Finasteride (Proscar) Causes Almost 800% More Prostate Cancer! Old news?Finasteride (Proscar) Causes Almost 800% More Prostate Cancer! For years SupplementSpot and the Longevity News has been telling men not to get any standard medical treatments for prostate disease including drugs, surgery and radiation. There are two main drugs given to men with BPH (enlarged prostates)- finasteride to reduce 5-alpha reductase, and a muscle relaxer that has nothing at all to do with the prostate. Men should never, never, never take either of these drugs as they do not help at all, and have serious side effects. You actually end up worse by taking them. Now we find out just how much worse you end up. A study done by the famous Norris Cancer Center at the University of Southern California (British Journal of Cancer, vol. 78 in 1998) studied 52 real men with BPH. The Norris Cancer Institute is a very allopathically oriented organization that is most reluctant to criticize traditional medicine like this. The study occurred over five years ago, yet the media never covered it and this is the only place you’re ever going to read about it. Why didn’t the 6:00 news, your favorite magazines, the newspapers and television shows tell you about this most important study? Your doctor does not know about it, and won’t read it if you give it to him. This was a traditional double blind study where half the men were given a mere 5 mg of finasteride and half were given placebos (sugar pills). This study was reviewed and approved by the University of Southern California School of Medicine Institutional Review Board. In only one year the men who got the finasteride had almost 800% more prostate carcinoma (specifically “adenocarcinoma”)!!! Almost 800% more prostate cancer tumors in only one year. God only knows what would have happened if they had kept taking the poison. What would have happened after five years? And the men who took the finasteride lowered their PSA levels by a full 48%. They literally cut their PSA levels in half, but got almost eight times the cancer tumors! For years this column has been telling men not to even bother getting a PSA test as it is almost meaningless and can be very misleading. Well, here’s the proof- the PSA was slashed in half while the cancer rate skyrocketed almost 800%. The PSA can easily be raised falsely by a mere mild infection. The PSA is easily lowered falsely by finasteride, PC-SPES (see the ARCHIVES for exposes on this) and other toxic drugs and supplements. The PSA is an inaccurate and unreliable diagnostic test plain and simple. Also the serum DHT (dihydrotestosterone) level was lowered by 67%. That’s sound great, right? Well, the problem is that serum DHT has nothing to do with BPH, prostatitis or cancer. That’s right, serum DHT is meaningless and has been shown to be so for decades now. Lowering your serum DHT does nothing at all. The problem is DHT BINDING to the prostate, not how much is in your blood. Having youthful levels of real testosterone help prevent the DHT from binding to the prostate. Taking beta-sitosterol also helps prevent DHT binding to the prostate. If you have prostate disease of any kind or want to prevent being a part of the epidemic of prostate disease you have to change your diet. You have to take FAT out of your diet, especially the saturated fat in meat, poultry, eggs, milk and dairy products. You should be taking at least 20 natural supplements if you are over 40 including beta-sitosterol, beta glucan, vitamins D and E, Complete Minerals, flax oil, quercitin, curcumin, soy isoflavones, milk thistle, CoQ10 and others. You need to test your testosterone and DHEA levels. You need to take melatonin and pregnenolone and use progesterone cream. You need to test your levels of estradiol and estrone to see if they are high.

The worlds a funny place and money talks. ""The Merck drug finasteride (PROSCAR) was found to reduce prostate cancer occurrence by 25% compared to placebo in men who participated in the 7-year NCI study.""

Re: Hounty said: BobTheBuilder said :`` or want to prevent being a part of the epidemic of prostate disease you have to change your diet.

My first cousin(she is a nurse BTW) from Romania a few years ago, together with some docs made some research about cancers in a village somewhere in the Fagaras mountains. Every household there has land where they grow their own chickens,cows,pigs,etc they work their own farms.So what they eat everyday is eggs,veggies,bread,pork meat ,chickens,whole milk right under the cow , they make their own cheese,they smoke a lot of pork meat and that fat from the pigs belly what they can eat the whole year .(yummy stuff) My cousin noticed that they eat very much fat generally ,most pig fat.
Back to the research i can remember for sure that nobody in that village (like 4 thousand people) ever had prostate cancer. They even looked up the local docs records and there was no prostate cancer.Other cancers yes but no prostate. You would expect to find much more prostate cancer ?Dont you? So much fat and eggs and milk etc and no prostate cancer strange isnt it ?

Hounty, total agree but there are many factors i bet with the village, i bet there food is organic type? I think most diseases are from the food we intake (steroids, genetics mod's etc..) if we were to eat like some of the asains that are away from the western world i dont think we would suffer from all the crap and live 120+ years. I read many studies where animals are pulled from the wild then are diseased with cancer, but there have been no cases in the wild, its all food related. I think high is bad fats are bad, and high in sugar is the worst. I come from a ethnic background our foods are all meat e.g. no salad, ask them for a salad and all you get is onions lol

BobTheBuilder - The reasoning behind the aggressive cancer growths involver the severe inhibition of DHT. DHT naturally metabolizes into 3-beta androstanediol, which resolves cellular disturbances brought on by DHT which also brings forth protection against prostate cancer. Estrogen and Prolactin are part of the problem with prostate cancer. It's also linked with insulin resistance. Only refined, processed foods contribute of course. A lack of Selenium in the diet is another biggie. Anyway, when DHT is suppressed, 3-beta androstanediol is also suppressed which removes a natural protection, because 3-beta androstanediol stops negative cellular disturbances associated with Prostate cancer. Flax and/or 7-HMR lignans are protective against prostate cancer, so there are alternatives to 5-AR drugs.
