Dichloroacetic Acid (DCA) – Another inexpensive and non-patentable cancer cure which probably will never see the light of day because of the profit interests of big pharma.
BETHESDA, Md.–Men with high intakes of the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may have a reduced risk of prostate cancer, according to researchers from the National Institutes of Healths National Cancer Institute (Am J Clin Nutr, 80, 1:204-16, 2004). Increased dietary intake of alpha linolenic acid (ALA), however, may increase the risk of advanced prostate cancer.
Researchers evaluated the association between dietary intake of ALA, EPA, DHA, linoleic acid (LA) and arachidonic acid (AA) and prostate cancer risk in a cohort of 47,866 men between 40 and 75 years of age who were free from prostate cancer at the start of the study. After 14 years of follow-up, 2,965 subjects developed prostate cancer–448 of which developed advanced prostate cancer.
The researchers found men with the highest intake of EPA and DHA combined had an 11-percent reduced risk of developing prostate cancer and a 26-percent reduced risk of developing advanced prostate cancer. Researchers also found while dietary intake of ALA was unrelated to the total risk of prostate cancer, its consumption significantly increased the risk of developing advanced prostate cancer. Specifically, non-animal ALA doubled the risk and ALA from meat and dairy sources increased the risk by approximately 50 percent.

Much has been studied about the role of certain vitamins, minerals and herbs in cancer prevention. Some of the most
promising cancer prevention properties come from those vitamins that are known as antioxidants. Antioxidants are substances that protect the body’s cells from damage caused by dangerous free radicals, which can potentially cause cancer. There are many different sources of antioxidants, including herbs,
vitamins, and foods. Here are some of the most widely recommended supplements thought to help prevent cancer by fighting free radicals: Beta Carotene: Beta carotene is thought to reduce the risk of cancer, especially lung cancer. Beta
carotene is naturally occurring in red and orange foods such as pumpkin, squash, carrots, and red peppers. Beta
carotene can also be found in dark leafy greens like spinach and kale.Lutein: Lutein can help prevent colon cancer and encourage good eye health. Find lutein in dark green vegetables like collard greens, kale and spinach. Lycopene: Lycopene has been studied for it’s prostate cancer preventing properties. Tomato products are the best sources of lycopene. Studies have shown that processed tomato products like canned tomatoes, soups and juices are higher in lycopene than fresh tomatoes. Vitamin A:Vitamin A, whose most common form is retinol, is a powerful antioxidant with cancer preventing properties that is found in such foods as liver, carrots, milk, egg yolk and sweet potatoes. Vitamin C: Getting enough Vitamin C can help prevent cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus, lung and colon. Vitamin C is found in citrus fruits, berries, broccoli, and even lean poultry, beef and types of fish. Vitamin E: Vitamin E is thought to prevent certain types of cancer such as prostate cancer and can be found in foods like green, leafy vegetables, fortified cereals, wheat germ oil and almonds. Green Tea: Green tea is a powerful source of free-radical fighting antioxidants. Drink green tea in it’s natural form or try a supplement if you can’t stand the taste.It’s a good idea to eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean protein and healthy fat like the omegas found in wild salmon. You can add vitamin supplements to your diet as well. Try a multivitamin that contains a specialized blend of all the vitamins required for total-body health.Before adding nutritional supplements to your diet, talk to your doctor or nutritionist to be sure you take the right dosage and tell them what medications you are taking to avoid possibly dangerous interactions.
American Lung Association Report Shows 2007 Shaping Up to be a Banner Year for Tobacco Control Policies.
Cigarette smoking has been identified as the number one preventable cause of morbidity and premature mortality worldwide. Smoking is responsible for approximately one in five deaths in the United States. From 1997 to 2001, smoking killed an estimated 438,000 people in the United States each year. This includes an estimated 259,494 male and 178,404 female deaths annually. Among adults, the three leading specific causes of smoking attributable deaths were from lung cancer (123,836), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (90,582) and ischemic heart disease (86,801).

These statistics alone ought to be reason enough to warrant strong tobacco control laws such as cigarette tax increases and increased funding for tobacco prevention programs, but every year new studies show that the harmful effects of smoking not only effect the smoker, but also the workers and general public exposed to secondhand smoke.
This website is home to the online version of State Legislated Actions on Tobacco Issues (SLATI), which tracks state tobacco control laws, such as state restrictions on smoking in public places and workplaces and state tobacco taxes, on an ongoing basis. It is the only resource of its kind in tobacco control today providing up-to-date information on tobacco control laws in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. You can learn more about SLATI here.
Below is a list of just some of the reports and information on tobacco control laws and policy found on this site. Please explore the various areas and learn how to get involved in the important fight for strong tobacco control laws and policies. As many of the inspirational people who are living with lung disease will tell you, its a fight we cannot afford to lose.
Improvements in treatment over the years have significantly reduced the severity of side effects of prostate cancer treatments. It is still important to understand how and why these side effects occur, and to how to minimize how they will affect daily life. There are six major categories of side effects that are normally associated with prostate cancer treatments: urinary dysfunction, bowel dysfunction, erectile dysfunction, loss of fertility, effects due to the loss of testosterone, and side effects of chemotherapy. Depending on the treatment strategy pursued some or all of these side effects might be present. Its also important to realize that not all these symptoms are normal, and that some require immediate care.
Urinary Dysfunction encompasses both urinary incontinence, which can range from some leaking to complete loss of bladder control, and irritative voiding symptoms, including increased urinary frequency, increased urinary urgency, and pain upon urination. For men undergoing prostatectomy, incontinence is the main urinary side effect. Bowel Dysfunction includes diarrhea, rectal bleeding, and the inability to control bowel movements. All of these side effects are more common following external beam radiotherapy. During prostatectomy, damage to the rectum is unusually rare, and the bowel changes noticed in the first few weeks following surgery are likely the result of the body adjusting to the increased abdominal space due to the loss of the prostate. Radiation therapy can cause significant damage to the rectum, resulting in some or all of the symptoms listed above.
Erectile Dysfunction is experienced by nearly all men for the first few months after treatment. The reason for this is simple: the nerves and blood vessels that control the physical aspect of an erection are incredibly delicate, and any trauma to the area will unfortunately result in changes to the natural order. Fertility is always a problem after prostate cancer treatment. It is nearly impossible for a man to retain his ability to father children through sexual intercourse after the initial treatment. The loss of semen following surgery makes ejaculation impossible, so the sperm cannot physically leave the body to reach the womans egg for fertilization.
Hormone Therapy side effects: Testosterone is the primary male hormone. Side effects of testosterone loss is lengthy and includes hot flashes, decreased sexual desire, fatigue, erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis, weight gain, decreased muscle mass, anemia, and memory loss. Chemotherapy drugs available today work in a slightly different fashion, and its hard to predict what sorts of side effects any one person will experience. Check with your doctor for reported side effects for your treatment.
PISCATAWAY, N.J.–An active ingredient found in the oil of the Southeast Asian croton plant–12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate, commonly known as TPA–may inhibit the growth of new prostate cancer cells, according to researchers at Rutgers University.
“We demonstrated TPA could simultaneously stop the growth of new prostate cancer cells, kill existing cancer cells and ultimately shrink prostate tumors,” said Allan Conney, Ph.D., one of the study’s authors. The researchers also tested the effect of TPA in combination with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA), a vitamin A derivative that has been shown to effectively treat leukemia.
Mice with induced prostate tumors received a daily dose of TPA, ATRA or a combination of the two for 46 days. After 21 days of treatment, tumor regression became apparent in 62 percent of mice treated with TPA, compared to 31 percent of mice treated with ATRA. All mice receiving the combination treatment showed signs of tumor regression. Researchers also found TPA and the combination treatment continued to inhibit tumor growth for the duration of the study, compared to ATRA inhibiting tumor growth only for the first 28 days of treatment.
“Our studies are an important early step in a long process, and we are planning additional testing in humans,” Conney said. “Further research with these compounds and others could provide hope for the half million new cases of prostate cancer each year.”
The study is published in the March issue of Cancer Research (64, 5:1811-20, 2004) ( cancerres.aacrjournals.org).
