I am informed that cooking tomatoes for a considerable time (as with home cooked Italian style pasta sauces) enables greater absorption of its lycopene content, although I agree that it is best to get raw vegetables and fruit daily.

I'm curious why Dr. Mercola didn't mention Iodine supplementation for prostate cancer. According to the book by Dr. Brownstein iodine helps prevent thyroid, breast, prostate, uterine, ovarian, etc... cancers and can treat them. It's also great for getting rid of either uterine or breast fibroids, and preventing thyroid problems.

It is proven with dogs that prostate cancer is linked to over feeding, yet so is every other disease. Not so much what you eat, it is the amount. Fasting is a great idea 1-2 days week.

I recently found a website that has many testimonials from forum members who overcame advanced cancers of various types with a diet and lifestyle plan that has been helping people with many health conditions. The site is at http://www.budwigvideos.com Click on Testimonials in the Menu. There are several messages from people who had either breast cancer or prostate cancer as well as others.

I agree with the part that says to reduce exposure to heavy metals and toxins. That is another biggie in my book for prevention of cancers.

Once again, Dr. Mercola shows exactly what to avoid, but I am confused as to what eat. Although I have not been his patient, I strongly believe I am a protein type. But because of what I've learned here and elsewhere, I've eliminated processed meat and all fish from my diet. Problem is, what is left as a protein source? Eggs are nutritious, but not filling (I have two without even noticing.) No, I don't know any farmers who will sell me half a steer that I wouldn't want anyway: I love chicken and fish (esp. salmon), but hate red meat.

I do think meat is a pain to prepare and cook, and wonder about the ethics of consuming it, esp. rare species like the doctor's vaunted bison and ostrich, although I am happy to eat chicken and fish if I should and there's a healthful way to do it. I dramatically lowered my meat intake (to almost none) and the weight loss begun when gave up most carbs continued.

I'm now 140; for most of my adult life I was 190-195, but went up to 210 about 4 years ago, causing me to get serious about nutrition and start dropping weight. I suppose the weight loss was good, but my BMI is barely over the minimum, I'm always hungry, I am always scrambling for something to eat (because everything is toxic), I usually have a general weak feeling, and have no muscle tone and am barely able to lift anything substantial.

So I've eliminated the bad stuff, but what's good, esp. for a protein type? Specifically, something that would constitute a meal?

I've also looked at Gerald Cousens' site, but don't think the vegan thing is for me. It would be great to do, but I'm always so hungry!

Roger Mason has a book titled "the natural prostate cure" (from what i understand breast and prostate cancer respond similarly) The diet differs from what is recommended on this site but it is a worthwhile read. Close to a macrobiotic diet (more americanized) with many success stories. Much research and scientific studies behind it.

MySweetMary68, My best wishes go out to your sister for a recovery from the dreadful cancer. I left you a message.

Buffalo44, Almost, but not entirely true. There are many variables and it also depends on the methods used to reverse the damage from the cancer cells.

dhlibby, the site you recommeded has nothing to do with a rational approach to treating prostate cancer, and everything to do with the rantings of a very troubled and angry megalomaniac.

A comment to add to MySweetMary regarding breast cancer it is important to not only have anti estrogen foods like broccoli etc but also to find a source or bioidentical progesterone. Particularly if there is surgery it is critical to take progesterone prior to surgery as the level of progesterone is directly linked to the chance of recurrence after breast cancer surgery and seems to be that progesterone deals to any breakaway cancerous cells. Read John Lee's book Sex Lies and Menopause to understand the importance of progesterone in balancing against estrogen dominance. Cheers

Green Tea is mentioned in the article and by Doctor Mercola. I just wondered about the water as that would seem quite important to me. Wouldn't you want to be using distilled water or reverse osmosis, rather than tap water? I recently bought a water distiller and always shocked to see the stinking gunk and filth at the bottom of the machine after use.

Again it is diet, and lifestyle. What do we put in our mouths, or not. Do we have a balanced diet, or is our diet out of kilter? One would do well to keep the basics in mind with the thought of prostate cancer as well. Spiritual posture, diet, exercise sunshine, clean water, etc. But pay close attention to two events, your bodies pH, and an inflamed body.

What this all means is a good diet prevents a host of disorders.

What about saw palmetto? I don't know anyone who's used it, but many studies have shown it's beneficial for prostate cancer.

after some aggressive chiropractic adjustments on my neck i immediately noticed a strange thumping in the center of my chest that i never had previously. the problem started and has not left for 4 years now. i stopped going to the chiropractor because i believe it was caused by the adjustments. the thumping i feel is actually my heart skipping beats and the thump is a strong beat after it skips one. i also cannot lay on my left side to sleep because it makes it worse. i do not have any pain in my neck though. anyone know anything that may help. this has been very difficult to deal with.

Just a note. There is a direct quote and several mentions of studies in the the article. It would be nice if the "footnote" references were also provided for those of us who do not take such arbitrary comments at face vale. Thanks
