24 Different Kinds of Prostate Cancer

May 17, 2013

New research is now showing that there is not a single disease called prostate cancer but in fact about 24 different kinds of prostate cancer.

prostatecancer

Most urologists will just simply tell you that they have detected prostate cancer or they have not. And that of course is only 85% reliable. The only detailed diagnosis you might get would be a Gleason score which provides some indication as to how aggressive the cancer is. But that diagnosis is incredibly superficial and can be very misleading.

It turns out that there may be different causes of prostate cancer, not necessarily the same causes that produces cancerous cells in the prostates of most older men. 

Why is this important?

If there is no differentiation made then the chances are the treatment offered will be of the variety of “one size fits all”. And in that case you are most likely to be over-treated and that probably means unnecessary potential damage to the quality of your life.

The risk assessment that you get if you join my Advance Prostate cancer Risk Assessment is very much more specific and that enables me now to help my APCRA customers to have a custom targeted botanical tincture formulated to meet the precise needs of their condition.

Let me give you an example, more than 50% of men discover that they have prostate cancer after finding that they have a high PSA. There are specific herbs like saw palmetto  and also herb extracts like Beta Sitosterol that will drive down a high PSA. But almost 50% of men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer have a low PSA. There is absolutely no point in giving such men saw palmetto or beta sitosterol. There are botanicals that will help such men but you will never find those botanicals in any standard prostate supplement.

Because my APCRA generates a very detailed profile, that information used in conjunction with my consulting a compounding pharmacist who also happens to be a very knowledgeable botanist, enables me to formulate a tincture that is custom made for those of my APCRA who need something more specific.

Please visit my website for more information

I wish you good health.

Russian Roulette

May 4, 2013

 

If you’re not familiar with the term Russian Roulette, that is where you take an old Colt 45 revolver, place one bullet in a single chamber, spin the Chambers, hold the pistol against your head and then pull the trigger. You do not know which chamber contains the bullet so that gives you a one in six chance of committing suicide. I guess some people like to live or die dangerously.

 

russian_roulette

 

So why do I use this term for the subject of this blog. I would like to make the point that when you start conventional invasive treatments, that is like playing Russian roulette., At least in the sense that you really do not know the outcome that you are going to get.

 

 

Below, I am reporting on a new recent study/poll that confirms what I have known for a very long time, that men have very unrealistic expectations when they undertake conventional medical treatment for their prostate.

 

 

I know it, because I received thousands of e-mails from men with prostate disease every week. Inevitably, some of those e-mails make it very plain that the writer has had treatment and is both surprised and dismayed by his outcome.

 

As part of the new survey, 152 men who had part or all of their prostate removed for cancer treatment filled out a questionnaire before surgery. They first had counselling to educate them about the risks of the procedure, which include erectile dysfunction and incontinence.

 

 

The questions asked about their expectations of urinary, bowel and sexual function a year after the surgery. About half of men expected that they would have the same function after surgery as before, and 17 percent of men anticipated better sexual function after the surgery.

One year later, the researchers followed up with the patients and found that just 36 percent of men’s expectations for urinary function matched the true outcomes, and only 40 percent of the expectations for sexual function matched reality.

 

 

Daniela Wittmann, the sexual health coordinator in the urology department at the University of Michigan and a researcher on the study, said doctors are unable to predict how well an individual patient is likely to recover their urinary and sexual functions.

 

 

One recent study showed that, one year after surgery, only one out of four men recovered his ability to have intercourse.

 

 

The inability to get an erection is one of the more common side effects from prostate cancer surgery. Some men can have a “nerve sparing” procedure, which is supposed to leave the nerves that control erections intact. But thatoften does not work.

 

The bottom line is that the majority of men who undergo surgery to treat prostate cancer find themselves with greater incontinence problems and less sexual function than they had anticipated, according to this poll.

 

Dr. Tracey Krupski, an assistant professor of urology at the University of Virginia, and who was not involved in this study, said “Any intervention that you do to a patient, whether it be surgical or radiation, is never going to make the person (function) better than they are at the present time”

 

 

How about that for an understatement?

 

 

According to the American Cancer Society, one out of every six men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer at some point. Every year, tens of thousands of men select surgery for their treatment.

 

So, is there an alternative to conventional invasive surgical treatments? Yes, there is. One alternative is to use a more natural, holistic and gentle approach. Since all the studies point to the fact that your life expectancy remains the same whether or not you have invasive treatments, there is no downside to a natural approach. It cannot do worse. But it may do better. And the best news is that you have close to zero chance of having any of the downsides associated with invasive treatments.

 

If you are considering a biopsy or any treatment, let me tell you about a far better alternative to a prostate biopsy or conventional treatment. There is a professor of Urology (who is also a naturopathic physician) who has a unique technology and expertise. His technology is non-invasive and therefore far safer than a biopsy. Moreover, it is more accurate and less expensive than biopsy. We have created an all-inclusive APCRA .  He provides the diagnostics & monitoring for that disease management program and I provide the mentoring for supplements, nutrition and lifestyle changes based upon his diagnosis. If that is of interest to you, email me @ ben.ong@yoag.com  and I will send you further information.

 

I wish you good health,

Prostate and Diabetes

May 3, 2013

 

What has diabetes to do with prostate disease?

diabetes

 

 

It turns out that it has a great deal to do with it. That isn’t all that surprising given that they are both metabolic diseases.

 

 

 

The very same negative aspects of diet and lifestyle which can cause prostate disease and prostate cancer will also over time cause diabetes. Of course there are genetic predispositions.

 

 

One man may be predisposed to get prostate cancer but not to get diabetes and vice versa. So they do not always occur together and of course a predisposition does not mean a disease is inevitable, it just means you have to take more care.

 

 

It is not surprising therefore that there are many studies that show that having one disease makes you more likely to have the other as well.

 

 

The most worrying thing about diabetes is that many men will be walking around with diabetes and not know it, and many others will be prediabetic or hyperglycaemic which means that they are on an inevitable path to becoming diabetic.

 

 

This is especially true for men who have a waistline of 37 inches or more. There are many life and quality-of-life threatening diseases that come about as a consequence of diabetes. And undiagnosed diabetes is even more dangerous in the sense that not knowing means you’re doing nothing about it.

 

 

Why should you care? Because if you do have diabetes whether diagnosed or undiagnosed, you are at considerable risk of an early death, especially from a stroke or heart attack.

 

 

You would also be at risk of many diseases that will significantly reduce the quality of your life. These include blindness, amputations and kidney disease requiring dialysis. I detail some of the statistics further down

 

 

A new study being published in the Lancet this week was led by Professor Majid Ezzati from Imperial College London shows that type II diabetes has doubled in the last three decades and is set to rise still further.

 

 

I cured myself of Diabetes in 6 weeks. If you are interested to be cured of your diabetes and to come off all your medication, I can show you how to do so. I have done that myself and I guarantee I can do the same for you. If that interests you please email me and I will provide with more information.

 

 
Below are increased risks for those suffering Diabetes:

 

 

Heart Disease and Stroke (Stroke is 2 to 4 times higher)

 

 

Hypertension (two thirds have hypertension),

 

 

Blindness and Eye Problem (almost one third  age 40 years or older had diabetic retinopathy)

 

 

Kidney Disease (almost half of all new cases of kidney failure results from Diabetes)

 

 

Nervous System Disease  (two thirds of people with diabetes have mild to severe forms of nervous system damage)

 

 

Amputations (More than 60 percent of nontraumatic lower-limb amputations occur in people with diabetes)

 

 

Dental Disease (About one-third of people with diabetes have severe periodontal disease)

 

 

Other Complications:

•    Uncontrolled diabetes often leads to biochemical imbalances that can cause acute life-threatening events, such as diabetic ketoacidosis and hyperosmolar—nonketotic—coma.

•    People with diabetes are more susceptible to many other illnesses. Once they acquire these illnesses, they often have worse prognoses. For example, they are more likely to die with pneumonia or influenza than people who do not have diabetes.

•    People with diabetes ages 60 years or older are 2 to 3 times more likely to report an inability to walk one-quarter of a mile, climb stairs, or do housework compared with people without diabetes in the same age group.

•    People with diabetes are twice as likely to have depression, which can complicate diabetes management, than people without diabetes. In addition, depression is associated with a 60 percent increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

 

 

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

 

 

I wish you good health,

Omega 3 and an Early Warning

April 28, 2013

I have received a number of emails about articles that have recently appeared very widely in the media suggesting that supplementing Omega three could actually increase your risk of prostate cancer.

omega3

 

Please don’t stop taking your flax oil, this is not a significant result as I explain below.

 

 

The results were not from a new study but they were data mined from a study that completed in 2003. The actual study in question was not about Omega three it was about men taking Finasteride.

 

 

Researchers from the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center found when reviewing the past data, that men who had the high levels of decosahexaenoic acid, a common form of omega-3 fat, were two and a half times more likely to develop aggressive high grade prostate cancer than men with the lowest levels.

 

Conversely, those who had the highest levels of Trans fat, which has been shown to cause inflammation and heart disease, had the lowest risk of developing prostate cancer. The researchers said that the seemingly paradoxical findings may indicate that what is good for the heart is not necessarily good for the prostate.

 

The media love to hype up a controversial finding and this finding is controversial because there have been dozens of studies specifically to find whether Omega three provides benefits. And the all of such studies have agreed that there are benefits both for the prevention of prostate cancer and more obviously for the prevention of heart disease (which in fact kills even more men than prostate cancer does).

 

 

Similarly, dozens of studies have found that trans fats cause heart disease and encourage the development of cancer.

 

 

One swallow does not make a summer and one study does not prove anything conclusively. I believe it is highly unlikely that these contrary results will ever be replicated by any subsequent study.

 

 

I should also add that this data was taken from men who are also taking finasteride and that factor by itself could be the cause of such contrary results.

 

 

That is one of the disadvantages of going back and examining the results from a study that was never intended to come to any conclusions about what you are now examining.

Having said that there are better ways both to get fiber and Omega 3 which are the two things that you get from flax seed. Omega 3 is very important both for the prostate and general health.

 

 

I do food powders which are based on chia seeds. These have more soluble fiber, more Omega threes and do not need grinding. For the best source of Omega 3 however, you should really get my Antarctica Krill oil. I take four capsules of that every day. That is pure, virgin, natural and not only do you get unprocessed highly concentrated Omega three. You also get phospholipids which are the same Omega three found in the brain and they also transfer through cell membranes very rapidly, so they are very bio-available. Plus you get astaxanthine which is a very powerful antioxidant .

 

 

These are all naturally present in krill, which is caught in Antarctica, where there is no pollution. That is why they do not need to processed.

 

 

The food powders are really quite expensive so I would recommend you go for the krill oil. Below is the link where you can read about it. As for fiber, I recommend you eat a Hass Avocado  every day. I just put some vinaigrette, seasalt and black pepper on mine for breakfast.

 

Antarctican Krill Oil

 

I wish you good health,

Is Testosterone Good or Bad?

April 24, 2013

 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

How Doctors Kill

April 19, 2013

 

One of my readers sent me a report by Gary Null PhD, Carolyn Dean MD ND, Martin Feldman MD, Debora Rasio MD, Dorothy Smith PhD.

 

 

It made very interesting reading and I’m going to provide you with a synopsis in this newsletter, in some cases I will produce extracts verbatim. In all cases, I shall avoid citing bibliography because this is a newsletter rather than a study.

 

 

Most men who contact me are already having some conventional medical treatment for their prostate or are considering having it. I usually provide very specific information about the success or failings of drugs prescribed for the prostate or treatments offered for the prostate.
 

 

This report goes much wider than that, and it highlights the immense failings of the conventional medical industry. Any other industry that had this degree of failure would simply not get away with it. They would be bankrupt. In the case of the medical industry, they make money hand over fist, despite their failures.

 

 

 

The content of this report is especially important for those men who believe that their doctor always knows best. You really need to be a bit cautious before you accept the advice of your Dr.

 

 

 

Iatrogenic deaths refer to those deaths that are caused by prescription drugs or medical treatments. A very high proportion of both drugs and treatments are actually unnecessary.

 

 

 

What is remarkable about this report is that never before have the complete statistics on the multiple causes of iatrogenesis been combined in one paper. Medical science amasses tens of thousands of papers annually– each one a tiny fragment of the whole picture.

 

 

 

To look at only one piece and try to understand the benefits and risks is to stand one inch away from an elephant and describe everything about it. You have to pull back to reveal the complete picture, such as has been done in this report.

 

 

 

Each specialty, each division of medicine, keeps their own records and data on morbidity and mortality like pieces of a puzzle. But the numbers and statistics were always hiding in plain sight. This report has now completed the painstaking work of reviewing thousands and thousands of studies. Finally, putting the puzzle together. The report came up with some disturbing answers.

 

 

 

At 14 percent of the Gross National Product, health care has spent $1.6 trillion in 2003. How much more do you think they have spent year after year? Considering this enormous expenditure, we should have the best medicine in the world. We should be reversing disease, preventing disease, and doing minimal harm.

 

However, careful and objective review shows the opposite. Because of the extraordinary narrow context of medical technology through which contemporary medicine examines the human condition, we are completely missing the full picture.

 

 

Conventional Medicine is not taking into consideration the following monumentally important aspects of a healthy human organism: (a) stress and how it adversely affects the immune system and life processes; (b) insufficient exercise; (c) excessive caloric intake; (d) highly-processed and denatured foods grown in denatured and chemically damaged soil; and (e) exposure to tens of thousands of environmental toxins.

 

 

 

Instead of minimizing these disease-causing factors, we actually cause more illness through medical technology, diagnostic testing, overuse of medical and surgical procedures, and overuse of pharmaceutical drugs. The huge disservice of this therapeutic strategy is the result of little effort or money being appropriated for preventing disease.

 

 

stethoscope

 

 

A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good. The number of people having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed medicine is 2.2 million. Dr. Richard Besser, of the CDC, in 1995, said the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections was 20 million. Dr. Besser, in 2003, now refers to tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics.

 

The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million. The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million.
 
The total number of iatrogenic deaths shown in the following table is 783,936. It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. The 2001 heart disease annual death rate is 699,697; the annual cancer death rate, 553,251.

 

Any medical procedure that is invasive and not necessary must be considered as part of the larger iatrogenic picture. Unfortunately, cause and effect go unmonitored, because it is not in the interests of conventional medicine to monitor those figures. The figures on unnecessary events represent people (?patients?) who are thrust into a dangerous healthcare system. They are helpless victims. Each one of these 16.4 million lives is being affected in a way that could have a fatal consequence. The phrase  nosocomial  refers to those infections that are specifically caused by entry into hospital. Simply entering a hospital could result in the following:

1.    In 16.4 million people, 2.1% chance of a serious adverse drug reaction,1 (186,000)

 

2.    In 16.4 million people, 5-6% chance of acquiring a nosocomial infection,9 (489,500)

 
3.    In 16.4 million people, 4-36% chance of having an iatrogenic injury in hospital (medical error and adverse drug reactions),16 (1.78 million)
 
4.    In 16.4 million people, 17% chance of a procedure error,40(1.3 million)

 
All the statistics above represent a one-year time span. Imagine the numbers over a ten-year period. Working with the most conservative figures from our statistics we project the following 10-year death rates.

 

 

 

The projected statistic of 7.8 million iatrogenic deaths in this report is more than all the casualties from wars that America has fought in its entire history. The projected figures for unnecessary medical events occurring over a 10- year period are also dramatic.

 

 

 

These projected figures show that a total of 164 million people, approximately 56% of the population of the United States, have been treated unnecessarily by the medical industry I in other words, nearly 50,000 people per day.

 

 
What does all this amount to? What is telling me is that this is confirmation in spades of my belief the man is better off avoiding conventional medicine altogether when it comes to prostate disease. My constant theme is that any man with any prostate disease is better to avoid his Dr and urologist and to concentrate on the natural, holistic and safe ways to heal oneself of disease. Such methods certainly do not guarantee success, but then neither does conventional medicine and it does harm, whereas natural does not.

 

 

If you are not already taking some of my natural supplements, may I suggest that you should try my “total health for the prostate“. It is extraordinarily successful for most. If you buy three bottles of my total health, you will also receive a complimentary copy of my guide which normally costs $79.

 

 

 

I wish you good health,

Treatments Can Be Worse Than the Disease

April 11, 2013

 

A nationally recognized prostate cancer specialist with more than 30 years treatment expertise advocates in a press release that men and their partners “do their homework” prior to selecting treatment for prostate cancer that could cause severe, lifelong quality of life issues.
 

 

One in six men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes.

treatment

 

South Florida urologist Dr. Bert Vorstman takes a critical view on manufacturers, hospital systems and some colleagues who minimize the after effects of radical surgeries while continuing to endorse the procedures as a viable option.
 

 

“I believe that the radical surgical/robotic treatment option has single-handedly increased the incidence of impotence and incontinence worldwide, and physicians would do well to consider the Hippocrates affirmation: As to diseases, make a habit of two things–to help, or at least, to do no harm,” challenged Vorstman in his article. “Men who choose these treatments without reviewing alternative, less invasive options are playing Russian Roulette with the quality of life prospects following the surgery.”

 

 

For some, these issues are worse than the disease itself,” said Vorstman.
 

 

“I want patients to realize that prostate cancer is not an emergency diagnosis,” stated Dr. Vorstman.

 

 

 

“When we hear the word cancer, we assume fast, aggressive treatment is required. Most prostate cancers are slow growing, which means patients and their partners have time to do their research and make a fully informed decision about treatment. As long as the cancer is not growing aggressively, patients can wait before seeking treatment.”
 

 

In his article Dr. Vorstman states “Seeing a man despondent and wearing diapers because he is no longer able to control his urine flow after his radical surgery/robotics treatment of his prostate cancer is a very, very sad sight. Sadder still is seeing his wife trying to support and console her man. Both are in despair, confused and wondering how this predicament came to be, was this necessary and where do they go forward with their lives from here? For him, trying to share his feelings with his surgeon and his prostate cancer support group is an empty and fruitless task. Hardly is it surprising then to hear some of these men afflicted with these horrible complications tell me that “their” choice to have their prostate cancer removed through radical surgery/robotics was, “the worst decision of my life”
 

I could not argue with what he says but before you rush off to see Dr. Vorstman, let me warn you. He has an agenda. His article is designed to generate interest and to present himself as caring and alternative. He may be caring but he isn’t alternative. He recommends biopsy. I have been told by many men that he invariably promotes his HIFU technology and his attack on robotic surgery is designed to convince you that HIFU is less invasive. In my book, HIFU is also invasive.
 

 

I prefer my Professor in my Arizona clinic. If you are concerned that you may have prostate cancer, let me tell you about a far better alternative to a prostate biopsy. There is a professor of Urology (who is also a naturopathic physician) that has a unique technology and expertise. His technology is non-invasive and therefore far safer than Biopsy. Moreover, it is more accurate and less expensive than biopsy. We have created an all-inclusive APCRA. This is genuinely non invasive. Phranq Tamburri does not have an agenda to sell you any treatment.

 

If you wish to supplement Testosterone, this APCRA program would also enable you to continue with testosterone supplementation safely since it will monitor whether you do have a tumor or not and the growth of it. In other words, you will not be supplementing testosterone blindly.

 

He provides the diagnostics for that disease management program and I provide the mentoring for supplements, nutrition and lifestyle changes based upon his diagnosis.
 

 

I wish you good health,

Elephants, Gorillas and Buffalos

March 25, 2013

 

Firsts, I want to apologize for the lack of post this past week as I have been busy with my membership site and the completion of my anti-aging program.

 

We all know that nothing seems to be as confusing as the subject of what to eat for good health.

 

That is why I started my membership site.

 

In the run-up to the opening of that site a few months ago, I sent a number of newsletters and invited you to see introductory videos. There were two main points I was making. The first was that the key to a longer, healthier life was to consume fewer calories.
 

The second related message was that a raw vegan diet was the healthiest of diets because the key to consuming fewer calories was to consume food with the greatest amount of concentrated nutrition.

 

A raw vegan diet gives you that concentrated nutrition, especially if you also eat a number of superfoods (more on that to follow). If you do that, your body will more quickly feel that it has eaten enough and the hunger that moves you to consume more calories simply disappears.
 

That seems to be a very hard concept for most people to take on board because almost from the moment we are born we are bombarded with highly misleading messages from the food industry and from the fads in the diet industry.
 

One of those misleading messages is that you have to eat more animal protein for your health. The dairy and meat marketing organizations would also have you believe that you can get protein from dairy and meat products. Nothing could be further from the truth.
So it was not surprising when I got a question from Rob who is a long-standing customer. He was having trouble understanding what I actually meant. I thought I would share his question with you and also my answer since it may clarify things for you too.
 

Hello Ben,

I totally subscribe to the idea that calorie restriction is a way to longer life but am not sure how far to take it.

 

 

What calorie level have you either experienced or seen that would give a clue here? 

 

 

Some say 1200 calories should be the minimum for an active male.
 

 

What do you think?

 

 

Further I do have trouble with the idea that our daily protein needs can be had from vegetable sources alone.
 

As always, thank you for your attention,
Rob
 

Hi Rob,

I am not advocating calorie counting or restricting nutrition to a specific number of calories. That simply does not work because very few people can resist hunger. That is why 99% of diets inevitably fail.
 

What I am suggesting is that you can avoid hunger if you eat the right diet. It is a fact that if you go onto a raw vegan diet, not only will you get absolutely a sufficiency of the nutrients that you need (providing you follow my advice on what to eat) but you will automatically wish to eat less because you will be less hungry. Your own body will regulate your appetite and you will feel totally satisfied. Your body will also find its own weight equilibrium automatically and without any stress.
 

Please trust me; you will not go short of protein. You will have more energy and be stronger and have more stamina.

 

 

Just look at nature’s vegans. An Elephant, Gorilla, or Buffalo all eat nothing other than vegetation. Do you really think they do not get enough protein? Are they not big enough and strong enough? I would not want to mess with any of them.

 

 

If you do a lot of exercise or sports, then you do need to make sure that you get a significant amount of protein within an hour of doing so. Otherwise the exercise will be counter-productive. I do a vegan protein powder which is very bioavailable and has a very balanced amino acid profile made from a hypoallergenic, organic, non-GMO  combination of yellow pea, sprouted Brown rice and hemp seed.

 

 

 

Most commercially available protein powders are derived from soy eggs or dairy which are often problematic for those with allergic dietary concerns. If you would like to read about my superior protein powder, please click here.

 

 
If you did not subscribe to my membership site and still wish to do so, Please go here.

 

 

I wish you good health,
 

 

Ben

Culture of Death

March 13, 2013

Let me tell you what I mean about the culture of death. light

 

 

In the Western world especially, we get sick, very sick as we age. The cause is metabolic disease, which basically means that it is largely to do with what we put in our mouths over tens of years.

 

In other words, it is disease that is largely self- inflicted and almost totally avoidable. Metabolic diseases include all the cancers including prostate cancer, diabetes, heart disease, arterial disease, diseases of the digestive system to mention just a few. There are in fact, many more.

 

Today I’m going to deal specifically with cancer as it is one of the great killers of our time. It is also a very good example of what is wrong with our society and what you can personally do about it to make it right for you.

 

If you listen to the promotions and advertising by the medical establishment, you will believe that all is well. They will tell you that they are winning the war against cancer.

 

The cancer industry is certainly a very successful industry. Worldwide, it consumes $200 billion every year. It keeps doctors, surgeons, hospitals, equipment manufacturers, pharmaceutical manufacturers all in very healthy profits.

 

 

The cancer industry also has a very healthy growth because more people get cancer every single year. But that success is theirs alone, their patients do not share their success.

 

The medical fraternity would have you believe that because of their better detection and diagnostic techniques, their increased survival rates, their wonderful new drugs, and advances in genetic engineering that will literally breed cancer out of future generations.

 

They make wonderful future predictions dreamed up by their marketing departments but it is all baloney if you look at the reality of today’s statistics. They have been making these claims for 30 years and nobody has noticed that they’re making new claims, despite never having made good on any of the old ones. The medical establishment is one of the world’s greatest cons.

 

At the end of last year the Lancet reported that in the UK cancer rates have increased by 49% in women and 24% in men over the last 35 years. The United Nations cancer research agency reported that by 2030 cancer will kill more than 13.2 million people per year worldwide. That is nearly double the 7.6 million people who died of cancer in 2008.

 

The stark reality is that the medical establishment has not achieved a single meaningful advance or meaningful breakthrough in the cure of cancer in the last 50 years despite spending $200 billion a year on it.

 

And when they spend $200 billion, how much of it you think is spent on prevention? How about zero? After all, there is no profit in prevention. 

There is an obscene conflict-of-interest in the medical establishment. If they are to continue to enjoy their profitability, they have to keep you sick, so that you continue to consume their unbelievably expensive  toxic drugs and invasive treatments.

 

Here is what the World Health Organization stated very recently. 85% of adult cancers are entirely avoidable. ….. And of these, around half related to nutritional deficiencies in the Western diet.

 

How are people supposed to know what they should eat and what they should not eat? Most people get their information about what to eat from the promotions of the food industry. But the food industry does not make a single cent profit by keeping you healthy. They make their profits by getting you hooked on cheaply produced inexpensive ready-made food and I hesitate to call what they manufacture food, because it has so little nutritional value.

 

So we are surrounded by a culture of death. The food we consume makes us sick and the doctors we go to for help when we become sick, keep us even more sick.

 

I have been helping people to heal their prostate disease for almost 10 years now and in that process I have been advising people what to eat. 

 

It has become clear to me that despite my best efforts, men still seem to be very confused about what they should eat and how to find it and prepare it.

 

 

You can escape the culture of death, and make your choice to embrace the culture of life.

 

I wish you good health,

 

Ben

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!

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
