as an oncogene that inhibits natural cell death and causes cancer, page 22 of Hormone Balance for Men).

 

Men seeking optimum thyroid function may want to ask their physician for a Free T-3 test. A hormone test which includes the word “Free” means what is free and bio-available of that hormone to the cell. It is only the free hormone that actually works on the cell.

 

Vitamin D3:

 Both doctors advocate the role of Sunlight/ D3 in the Prevention of Prostate Cancer.

More information on the role of D3 in boosting the immune system and the prevention of cancer can be obtained by typing in “ D3 and cancer prevention/regression “ into the Search Function of National Medical Library PubMed.gov.

 

Dr. Lee state on page 23 of his book “Hormone Balance for Men, notes “that he has many patients from his practice who have done well for over 16 years with Prostate Cancer with progesterone treatment alone WITHOUT surgery or chemotherapy interventions".

 

Dr. Lee, states, “Though retired, I keep in contact with a number of my patients with prostate cancer that I had treated with diet, antioxidants, progesterone and testosterone (as described above) and these men, now 16 years later, remain in good health, without having to resort to surgery or chemotherapy.”

 

His book details a man’s daily average dose of bioidential testosterone and progesterone.

 

This book review author understands from other medical authors never to use synthetic testosterone or progesterone as these synthetic hormones can adversely affect the liver and heart.

 

 Dr. Rothenberg and Dr. Lee address the supplements, herbs and natural hormones that prevent prostate cancer. Prevention means everything to the man who does not want to live in diapers or have his quality of life degraded by prostate cancer.

 
 

Dr. John Lee’s Book, Hormone Balance for Men is available on the Web.

Dr. Ron Rothenburg’s Book, Beat Menopause Naturally is available at Amazon.
