Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / July 2005to Ed Friedman
Ed: Re: your paper describing your model of Prostate Cancer. It makes the reference "....along with avoiding foods known to have components that selectively bind to ER-β." You may have discussed this in the past, but as a relative newcome to this list I missed it- specifically what foods or food groups are the ones to avoid? Thanks Sam wrote: > Ed: > Re: your paper describing your model of Prostate Cancer. It makes the [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Thanks Sam, The main food to avoid is soy. Basically, if you don't have prostate cancer and take soy all of your life, then there is almost no chance of getting prostate cancer (which is why Japan has the lowest rate in the world). However, if you already have any prostate cancer cells in you, soy will decrease the rate of apoptosis (by increasing bcl-2), resulting in a faster net doubling time for the cancer. A more complete list of what to avoid is at: http://www.prostatepointers.org/leibowitz/vitaminlist.10103.html search for Genistein and read the next 2 paragraphs. Ed Friedman Dear Ed: I read some of your postings and found them to be of most interest. I am 53 and in good health. Was dx last August and had RRLP in December. All organ contained and PSA levels undetectable so far. I am somewhat confused as to which vitamins to take now. I've read your suggestions in your vitamin report, but this appeared to me as someone who has an advanced case of PC and is still undergoing treatments. Does this vitamin suggestion report still apply to someone with undetectable PSA readings and undergoing no further treatments? Of course, I am very interested in the apoptosis of any lingering cells. Thank you. PS: I am and always have worked out and exercised, keep my weight at ideal levels, eat properly and took vitamins all of my life. Go figure... > Dear Ed: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > PS: I am and always have worked out and exercised, keep my weight at > ideal levels, eat properly and took vitamins all of my life. Go figure... Bob, The most important vitamins to take now are probably lycopene and Vitamin E complex plus selenium. The most important food to avoid is soy, but unless you are taking a 5AR2 inhibitor (e.g. propecia), then a little soy probably would be ok. The real problem is keeping your hormones at an ideal level. Ideally, you want high T, low DHT, and low E(like ordinary teenagers have). As you age, men's hormones levels tend to go in the opposite direction from the ideal. Unfortunately, ordinary doctors do not concern themselves with such things, but there are some doctors out there that do. Good luck, Ed Friedman |
