(NaturalNews) The drug industry is pushing a new "treatment" for prostate cancer, which they claim is the first drug that's ever been proven to reduce the risk of the disease. The drug, called finasteride, costs over $1,000 per year, and it should be used by lots of men to chemically "prevent" prostate cancer, says the American Society of Clinical Oncology and the American Urological Association.
As usual, the benefits of the drug are being wildly hyped by its promoters. In reality, a statistical analysis of the study reveals that you would have to treat 71 men with the drug for seven years just to prevent a single case of prostate cancer. That means society would have to spend about half a million dollars while exposing 71 men to this non-natural chemical in order to prevent just one case of the disease! This startling fact is admitted by the very author of the study. (Barnett Kramer of the National Institutes of Health).
Meanwhile, the drug -- sold under brand names Proscar and Propecia -- has side effects that include low libido, breast tenderness (in men!) and impotence. And those are only the side effects they know about so far.
What the drug industry refuses to mention, of course, are all the natural remedies that can either prevent or even help reverse prostate cancer. Among those natural remedies, pomegranate is one of the best-known nutritional remedies for prostate cancer. Pomegranate seeds, it turns out, contain a wealth of anti-cancer nutrients that haven't even begun to be truly understood by western medical scientists.
When it comes to prostate cancer, the best medicine in the world comes straight from Mother Nature.
Investigators are also excited about the possibility that pomegranate compounds might prevent prostate cancer or slow its growth. Other preliminary research suggests that pomegranate juice might help protect against skin and breast cancer. Even arthritis may yield to the power of pomegranates. Scientists at Case Western Reserve University have reported that tissue cultures of human cartilage cells respond to pomegranate extract. Inflammation is reduced and the enzymes that break down cartilage become less active.

In addition to being good for your heart and blood vessels, pomegranates have been shown to inhibit breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer, and leukemia and to prevent vascular changes that promote tumor growth in lab animals. Pomegranates' potent antioxidant compounds also have been shown to reduce platelet aggregation and naturally lower blood pressure, factors that prevent both heart attacks and strokes.

Journal Nutritional Biochemistry 16: 360-67, 2005] Numerous reports extol pomegranate for prostate, colon and skin cancer. Its one drawback is that ellagic acid, a primary antioxidant in pomegranate, is poorly absorbed. However, it still has potency against colon cancer. [Clinical Chim Acta 348: 63-68, 2004] Ellagic acid, found in pomegranate and red raspberries, inhibits an enzyme, topoisomerase, that breaks DNA strands that can produce cancer. Ellagic acid mimics the cancer drug etoposide (Etopophos, vepesid).

Studies have shown the anti-cancer activity on cancer cells of the breast, esophagus, skin, colon, prostate and pancreas. It can bind with cancer causing molecules, making them inactive and is chemoprotective against various chemically induced cancers. Ellagic acid helps eliminate excess nickel from the body. Plants produce ellagic acid to protect themselves from microbiological infection and pests. It's present in many red fruits and berries, including raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, cranberries, apples and pomegranate and some nuts including pecans and walnuts.

Antioxidants have been proven protective against many cancers, including lung, colon, breast, prostate, and ovarian cancer. In general, the more colorful the food you eat, the higher its antioxidant content will be. Cooking and microwaving lower the amount of antioxidants in your foods, so fresh is always best. Berries, pomegranates, sunflower seeds, and walnuts are foods with some of the highest antioxidant content. All citrus fruits, including oranges, pineapples, kiwi fruits, prunes, and dates, are also very good sources.

About the author:Mike Adams (aka the "Health Ranger") is a best selling author (#1 best selling science book on Amazon.com) and a globally recognized scientific researcher in clean foods. He serves as the founding editor of NaturalNews.com and the lab science director of an internationally accredited (ISO 17025) analytical laboratory known as CWC Labs. There, he was awarded a Certificate of Excellence for achieving extremely high accuracy in the analysis of toxic elements in unknown water samples using ICP-MS instrumentation. Adams is also highly proficient in running liquid chromatography, ion chromatography and mass spectrometry time-of-flight analytical instrumentation.
Adams is a person of color whose ancestors include Africans and Native American Indians. He's also of Native American heritage, which he credits as inspiring his "Health Ranger" passion for protecting life and nature against the destruction caused by chemicals, heavy metals and other forms of pollution.
Adams is the founder and publisher of the open source science journal Natural Science Journal, the author of numerous peer-reviewed science papers published by the journal, and the author of the world's first book that published ICP-MS heavy metals analysis results for foods, dietary supplements, pet food, spices and fast food. The book is entitled Food Forensics and is published by BenBella Books.
In his laboratory research, Adams has made numerous food safety breakthroughs such as revealing rice protein products imported from Asia to be contaminated with toxic heavy metals like lead, cadmium and tungsten. Adams was the first food science researcher to document high levels of tungsten in superfoods. He also discovered over 11 ppm lead in imported mangosteen powder, and led an industry-wide voluntary agreement to limit heavy metals in rice protein products.
In addition to his lab work, Adams is also the (non-paid) executive director of the non-profit Consumer Wellness Center (CWC), an organization that redirects 100% of its donations receipts to grant programs that teach children and women how to grow their own food or vastly improve their nutrition.

With a background in science and software technology, Adams is the original founder of the email newsletter technology company known as Arial Software. Using his technical experience combined with his love for natural health, Adams developed and deployed the content management system currently driving NaturalNews.com. He also engineered the high-level statistical algorithms that power SCIENCE.naturalnews.com, a massive research resource featuring over 10 million scientific studies.
Adams is well known for his incredibly popular consumer activism video blowing the lid on fake blueberries used throughout the food supply. He has also exposed "strange fibers" found in Chicken McNuggets, fake academic credentials of so-called health "gurus," dangerous "detox" products imported as battery acid and sold for oral consumption, fake acai berry scams, the California raw milk raids, the vaccine research fraud revealed by industry whistleblowers and many other topics.
Adams has also helped defend the rights of home gardeners and protect the medical freedom rights of parents. Adams is widely recognized to have made a remarkable global impact on issues like GMOs, vaccines, nutrition therapies, human consciousness.
In addition to his activism, Adams is an accomplished musician who has released over a dozen popular songs covering a variety of activism topics.
