* [[Selenium]] : This beneficial mineral counters a variety of cancers. In James Howenstine’s book, A Physicians Guide to Natural Health Products That Work, studies showed that patients receiving selenium had a 67% decrease in cancer of the prostate, a 58% decrease in prostate of the colon or rectal cancer, and a 45% decrease in lung cancer.Selenium is a powerful antioxidant that is found abundantly in brazil nuts, pumpkin seeds, and in lesser amounts in garlic, broccoli, and whole grains.
* [[Vitamin D]] : Receiving 10-15 minutes sunlight is a powerful way to prevent prostate cancer. According to a previous study mentioned in Mercola, men with higher levels of Vitamin D in their blood were half as likely to develop aggressive forms of the cancer as those with lower amounts.
* Epidemiological studies have found that increased consumption of Allium vegetables ([[onions]], garlic, [[leeks]] and scallions) is associated with lower risk of [[gastric Cancer]] and prostate Cancer.
* [[Sulforaphane]] is a phytochemical created when you chew raw broccoli and other cruciferous plants[[Cruciferous Vegetables]]. It inhibits the growth of prostate cancer cells.
* [[Green Tea]] : The natural polyphenol in green tea known as ECGC has been shown to be particularly effective in lowering risk of a host of cancer cell lines including prostate, colon, esophagus, bladder and pancreas.
* [[Omega-3 fatty acids]] in the form of [[flaxseed]]s (which are rich in [[lignans]] and promote prostate health) can be incredibly beneficial. A large study found that men with higher enterolactone levels (found in flax seeds) were up to 72% less likely to get prostate cancer than those with the lowest levels. Along with a low-fat, plant-based diet, omega-3’s from flax seeds or only wild-caught, cold-water fish can drastically reduce a man’s chance of developing cancer of the prostate.
* [[Ginger]] (zingiber officinale) kills human prostate cancer cells while healthy prostate cells do not die.
* [[Coffee]] contains hundreds of biologically active compounds, including potent antioxidant activity, the most unique antioxidant being methylpridinium. Methylpridinium is found almost exclusively in coffee. It has anticancer properties for colon cancer and prostate cancer.
* [[Tomatoes]] : alpha-tomatine is a phytonutrient that can change how prostate cancer cells develop; alpha-tomatine also causes developed cancer cells to cause suicide, which is a positive concept when wanting to prevent cancer.
* [[Pygeum]] is used for treating symptoms of enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia, BPH) and prostate cancer.
* [[Lycopene]] ((found in Tomatoesanti-oxidant rich red fruits such as tomatoes, raspberries, and watermelon) is particularly effective in fighting [[Breast Cancer]] and Prostate Cancer, [[Ovarian Cancer]], [[Cervical Cancer]], and [[Colon Cancer]]. That's because lycopene accumulates in prostate tissue.* [[Boron]] : If you’re concerned about developing prostate cancer, consider supplementing Boron. Studies show that boron can reduce prostate cancer by 54%. Boron compounds inhibit the activity of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and inhibits prostate cancer cell proliferation while allowing normal prostate cells to grow.* [[Red Cabbage ]] : A study on red cabbage shows that its glucosinolate compound can prevent a variety of cancers including Prostate Cancer, [[Colon Cancer]], [[Breast Cancer]] and [[Bladder Cancer]]. It also contains omega-3 fatty acids, folate, manganese, dietary fiber and magnesium – all of which are strong cancer-fighting nutrients.
* frequent ejaculations — defined as 21 or more a month as opposed to 4 to 7 a month — were linked to lower prostate cancer for men of all ages.
* [[Guava]] : Lycopene consumption of [[Guava]] is associated with significantly lower rates of Prostate Cancer.
* [[Avocado]]es are effective in preventing mouth and skin cancer, as well as prostate cancers.
* [[Oregano]] contains carvacrol. This compound is found in an array of plants and herbs including wild bergamot, thyme and pepperwort. But it’s most abundant in oregano. Carvacrol induces apoptosis or cell suicide in prostate cells. The higher the concentration, the more cell death.
* [[Vitamin D]]3 helps prevent prostate cancer.
* [[Resveratrol]] might be used to create a cure for even the most aggressive prostate cancers.
* [[Walnut]] : Beneficial fats and antioxidants present in walnuts significantly lower incidence of prostate and breast cancer lines.
* Plumbagin, an active constituent found in [[Plumbago Zeylanica]], Juglans regia ([[English Walnut]]), Juglans cinerea (Whitenut) and Juglans nigra (Blacknut), has found to inhibit the growth and invasion of hormone refractory prostate cancer cells.
* [[Red Clover]] isoflavones at 25.0 microg/ml induced the apoptosis of the prostate stromal cells.
* [[Mind/Body Approaches]] : According to a variety of sources, prostate cancer is linked with severe frustration, sexual conflict, and feeling less than worthy (common with today’s skewed stereotype of ‘manhood’). A lack of energy in the sacral chakra can manifest as reproductive issues for both sexes, and to move through the limitations such beliefs can cause, changing one’s thinking must become a priority. Stating affirmations three times a day, such as “I love and accept myself unconditionally”, “I am completely healed, loved, and accept my sexuality”, or “I am a beautiful, healthy, and balanced in all ways” are examples one may adopt if they feel called.
