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.
One of the primary natural defenses against prostrate disease is Saw Palmetto.
The plant extracts from Saw Palmetto work in numerous ways to promote prostate health and deter cancer.
This is accomplished first by inhibiting the production of DHT, a hormone that promotes prostate and growth as well as cancer.
These plant derivatives also bind to DHT receptors, limiting their destructiveness.
Saw Palmetto also reduces the pain of lower urinary tract discomfort by blocking certain transmitter and reducing inflammation.
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.
Nettle Root when used in combination with Saw Palmettos also helps regulate hormone activity in Prostrate tissues.
Another benefits include it's powerful antimicrobial properties and its ability to reduce inflammation.
Best of all, this is all accomplished without the toxicity experienced with pharmaceuticals.
Nettle has demonstrated in clinical trials its abilities to counteract the effects of BPH and to even reverse it.
When paired up with Saw Palmetto, they even more effectively attack cancer cell membranes and retard cancer growth.
Foods high in plant lignans such as Flax may also help in preventing prostate cancer.
Clinical studies reveal that diets that were supplemented with Flax showed favorable reduction in tumor proliferation within just 30 days in men suffering with prostate cancer.
Another effective compound for supporting prostate health and defending against BPH is Pygenum Africanum, which is now widely used in Europe as a standard therapy.
Additionally, Lycopene (found in tomatoes) has been associated with decreased cancer risk and protection against DNA damage.
Each of these natural defenses works in uniquely different ways to provide multiple benefits and effective protection.
When used in combination, they synergistically have a direct impact on prostate tissue and provide a powerful modulation of gene expression and protection against BPH and prostate cancer.
