There is no mystery about the cause of prostate cancer, it has many causes and they are well known. Our treatments now days never deal with the reasons why it first grew but instead only focus on remove the growths themselves, which is often of little help. Dealing with it naturally means finding the reasons why it grew and removing them which is a far more effective way than just removing growths.

Prostate cancer like all cancers are self caused and it’s far more important to search for those causes and remove them instead of just treating it. This approach will then strengthen the body to assist in removing the cancer naturally. The more you choose to get involved and be proactive about your health the greater a difference you can make to the successful outcome of the disease.

Prostate cancer doesn’t have a single cause, it has many causes. Factors that contribute to it are; a diet high in saturated fats which is mostly found in red meat, high fat dairy products and carcinogenic substances in our processed food, nutrition deficiencies because of our wrong food choices, our sedentary lifestyle which is our lack of exercise and toxins we use everyday in the form of chemicals.

A big contributing factor to prostate cancer is the consumption of processed meat or pressed meats which contain the food additives sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite. These two food additives are also contained in hotdogs, sausages, hamburgers and ham. It is legally used to stop bacteria forming so to extend the products shelf life. Another cause is diets low in fruit and vegetables, most of which contain cancer fighting properties.

Our treatments today concentrate only on symptoms which is the growths themselves and that doesn’t actually do a lot to help a patient regain the level of health necessary to keep the cancer from returning. There is no question that treating prostate cancer naturally is far more effective because natural ways deal with the reasons that first caused it to grow and when you do that the body will self heal through the immune system.

The majority of this type of cancer is slow growing and will seldom pose a threat to someone’s health, especially if that person is elderly. Screening for the disease has become controversial in recent years, especially with the PSA test which can be highly irregular. Doctors have expressed concern that large numbers of men are being subjected to severe side effects which are incontinence and impotence.

There are many changes one can make to help overcome prostate cancer and some simple dietary changes are a great start. For instance tomatoes have been described as a prostates best friend because of the lycopene they contain and it is common knowledge that both tomatoes and broccoli when eaten together can significantly improve the survival rate of someone. Also increase your consumption of omega 3 fatty acids which are found in flax seed oil, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil and avocados.

Because it is slow growing, there is no need to panic and that will give you time to learn a little and choose your treatment options. Treating cancer naturally won’t work without a proper "anti-cancer diet." There are many vegetables, fruits, nuts, grains, etc. that actually contain nutrients that kill cancer cells and stopping it from spreading.

There is no mystery about prostate cancer, if you want to live free of the disease you must make changes and eat fresh food, which is food in its natural state, eat in moderation and take adequate exercise. Treating it naturally is far more effective whether the cancer has metastasized or not.
