RE: Diet

[Guest guest]

Well as a side note, one of my hobbies is

motorcycle touring. Especially now when a lot of thoughts enter my mind hoping

onto the Goldwing and taking a long ride does wonders for my attitude and

clears my head. When I talk to other people about it I always hear about

how dangerous it is to ride a motorcycle. This even comes from my wife.

My pat answer now (and I feel that I can say this) is “people die of

cancer too” I do like the “curing myself of prostate

cancer” answer too.

Well, of course, there was an old joke among the more

politically incorrect members of a departed List along the lines that the only

sure cure for prostate cancer was death from another cause. One of the real

larrikins on that site was attending a conference and at one of the breaks he

was outside having a smoke (this was before smoking was banned outside!). One

of the doctors castigated him saying that he would kill myself with that habit,

to which our boy responding “Don’t worry doc, I’m trying to

cure myself of prostate cancer!” Curiously enough, he

subsequently did die, but of neither prostate nor lung cancer.

But that’s why I joke on the story on my website ( http://www.yananow.net/Mentors/TerryH.htm

) that I was almost cured in 2005 when I had a heart failure episode and I

guess it is a toss-up which condition will get me first. Hence my desire to

wring what I can out of the wonderful time I have now, rather than worry too

much about the future.

All the best

Don't foget

Terry, that 100% of people who develop prostate cancer have breathed air. The

one sure way to get rid of prostate cancer is to stop breathing.

I make

it a rule never to eat natural foods. I know too many people

who died of " natural causes " .

(Sorry, I couldn't help myself :^)

I'm not an expert on this however, if I understand him correctly,

Dr. " Snuffy " Myers, a leading expert in the U.S.,

recommends a Mediterranean diet.

Also, as I understand it, most of what we know about healthy

diets for cancer is basically the same as healthy diets in

general, e.g., for cardiac health.

There are some supplements that have been advanced as good for

prostate cancer patients. Some I've heard about are pomegranate

extract (or maybe better, pomegranate juice), lycopene, vitamin D

(in moderate quantities, you can get too much of that), fish oil,

and maybe others.

However the evidence for all of these is kind of weak. I'm not

aware of any large scale clinical trials and some of the

supplements that have been claimed to be beneficial by some

researchers are claimed to be of no value by others.
