Alternative and Holistic Prostate Cancer Treatments in Phoenix, AZ

As one of the more common types, prostate cancer is without a doubt one of the most publicly discussed and actively fought (think of all the public efforts to raise awareness) types of cancer today. With 1 out of 8 males in the U.S. diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime, it is imperative to know all the options one has, in case they unwillingly have to join this dispiriting statistic. We use a wide range of alternative prostate cancer treatments working in combination with modified allopathic methods.

It’s safe to say that the diagnosis always arrives as a shock. Here it is crucial to retain a constructive and rational thought process, avoiding slipping into extremes. Once you have the right mind-set, you can start to take pro-active steps at tackling the disease. Naturally, one of the more obvious changes you should take is related to your lifestyle. A proper diet, enhanced by a good exercise routine in essential, particularly in boosting your body’s capacity to resist the disease. If you have cancer, avoid weight loss, which directly weakens the immune system, allowing the cancer to grow. It is also important to pay attention to your surroundings. Seemingly hazard-free objects such as air fresheners, body lotions, fragrances, food packaging and household cleaning products contain harmful compounds, capable of causing serious damage and increasing the risk of developing cancer. Make sure to consume eco-friendly products and avoid contact with items that contain chemicals known as phthaletes (found in shampoos, toys, vinyl flooring, and even raincoats), and Bisphenol-A (BPA). The latter is linked with increased risk of developing prostate cancer and is found in many things we use on a daily basis. Another important step is embracing physical exercise. Whether it’s yoga or a more traditional multi-stage daily exercise program, it’s a great way to provide your body with some additional energy, stress relief, sleep and a more balanced existence. Meditation opens the door for a new realm of self-awareness, allowing you to shift your focus and inner energies towards the ultimate solution.

The homeopathic approach has been gathering increasing popularity. Homeopathic prostate cancer treatment is effective when combined with other treatments. In addition to other homeopathic remedies used, EuroMed Foundation prepares a homeopathic remedy from the patient’s pathology slides, and uses the specific remedy to attack the patient’s cancer.

Working in combination with complimentary cancer treatments, it increases the effectiveness of treatment. Although it’s by no means a way to singlehandedly treat the disease, the homeopathic approach has been effective in decreasing tumor growth and limiting the spread of disease.

Just like any other disease, prostate cancer has plenty of natural enemies. That’s, of course, a clear indicator that you should incorporate them into your diet. In the case of prostate cancer, there’s an abundance of natural extracts, most of which come from products available in most mainstream grocery stores. Cayenne peppers, better known as chili peppers, are a source of the compound known as capsaicin. This substance is not only the secret behind their trademark spiciness but is also a natural predator of prostate cancer cells, known to inhibit their growth. Another easily attainable and popular natural remedy comes in the form of cruciferous vegetables. Brussel sprouts, kale, broccoli and numerous other vegetables in the cruciferous category, contain the phytochemical DIM. This compound is particularly effective, performing a function that inhibits an enzyme, which is directly involved in the growth of cancer cells. All of this while leaving the healthy cells intact. Apart from plenty of other beneficial factors, is why cruciferous vegetables should be a part of everyone’s daily diet. There are plenty of other, seemingly regular, natural products that can aid and mobilize your body to its optimal state. Ginger, pomegranate, resveratrol (found in red grapes and wine), curcumin, green tea, and shiitake mushrooms – all of them share one common characteristic – their powerful anti-cancer properties. Fortunately, none of these products are either rare or exclusive and can be found in their pure, un-processed form in most vegetable markets or nearby organic grocery store. Next to incorporating the above mentioned products in your diet, it’s also important to embrace the variety of therapies that could function as effective stress reducers. Aromatherapies, music therapy, laughter therapy and any kind of meditative process will have a great effect on your spiritual balance, helping to maintain the supportive mind-set throughout your therapy.
