The father of a friend of mine has just been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his PSA is of 45, but till now there haven’t been any noticeable symptoms, and we were wondering how advanced the cancer would be…
The staging and prognosis for prostate Cancer is best determined by a biopsy interpreted by an oncologist. A PSA level of 45 sound like a lot, but the more important number will be the Gleason score from a biopsy, the number of cores affected from the biopsy sample, and the amount of involvement in each of the cores as a percentage. Other factors important to prognosis are the family history of the guy, and his age and general health condition.
While you are not expected to know what the doctor says to this fellow, you can just relax for now and be the kind attentive listener that your friend needs. The news is not great, but many men who have diagnosed prostate cancer eventually die from something else after living to a ripe old age. The PSA is not the whole answer and is much less important than the whole evaluation provided by the history of the fellow and the biopsy done.
The causes of limitation of motion are numerically legion. Statistically, mechanical factors account for approximately 90% primarily and is an accompanying secondary factor in many of the remaining cases. The physiology of ligamentous contracture is briefed in the preceding chapter. Sufficeth to say, strains and sprains may rent fascial tissues, but contrary to popular belief, this is seldom due to heavy lifting. Usually the patient does not know exactly when the injury occurred; it gradually became apparent over a period of time and frequently after a period of rest.
Pain supercedes movement; immobility causes more shortening and more spasm, thence more pain and a vicious cycle is initiated.
Differential Diagnosis
Remarks — It is not within the scope of this passage to detail each possible entity which could cause back pain. For the sake of brevity, general categories will be outlined and specific diseases will be listed without discussion.
Glandular deficiencies — hypoadrenalism and hypothyroidism (these cause change in muscular consistency); hypoestrinism and hypoadrenalism (results in tightening of ligaments); hypo-pituitarism; hyperparathyroidism and osteoporosis.
Systemic and infectious diseases — Arthridities, gout, malaria, syphilis, poliomyelitis, meningitis, encephalitis, tetanus, herpes-zoster, upper respiratory infection, influenza, anemias, chronic alcoholism, multiple sclerosis, diabetes, arteriosclerosis.
Emotional disorders — Deep seated vexations causing nervous or emotional maladjustments, conversion hysteria, compensationi-tis.
New growth — Tumors of spinal cord, meninges, vertebrae, metastatic implants, tumors of pelvic area, fat nodules, cancer of prostate, and visceral carcinomata (cancer of abdominal organs).
Visceral referred — The nephridities, cystitis, ureteritis, prostatis, pelvic inflammatory disease, broad and round ligamentous stretching, ovarian dyscrasias, pancreatitis, anal disease and infrequently referred from remainder of gastro-intestinal tract and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
Mechanical (90%) — Congenital defects as, spina bifida, spondylolisthesis, spondylosis, facet or apophyseal joint abnormalities, lumbarization, sacralization or blocked (fused) vertebrae. Sciatic neuritis, bursitis, tendonitis, myofasciitis, fibrositis, coc-cydynia, traumatic sprain and strain with fascial tears and muscle spasm, osteomyelitis, pyriformis, muscle syndrome, knee pathology, foot pathology and herniated, or slipped interverte-bral disc. It is interesting to note the discrepancies of statistics in herniated disc diagnosis. Howbeit, 90% of proven disc cases respond to conservative treatment. Sacro-iliac strain as a cause of back pain is highly exaggerated; simple anatomy will discount any suggestion to the contrary.
Temperature change and moisture — Contraction of ligamentous structures results from sudden temperature changes, particularly chilling, or after sudden air drying of wet skin.
Postural defects — Instructions toward proper posture and postural habits should begin in the home and school; adolescence is particularly and important time for vigilance against poor posture habits. The body has a proper initial alignment, but also must shift to maintain erect position. If one area cannot relax normally or tighten coordinately, then its opposite acting muscle will have to guard balance movements constantly. This brings on undue fatigue of muscles and strain of connective and supportive ligaments. A few faulty posture conditions which contribute to low back pains are: over-curvature of lumbar spine (sway back), obesity with sagging abdomen, flat chest with protruding chin (stoop posture), shortened Achilles tendon and proated feet.
Therapist In This Field
Orthopedists and other M.D.s are not the only practitioners interested in low back and fascio-myositic cases. Osteopaths manipulate the spine and muscles to some good effect; furthermore, their educational background teaches them to realize their limitations. Chiropractors practice on the theory of vertebral displacement causing pain on the nerve root as it exits from the intervertebral spaces; their inherent basic medical backgrounds assures a certain amount of danger due to sins of omission and it is hard to conceive of their cure to a backache of anymore than primary muscle spasm or of psycho-genie origin.
Masseurs, naturopaths and various other cults thrive on the inadequacies of treatments by organized medicine. However, organized medicine is beginning to realize the value of physical medicine; physical therapists and even physiatrists are accepted members of medical societies and ancillary professional associations.

I’ve been trying to massage my prostate gland. I know its somewhere between the scrotum and the anus but even if i poke tat part, it has no feeling just pain (because the skin is stretched). I prefer not to use a sex toy though. So anyone got any suggestion?
You will have to insert something longer OR have your girlfriend do it for you
It was stated in our first article what it takes to produce a top quality pet vitamin. It should be made with a precise combination of vitamins, minerals, herbs, antioxidants, bioflavonoids, fatty acids and amino acids. These ingredients have been shown to combat the ravages of free radicals and provide immune system support.
What exactly are these ingredients, where do they come from and what do they do?
Alfalfa- Alfalfa is known as the “King of Plants”, and its roots have been used for centuries in many cultures. The herb belongs to the legume family, closely related to beans and peas. It is an excellent source of vitamins D, E and K, beta-carotene, minerals, fiber, chlorophyll, calcium, proteins and fats. It is especially rich in the amino acid trypophane. Alfalfa is considered to be a very beneficial herb and is used to increase appetite, alleviate certain allergic reactions and help poor digestion. It may also reduce inflammation due to arthritis and rheumatism. (Canine formula only)
Alpha Amylase- A soluble fiber that aids in digestion, Alpha Amylase allows the ingredients of the vitamin to be absorbed into the body as rapidly and quickly as possible without diminishing the antioxidant capabilities.
Amino Acids- Necessary for the synthesis of body proteins and many other tissue constituents. Amino Acids aid in building new muscle, bone and tendon cells, play a vital role in metabolism, stamina and brain function. The also enable vitamins and minerals to be properly absorbed. There are approximately twenty-eight amino acids that combine in various ways to create hundreds of different types of proteins. Some enhance the immune system by stimulating the antioxidant activity of certain enzymes and can prevent skin and coat problems. Others prevent premature aging, tumors, nerve disease and connective tissue disorders. A deficiency could cause a host of problems ranging from indigestion, stunted growth or nervous disorders.
Beta-Carotene- The precursor to Vitamin A becomes a powerful free radical scavenger in the body. Vitamin A is essential in skeletal growth, reproductive function, embryonic development and differentiation of tissues. It is crucial for proper eye function and possible cataract reduction. Vitamin A is necessary for healthy skin and mucous membranes which are the first line of defense against invading microorganisms and toxins. Beta-Carotene and Vitamin A destroy carcinogens and guard against heart disease and stroke and lowers cholesterol.
Blue Green Algae- Natures most basic food. Existing at the beginning of the food chain, it provides nutrition in its simplest form. Blue Green Algae is very rich in chlorophyll and is essential for the smooth operation of the brain and nervous system. It enhances the health of the entire body, strengthens the immune system, promotes intestinal regularity and the healing of wounds. It also boosts hemoglobin production and helps purify the blood. The trace minerals found in Blue Green algae are Boron, Calcium, Chlorine, Chromium, Cobalt, Copper, Fluorine, Geranium, Iodine, Iron, Magnesium, Manganese, Molybdenum, Nickel, Phosphorus, Potassium, Silicon, Sodium, Tin, Titanium, Vanadium and Zinc.
Brewers Yeast- A natural source of B-Complex vitamins. Studies show another beneficial effect of Brewers Yeast supplementation is significant reduction of body fleas on companion pets.
Cats Claw- Also known as Una de Gato, is an ancient herb found in the rain forest of Peru. This singular and wild woody vine is known for its amazing healing properties and had been used by native people for centuries. It cleans the intestinal tract, enhances the action of white blood cells and acts as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Research in different countries, including Germany, Austria, England and Hungary has shown that Cats Claw can stimulate the immune system and may help in the treatment of diseases including cancer, viral or respiratory infections, allergies, arthritis and rheumatism.
Chicken Liver- 100% chicken liver has omega fatty acids and vitamins A, C, and the B-complex vitamin group. It contains minerals including calcium, copper, phosphorus and iron. Chicken liver is good for anemia and aids in building healthy red blood cells and can increase energy and relieve stress.
Copper- Aids in the formation of red blood cells and works with Vitamin C to form elastin, an important protein that makes up bone, skin and connective tissue. It aids in the healing process and energy production. Copper is needed for healthy joints and nerves.
Evening Primrose Oil- High in gamma linolenic acid, an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid that promotes cardiovascular health. It is known to prevent hardening of the arteries, heart disease and high blood pressure and aids in lowering cholesterol. It is good for certain skin disorders and can increase the release of sex hormones improving reproductive health.
L Methionine- An essential amino acid not synthesized by the body that must be obtained from food or supplements. It is a powerful antioxidant and good source of sulfur, which neutralizes free radicals and helps prevent skin, coat and nail problems. It can detoxify harmful agents such as lead and other heavy metals found in airborne pollutants. L Methionine supplementation is needed for the absorption, transportation, and availability of selenium and zinc in the body. It can reduce fatigue and is useful in the development of age-related cataracts. (Canine formula only).
Magnesium- Acts as a catalyst in the utilization of carbohydrates, fats, protein, calcium, phosphorus and potassium. It is important for energy and healthy maintenance of bones, teeth, arteries, heart and nerves. Research has shown magnesium can help prevent cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and certain forms of cancer.
Manganese- An enzyme activator that plays an important part in tissue respiration and carbohydrate and fat metabolism. It is important for normal skeletal development and to maintain sex hormone production. Manganese deficiency can lead to paralysis, convulsions, dizziness, deafness and blindness.
Oyster Shell- Extremely rich in calcium, the major element in the structural framework of bones. Practically every cell in the body especially heart, nerves and muscles, rely on calcium to function properly. The heart requires calcium to maintain a normal beat. Muscles need it for contraction and relaxation.
Papain- Aids in the digestion of protein and helps cleanse the tissues and intestinal walls. The unique ability of Papain to break down protein and convert a portion of it into Arginine is extremely important because Arginine is influences the production of HGH. HGH is produced in the pituitary gland is directly responsible for DNA and RNA replication. HGH helps increase muscle tone and decrease body fat.
Phosphorus- Works with calcium to build bones and teeth and aids the body in the utilization of vitamins, and conversion of food to energy. A deficiency can lead to loss of weight and appetite, irregular breathing, fatigue and nervous disorders.
Pine Bark- The proanthocyanidids in Pine Bark have been shown in clinical studies to be 20 times more effective than Vitamin C and 50 times more effective than Vitamin E as an antioxidant. Pine Bark helps relieve pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis and rheumatism. Pine Bark has a remarkable ability to seek and destroy free radicals which is a tremendous benefit to the health of our animals. By reducing oxidative damage to cells and vital tissues, much damage is held to a subdued rate. Unlike dietary antioxidants, proanthocyanidids readily cross the blood-brain barrier to protect vital brain and nerve tissue from oxidation.
Potassium (Citrate)- Important for a healthy nervous system and regular heart rhythm. It helps prevents strokes, aids in proper muscle contraction and works with sodium to control the water balance in the body. It is important for chemical reactions within cells, aids in maintaining stable blood pressure and proper transmission of chemical impulses. Potassium regulates the transfer of nutrients through cell membranes. Signs of deficiency include abnormally dry skin, weakness, paralysis, low blood pressure and irregular heartbeat.
Selenium- An essential trace mineral whose main function is to inhibit the oxidation of fats. It is a vital antioxidant, especially when combined with Vitamin E. It protects the immune system by preventing the formation of free radicals. It has also been found to function as a preventative against the formation of certain types of tumors.
Shark Cartilage- Contains collagen and glycosaminoglycans. This combination makes shark cartilage a powerful anti-inflammatory wound healing agent that is not toxic and has no known side effects. It is also an effective substance against bacteria, virus and fungal infections. There have been several studies demonstrating the ability of shark cartilage to shrink some cancerous tumors, including those unaffected by standard treatments. Shark cartilage contains a protein that impedes the formation of blood vessels to tumors.
Taurine- Is one of the most abundant amino acids in the body. Taurine therapy is used in the treatment of ischemic heart disease. Low Taurine and magnesium levels have been found after heart attacks. Taurine also plays a role in maintaining the correct composition of bile and solubility of cholesterol. It helps stabilize cell membranes and helps the movement of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium in and out of cells, which generates nerve impulses. It is necessary for chemical reactions that produce normal vision. (Feline Only: Canines produce their own Taurine).
Vitamin B Complex- Necessary for carbohydrate, fat and protein metabolism. Helps the functioning of the nervous system, maintains muscle tone in the gastrointestinal tract, maintains the health of skin, coat, eyes, mouth and liver.
Vitamin B1 (Thiamine)- Essential for normal functioning of the heart, nerves, muscles, skin and digestive system. Necessary for carbohydrate metabolism.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)- Necessary for carbohydrate-fat-protein metabolism and antibody and red blood cell formation. Good for healthy eyes, skin, and coat.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)- Promotes growth. proper functioning of the nervous system, maintenance of healthy skin, tongue, digestive system, and carbohydrate-fat-protein metabolism.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid)- Assists in the release of energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Aids in the utilization of some vitamins, stimulates growth, and aids in the formation of antibodies.
Vitamin B12- Essential for normal formation of red blood cells, carbohydrate-fat-protein metabolism, and good appetite. B12 maintains fertility, promotes normal growth and development and prevents nerve damage by maintaining the fatty sheaths that protect nerve endings.
Vitamin C (Ester C) A powerful antioxidant that also protects other antioxidants such as Vitamin E. The cells of the brain and spinal cord, which frequently incur free radical damage, can be protected by significant amounts of Vitamin C. In addition to its role as an antioxidant, it also increases the synthesis of Interferon,, a natural anti-viral substance produced by the body and stimulates the activity of certain key immune cells. Vitamin C is a key factor in many immune functions and lowers the risk of cataracts while promoting cell growth and tissue repair.
Vitamin E- An essential fat soluble vitamin that includes eight naturally occurring compounds and each of these compounds exhibit different biological activities. The most widely accepted biological function of Vitamin E is related to its antioxidant activities. It is the most effective chain breaking lipid soluble antioxidant in the biological membrane. It contributes to membrane activity, protecting critical cellular structures against damage from oxygen free radicals.
Whey Protein- The importance of protein in any carnivores diet cannot be understated for it is critical in building and maintaining muscle mass and other necessary metabolic functions. Protein deficiencies can lead to retarded skeletal and muscle growth and a weakened immune system, which causes susceptibility to infections and degenerative diseases. (Feline formula)
Zinc- Zinc is a component of almost 100 enzymes involved in metabolic processes, most of which work with the red blood cells to move carbon dioxide from the tissue to the lungs. As an antioxidant it promotes normal growth and development, aids in wound healing, enhances cell division, repair and growth. It also helps synthesize DNA and RNA. Zinc deficiencies have been linked to prostate hypertrophy, cancer, slow recovery from head injuries, diabetes, arthritis and reduced immune system responses.
If your pet is suffering from hip or joint inflammation, it is suggested that the proper pet vitamin should include Glucosamine, Chondroitin, Methylsulfonymethane (MSM) and Vitamin C which will help to quickly and effectively reverse and heal the devastating effects of Osteoarthritis.
MSM supplies biologically active sulfur to animal joints. Use of MSM has been shown to reduce rigidity of cells in the soft tissues of the body. By reducing this rigidity, fluids are able to pass more freely from the cell and this helps to reduce cell pressure, thereby reducing inflammation and pain.
Glucosamine- Provides the joints with the building blocks needed to repair the damage caused by osteoarthritis. Acting as a catalyst, glucosamine helps animals synthesize new cartilage needed to replace damaged cartilage caused by wear and tear. Hip dysplasia occurs when normal wear and tear break down cartilage.
Chondroitin- Attracts and holds fluid within cartilage tissue helping to lubricate joints, increase mobility and reduce discomfort caused by hip dysplasia. Chondroitin neutralizes the destructive enzymes that are known to damage and destroy cartilage. It aids the entry of glucosamine into inflamed joints. Vitamin C promotes cartilage growth and tissue repair.
Vitamin C- Is a key factor in the immune system, helping white blood cells function. Prolonged Vitamin C deficiency will cause existing tissues to deteriorate.
Combine all this into an FDA approved lab and you have the highest quality pet vitamins imaginable.

I read that it is supposed to decrease all symptoms of the prostate, does any one know if this is true?
There are 76 hits for "rape flower" and "prostate" on Yahoo, so it seems that there is some research… the first couple hits point out it’s use for Prostatitis, too. My search was at http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22rape+flower%22+prostate&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8&fr=yfp-t-701 but I know that the more common uses for the seed/pollen would be for respiratory health (asthma, hay fever, etc). I would have pointed out the specific links, but as Dave pointed out, I would hate to post spam.
That being said, there are other herbs that have been shown to help the health of the prostate like Saw Palmetto, Pygeum, Pumpkin Seed Oil, Beta Sitosterol, and some other basic nutrients. You could try any combination of those that have more of a history and verifiable proof of helping the prostate.
Good luck and I hope I helped!
The bald community is doing cartwheels over the latest baldness cure in a string of other purported bald cures that have been introduced during the last 10-15 years. This newest innovation comes in pill form and is a prescription drug called Propecia.
Propecia, whose generic name is finasteride, helps hair grow back by blocking the conversion of testosterone into dihyrdo-testosterone, commonly referred to as DHT. DHT prevents hair from growing, so by blocking its formation, hair can begin to grow again.
The results of a clinical trial that tested the efficacy of Propecia revealed that 20% of men who took a small amount of the drug for a year grew back moderate to heavy amounts of hair! And another 30% grew some hair. The clinical trial also revealed that it took longer for some of the men to start regrowing hair; these men experienced positive results after taking the drug for 2 years.
The best news is that finasteride has been demonstrated to help prevent prostate cancer, so this additional benefit is a further incentive for bald men to give Propecia a try, because bald men show an increased risk of developing prostate cancer. Sounds too good to be true? Perhaps. Propecia usage can reduce sex drive and cause impotence in some men, but these effects disappear when usage of the drug is halted.
However, this effect upon sex drive is not universal, it may be experienced in some men and not in others. Besides, you can always use Viagra to counteract the effects of having a reduced libido. Most men would do anything to grow their back, and if Propecia provides that answer, then it’s worth a shot.
To maintain the hair you grow back as a result of taking Propecia, it is important to keep taking it, as once the medication is discontinued, the hair loss returns. So, you must continue to take the drug indefinitely to keep the hair, which is costly to the consumer since it is not ordinarily covered by health insurance.
But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Propecia can help you restore your head of hair for the time being, and then sometime in the near future, stem cell cures for baldness will likely be available and will probably be the permanent answer for curing baldness once and for all. In 2004, a test performed on mice revealed that bald mice easily grew back their hair after being given stem cells that were engineered to induce hair growth.
It’s not hard for scientists to imagine that one day they will be able to implant “blank-slate” stem cells into areas where men are bald, resulting in hair for life. These stem cell treatments are not coming tomorrow or next year, but are certainly within our reach as biologists continue to work with stem cells and make new discoveries.
So, for now, the bald community must settle for Propecia, the short-term solution for curing baldness. Then, probably 10 years from now, biotech companies will provide the long-term solution with a cure for baldness at the genetic and cellular levels, a solution that will make them rich beyond their wildest dreams.

Does Viagra resolve the problem?
Probably. There is a risk of impotence when doing surgery on the prostate etc, but a good chance that plumbing will still work as advertised.
Over the past few weeks I have been urinating a lot, but it only seems like I urinate a lot when I worry about it. The past few days I have been going almost every hour.
I do not have burning when I am urinating, and I don’t have any other symptoms of prostate cancer or even an infection.
Could it be anxiety causing this or do I have prostate cancer?? If I have prostate cancer does it spread fast?? I am only 20 years old.
Whenever you experience a change in your body cancer should never be the first thing that comes to mind, especially when you’re young. Men with prostate cancer do not have to think about urinary frequency as it usually happens at night and wakes them up. It is very rare to occur in men under 45 and unheard of at your age.
1 DARK FRUITS:
Red or purple fruits, black grapes, blueberries, black cherries, black berries and bilberries contain much vitamin C and flavonoids.
2 WHOLE-GRAINS:
They include brown rice, wholemeal bread and porridge, all keeping bowels regular and efficient to prevent toxins, that have been processed by the liver and sent to the intestines, from re-entering the blood. Whole-grains are also rich in vitamins E and B, which keep your nervous system healthy. Brown rice contains methionine, which forms enzymes that fight free radicals.
3 CABBAGE FAMILY:
All members of the cabbage family, especially broccoli, Brussels sprouts and spring and winter greens are rich in chemicals that help the liver break down cancer-causing toxins and pollutants. They are also rich in carotenes, more agents against free radicals. The cabbage family helps prevent osteoporosis, as it is an excellent source of vitamin K, needed for bone formation and repair.
4 OILY FISH:
The omega-3 oils found in oily fish, particularly mackerel, herring and sardines, may help prevent red blood cells from clumping and blocking blood vessels. Oily fish are also rich in zinc, which helps prevent prostate problems in older men.
5 SOY BEANS:
Recent research has shown that soy beans contain materials that can be converted by digestions and fermentation to genistein and daidzein, which help prevent breast cancer and prostate cancer and also forms a natural hormone replacement therapy for those in the menopause. Referred to as ‘plant oestrogen’s’, there are, in fact, a type of flavonoid which is a good oestrogen’s balancer. To receive all the benefits soy has to offer, eat tofu, soy yoghurt, soy flour and soy milk, but more especially fermented soy products such as miso and tempeh.
6 BRAZIL NUTS:
Selenium is found in Brazil nuts, which are actually one of the very few good sources for this mineral, needed in the body to make the antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase, which helps prevent free-radical damage to your cells. Studies continue to show that people who eat selenium-rich food greatly reduce their risk of developing cancer and heart disease. Research also indicates that selenium helps the kidneys to clean toxins from the body more efficiently. Other sources include whole-grain cereals, seafood and seaweed.
7 CELERY JUICE:
Meat eating can cause over-acidity which, can lead to illnesses such as osteoarthritis. Celery juice, made with an extractor or juicer, will help reduce acidity. It is credited with being one of the best treatments for the prevention of osteoarthritis. Drink 1-2 glasses daily, even more if it seems to be helping.
8 SESAME SEEDS:
Although bones obviously need calcium to remain strong and healthy in later life, they also need the osteoporosis-fighting nutrients magnesium and zinc. Sesame seeds are rich in both and contain levels of calcium. Mix them with other foods or use tahini (sesame seed paste) instead of butter.
9 ORGANIC LIVER:
Liver is rich in vitamin A and zinc, which are both in the anti-ageing nutrient list and help prevent hormone deficiencies. Liver also contains folic acid and other B vitamins, which could help prevent heart attacks and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, it contains chromium, which helps keep blood sugar levels down. Not everyone likes to eat liver; those who prefer not to but who are happy to eat meat can buy desiccated liver tablets, though they are quite difficult to find in organic forms. Vegetarians need to eat a varied diet and take vitamin A (up to 10,000 i.u.), or safer beta-carotene which is converted to vitamin A (but not readily diabetics), and mineral supplements. It is not advisable for pregnant women to eat non-organic liver as it has high retinol content.
10 WATER:
Dehydration goes unnoticed in too many people. Stimulants, such as tea, coffee and alcohol, increase our need for water as they cause dehydration and thus increase the potential of kidney problems and damage. The average adult must drink at least 8 glasses of water daily to flush out toxins, maintain good health and adequate hydration. People who exercise a lot must drink more.

I learned how to massage my prostate, but I don’t get a kick out of it and my wrist starts hurting. Can you even get an orgasm massaging your own prostate?
The prostate itself doesn;t cause an orgasm, but it just releases more semen than normal
