Global Courant
In the United States alone, prostate cancer affects more than 200,000 men each year. Global prostate cancer statistics continue to grow exponentially, and with the continued modernization of 2nd and 3rd world countries, the number of cases is likely to increase. While these numbers may seem grim, the recovery rate for men with prostate cancer, when detected early, is very high. Men in their mid to late 40s should make it a point to get screened regularly for this cancer, as early detection is the first step to successful treatment.
The exact cause of prostate cancer remains undetermined, but certain factors appear to be associated with the onset of the disease. Heredity, hormonal imbalances, increasing age and exposure to environmental toxins all seem to be linked to the onset of prostate cancer in most men. In the early stages, prostate cancer may show few or no outward symptoms. However, as the cancer progresses, symptoms will begin to manifest. These include difficulty urinating, blood in the urine, back and genital pain, fatigue and weight loss.
Conventional treatments for prostate cancer continue to rely on invasive techniques to fight the disease. Chemotherapy, drugs, and surgery remain the standard treatment for most cases of prostate cancer. But these treatments have some unpleasant side effects. Chemotherapy not only destroys the cancer cells, but also severely affects the patient’s immune system. Surgery can also have detrimental effects on a man’s general health and quality of life. Instead of putting up with these unwanted side effects, many men are turning to more natural treatments. Men with prostate cancer are discovering that through a combination of holistic therapies and faith, they can return to optimal health.
Prostate cancer and nutrition
Nutrition plays a huge role in recovery from any disease, and prostate cancer is no different. Strategic changes to a patient’s diet can have significant proactive effects on their health. Cancer patients should first begin by eliminating potentially harmful items from their daily diet, including refined sugars, salt, processed meats, and dairy products. The benefits of a largely vegetarian diet are gaining credence in cancer studies around the world. While it may be an obvious challenge for some, going off a meat-based diet can have major therapeutic effects for men with prostate cancer.
When men make changes to their diet, it is important that they start adding nutritious power foods to their regular menu. Fresh organic fruits and vegetables, seeds and nuts contain nutrients that slow the growth of cancer cells and should be part of any cancer-fighting diet. Tomatoes, carrots and other rich sources of lycopene and beta-carotene also aid in the fight against cancer and should be added to an already healthy diet.
Dietary supplements can also be taken to help prevent the growth and reproduction of cancer cells. In particular, vitamins A, D and E are powerful antioxidants that help the body fight new cancerous growths. Minerals, such as selenium, calcium and magnesium, also have pronounced cancer-fighting properties that make it increasingly difficult for the cancer cells to thrive. Men diagnosed with prostate cancer will want to see a holistic doctor to help them create a diet, complete with nutritional supplements, that meets their specific needs as a cancer patient.
Christian Health Retreats provide support
A prostate cancer diagnosis can shake men, and men can greatly benefit from the experiences they gain at a Christian Health Retreat. In addition to a much-needed retreat from the daily stresses of life, especially at a time when fear and anxiety reign supreme in their minds, men can receive much-needed nutritional and spiritual guidance. The holistic clinicians on site can help men create a nutritional plan to fight cancer and teach them exercises that help improve their overall health and stamina. Staying at a Christian health retreat also gives men much-needed time and tranquility to come to terms with their condition by meditating on the word of God and praying for His guidance. The combination of prayer, praise, and worship can help patients find the inner peace and strength to successfully fight the cancer that is attacking their body. With the support of spiritual advisors, clinicians and nutritionists, men can regain their health and peace of mind. Renewed, revitalized and with a sound nutritional and spiritual battle plan, prostate cancer patients can return to their daily lives armed with the weapons they need to overcome their cancer.
