Prostate cancer remission could be found in exercise and a healthy diet
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
In a new study of 93 prostate cancer patients, those who changed diet and exercise patterns experienced a 4 percent drop in prostate-specific antigen levels, indicating a decrease in cancer growth.
Men diagnosed with early-stage prostate cancer may be able to stop the disease with some drastic lifestyle changes.
That finding comes from a new study of 93 prostate cancer patients.
Some of the men were randomly assigned to a group that adopted a vegan diet, regular exercise and stress management through yoga.
After a year, those who made the lifestyle changes experienced an average 4 percent drop in their PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels, an indicator of cancer growth.
But among those who didn't make the changes, PSA levels rose an average of 6 percent.
Early-stage prostate cancer is diagnosed in more than 230,000 Americans each year.
The study appears in the September issue of the Journal of Urology, and an abstract is available online at www.jurology.com.
