SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES & OBESITY CAN INCREASE PROSTATE CANCER RISKS

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES 

and OBESITY CAN INCREASE 

PROSTATE CANCER RISKS 

   (© 2 February 2012: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan,Ph.D.)

Infection or inflammation of the prostate may increase the chance of prostate cancer. In particular, sexually transmitted diseases seem to increase the risk (Dennis et al, 2002).

Obesity can also increase the risk for prostate cancer (Calle et al, 2003).

My Interpretation:

It is the accumulation of excessive CALCIUM in the soft cells of all the organs in the body that makes a person overweight initially, and makes him obese and morbidly obese subsequently.

Men require only about 450 or 500 mg of Calcium on a day-to-day basis.

If and when a person drinks or eats food that is naturally calcium-rich (e.g. seafood, eggs, dairy products, etc.), or take calcium-enriched eatables, or supplements, the total quantity of calcium that had entered into his body would exceed a lot more than the daily requirement of 450 mg.

When this happens, the body, guided by the brain, disposes off the excesses through urine.

I have found that, in order to remove all the unwanted calcium excesses through urination, a person will have to necessarily urinate at least 7 (preferably, 8) times daily.

This being the case, it the person under-urinates (only three or four times daily), most of such unwanted calcium tends to stay inside the body itself – and this would continue to occur day after day.

Such calcium excesses are then stored within the cells that are SOFT in the body.

Nearly all organs tend to have such soft cells. So, nearly all of the cells tend absorb the calcium excesses. That makes them swell up in size, and we call it ‘inflammation’, or hypertrophy.

As a result of the above phenomenon, the entire body becomes heavier in weight, and the muscles turn tougher.

If the process happens to continue for a prolonged period, then, the excessive calcium that had already made the cells swollen up turns that into lumps or benign tumours.

Again, the calcium accumulation process can accelerate the lumps or tumours to turn into cancers.

Such a cancer can form in any organ.

However, if a male happens to accumulate such calcium excesses through LIQUIDS, such as FRUIT JUICES and SOUPS  (extracted from vegetables and meat or bone of animal origin), then, the SOFT CELLS in his PROSTATE GLAND appears to accumulate such excesses, making it to ENLARGED.  The same, a while later, becomes CANCER there.

********
Most of the disease-causing bacteria, including those that are linked to the sexually transmitted diseases (STD), appear to be thriving in an alkaline medium.

Calcium is alkaline, and can provide a preferred niche for those bacteria to thrive well, and cause the diseases.

***********
Now, let us recollect the statement made by researchers Dennis and his colleagues. According to them:

(a)          Infection or inflammation of the prostate may increase the chance of prostate cancer.

(b)          Sexually transmitted diseases can increase the risk of forming the prostate cancer.

I have already explained that it is the accumulation of excessive calcium (essentially due under-urination) that gives rise to inflammation and then the cancer.

Likewise, infectious bacteria tend to live in such alkalised tissues.

The above being the reality, the interpretation should be different from what has been described by them.

If I am to put it right, it should be said thus:

“Intake of excessive calcium from liquid sources, and its retention within the body due to under-urination tend to create inflammation of the prostate gland, which at a later stage becomes cancerous.

"The pH of the cells in the prostate gland, by becoming alkaline due to the calcium accumulation there, allows the invasion and existence of the STD-causing bacteria to thrive there, and give the diseases to the person.

"Both the inflammation as well as the bacterial growth occur due to calcium accumulation, and STD bacteria as such may not be the causative or risk factor for the development of inflammation or cancer there. "

    ******
    Then comes the second finding by Calle and his co-workers:

Obesity can also increase the risk for prostate cancer.

The above, if correctly said, should read:

"It is obesity that gives rise to prostate cancer."

It is so because, the excessive calcium accumulation makes a person obese, and that gives rise to cancer later"

CERTAIN FOODS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO PROSTATE CANCER

   CERTAIN FOODS CAN CONTRIBUTE TO  

   PROSTATE CANCER
    (© 7 February, 2012: Dr. V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.) 
 
     I read the following news:   Dietary amounts of certain foods, vitamins, and minerals  can contribute to prostate cancer risk
      (Gann and Giovannuchi, 2006).

 The following is MY interpretation. Please see if this makes sense:             

Although the above statement appears to be a generalised one, there is some truth in it.

In my opinion, vitamins do not seem to have anything to do with the development of prostate cancer (or any other cancer, for that matter).
 

As I have emphasised in all my reports, it is the mineral calcium that appears to be totally responsible for the development of all cancers.
 

Some foods tend to contain less calcium, some mediocre, and others, plenty.

Eating LESSER quantities of calcium-RICH foods would give the person, mediocre quantities of calcium.

Eating medium quantities of the same calcium-rich food would end up giving the person too much of calcium.

Eating too much of the calcium-rich diet would give too much of calcium to the consumer.

If a person happens to eat FAR TOO MUCH of even the mediocre calcium containing food, he / she would end up with plenty of calcium within his/her body.
 

It is similar to the saying “several tiny drops a flood”.
 

In general, if one wants to prevent any form of cancer, it becomes imperative that he/she does not consume far too much of food in bulk – whether that be rich or mediocre in its calcium contents.

However, consuming far too much of VERY LOW-CALCIUM containing food may not do any harm to the consumer, especially when it comes to the prostate gland problems.

*****************
Let us evaluate the following findings by Schulman and his colleagues (2001):

Lower blood levels of vitamin-D also may increase the risk for prostate cancer 

My Interpretation: We know very well that vitamin-D is definitely required for fixing the free calcium into the bones.

This being the case, if adequate quantity of vitamin-D is not available, then most of the free calcium would continue to remain free.

Such free calcium can get out of the body through urinations.

However, if the person is not going to liberally urinate, then, most of such free calcium will have no other alternative except to getting absorbed into the soft cells.
 

If the calcium happens to be in the 'vicinity' of the prostate gland, then, it may end up in the prostate gland, making the cells there enlarge, and subsequently give rise to cancer there.

This tends to happen because, the Prostate gland itself scavenges and absorbs the freely available calcium for making up the seminal fluid.

If the semen thus formed does not get ejaculated out of the body, then, the calcium tends to get absorbed by the soft cells of the gland itself, thus giving rise to an enlargement of the structure. If the process continues , it may end up as cancer. 

This tends to imply that having frequent sex / frequent ejaculation may be good for men, especially for the prevention of prostate enlargement and prostate cancer.

If the person who consumes far too much of calcium happens to somehow have equally plenty of vitamin-D, then, most of such calcium may end up in the bones, and therefore, they may not do any harm to the prostate gland as such.

OK, friends,

I will soon publish the next bit of information.

WHY SHOULD OBESE MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER FACE HIGHER DEATH RISK

WHY SHOULD OBESE MEN 

WITH PROSTATE CANCER 

FACE HIGHER DEATH RISK.

(©: 6 February 2012: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.) A study finds it that the obese men with prostate cancer face higher death risk. It finds 2.6 fold increase in chance of dying compared to normal weight men (Hutchinson (2007; ScoutNews, 2007).

  
   My Interpretation (as is presented in my cancer book):
 

   Needless to highlight that all soft tissues (including the prostate gland and heart) of all obese men, in the first place, are bound to become enlarged (inflammation) because of the absorption of free calcium (in the absence of sunshine or vitamin-D) due to under-urination and chronic constipation.
 

  Whereas such an initial enlargement would not occur in the thin men. (They are thin because they urinate 7 or more number of times daily, through which nearly all the calcium excesses get out of the body, thus not contributing to blood vessel thickening (arteriosclerosis), heart blockages, prostate enlargement, or kidney stones.)
 

   In other words, because of the calcium absorption, the prostate gland of obese men can be assumed to enlarge, say '2.6 fold’, when the thin persons have just “0” fold enlargement (i.e., no enlargement at all).
 

  With the above starting points, IF both groups of men consume, for example, twice daily, soups* made of vegetables containing abundant calcium, the obese men would certainly cross over the prostate’s threshold point (i.e., tolerance limit) much earlier than the thin men. Hence, the disparity in the death rate.

   (* Soups are made by boiling vegetable, chicken, crabs, or any such thing in water. During this process, most of the calcium contained in those items (calcium, being water-soluble) would get extracted into the soup. Thus, soups form concentrated calcium-containing liquids.)
 

  In the obese, the major reason for an earlier death should be essentially due to their reduced water consumption and under-urinations habits, which thicken their blood vessels and create blockages in the heart.   
 

*     *     *     *     *     *

In USA, prostate cancer appears to be affecting black men more often than the white or Hispanic men (Hoffman et al, 2001).
 

  My Interpretation (as is found in my cancer book):
 

  I am not too sure if the African Americans habitually consume more calcium containing eatables and drinks.
 

  Besides the eating habit, the African American men c(as well as women) could be under-urinating all the time*.

   ( * This may have some relevance to the past life style of the African Americans - in the past, a few generations of them were forced to work almost non-stop all the time. They had to control their urge to urinate then and there, and thereby the whole lot of them became big-sized, due to the retention of the calcium excesses within their body. Such an under-urinating could have become 'norm' for all of them along with time. Hence, they could be more susceptible to obesity, and obesity-related diseases, including prostate cancer.)
 

   In other words, the African Americans, as of today, should be under-urinating all the time*.

  (* A study to trace this important phenomenon, by tracing the 'Liquid (Water Intake) / Urine Output' should be conducted to recognise this fact. In good health, the Ratio should be 1.0, and can go up to 1.2.  However, I won't be surprised if it goes to 1.5 or more. I think, it may even go up further to, even 2.0. Any reading above 1.2 would give rise to HYPERHIDROSIS (profuse sweating in palms, feet, and all over the body), and would also make the person OVERWEIGHT AND OBESE, ending up as MORBILDY OBESE.)
 

  This makes them ‘giant-sized’ (Palaniappan, 1998) due to calcium accumulation within the cells of all the organs and muscles in the body. 
 

   As a result of the above two phenomenon, the prevalence of prostate cancer among the black men could be more than the white or Hispanic men, as reported by Hoffman et al, in 2001. 
 

*     *     *     *     *     *

Men who have a brother or father with prostate cancer have twice the usual risk of developing prostate cancer (Steinberg et al, 1990).
 

   My Interpretation (as is found in my cancer book):
 

   I have explained repeatedly in several of my books/publications that members of the same family could easily end up developing identical eating / water drinking habits.
 

   Generally, people all over the world are being told to consume more green leafy vegetables for maintaining good health.
 

   Following this, most of the health-conscious housekeepers tend to prepare soups of vegetables that contain abundant calcium, on a daily basis.
 

   As a result of this, all members of the same family tend to consume such ‘rich’ soups almost daily. They could even become addicted to this soup-drinking habit.

(I have often come across several Chinese men in Malaysia getting ‘addicted’ to soup-drinking.

The moment they enter into a restaurant, the first thing they order is, of course, a big bowl of vegetable soup.

Prostate cancer appears to be more prevalent among Chinese men in Malaysia.
 

This should be seen from the angle of the Theory of Evolution as explained by Darwin, and in relation to the  “Selection of the Best” and  “Survival of the Fittest”.

Only the best and good characters and features will get transmitted to the next generation, and NOT the worse and diseases!)
 

   As a result of this, there several male members of the same family could develop prostate enlargement and cancers.

   An obese mother, who is obese by virtue of NOT drinking enough water and NOT urinating adequately, would NOT encourage her children to drink water, and may not train her infants to urinate liberally. This would end up making her children too obese. This would then pose to scientists as it that trait is an inherited / genetic factor. Apparently, that would only constitute an error.
 

  Therefore, this should not be mistaken as some sort of genetic involvement.
 

*     *     *     *     *     *

Two genes (called BRCA1 and BRCA2) that are important risk factors for ovarian cancer and breast cancer in women have also been implicated in prostate cancer (Struewing et al, 1997).
 

   My Interpretation (as is found in my cancer book):
 

  We have to consider two different aspects here:
 

(1) The two genes are said to be common to all the three cancers.
 

   This supports my finding clearly that the root cause for the development of cancers is the accumulation of calcium within the soft cells. Hence, the commonness among these three.
 

   This being the truth, I won’t be surprised if Geneticists come up with more findings to prove that several more cancers have identical risk factors.
 

(2)  To the best of my knowledge, no one can visually ‘see’ or ‘read’ the risk details in the genes.
 

   They should be matters of only interpretations of certain criteria.
 

   Therefore, I am of the opinion that the so-called genes BRCA1, 2, etc. could be only indications of some factors present in the chromosomes / body of the person, and not of any direct relationship to deteriorating characteristics.

CAUSES FOR PROSTATE CANCER

CAUSES and POSSIBLE CURE for PROSTATE CANCER
(© 2 February 2012: Dr.V.M.Palaniappan, Ph.D.)

(Source: Palaniappan, V.M. 2010. Cancer: Causes, Cure and Prevention: ISBN: 978-967-9988-14-7. 624 pp)
May I present here some basic information related to any one of the cancers so that the method for creating (or curing) a cancer in a healthy person can be understood in the right perspective.

Although it is common knowledge, I would like to bring the following to your memory (as found in: Aumuller 1979, and Lichtenstein et al 2000).
 
Functions of the prostate gland:

 • It helps in the controlling of urinations.

• It produces some of the substances (e.g., calcium, sugar, etc.) that are present in the normal semen.

* It is the semen that transports the sperms.

• The prostate gland helps in making and storing the seminal fluid.

* The gland measures about 3 cm long and weighs about 20 grams

The following info is from Page 441-443 in MY book on Cancer:

Treatment Options for Cancer Currently Available (American Academy of Physicians 2008, Wikipedia 2008 ):

• Surgical removal of the cancer (If the tumour is still inside the prostate, surgery called radical prostatectomy is common treatment option.)

• Radiation therapy (This also is used for tumours that are still inside the prostate, radiation therapy (using x-rays) kill the cancer cells).

Generally, tumours that have grown beyond the edge of the prostate can't be cured with either radiation or surgery.

They can be treated with hormones that slow the cancer's growth.

• "Watchful waiting" (This is also a treatment option. In this approach, no treatment is given until the tumour gets bigger. Watchful waiting may be the best choice for an older man who has a higher risk of dying from something other than his prostate cancer.)

• Hormonal therapy (This therapy is also called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) or androgen suppression therapy. The goal is to reduce levels of the male hormones, called androgens, in the body. Androgens, produced mainly in the testicles, stimulate prostate cancer cells to grow. Lowering androgen levels often makes prostate cancers shrink or grow more slowly. However, hormone therapy does not cure prostate cancer (American Cancer Society, Inc. 2008).

• Chemotherapy (This can be used in advance prostate cancer if the cancer has extended to other parts of the body. Chemotherapeutic drugs are both toxic and systemic. Toxic because they damage cells so badly that upon division the cell dies. Systemic because chemotherapy affects all the cells of the body as it circulates through the blood stream (Meda-clicks, 2005).

• Proton therapy (This is considered a superior type of radiation therapy that permits a more precise delivery of a higher dose of tumour destroying energy, to kill the exact tumour cells, available since the beginning of this century (The National Association for Proton Therapy, 2008)

• Cryosurgery (This a technique for freezing and killing abnormal cells. It is used to treat some kinds of cancer and some precancerous or noncancerous conditions, and can be used both inside the body and on the skin)

• High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU). (This therapy dest- roys tissue with rapid heat elevation, which essentially ‘cooks’ the tissue. Ultrasound energy, or sound waves, is focussed at a specific location, and at that ‘focal point’ the temperature raises to 90oC in a matter of seconds (International HIFU, 2008).

• MY method of treatment is aimed at a complete cure: This will be described later in this article.

*  *  *  *  *  *
Causes as found in literature, with MY (VMP) interpretations in parentheses.

• The specific causes of this cancer still remains unknown (Hsing et al, 2006).

(VMP: This has come to light, from now on. It may not be fair for Western medical practitioners to claim that ‘no one knows the causes’ of the disease, simply because I am not one of them.)

• The risk is related to a man’s age, genetics, race, diet, lifestyle, medications and other factors (Hankey et al, 1999).

(VMP: Even a young man can develop a prostate enlargement and a cancer. It all depends upon his eating and urination habits.

Genetics, race, and medications do not have any relationship to prostate problems.

However, one’s diet and lifestyle has direct relationship to the development of prostate problems.

Usually men at younger ages prefer to eat meat, whereas, on reaching about 50, they begin to become health-conscious, and start eating abundant vegetables. This gives them far too much of calcium, and hence the prostate development.

While trying to reason out why men, more than women, get Bladder Cancer, some scientists in Rochester University (2007) have come up with the explanation that the androgen (i.e., the male sex hormone) receptor in men is extra active than in women.

This explanation does not seem to fit in, in the case of Bladder Cancer, for reasons I have already explained in the concerned chapter.

However, the above explanation appears to make sense when it comes to the Prostate Cancer.

The Prostate Gland, as seen above, produces semen. While doing so, it draws large quantities of calcium from blood and serum so as to use it for the production of the seminal fluid.

This function is almost similar to the behaviour of lactiferous tissues in the breasts of women. There, calcium gets absorbed from all available sources for the production of milk meant to feed the offspring. If the woman does not reproduce and feed her baby, then, the calcium accumulates to form lumps and cancers.

Likewise, the excessive absorption of calcium (that becomes available from over-eating of calcium oxalate containing vegetables and fruits) by the Prostate Gland should be responsible for the development of cancer there.

We should take it that the androgen receptor is extra active, and that favours the excessive accumulation of calcium.

If the concerned man has regular ejaculation of the semen (either through sexual union or through masturbation), then, all the accumulated calcium would get used up, and there may not be any for further accumulation to form a cancer there.

However, if the person abstains from discharging his semen at regular intervals, and at the same time, if he consumes abundant vegetables, his Prostate Gland is bound to retain it and give rise to cancer.

Often, younger men are very active in sexual activities or masturbations. Whereas, along with increasing age, men tend to slow down. This should be the main reason for those who are above 50 to get the prostate cancer.)

• In USA, in 2005 alone, 230,000 new cases of prostate cancer were estimated, and 30,000 deaths have occurred (Jemal et al, 2005).

(VMP: Why should this be so when the so-called advanced medical research has been going on in a very vigorous manner? It is so because, the researchers appear to be addressing the symptoms and not the root causes of the problem.

However, the correct reason for the increased incidence of prostate cancer in such developed countries could be due to the ‘high awareness’ brought to them through various mass media that erroneously ‘teach’ them that consuming abundant vegetables and fruits would keep them healthy.)

• In UK, in 1999, there were 27,700 new cases of prostate cancer diagnosed (BBC News, 15 Dec., 2003).

(VMP: It appears all the developed nations are involved in doing misdirected research.)

• Cancer is said to strike one in six men, mostly those over the age of 65, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation (ScoutNews, 2007; Dotinga, 2007).

(VMP: It is common knowledge that young men prefer to eat more meat and other foods of animal origin. Whereas, men as they get older, begin to consume more of vegetables. They start believing that vegetables are bound to keep them healthier and long-life. Unfortunately, these are the ones that have abundant calcium in them. Some of the vegetables have large quantities of calcium oxalate crystals that are capable of accumulating at the prostate gland which are responsible for the enlargement of the prostate gland as well as cancer.)

• Recent research has revealed that PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels are 20 to 25% lower in overweight and obese men than in men of normal weight (ScoutNews, 2007).

Dilution because of the body size is offered as explanation for this phenomenon (Dotinga, 2007).

(VMP: The observation that there is a reduction in the level of PSA in the obese is correct, whereas the explanation offered is incorrect. The true reason for the above appears to be the following:

Men (and women) become obese not because of just fat in their body. I have clearly established through all my publications (Palaniappan, 1998-2008) that it is accumulation of calcium in cells of all soft tissues of the body that makes a person obese.

Calcium accumulates because of (a) under-urination, (b) chronic constipation, (c) consumption of calcium-rich vegetables, fruits and foods, (d) taking calcium-enriched foods, and (e) calcium supplements (Palaniappan, 1998-2008).

All the above calcium uniformly makes the entire body of a person obese. When this happens, the prostate gland too becomes increased in its size – resulting in prostate enlargement, otherwise called benign prostate hypertrophy.

However, if a person happens to consume too much of calcium-oxalate containing consumables (essentially fruits and vegetables), then, most of such crystals seem to end up in the prostate gland.

A continued overloading of calcium oxalate crystals continues to enlarge the prostate gland, making the cells there enlarge (=hypertrophy), which at a later stage, on crossing over the threshold point, begin to divide asexually (mitotic cell division). This happens only to accommodate the oncoming calcium oxalate crystals. Such cell divisions are called hyperplasia. The new cells thus formed are collectively called neoplasm.

I have established to statistically highly significant level, that the obese people normally consume only very little vegetables. They prefer to eat foods of animal origin all the time, except for small additions of spinach now and then. Hence, the chances of obese people accumulating calcium oxalate crystals in their prostate gland is very little.

On the other hand, to a significant extent, the thin people consume abundant greens, and therefore, they end up developing prostate enlargement and cancer.

Another equally important reason has relation to the androgen output - i.e., sexual activity of obese people. All overweight and obese men tend to be sexually inactive.

If a 30-year-old married thin man has about 16 - 22 times sex in a month, an obese man of the same age would have only about four times (Palaniappan, 2007).

This seems to be directly related to the production of seminal fluids.

A decreased semen production would require much lesser calcium. Therefore, the prostate would draw only much less calcium from the lymph fluid. As a result of this, the overweight and obese men are bound to escape from prostate cancer development.)

I will post tomorrow more info related to causes for prostate cancer, along with my interpretations.
