Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / May 2008Voodoo Medicine Survey
So what "Voodoo Medicines" are others taking and why? I take 1 oz of Pomegranate juice a day because of the study that showed it kept PSA down after radiation and 1 - 1000mg Flax Seed Oil Capsule... I forget why. I also take three cranberry capsules to ward off urinary tract infections, nexium for reflux, two aspirins for arthritis, and flomax for urinary frequency and retention. I eat unhealthily since I figure I'd rather die of that :-)  SignatureDedman ** Posted from http://www.teranews.com ** > Flax Seed Oil Capsule Flax seed oil is great stuff, highly advisable for several reasons ... except for prostate cancer patients, whose affliction it feeds.

Mine don't. > I eat unhealthily since I figure I'd rather die of that If it weren't for your nym and your circumstances, I'd take exception to that. But at some point we may as well live on ice cream and pizza.

I.P. - I believe there are as many who espouse your opinion on flaxseed oil as argue the opposite view. -Les >> Flax seed oil is great stuff, highly advisable for several reasons ... >> except for prostate cancer patients, whose affliction it feeds.

Could be, but when the two top gurus on the more scientific cancer newsgroups (Matti Narkia and "the other guy" whose name I forget) debated Omega 3 fatty acids' impact on PC at great length and in great detail a year ago, the one thing they most agreed on was that PC pts must avoid flax. That's good enough for me; YMMV. Many people support many supplements without proof, so I form my opinions not on the number of supporters but on their reputation and their sources. Narkia and "the other guy" (sorry, but I haven't visited those forums in a long time) are highly respected and cited many references in detail, to the point I chucked all my new flax seeds and stowed the grinder until the research swings the other way again. They agreed to disagree on walnuts, close to the fence but on opposite sides, so I still eat those but in lesser quantity. I.P. to the point I chucked all my new flax seeds and > stowed the grinder until the research swings the other way again. > > I.P. I.P.- There, apparently, is a big diff between flax seeds and flaxseed oil. Those who say the oil is good, say the seeds are not. Who knows? -Les > to the point I chucked all my new flax seeds and >> stowed the grinder until the research swings the other way again.

The benefits and pitfalls (and the debates) of flax are in its oil; the fiber we can get many ways. I.P.

That's good enough for me; YMMV. Well, MM most certainly varies with regard to Narkia. Google shows him/her as an "IT Consultant" with various posts and an argument with one Steve Harris on health subjects. See, frex, http://www.naymz.com/search/matti/narkia/1005708 > Many people support many supplements without proof, so I form my > opinions not on the number of supporters but on their reputation and > their sources. Narkia and "the other guy" (sorry, but I haven't visited > those forums in a long time) are highly respected.... By whom? Regards, Steve J "What are the facts? Again and again and again -- what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore divine revelation, forget 'what the stars foretell,' avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable 'verdict of history' -- what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your single clue. Get the facts!" --Lazarus Long > So what "Voodoo Medicines" are others taking and why? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > ** Posted fromhttp://www.teranews.com** On a daily basis I take Pomegranate concentrate, about a tablespoon in a glass of OJ along with about a quarter of a teaspoon of turmeric powder to wash down the 1000 milligram tablet of Dr. Weil's Vitamin D and fish oil supplements. That's about all I take but the things I've eliminated are far greater including Flaxseed because of the Omega 6 aka ALA. WhiteSoxFan We are built to eat, fruit, nuts,meat,fish,vegies, and drink water.....and then some..... What happened was the industrializastion of farming, and the processing of grain. Mass production, Super Markets.......no more hunter gatherer...... we do not use our bodies as much..... Yes we live longer than the hunter and gatherer. We live longer than many in the 1900's We want to live even longer....... Most of us on this group have outlived our great great grandparents... I am not sure what the magic food is. I am sure it is not McDonalds and Denny's I know moderation is some of the best medicine regardless of what we eat. Anyway, I try to eat well, and do have my weakness....... jloomis > So what "Voodoo Medicines" are others taking and why? > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > rather > die of that :-) |
