Prostate Cancer Prevention-Active Prostate Cancer?

Prostate Cancer Prevention-Active Prostate Cancer?

According to Dr. Thierry Hertoghe a man’s raising estrogen level is one of the best predictors of the prostate cancer risk. Prostate Cancer may be prevented. The good news is that prostate cancer may be prevented by lowering a man’s estrogen levels.

 A simple ways to reduce estrogen levels is to decrease belly fat as belly fat cells in particular produce high levels of estrogen. Alcohol and caffeine increase male estrogen levels. Pesticides and plastics also increase a man’s estrogen levels.

Saliva testing can reveal high male estrogen levels relative to progesterone levels. A Saliva test indicating a high estrogen level relative to progesterone can alert a man to take steps to reduce his risk of prostate cancer.

As a man ages his progesterone levels (produced in the male adrenal glands) drop leaving testosterone and estrogen levels unopposed by progesterone, a cancer prevention hormone.

Environmental toxins and belly fat convert the testosterone to a powerful estrogen/testosterone (DHT).  This powerful estrogen-testosterone combination can cause prostate cancer, swell the prostate and create male pattern baldness.

Further good news is that if rising estrogen levels are addressed in time the prostate cancer causative factors can be reversed and prevented.

The major challenges are to reverse the steps leading to prostate cancer and to stop the conversion of testosterone to DHT.

1-Reduce belly fat.

2-Consider Saw Palmetto  (However, this herb may give false PSA tests).

3-Zinc, less than 100 mg daily.

4-Topical NATURAL progesterone cream available through many compounding pharmacies over the counter or with a prescription.

5-Avoid environmental chemicals which tend to be retained in the adrenal glands and bind to the male hormone receptors.

6- Test your vitamin D levels. Blood levels of Vitamin D3 below 50 ng/ml increase the risk of cancer (by failing to produce the T-cells necessary to ward off abnormal cells like cancer and autoimmune disease). Serum Blood levels of Vitamin D3 need to be in the range of   50-80ng/ml to prevent abnormal cells like cancer/autoimmune disease.

7-Strong T-cells kill cancer cells before cancer can gain a toe-hold. Blood levels of Vitamin D3 80-100ng/ml can slow the progression of cancer. D3 serum blood levels of over 100ng/ml can cause health issues such as kidney damage. This is why testing IS VERY IMPORTANT AS EVERYONE PROCESSES D3 differently based ON GENETICS.

You can order inexpensive D3 tests through vitamin D3 Council. 805-439-1075

8-Avoid caffeine and alcohol as these stimulates increase a man’s estrogen levels.

9-Avoid sugar because the glucose converts quickly to belly fat and creates vascular system clogging inflammation.

There are tests that may help to determine if a man’s estrogen level is rising or if his testosterone is converting to DHT include: DHT Blood serum test available through Life Extension 1-888-895-4764 for about $75 or a Saliva test showing the ratio estrogen progesterone balance available through ZRT Lab 866-600-1636 (about $135).  Life Extension offers a lab review of their tests so you can ask for a lab reviewer to call you back and help you determine your questions for your health practitioner. ZRT Labs on their website maintains list of health practitioners by zip code. As in all things we are responsible for doing the research necessary to find the right practitioners!

DHT conversion below 30ng/ml could lead to ED problems or muscle weakness. DHT conversion higher than 80ng/ml may set up a man for prostate cancer. ZRT Labs offer Saliva Test feedback as a healthy ratio of progesterone to estrogen to prevent prostate cancer based on the questionnaire and saliva test results.
