Taking Vit. E increased prostate cancer risk in those with low Se. news.yahoo.com/selenium-v...2236482.html?soc_src=copy Comments: [Andrew] Antioxidants vitamin E and selenium will accelerate cancer in people who already have some stage of this disease but will not harm healthy individuals Take E two days on follow by 4-5 days off and drink blueberry or pomegranate juice on off days will supply needed antioxidants with out any side effects+4-5. John I contacted the primary researchers involved with the original study, a few years back. I asked them if they had controlled for the amount of #$%$s each participant had during the study. They told me, in phone conversations, they they had not. I then told them that their study was flawed: If men taking the E and Selenium were not increasing their sexual releases per unit time, an increase in prostate cancer would be expected, and absolutely no surprise, to those who understood the effect of such supplementation. Both, taken either together or separately, greatly increase the amount of ejaculate and sperm produced by a given male. Without an increase in #$%$, the prostate will normally swell, and inflammation can certainly occur. Prostatitis can be a precursor to prostate cancer if it is chronic. The researchers I spoke with listened and repeated back to me my concerns. They seemed to "get it." This follow up study shows they obviously didn't, or never passed it on to those involved with the follow up. Beware of junk science, folks. Sometimes the ivory tower elitists miss the most obvious things in their funded work. Ti 6 hours ago 0 2 save lives & legalize – marijuana demonstrates cancer prevention: An in vitro study of the effect of CBD on programmed cell death in breast cancer cell lines found that CBD induced programmed cell death, independent of the CB1, CB2, or vanilloid receptors. CBD inhibited the survival of both estrogen receptor–positive and estrogen receptor–negative breast cancer cell lines, inducing apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner while having little effect on nontumorigenic, mammary cells.[18] CBD has also been demonstrated to exert a chemopreventive effect in a mouse model of colon cancer.[19] In the experimental system, azoxymethane increased premalignant and malignant lesions in the mouse colon. Animals treated with azoxymethane and CBD concurrently were protected from developing premalignant and malignant lesions. In in vitro experiments involving colorectal cancer cell lines, the investigators found that CBD protected DNA from oxidative damage, increased endocannabinoid levels, and reduced cell proliferation. [cape cod gene] cape cod gene Here we go again. Study probably used D-alpha tocopherol which is useless. (big pharma uses this type because they know it is of no value) There is alpha, beta, gamma and delta. You need mixed tocopherols. You also need natural for 37% better bioavailability. There are about 40 valid vitamin E studies that show marked reduction of heart disease with the right amount and type of E. The states with the highest amount of selenium in the soil have the lowest amount of breast cancer and the states with the least amount of selenium have the highest breast cancer rates. [ChrisB] There are some good and informative comments posted here. I certainly am no expert on this and when I had prostatitis the doctor told me 2 things; take zinc supplements and "empty your prostate" regularly. I remember an earlier study that found men who regularly "emptied" their prostate glands, particularly in their twenties and thirties, we less likely to have prostate cancer. [An Engineer] One would need to read the study to find out what type of vitamin E supplementation was used. Synthetic vitamin E consists only of d-alpha-tocopherol, whereas natural vitamin consists of mixed tocopherols and tocotrienols, all of which have a role to play in human nutrition. It is not hard to imagine that high doses of synthetic vitamin E could be harmful, by swamping out the other components obtained through the diet. Hippocrates pretty much got it right 2500 years ago when he said, "Your food shall be your medicine and your medicine shall be your food."+5-3 [Max Finisterre] Lack of sex is what causes prostate cancer. When you're old and can't do it anymore, you get prostate cancer. +3-1 Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
