A study found that almost four in ten patients (36%) with aggressive prostate cancer did not need planned surgery or radiotherapy after making simple lifestyle changes.

Doctors found that the adjustments slowed down or even halted the progression of their disease.

And they claim that there is no reason that the benefits could not be seen in other types of cancer.

The study done at Addenbrooke’s hospital, Cambridgeshire, with 110 men, showed that diet and lifestyle changes have a profound effect in prevention and treatment of prostate cancer – and probably other cancers as well.

Changes made included cutting down on salt and alcohol, eating more oily fish, losing weight and taking moderate amounts of regular exercise. One of the patients also took pomegranate juice, and was surprised with the positive results. Pomegranate is a highly-regarded Ayurvedic medicine, and is very high in antioxidants. Another herb used for prostate problems in Ayurveda is Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris).

It has been long known that cancer can be prevented – and treated – with simple lifestyle changes and herbs. The medical establishment – including the health agencies – have long fought against promoters of simple natural remedies for cancer. When these agencies talk about “prevention” of cancer, they mean mammograms and tests – what kind of prevention is that?

In order for real progress to be made in the cancer epidemic – for cancer is a real epidemic, and not fabricated ones like “Bird Flu” – our governments need to educate the public about diet, lifestyle and comprehensive approaches to health. Please let the new government know that you want more proactive prevention of cancer.
