The debate
surrounding the effectiveness of using natural cures for prostate
cancer has gone on for quite some time. Although some people are
advocating the use of herbal medicines and other natural processes
in treating cancer, most of the scientific community is still
hesitant to endorse such options.
According to some medical societies, natural cures for prostate
cancer are not accurately termed since these natural procedures and
materials cannot really cure cancer but are mostly used to improve
the quality of life of cancer patients. Natural treatment methods
are usually based on proper nutrition. Herbs, vitamins, minerals and
antioxidants are the most common basic ingredients of these
so-called natural cures.
Most natural
treatment options are based on herbs or antioxidants. In studies
advocating the use of natural methods for treating prostate cancer,
saw palmetto is often highlighted. This herb is primarily known for
its anabolic properties and is more commonly used in treating benign
prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). The herb operates by inhibiting the
synthesis of growth-stimulating dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and
promoting DHT elimination through the lowering of estrogen levels.
According to several clinical studies, saw palmetto is actually more
effective in treating enlarged prostate than the prescribed drug,
Proscar. These studies also argue that using the herb is better than
using Proscar since the latter is more expensive and is associated
with several side effects that include erectile dysfunction.
Another popular
herbal remedy promoted by a number of studies is pygeum. Pygeum is
an indigenous African remedy derived from tree bark. This herbal
remedy contains chemicals that inhibit DHT synthesis and is often
used to treat enlarged prostate. Aside from saw palmetto and pygeum,
there is another herbal remedy that has become popular among natural
cure advocates, and this is Cernilton. This herbal product is
prepared from the extract of rye pollen and is used to treat BPH and
prostatitis. In some parts of the world, the herb stinging nettle is
also used to cure prostate disorders. This herb is marketed in the
Europe under the name Bazoton.
Some natural
remedies for prostate cancer and other prostate disorders use
antioxidants as their primary ingredients. Lycopene, resveratrol and
selenium are among some of the more common of these antioxidants.
Most herbal remedies or antioxidant-based cures are marketed as
supplements since absolute confirmation of their ability to cure
cancer has yet to be issued by medical and health authorities.
The
effectiveness of natural cures for prostate cancer has not yet been
fully agreed on and some medical societies still oppose the use of
these remedies. Nevertheless, advocates of these methods are
continuously promoting them as treatment options for cancer.
