    Finasteride Causes Almost 800% More Prostate Cancer! -Roger Mason

    For years your author has been telling men not to get any standard medical treatments for prostate disease including drugs, surgery, and radiation. There are two main drugs given to men with BPH (enlarged prostates)- finasteride (Proscar®) to reduce alpha reductase, and a muscle relaxer Hytrin® that has nothing at all to do with the prostate. Men should never, never, never take either of these drugs as they do not help at all, and have serious side effects. You actually end up worse by taking them.  
     
    Now we find out just how much worse you end up. A study done by the famous Norris Cancer Center at the University of Southern California (British Journal of Cancer, v. 78, 1998) studied 52 real men with BPH. The Norris Cancer Institute is a very allopathically oriented organization that is most reluctant to criticize traditional medicine like this. The study occurred ten five ago, yet the media never covered it. This is the only place you're ever going to read about it. Why didn't the 6:00 news, your favorite magazines, the newspapers, and television shows tell you about this most important study? Your doctor does not know about it, and won't read it if you give it to him. This was a classic double blind study where half the men were given a mere 5 mg of finasteride and half were given placebos (sugar pills). This study was reviewed and approved by the University of Southern California, School of Medicine Institutional Review Board.  
     
    In only one year the men who got the finasteride had almost 800% more prostate carcinoma (specifically "adenocarcinoma")!!! That's right folks, almost 800% more prostate cancer tumors in only one year. God only knows what would have happened if they had kept taking the poison. What would have happened after five years?  
     
    Yet the men who took the finasteride lowered their PSA levels by a full 48%. They literally cut their PSA levels in half, but got almost eight times the cancer tumors! For years this column has been telling men not to even bother getting a PSA test as it is almost meaningless and can be very misleading. Well, here's the proof- the PSA was slashed in half while the cancer rate skyrocketed almost 800%. The PSA can easily be raised falsely by a mere mild infection. The PSA can easily be lowered falsely by finasteride, PC-SPES (see the library for an expose on this) and other toxic drugs and supplements. The PSA is an inaccurate and unreliable diagnostic test plain and simple.  
     
    Also the serum DHT (dihydrotestosterone) level was lowered by 67%. That's sound great, right? Well, the problem is that serum DHT has nothing to do with BPH, prostatitis or cancer. That's right, serum DHT is meaningless and has been shown to be so for decades now. Lowering your serum DHT does nothing at all. The problem is DHT BINDING to the prostate, not how much is in your blood. Having youthful levels of real testosterone helps prevent the DHT from binding to the prostate. Taking beta-sitosterol also helps prevent DHT binding to the prostate.  
     
    If you have prostate disease of any kind or want to prevent being a part of the epidemic of prostate disease you have to change your diet. You have to take FAT out of your diet, especially the saturated fat in meat, poultry, eggs, milk, and dairy products. When you read my book The Natural Prostate Cure you'll see an international chart based on billions of men showing that fat intake is second only to age in causing prostate cancer.  
     
    Please read Zen Macrobiotics for Americans. You should be taking at least 20 natural supplements if you are over 40 including beta-sitosterol, beta glucan, vitamins D and E, All Your Minerals, flax oil, lipoic acid, soy isoflavones, CoQ10, and others.  
     
    You need to test your testosterone and DHEA levels. You need to take melatonin and pregnenolone, and use progesterone cream. You need to test your levels of estradiol and estrone to see if they are high. Test your free T3 and T4 without a doctor for $85 at

    with panel 2 thyroid. Your blood sugar should be 85 or less instead of testing insulin. Cholesterol (it's a hormone) about 150, and triglycerides under 100.  
     
    The only real cure for any cancer is natural medicine, not allopathy. Always remember diet is everything, diet cures disease, diet cures cancer.
