Prostate Cancer is NOT a Death Sentence!

For men with slow-growing prostate cancer, conventional treatments

may be more dangerous than the disease! Many conventional doctors are

extremely aggressive in their treatment, recommending

drastic " therapies " like radiation, chemotherapy and surgery. The

side effects of these therapies — including impotence and

incontinence — can be devastating. And because most men have a slow-

growing form of prostate cancer, these drastic measures are usually

unwarranted. In fact, there is NO evidence that such extreme

approaches are any better than " watchful waiting. "

Of course, you shouldn't sit back passively, hoping for the prostate

cancer to simply " disappear. " There are safe, natural therapies to

combat prostate cancer, and one of the most promising is modified

citrus pectin, a natural compound derived from citrus pulp. In

laboratory studies, modified citrus pectin has been shown to prevent

prostate cancer cells from adhering to cells that line blood vessel

walls, thereby reducing the likelihood of metastasis (spread of

cancer beyond the prostate gland). Even more encouraging, a recent

clinical study found that men taking 15 g of modified citrus pectin

daily experienced a slowdown in the progression of prostate cancer,

as measured by PSA levels.

" Cancer " is one of the most frightening words in our language. But

there are steps you can take to reduce your risk of cancer or improve

your chances of recovery if you already have cancer.
