zinc and prostate cancer/Dr.

October 14, 2003

Received this from my online doc. I told him that I understand that

zinc increases ejaculate volume.

" never take more than 50mg per day. More than that has been shown to

increase the risk of cancer. Check out my sticky thread called " for

those of yu who are wild about zinc " . Btw, you are free to share my

advice for you with all others on the boards. Maybe we can help

others stay healthy that way. The point is, there's a difference

between resolving a deficiency and taking mega amounts. "

He is a doctor who works with HRT and has three online forums:

Evidently most of his work is with athletes, making sure that if

they're trying to bulk up they're doing so safely. I went to the

ScultedByIron site and found his thread, which included this:

" Too Much Zinc May Increase

Prostate Cancer Risk

Results of a recent study by researchers at the US National Cancer

Institute (NCI) have revealed that men who take too much zinc may be

increasing their risk of developing prostate cancer. Dr

Leitzmann and colleagues examined surveys filled out by 46,974 male

health professionals. Results showed that men who took more than 100

mg of zinc a day had more than twice the risk of advanced prostate

cancer, compared with men who did not take supplementary zinc. The

recommended daily intake of zinc is 11 mg, however it is thought that

at least 10% of men who take supplementary zinc take two-to-three

times more than the recommended amount. "

This is the Doc that operates allthingsmale.com - Dr. . His

username online in the forums is SWALE. Just a quick glance showed

that he lists all the labwork he recommends, he answers HRT

questions, and he is very up with current research. He said that " Dr.

Shipman is a true pioneer. However, he ideas have been surpassed by

my protocols, which are by and far the most " cutting edge " . "

I'm officially a patient of his now. I'll keep you guys posted on

what happens. Meanwhile, it's good to know that there's a doc online

who will answer questions from us. I'll be glad to post any questions

to his forums if anyone wants me to.

Jim
