FAQ: Prostate Cancer Prevention and Lycopene

lastly my family has a history of prostate cancer with my paternal grandfather having passed away about 18 years ago and recently my dad living with it. My dad was diagnosed about 8 years ago with a PSA level of over 600, should be below 10 or below 5 really, but has managed to bring it down to normal levels. Good stuff. Obviously with his history and his family I'm concerned about myself. I haven't been tested yet and intend on being tested this year, sooner rather than later. Good. Are there methods I can put in place now with regards to my diet, supplementation and medical tests to ensure I give myself the best chance of staying cancer free and before you answer that once again apologies for the long message but it's a long it's such a breath of fresh air knowing we have the likes of yourselves and ATP Science trying to better us all through natural means and products. P.S. Steve being an endurance runner should look at doing the two oceans Cape Town and Comrades. I think that's 50 miles. Yeah do it. Oh The marathon's 26th You know I chased my lions And everything In that one Oh jeez I'd love to Every time you just start Dealing tired You hear this Stick crack behind you Yeah You never really Slow down In a marathon You feel like giving up At about 30k You've had it by then You know what I'm going to do I'm going to come with you And I'm going to go On the side road And you know Everyone else has given out Like cups of water I'm going to come out Of the bushes with a lion And see how fast you go Well, that's what you need at that time of the race. Anything. Anywho. Now, let's answer this question before I forget, because this is a bloody good question. It is. For starters, before I forget, keep running and don't turn to cycling. Don't start doing triathlons if you're worried about your prostate. I know I'm not talking about the Lance Armstrong protocols. You'll get prostate for totally different reasons. But the actual process of sitting on a bike seat has been linked in with prostate. So keep running and don't sit. Ever. No. He does. so what's really important in this situation what's really funny about running and i've got some crazy odd case studies of the healthiest people i knew that were the sickest people i knew because they're constantly running next to the road and they're sucking in all those leads and mercuries and cadmiums and cadmium in particular massive link prostate yeah um and so what you need to do is make sure you always got heaps of zinc and selenium in your system to chelate these heavy metals before they get in and screw around your systems you also need good antioxidants because exposure to these compounds stimulate your cytochrome P450s because they're toxins. Those cytochrome P450s includes fofo reductase and aromatase which we mentioned earlier that will convert your testosterone to estrogen and dihydro and it's those things that cause prostate problems not testosterone which is why teenagers don't get it. So what you need heaps of zinc and selenium. Now this is what I used to say in my clinics. Any bloke used to come into my naturopath clinic around the 40s I would start doing this

Three to four Brazil nuts every day. Snacking on handfuls of pumpkin seeds, any chance you get. So pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts will give you the zinc and selenium you need. And then what I used to tell them to do is get a tablespoon of organic tomato paste and mix it with about a teaspoon of turmeric and add that to a little bit of water and smack that every day. Or put that into something or try to cook with it. If you don't cook with it, then you've got to drink it. That's great. So the three to four Brazil nuts, the pumpkin seeds, the tomato paste and the turmeric. So the tomato paste contains a compound called lycopene. And in men, prostate is pretty much a lycopene reservoir. So the more lycopene you have, that's the red part in tomatoes and watermelons and that. It soaks up into the prostate and a very powerful antioxidant. In women, it accumulates in the breast tissue and can prevent... What the hell are you doing? I was just giving... because people don't know where breasts are. So when I mentioned prostate and your hand disappeared off the top of the desk, what the hell were you doing? I was showing him the prostate, you know. I was going to stand up and do it. But anyway so man it so much more fun when Jeff not part of the FAQs We give away a heap of shit and we carry on like pork chops Because you seen how pork chops carry on We giving away our naturopathic licenses I think Oh, yeah, yeah. Anyway, so yeah, do that. Tomato paste, turmeric, zinc and selenium. Otherwise, you can do things like multi-food or the ZMST for the zinc, selenium. And we don't have anything like lycopene, but anything red and colourful, we'll eat a lot of those. And quarter X for the turmeric. Keep off dairy food. Just do that. multi-food yep everyone needs to be on multi-food of course they do that's a new t-shirt keep off dairy the IGF-1 in dairy is very pro-cancer prostate yeah huge study in 2015 showing that so that was really cool yeah that was a good one thanks Guy Ranger love your name have we got time for one more no no no we haven't no alright well yeah because that was three I guess yeah so we'll do it next time yeah alright well thanks for having us and we'll see you next time thanks for listening And remember, question everything. Well, except what we say.
