Is Testosterone Good or Bad?

 testosterone

Once again I’m going to share some of my correspondence with you. There is something special about questions brought up by customers. It is an indication that similar things may be on the minds of others as well. Paul is very widely read and he tends to ask searching questions. Have a look at this one.

 

 

Ben,

 

I quickly read your book, and will reread it again and again.

 

One concept jumped out at me.

 

Prevailing medical opinion, I always assumed, was that blocking testosterone, through products like Avodart or Casodex or Proscar, either slowed any cancer, or at least everyone agreed, shrank the prostate.

 

If, as your book says, testosterone is positive for the prostrate, why does blocking it, through Avodart or Casadex or Proscar, cause almost 100% of the time, the prostate to shrink?

 

I know these drugs have other nasty side effects, but it would seem the prostate thrives on testosterone, which may be the fuel to cause it to enlarge?

 

Also, which natural ingredients would help shrink the prostate?

 

Currently, I am on Flomax, and I want to get off this. No side effects, but as you suggest, I feel my urethra tube is getting abused.

 

Thanks again…

 

Paul

 

Hi Paul,

Testosterone is not the problem. If it were, 18-year-old men would all get prostate cancer. They have a lot more testosterone than you. Here is the way it works. You spend decades eating a Western
diet which has a high proportion of animal protein with lots of animal fats.

 

 

That gradually increases the level of your Estradiol. By the time you’re about 50, you will have more Estradiol in your blood than your wife. In the presence of the Estradiol, your body will convert some testosterone to DHT which is dihydrotestosterone. It is the DHT that is the irritant that can cause prostate cancer, but in any event normally causes the prostate to become enlarged and inflamed. That is called BPH or if it becomes infected is called prostatitis.

 

If you use drugs to reduce the level of testosterone, then the initial effect is to improve disease symptoms because you are reducing the feedstock that is creating DHT which is the problem. However that is a short-term fix that causes far more problems long-term.

 

 

The body as I’m sure you know is a very adaptive organism. Over a period of time it learns how to convert Estradiol to DHT. At that point, things start getting rapidly worse because you no longer have the protective elements of testosterone and the body has a good supply of Estradiol to convert into DHT especially if you have in effect been supplementing with female hormones by using something like Cassodex.

 

 

At that point, your doctors will tell you that you have hormone resistant prostate cancer. What they won’t mention of course, is that they have caused that to be the case.

 

The only sensible answer to the problem that you have created for yourself over decades is to reduce your level of Estradiol. There is no drug that can do that. And it is very difficult and slow to do that. The only way to achieve that result is by a combination of change of diet, vigorous exercise, and appropriate
supplements, you have made a start, now the rest is up to you.

 

 

I wish you good health,

 

 

Ben

FDA Warns

April 4, 2013

 

statinsFDA warns again  that Proscar, Propecia, Avodart, Jalyn Increase Risk of High-Grade Prostate Cancer

 

 

For at least 10 years now I have been telling men they should avoid these prostate drugs. I had seen the studies that the FDA have finally acknowledged.
 

 

Large bureaucratic organizations like the FDA have conflicts of interests and inevitably move very slowly.

 

 
Many men have been fortunate enough to take my early advice and moved to my safe alternative supplements. If you are still taking these drugs, now is the time to stop them.

 

 

All of the drugs must change their labels to warn of the risk, which unexpectedly appeared in two different large-scale clinical trials. Ironically, these trials were funded by the manufacturers who hoped to position Proscar and Avodart as drugs to use to lower the risk of prostate cancer. But the studies proved the exact opposite of the result they had hoped for.
 

 

The FDA ruling follows the December 2010 vote of an FDA advisory panel, which rejected requests from Merck (for Proscar) and GlaxoSmithKline (for Avodart) to claim that the drugs prevent prostate cancer.
 

 

 

The male hair-loss drug Propecia has the same active ingredient as Proscar, although at one-fifth the dose. But the FDA says Propecia should carry the same prostate cancer warning as Proscar.
 

 

Proscar, Avodart, and Propecia are in the same class of drugs, known as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors or 5-ARIs. Jalyn has the same active ingredient as Avodart, together with a drug called tamsulosin Flomax).
 

 

The FDA warning does not include Flomax, which is in a different class of prostate drugs called alpha blockers. Other alpha blockers include Cardura, Hytrin, Uroxetral, and Rapaflow. But Flomax and these other alpha blockers produce a whole different set of problems.
 

 

My consistent message for almost ten years now has been that drugs (or invasive treatments) for the prostate are not the way to go. There is no easy quick fix by popping a pill or having invasive procedures. But the good news is that a combination of changes in diet, exercise and my supplements do work to heal prostate problems.
 

 

If you have not yet tried Total Health for the Prostate, I urge you to try it.

 

 

 

If you would like to understand or know more about your personal prostate issues or any  other chronic health issues, I would be happy to respond. Just reply to this blog.

 

 

 

I wish you good health,

Brainwashed

March 12, 2013

brainwashed

Given the vast sums of money that the pharmaceutical corporations spend on advertising and promotions, and with the active support of the medical establishment, perhaps it is not a surprise that they have brainwashed the majority of the population of the United States.

 

People mistakenly believe that pharmaceutical drugs are the high point of scientific endeavor and that they help to cure disease. In my last blog, I made very clear why that is far from the case. But almost every day I will receive an e-mail from someone concerned about the effects of natural supplements upon the medication they are taking.

 

People are walking around in a state of befuddlement and ill-health precisely because of the drugs that they are taking. Most seem unaware those prescription drugs are poison. Very few are aware of the side-effects of the drugs that they are taking. Almost no one is aware that their life is at risk as a result of taking their prescription drugs. And I have made it part of my mission to explain to people that there is a better alternative.

 

I thought it might be useful for me to reproduce the message I received yesterday from one of my customers who is already on his fourth bottle of total health, so presumably he feels they are doing him some good, otherwise why would he be taking them? But then he goes on to tell me about his concerns about the effects of nutrients on his medication.

I will leave aside the fact that most of the information that he has managed to gather, presumably on the Internet, is complete nonsense. There is so much misinformation on the Internet, some of it deliberately placed there by agents of the pharmaceutical corporations.

 

The more important point is that his concern is just the wrong way round of looking at the world. He has been brainwashed so effectively that he doesn’t even see that. I leave you to see his e-mail and my response.

 

 

Hi Ben,

 

I’m on my fourth bottle of Total Health, but always keeping an eye out for information on side effects of its ingredients – especially for interactions with pharmaceuticals I am taking like Simvastatin. I realize that side effects lists can include very remote possibilities, but I’d rather be rock sure about things in this area.

 

 

Here is a list of brief statements I have found regarding several Total Health supplements, and I would appreciate your feedback:

 

 

Quercatin and naringenin increased Simvastatin PappAB by 4 times.

Quercatin can affect hormone balance and blood pressure.

 

 

Ellagic Acid increased PappAB 3 times. It may affect the way some drugs are absorbed.

 

 

Boron can act like estrogen. The kidneys have to work hard to flush it out.

 

 

Beta Carotene – Adverse interactions with vitamin A and alcohol can be carcinogenic.

 

 

A couple other references about other supplements (not in Total Health) worried me too:

 

 

NAC – might contribute to the formation of kidney stones.

 

 

Alpha Lipoic Acid – May alter thyroid hormonal levels (I take Levoxyl for a pituitary adenoma)

 

 

DIM – Boosts testosterone (I am not to have androgens).

 

 

Sorry to bother you on these but I can’t afford a misstep – I think you will understand. I am holding off taking these particular supplements until I can get clarity on them.

 

 

Thanks again, Ben!

 

 

Dave W.

 

 

My best advice to you Dave is for you to stop taking simvastatin. It is a miserable drug that can cause very serious side effects.

 

 

I can show you how to reduce your bad cholesterol levels entirely naturally and also increase your good cholesterol levels. Moreover the supplements I have in mind will also reduce your Triglycerides, uric acid, blood sugar, and BP. in fact, my supplements will make you healthy while your prescription drugs are making you sick.

 

 

The single largest cause of death in the United States is taking correctly prescribed prescription drugs and that is an official statistic. Whereas the number of people who die as a result of taking natural supplements is so tiny that it hardly registers as a statistic.

 

 

I find it totally amazing. When people worry about healthy supplements and the effect they will have upon their taking toxic prescription drugs. That is a very upside down way of looking at life.

 

 

If you also take my advice to change your diet to mainly raw vegan, then the benefit you will see and feel will totally amaze you.

 

 

I have launched a membership site that provides premium content to my list of subscribers and that will include video tutorials on how to prepare delicious raw vegan food and also a total of about 200 very fine recipes plus special discounts on my supplements.

 

I wish you good health,

 

 

Ben

Statins Stunningly Successful

February 19, 2013

 

statinsWhen I say Statins have been successful, I mean in the sense of marketing success. The American Heart Association estimates that more than 100 million Americans have high cholesterol.

 

If you walk into your doctor’s office with high cholesterol, you might, like 30 million other Americans, walk out with a prescription for a statin—a drug such as Lipitor, Crestor, Zocor, Mevacor, or Pravachol.
More money is spent on statins in the USA than on any other drug. It is a multibillion-dollar marketing success that is second to none. But how justified is that success, do statins really work? Is there anything that is better?

 
In this blog I will tell you about something that is better

 
I have been warning people for the last nine years that the side-effects of statins are potentially very damaging and that there are perfectly healthy alternative ways of reducing cholesterol without any risks. That is why I have developed supplements that will lower your bad cholesterol but also do a whole host of other good things for your health, especially in conjunction with the right diet.

 

Statins, block a liver enzyme that helps create cholesterol.statins works wonders for some: The average person taking one will see their “bad” LDL drop between 20 and 60% in a month. Unfortunately, it also reduces their “good” HDL.

 

That however, is a quick fix and effortless, so little wonder that statins have become this country’s most widely prescribed drug.

 

If you have had a heart event then taking a statin will statistically reduce your risk of another heart attack but it does not mean you will not have a heart attack.

 

If you have not had a previous heart event, then new research in the UK suggests that will make very little difference to your risk of having a heart attack. In fact, some research suggests that your risk of having congestive heart failureactually increases with the use of statins.

 

Certainly the number of people having congestive heart failure has tripled during the same period that statins have become so widely used.The BBC headlined “Questions over statin prescribing”

 

The BBC stated that Healthy people may derive no benefit from taking cholesterol-lowering statins, according to a recent review of previous studies. This study, which reviewed the evidence from 14 trials concluded “There was no evidence to justify their use in people at low risk of developing heart disease.

 

Statin drugs have also been linked to a range of side effects including liver problems, kidney failure, intracerebral hemorrhage (stroke) and muscle weakness.

 

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the American medicines regulator, issued a warning for patients to look out for signs of problems when taking 80mg daily doses of simvastatin (Zocor).

 

The FDA also found that patients on 80mg a day of simvastatin were likely to develop myopathy, a severe form of muscle damage. Over six years, 52 of the 6,031 patients taking 80mg doses developed myopathy. Celoped rhabdomyolysis, is the most serious form of myopathy, which can lead to kidney failure and death.

 

Some studies have shown that statins could raise the chance of depression and impair cognitive ability.

 

The new report the BBC was referring to stated “It is doubtful if Statins provide any real benefits for people without heart and circulatory disease and who are at low risk of developing it.”

 

And in those circumstances would you really want to take the risks that are associated with taking statins when there is no real benefit?

 

In other words, if your doctor has prescribed statins to you based on nothing else other than a high level of cholesterol, you are potentially damaging your health for no good reason.

 

So now let me tell you about a healthy alternative. My supplements were designed to help people with metabolic disease, which includes diabetes, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, Gout, high uric acid, high blood pressure, high Triglycerides and Cholesterol.

 

I know that all these conditions are found very often in men who also have prostate problems. So, if you suffer from any of those conditions, then you should take a look at these supplements.

 

Frankly, if you do suffer from a bunch of those conditions above you are headed for serious disease and suffering. And now is the time to turn your health around.  If you also follow the diet that I recommend, you can add 20 good healthy years to your life expectancy. And what price would you put on that?

 

I wish you good health.

Supposed Miracle Drug

December 29, 2012

When a drug is promoted by the pharmaceutical corporations, prescribed by a doctor and has been approved by the FDA you would be forgiven for believing that the drug will help.

 

Unfortunately, with the many billions of dollars at stake, morality and ethical considerations fly out the window. Without fail, every year, there are one or two, and sometimes more, drugs withdrawn because they turn out to do far more damage than good.

 

Can you really have any confidence that the drugs you may be taking, that have not been withdrawn, are really helping you?


The plain fact is that virtually every drug that is released is designed to reduce or mask symptoms. A few set out to extend life expectancy in the face off a life-threatening disease. But hardly any ever set out actually to cure a disease.

 

It is important both to understand that and the fact that every drug brings with it some baggage. The side effects of many drugs are often as bad as the disease itself and sometimes even worse.

 

Even if these prescription drugs were free instead of very expensive they would still not represent a free lunch because of the side effects.

 

Way back in 2000 when Wyeth asked the FDA to give accelerated approval to Mylotarg, it was promoted as a miracle drug that would improve remission rate, and increase overall survival by a few months in treating a relatively rare type of blood cancer called acute myeloid leukemia (AML), which occurs mostly in people over the age of 60.

 

Ten years later, Wyeth is no more. They were purchased by Pfizer in 2009. But the study Wyeth started when they got fast track approval years ago continued. One full decade after Mylotarg’s hasty approval, Pfizer abruptly stopped the study and took the drug off the market for two reasons:

 

1) Mylotarg use showed no benefit, and
2) Compared to patients who used standard therapy, it appeared that patients who used standard therapy plus Mylotarg were FOUR TIMES more likely to die during the study!

 

Business Week reports that the sales of Mylotarg in the first quarter of its release were nearly $9 million. But only about 2,500 patients have been using Mylotarg each year because it is a rare disease.

 

Each patient paid more than $14,000 for the required two injections of a drug that doesn’t work and might be fatal. For big Pharma that is peanuts, hardly enough to buy off a politician.

 

But for most patients and their families a $14,000 medical bill is a serious hardship. You can be sure that many were plunged into debt or raided their life savings to give their loved one every chance to live, based entirely on Mylotarg’s status as a promising miracle drug.

 

The moral of the story is to be very suspicious of promises made for prescription drugs. Make sure you really understand the downsides. Do not take any prescription drug blindly or for granted. And in the case of prostate disease particularly, check out what less-harmful natural means exist that can do the same job if not a better one and without any side effects.

 

 

I wish you good health,

Testosterone Good? or Bad?

December 14, 2012

Hi Paul,

Testosterone is not the problem. If it were, 18-year-old men would all get prostate cancer. They have a lot more testosterone than you. Here is the way it works. You spend decades eating a Western diet which has a high proportion of animal protein with lots of animal fats.

Why Statins are a Big NO!

December 5, 2012

The most commonly prescribed drugs in the world are Statins. I have always disapproved of them because the problem is a non-problem.

 

It is perfectly possible – even easy – to reduce your Cholesterol levels with diet and natural nutrients. Plus the side-effect dangers with Statins are considerable.

 

Moreover I have always said that Cholesterol is the feedstock for Testosterone so it is not a good idea to reduce Cholesterol levels too far.

 

Now, Italian researchers say they found the connection between low Cholesterol and low Testosterone with consequent low libido.

 

After studying data on nearly 3,500 men who visited an outpatient clinic in Florence to complain about sex problems, they made this connection according to the study in the Journal of Sexual Medicine.
 

They say Statins tell the pituitary gland that the body doesn’t need any more testosterone, so it shuts down production.
 

So rather than worry about cholesterol levels, and take a toxic drug to reduce it right down, you should care like the dickens about your testosterone levels because there’s a lot more at stake than having a healthy appetite for sex.
 

Low testosterone levels can lead to low energy, sleepiness, irritability and depression (of course it’s quite natural to be depressed and irritable if you can’t perform in the bedroom!). It can ruin your mental focus and turn you into a weakling. Plus low Testosterone together with high Estrogen increases your risk of getting Prostate Cancer.

 

The body cuts back on production of Testosterone as we age, most of us need more — not less. If you’re past a certain age, you are quite likely to need a boost. My combination of tinctures will increase your testoreone; improve your libido and erectile dysfunction safely. Those three tinctures together are also very helpful for prostate health, especially if you also take my Total Health supplement as well.

 

Here is some further research just released by Nottingham University in the UK.

 

The new research builds on existing evidence that Statins can cause liver damage and adds a new risk of developing cataracts.

 

Previous research had suggested that the medicine could protect against the problem, which can lead to blindness, but the new study, of two million patients over six years, show that that is not the case.

 

Researchers found that for every 10,000 women treated with statins for a year there would be 74 extra cases of liver damage, 23 extra cases of kidney failure and 307 extra cases of cataracts.

 

There would also be 39 extra cases of muscle wastage, another known side effect of statins.

 

Similar figures were found for men taking the drugs.

 

The answer is to control cholesterol levels by diet, exercise and natural supplements.

 

I formulated four supplements that can help weight loss even for people that have a great resistance to it.

 

They are great supplements that will also help to prevent diabetes or control it if you already have it.

 

Curiously, since that was not the prime intention of formulating them, they will also bring down cholesterol levels dramatically and quite safely.

 

Another secondary benefit is that these four supplements together with an appropriate diet will also help people with digestive problems such as irritable bowel syndrome.

 

If you have any of these problems and want to know more, just e-mail me.

 

I wish you good health,

 

Ben

Killer Prostate Drugs

December 5, 2012

For at least the last nine years, I have been advising clients against any 5 alpha reductase drug. My opposition to such drugs was based on the latest study on Finasteride which I detail below. Over the years, further information has emerged which I also detail.

 

In the case of Avodart I was making an assumption that even though it is a different drug it is also a 5 alpha reductase drug and therefore was likely to have similar side effects and consequences.

 

Finasteride has downsides. A Norris Cancer Institute study on Finasteride in 1999 found that while it reduced the incidence of prostate cancer by 25% it also increased the incidence of the virluent fatal form of prostate cancer by 300%.

 

In fact a recent article in the UK’s Daily Telegraph newspaper has detailed a study showing that Finasteride also increases your risk of getting male breast cancer. The manufacturer is going to have to put a warning on the label in the UK.

 

Finasteride is a feminizing drug. As a result it reduces ejaculate. It depresses libido and can cause problems with sexual function including erectile dysfunction. The same goes for Avodart.

 

Everything has to be put in the context that there is a perfectly good, in fact better and healthier solution for an enlarged prostate. Why take a toxic and dangerous drug that has unfortunate side effects, when diet, exercise and my supplement total health is safe, healthy, and effective?

 

Recently a new study on Avodart was published in the New England Medical Journal. GlaxoSmithKline, which manufacturers Avodart, paid for the study; Andriole received consulting and lecture fees from GlaxoSmithKline and other drug companies.

 

GSK is seeking approval for Avodart from the Food and Drug Administration to be used as a cancer preventive for men at higher-than-normal risk of the disease. The drug is already sold for urinary problems and I have opposed its use for that. Such a new approval could open a large lucrative market for them, but probably cause harm to their customers.

 

What is interesting is that my assumption that Avogart would have exactly the same problems as Finasteride has been borne out by this new study.

 

After four years, there were 659 prostate cancers among the 3,305 men on Avodart, compared with 858 cancers among the 3,424 men on a placebo. Thus, Avodart cut cancer risk 23 percent — about the same as in the finasteride study.

 

But a more complex picture emerges from data on the aggressiveness of the cancers — indicated by a “Gleason score” — and when the tumors were detected by biopsy.

 

Compared with the placebo group, the Avodart group had far fewer non-aggressive cancers, roughly the same number of somewhat-aggressive cancers, but a significantly greater number of extremely aggressive “high- grade” cancers — the kind that are often fatal.

 

Over four years, Avodart takers were diagnosed with 29 high-grade cancers, compared with 19 for men on a placebo. The disparity surfaced in the third and fourth years, when men on Avodart had 12 high-grade tumors, while the placebo group had only one.

 

American Cancer Society Director of Prostate and Colorectal Cancers Durado Brooks, MD, admitted to WebMD in an interview. “We now have two studies showing that two different drugs in this category can reduce the overall risk of prostate cancer, But we don’t have studies saying that they decrease the risk of death from prostate cancer.”

 

That of course is the nub of the problem with all the toxic drugs and invasive treatments which conventional medicine uses to treat prostate disease and cancer. The pharmaceutical corporations certainly like to measure things like PSA, Gleason and the size of a tumor but what they really hate to do is look at eventual outcomes. The reason for that of course, is that the eventual outcome never seems to be beneficial. Independent researchers however, need to look at eventual outcomes.

 

Here is an excerpt from the latest study by Researchers at the Institute for Clinical and Economic Review, which is based at the Massachusetts General Hospital’s Institute for Technology Assessment published by the National cancer institute on their website January 12th.

 

They concluded that the various approaches—including active surveillance, surgery, and radiation therapy—result in similar overall survival and tumor recurrence rates. However, compared with the immediate treatment options, active surveillance yields both a comparable net health benefit and more quality- adjusted life years for men age 65 and older, according to the economic model used in this study.

 

So back to the study on Avodart, the study also found a higher rate of cardiac failure in men taking dutasteride (Avodart) – 0.7 percent vs. 0.4 percent for those taking the placebo.

 

So not only do you have to suffer unfortunate side effects if you take Avodart, but you also have a greater chance of getting a fatal form of prostate cancer and a greater chance of suffering a fatal heart attack.

 

If you are currently taking either Proscar (Finasteride) or a Avodart (Dutasteride) please consider trying a natural and holistic method to achieve better and safer results.

 

I highly recommend that you read my guide “All about the Prostate” to know more how to deal with your prostate disease naturally.

 

 

I wish you good health,

 

Ben Ong

Confusion Reigns Part II: Synthetic vs Natural

October 13, 2012

 

As I have mentioned in my previous article, today’s article will explain the difference between Prescription Drugs, Herbal Supplements and Food supplements. It seems most people have only a very vague or even no understanding of the differences between Prescription drugs, Herbal Supplements and Food Supplements.

What is the difference between synthetic and natural?

Avodart Increases the Risk of getting serious Prostate Cancer

March 28, 2011

On December 1, 2010 the board of federal health rejected the use of Avodart drugs from GlaxoSmithKline in preventing prostate cancer. The panel voted 14-2 against licensing the use of Avodart drug from GlaxoSmithKline. The board believed the evidence suggests that these drugs might potentially raise the risk of acquiring the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer tumors. The members believe that the Avodart drug’s potential risk outweighed its benefits. Dr. Wyndham Wilson of the National Cancer Institute states that Avodart drugs have not succeeded in showing the benefits and assuring the complete safety of the drug among its consumers.
