Prostate Cancer And Fasting

Hello everyone,

A close friend of our family is dying from prostate cancer. And when I say dying I mean that chemotherapy no longer works, we don't know how long he has left, but it seems quite limited.

Very recently I stumbled upon a website dedicated to juice fasting. It was a complete revelation for many reasons, but the one relevant here is the link between nutrition and fight with cancer.
I've seen testimonies of people who managed to cure cancer (at early stages, I assume) by fasting.

What I was wondering, is if anybody here has experience complementing traditional therapy with fasting. I understand that it may be too late for cure at this point, but perhaps it might buy him couple more years with less pain...

I'll also cross-post this thread into Nutrition board, because I am not sure where it belongs. The Nutrition board also seems less populated...

Any response would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time and best of luck in your struggles, be it for yourself or your dear ones!

Nutrition is a vital element in treating prostate cancer. My husband is in a 30 day program now to help lower his PSA and strengthen his body to fight off the cancer. We almost went to a fasting treatment place 3 years ago when he was diagnosed and I did alot of research on the subject. I wish we had continued with the fasting program back then.

Inga,

A lot of people have cured themselves of cancer through diet, supplements, etc. including myself. I was diagnosed with PC 2 years ago with a PSA of 20. I now have it down to 3. But this is not for everyone; one must be committed to the apporoach, and not be deterred by doom and gloom from proponents of traditional medicine.

There are so many books available on the subject. One in particular, stresses the need to fast:

Prostate Health in 90 Days by Larry Clapp

Although I haven't actually fasted, this book was an inspiration for me. I believe it is a good approach. As described in the book, fasting detoxifies the body and gives the immune system the boost it needs to fight cancer.

Another good source of info on cancer is:

Hello,
Dr. Herbert Shelton is one of the fasting pioneers and wrote many books on fasting and its effects on overall health and the prostate. The prostate accumulates many toxins depending on our diets and the fast of some duration and a change in certain foods could make a big difference. I am embarking on my first fast for an enlarged prostate soon and will let you all know how it goes. Best, Larry...

Bob,

May I ask more of your PC diagnosis -- cores, 10%, Gleason?  And details on what you did to get your PSA down to 3?  Have they rebiopsied or imaged -- that is how do you know you are now well?

I am trying a holistic protocol but am losing courage. 

In my case, PSA went from 9 to 7 to 19 all in two months.
