Cancer of prostate is extremely common as men grow older. Controversy surrounds various treatment modalities. If the patient receives treatment, a rising PSA level after treatment for cancer prostate is a marker for disease recurrence.
Dr. Saxe and colleagues from University of California, San Diego sought to examine if a plant-based diet plus stress management training could be beneficial to the patients.
A rise of PSA level was used a marker for disease progression. Fourteen patients with recurrent prostate cancer were recruited for this 6-month trial. The authors published their findings in Sept 2006.
Is It Leaky Gut or Leaky Gut Syndrome?
These investigators found that the rate of PSA rise decreased significantly as a result of the intervention suggesting less progression or worsening of disease. In fact, median PSA doubling time increased from 11.9 months before the study to 112 months during the intervention period.
This pilot study confirms the negative impact of western diet on the prostate cancer and further reinforces the importance of plant food as a natural anti-cancer intervention.
What are your thoughts on predominantly plant food diet versus western diet? Do you know of anyone who may have benefited from diet intervention?
