Protect Your Prostrate Without Sexual Side Effects
This year thousands of men will be diagnosed with BPH (Benign Prostrate Enlargement) or Prostrate Cancer. According to statistics, 1 out of every 2 males will suffer with BPH, and worse yet, 1 out of six will be diagnosed with some form or prostrate cancer within their lifetimes. In 2008 over 28,000 deaths were attributed to prostrate cancer, making it the 2nd leading cause of cancer deaths in males.
There are several clinically proven interventions that are discussed in this article that you can use to provide a multi-faceted targeted approach to deterring Prostrate problems. Best of all they work quite effectively, and without the side effects often experienced with prescription medications such as sexual dysfunction.. These more natural methods work in various ways to disrupt prostrate disease at every stage of development. Prostrate patients are, in fact, often advised by their Physicians to consider the sexual side effects before starting a course of treatment with prescription drugs.
Saw Palmetto remains the leading fighter in providing natural prostate defense. The extract derivatives of the plant work in several ways to promote prostate health. First they inhibit the production of DHT a hormone that increases prostate growth and possibly promotes cancer. They also bind to DHT receptors preventing them from being as destructive. Next, they block certain transmitters that cause lower urinary tract discomfort.
In 18 clinical trials studying the effects of Saw Palmetto on 2,939 men, Saw Palmetto reduced urinary tract symptoms and increased urine flow more effectively than the placebos. The subjects taking Saw Palmetto also experienced significantly less nocturnal (nighttime urination). In a double blind study 60% of men receiving the supplement showed significant improvement. Additionally, by combining Saw Palmetto with other extracts such as Nettle Root and Pygeum Africanum (African Plum Tree Bark) the results were even more impressive.
Scientists discovered that when used in combination with Saw Palmetto, Nettle Root also helps regulate hormone activity in Prostrate tissue. I also has the ability to reduce inflammatory response and provides potent antimicrobial effects. Nettle has demonstrated its abilities in controled clinical studies to both counter and reverse the effects of BPH. When used together with Saw Palmetto, this synergistic combination has been shown to attack cancer cell membranes and slow the growth of tumor cells without noticeable side effects.
Food such as Flax which contain high amounts of lignans also help fight prostrate cancer. Research shows a remarkable reduction in tumor proliferation in only 30 days in prostrate cancer patients whose diets were supplemented with Flax. Another treatment for supporting prostrate health that is widely used in Europe as a standard therapy is Pygenum Africanum. This compound has also been found to be highly effective in fighting BPH. Lycopene, which is derived from tomatoes, is valued for its ability to protect against DNA damage and decrease the risk of cancer.
Each one of these defenses have been shown to be effective, and to provide a multitude of benefits and protection against BPH. However, when used in combination they provide a uniquely synergistic effect on prostrate tissue and gene expression in the ever continuing battle to protect the health of the prostrate.
