Written by Taylor Woosley, Staff Writer. Post-analysis of serum myokine levels shows that there was a significant elevation of SPARC (P=0.048), OSM (P=0.001), IL-6 (P=0.02), and IL-15 (P=0.023) in serum collected immediately after exercise compared to serum collected at baseline. (more…)
Written by Angeline A. De Leon, Staff Writer. The apoptosis-inducing properties of MSM, together with its ability to diminish cell invasiveness and migration, suggest that MSM may be an effective, natural means of controlling the proliferation of cancer cells in prostate cancer. (more…)

Written by Angeline A. De Leon, Staff Writer. Fucoidan, a marine plant extract, displayed significant anti- angiogenic and anti-tumor effects on human prostate cancer cells in vitro and in a mouse xenograft model, and clarified a possible role of the JAK-STAT3 pathway. (more…)
Written by Greg Arnold, DC, CSCS. In research with 40 male prostate cancer patients undergoing radiation, 25% had a reduction in cystitis – a common side effect. (more…)
Written by Greg Arnold, DC, CSCS. A 4 week diet of fish oil decreased inflammation and lowered risk of cancer reoccurrence, as evidenced in men that had a malignant prostate removal surgery. (more…)
Written by Greg Arnold, DC, CSCS. Qigong (a practice of slow, flowing movements with deep breathing and meditation) decreased fatigue by 14.7%, decreased depression by 11.3%, and decreased anxiety by 15.9% compared to no change in group that solely did stretching. (more…)
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Staff Writer. This study has determined that sleep disorders and sleep disruption resulted in a higher risk of prostate cancer. (more…)
Written by Greg Arnold, DC, CSCS. Treatment with vitamin D was associated with an improvement in a marker for prostate cancer in 55% of a test group. (more…)
Written by Greg Arnold, DC, CSCS. For the researchers, “These findings further support the potential use of tocotrienols as prostate cancer chemopreventive agents in humans.” (more…)
Written by Chrystal Moulton, Staff Writer. Nine out of 12 reviewed studies found the optimal plasma serum selenium that significantly lowers prostate cancer risk to be 60 – 170 ng/ml while a toenail selenium range of 0.85 – 0.94ng/g decreases prostate cancer risk by 30%. (more…)
Written by Marcia J. Egles, MD. Of the 48 overweight or obese patients with prostate cancer, those who went on a 4-6 week low-fat, high Omega-3 fish oil supplement diet had a significant 32.2 % reduction in a marker for cancer growth compared to the Western diet group. (more…)
Written by Marcia J. Egles, MD. Those with the highest Vitamin K-2 intakes had a 12% reduced risk of advanced prostate cancer compared to those with the lowest intakes. (more…)
Written by Susan Sweeny Johnson, PhD, Biochem. When vitamin E and selenium were used in combination against prostate cancer cell lines, cell viability was decreased by 40-70% and cancer cell growth was significantly decreased (30%) while normal prostate cells were not affected. (more…)
Written by Marcia Egles, MD. Studies suggest that increasing omega-3 PUFA’s (polyunsaturated fatty acids) in the diet might help reduce the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. Both omega-6 and omega-3 PUFA’s are not produced in the body and must be obtained from ones diet. (more…)
Written by Susan Sweeny Johnson, PhD, Biochem. After 19 years of followup, researchers assessed the incidence and type of prostate cancers of 29,133 Finnish male smokers and found that those with higher blood concentrations of alpha- tocopherol had a strongly reduced incidence of advanced cancers by almost 45%.
