Risk Factors With Prostate Cancer

As we get older so does the risk for prostate cancer increase. Although it is said that the amount of deaths caused by prostate cancer has decreased during the past five years, studies have not shown results about improvement in survival.

There are many risk factors related to prostate cancer. First is a positive family history. Prostate cancer is said to increase two-fold if a first degree relative is affected and by four-fold if two or more are affected. More African males are affected because of increased levels of testosterone in this group.

Environmental factors also play a role. Also, high consumption of dietary fats in the form of alpha-linoleic acid, or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, which are found when red meats are cooked, is said to increase the risk.

Actual medical practice say that treatment of prostate cancer include GNRH analogues or drugs resembling gonadotropin releasing hormone, a hormone found in the pituitary gland. Estrogen and progesterone-like drugs are also given. Estrogens, the hormone secreted by the ovaries are now not being used because of the risk of side effects such as swelling, pulmonary embolism wherein a foreign body lodges on the artery of the lungs, and stroke. The GNRH analogues are associated with a sudden down regulation of hormone receptors, which leads symptoms such as hot flushes, weakness, fatigue, impotence, loss of muscle mass, changes in personality, anemia, depression and osteoporosis.

Given the numerous side effects of these drugs, there is a growing interest with regards to the use of PSC plant stem cells. Plant Stem Cells have the advantage of being less toxic than the therapies previously mentioned for prostate cancer.

Black Currant contains Indole acetic acid, which removes excess estrogen , and other components which disrupt estrogen receptors.

Black Elder contains beta-sitosterol which is used for lowering cholesterol and easing symptoms of prostate enlargement.

Boxwood contains linoleic acids, which decrease the risk for prostate cancer.

European Alder contains Emodin which interferes with the activity of androgen receptors. These androgen receptors when activated by pre-cancerous agents, known as oncogenes, leads to increased proliferation of cancer cells and growth of blood vessels which nourish and encourage the growth of cancer cells. Emodin stops these androgen receptors and encourages these caner cells to commit suicides buy a process known as apoptosis. Thus these cancer cells are killed before they can spread to other parts of the body. Chaste Tree plant stem cells reduce elevated prolactin, which may be a risk factor for prostate enlargement. Elm plant stem cells reduce cholesterol levels in the prostate.

Grey Alder plant stem cells suppress the NFKB protein which is activated in prostate cancer.
Oriental Plane tree plant stem cells inhibit estrogen and induce tumor cell death (apoptosis).
Auxins or plant hormones found plant stem cells stimulate an enzyme which makes estrogen less active.
If you are 70 years old and above and is at risk for prostate cancer, PSC plant stem cells therapy may be the answer to your future problems. Plant stem cells are the future of today's medicine-an all natural advancement with the freshness and healing wonders of Nature.
