Prostate Health

Cancer of the prostate and broccoli therapy was the buzz in US medical circles (and medical journals) from 2003 to 2004. Studies and opinions were being published all over the place proving cancer of the prostate and broccoli to be disease and cure.

One study published in a June 2003 issue of Journal of Biological Chemistry, reported that cruciferous veggies (i.e., broccoli, as well as cauliflower and kale) inhibit prostate cancer cell growth in humans. What?s more, they could even prevent cancer!

Cancer of the Prostate and Broccoli Treatment - How It Works

Cancer of the prostate and broccoli treatment is possible because the veggie contains phytochemicals that inhibit and prevent cancer in the prostate gland. Broccoli therapy has also proven effective in preventing cancers of the colon, breast, and endometrium.

Cruciferous veggies have a compound that is naturally converted by the human body into a potent male-hormone blocker. This is how prostate cancer cells are stopped from dividing and growing.

Cancer of the prostate and broccoli studies show that cancer cells treated with the compound showed 70% less growth than untreated cells.

Prostate and Broccoli Therapy With Tomatoes

The lycopene in tomatoes and tomato-based products, such as ketchup and tomato sauce, has long been proven to fight cancer.

But more new research is coming out that shows prostate and broccoli therapy is more effective if you eat lots of broccoli PLUS tomatoes. Studies show that this works so much better than just eating each veggie alone.

That?s why you?ll notice that lots of broccoli and lycopene extracts, sold as nutritional supplements, have flooded the market. Before you start buying these products, you should know that using them hasn?t been proven in clinical studies to have the same effect.

It?s also difficult to be certain what their manufacturers put in them. There?s no telling if any combination is harmful or beneficial as there is really no regulating body to deal with the accuracy manufacturer claims.

The FDA will only either require a disclaimer (e.g., no approved therapeutic claims) or say a product is safe for use without regulating effectiveness.

So the most practical thing for you to do (safety-wise AND price-wise) for your prostate and broccoli therapy is to buy fresh broccoli and tomatoes. Throw in some cauliflower and kale too!

Vary your recipes by using garlic, onions, or ginger, which by the way are powerful cancer fighting foods as well.

It?s also better if all your veggies are organically grown AND if you eat them raw.
