Cancer of the prostate is the leading cause of cancer death among non-smoking American men and African-American men are 2 ½ times more likely to get the disease than any other ethnic group in the world. It is still unknown exactly why African-American men have the highest incidence of prostate cancer in the world. Research has shown, though, that they typically develop the disease earlier than white Americans, but are diagnosed with it later, so their mortality rate is much higher than that of whites. One of every eight African-American men will develop the disease in his lifetime. It is primarily a disease of aging. Men in their thirties and forties rarely develop prostate cancer, but the incidence increases steadily after the age of fifty-five. Approximately 80 percent of all cases occur in men over the age of sixty-five and by the age of eighty, 80 percent of all men have prostate cancer to some degree. The American Cancer Society estimates that more than 381,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed in 1998 and over 41,000 men will die of the disease. A male baby born today has a 13 percent change of developing prostate cancer at some time in his life, and a 3 percent change of dying from the disease. Many experts feel that every man will eventually develop prostate cancer if he lives long enough. The three most common prostate problems are: infection (prostatitis), prostate enlargement (benign prostatic hupertrophy), and prostate cancer.

Vitamin C plays an integral role in the human body in many ezymatic functions as well as being vital for the proper growth and development of teeth, bones, gums, blood vessels and even ligaments. In fact, Vitamin C is a component in all of the organs in the human body. In addition, the nuerotransmitters in the body as well as adrenal hormones are dependent on Vitamin C for their processes. Without Vitamin C, the human body would not be able to absorb two other important supplements, iron and folic acid.

Even though it is so important to proper functioning of the human organism, Vitamin C deficiency does occur with mild deficiency causes random aches, pains, weakness and occasionally sore gums or nose bleeds. When deficiency becomes sever, symptoms result in scurvy which includes red and swollen gums, excessive bruising and even internal bleeding. An individual with scurvy may have bones that easily break, skin that tears open and abnormal bone or tooth development. Because of it’s relation to iron, Vitamin C deficiency also often lead to anemia which can include paleness, shortness of breath, weakness and even heart palpitations

Vitamin C benefits include:
- Prevent heart disease and some forms of cancer

- Improve immune function

- Maintain healthy skin and blood vessels

- Accelerate healing

- Reduce allergic reactions

Vitamin A: Beta-Carotene
Beta-carotene is a substance from plants that the body converts into vitamin A. It acts as an antioxidant and an immune system booster. The body can store beta-carotene much better than it can store vitamin A. Beta-carotene does not have the risk of toxicity in large amounts that vitamin A does.

Vitamin C,
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that is required for tissue growth and repair, adrenal gland function, and healthy gums. It also aids in the production of anti-stress hormones and interferon. It also protects against the harmful effects of pollution, helps to prevent cancer, protects against infection and enhances immunity.

Vitamin E,
Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that is important in the prevention of cancer and cardiovascular disease. It improves circulation, is necessary for tissue repair. It promotes normal blood clotting and healing, reduces scarring from some wounds, reduces blood pressure and aid in preventing cataracts. It also is key in promoting healthy muscles and nerves as well as healthy skin and hair.

Vitamin D, Vitamin
Vitamin D, a fat-soluble vitamin, is required for the absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus by the intestinal tract. It is necessary for growth and is especially important for the normal growth and development of bones and teeth in children. It protects against muscle weakness and is involved in regulation of the heartbeat

B1, Vitamin
Vitamin B1 (thiamine) has positive effects on the nervous system, mental well being, skin, eyes, and hair.

B2, Vitamin
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) nourishes skin, nails, hair, growth, reproduction and vision. The body needs more of this nutrient during stress situations.

B3, Vitamin
Niacin
Niacin, vitamin B3, is required for a broad range of body functions, including the release of energy from foods, The maintenance of the body’s hormone controls systems, tissue repair and nervous system function. Nicotinic acid supplements have been used to reduce blood cholesterol levels and protect against recurrent heart attacks. Niacinamide is a related chemical but is not effective for circulatory problems or elevated cholesterol

B6, Vitamin
Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine HCL) is necessary to metabolize B12 in the body. It helps the body release excess water and nourishes the nervous system.

B12, Vitamin
Vitamin B12 is used in the production of energy and it nourishes the nervous system. Vitamin B12 supports the maturation of red blood cells.

Pantothenic Acid
Pantothenic acid is used throughout the body. It is required for glandular balance and production of hormones and enzymes. Thus, it affects energy levels, growth and tissue repair and our ability to deal well with all types of stress. Deficiency can cause chronic fatigue, hair loss and graying, muscular weakness, digestive disorders, constipation, depression and many other debilitating symptoms. Deficiency can also be a factor in allergies and asthma.

Calcium
Calcium is necessary for healthy bones and teeth, for clotting of the blood for the functioning of nerve tissue and muscles (including the heart), for enzymatic processes, and for controlling the movement of fluids through cell walls. It also acts to balance the amounts of other minerals and promotes better use of iron by the body. Current research suggests calcium reduces the incidence of colon cancer, and reduces blood cholesterol levels. Deficiency symptoms may result in arm & leg muscle spasms, softening of bones, back and leg cramps, brittle bones, rickets, poor growth, osteoporosis, tooth decay and depression.

Magnesium
Magnesium essential as an enzyme activator and is involved in the formation and maintenance of body protein. Magnesium plays an important role in regulating the neuromuscular activity of the heart by maintaining normal heart rhythm. Magnesium is also necessary for proper calcium & Vitamin C metabolism by converting blood sugar into energy. A deficiency of magnesium may result in calcium depletion, heart spasms, nervousness, muscular excitability, mental confusion, and/or the formation of kidney stones.

Zinc
Zinc is required for tissue growth, repair and maintenance. Wounds heal better when there is enough zinc. Zinc often speeds healing of gastric ulcers. It is part of the insulin molecule (which regulates blood sugar levels) and over 25 other digestive and metabolic enzymes. Zinc is used and eliminated rapidly within days of a serious injury or burn. A loss of smell or taste may represent a zinc deficiency. Men often take supplemental zinc for prostate health; too little can lead to prostate enlargement.

Manganese
Manganese is an antioxidant nutrient which is important in the blood breakdown of amino acids and the production of energy. Manganese is necessary for the metabolism of Vitamin B-1 & Vitamin E. This mineral activates various enzymes which are important for proper digestion and utilization of foods. Manganese is also a catalyst in the breakdown of fats & cholesterol, helps nourish the nerves & brain, is necessary for normal skeletal development, and maintains sex hormone production. A deficiency of manganese may result in paralysis, convulsions, dizziness, ataxia, loss of hearing, digestive problems, and blindness & deafness in infants.

Potassium
Potassium is a critical component of all cells. Excess use of salt and inadequate consumption of potassium foods can contribute a sodium/potassium imbalance. The result can be any of hundreds of uncomfortable symptoms that reflect hard/dry tissues. These can include: high blood pressure, dry skin, hardened tissues, excessive thirst, nervousness, irregular heart beat and poor reflexes.

PABA
PABA (para-aminobenzoic acid) helps assimilate pantothenic acid and nourishes the skin.

Inositol
Inositol nourishes the brain and helps balance cholesterol levels. It also helps the body break down fats effectively

Historical use of herbs:

Garlic Historical usage:

Garlic is one of the oldest known medicinal plants, and it's been credited with fighting heart disease, lowering blood pressure and helping to fight off colds.

Numerous trials have looked at the role of garlic supplements in heart disease. Many of these randomized studies showed positive benefits of garlic in heart disease: lowering total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol (the Bad cholesterol) and triglycerides A few small randomized trials also suggested the benefits of garlic in the prevention of platelet aggregation and thrombosis (the formation of plaques in the blood).  Another study also showed that aged garlic extracts lowered blood pressure.

Hawthorne Berries Historical use: Hawthorne berry today is most associated with its widespread use as a tonic for the heart. Specifically, it protects arterial walls, has the ability to dilate (enlarge) coronary blood vessels (the vessels supplying the heart with vital oxygen, blood, and nutrients), and strengthen the heart's pumping ability. Because of these powerful cardiac benefits, it is now one of the most prescribed heart remedies in Europe.

Those people who suffer from angina, therefore, would most likely benefit by hawthorne berry's ability to increase blood flow through the arteries. Additionally, for the same reason, those afflicted with hypertension (high blood pressure) may alleviate their condition since narrowed arteries require the heart to work more strenuously in getting blood through them.

People who suffer from tachycardia (rapid heart beating) and cardiac arrhythmia (irregular heart beating) may also find relief. It also has antioxidant properities which may help offset arterial damage from plaque formation and accumulation.

In short, hawthorne berry is seen by some as an all-purpose heart medicine.

Astragalus Historical usage:

Astragalus is a native plant to areas of Northern China and Mongolia and has over 2,000 varieties. Traditional Chinese medicine has used this herb because it possesses the ability to enhance the immune system and stimulate forces of chi (life forces), which might include energy and peace.

Cayenne Historical usage: Capsicum Cayenne Pepper

is the single most beneficial herb in the entire herbal kingdom. Many herbalists have said that if they could have only one herb to work with, they would choose Capsicum. We do marvelous things with it that we are not able to do with any other known herb. Please understand that the key to success in healing the body is stimulation, and Capsicum is the great stimulant.

Capsicum (red pepper) is the most pronounced, natural and ideal stimulant known in the entire materia medica. It cannot be equaled by any known agent when a powerful and prolonged stimulant is needed for congestive chills, heart failure, bleeding and other conditions calling for quick action.

The entire circulation is affected by this agent and there is no reaction. In this it stands alone as the ideal...Capsicum increases the power of all other agents, helps the digestion when taken with meals, and arouses all the secreting organs. Whenever a stimulant is indicated, Capsicum may be given with the utmost safety...It is the only natural stimulant worth considering for diarrhea, dysentery with bloody mucus, stools, and offensive breath.

Cayenne is a medicinal and nutritional herb. It is the purest and most certain stimulant...The herb is a great food for the circulatory system in that it feeds the necessary elements into the cell structure of the arteries, veins, and capillaries so that these regain the elasticity of youth again, and the blood pressure adjusts itself to normal. It rebuilds the tissue in the stomach and heals stomach and intestinal ulcers, in equalizing the blood circulation, cayenne produces natural warmth, and in stimulating the peristaltic motion of the intestines it aids in assimilation and elimination....When the venous structure becomes loaded with sticky mucus, the blood has a harder time circulating, therefore, higher pressure forces the liquid through.

"Cayenne regulates the flow of blood from the head to the feet so that it is equalized, it influences the heart immediately then gradually extends its effects to the arteries, capillaries, and nerves - the frequency of the pulse is not increased, but is given more power," Dr. John R. Christopher.

The cardiovascular benefits of Cayenne include:

Capsicum reduces Blood Pressure - Dilates blood vessels allowing increased blood circulation.

Capsicum Fights Fatigue - Increased circulation results in immediate lowering of the blood pressure and results in increased distribution of oxygen and nutrients to the cells of the body.

Capsicum Reduces Risk of Blood Clot - Thins the blood by decreasing blood levels of fibrin, reducing the risk of a heart attack or stroke.

Capsicum Lowers Cholesterol - By binding cholesterol and bile acids in the intestinal tract, the body is able to excrete more cholesterol.

ZINC

Clinical studies have proven zinc's usefulness in treating prostate diseases. Melvyn Werbach, M.D., author of Nutritional Influences on Illness, says the prostate gland contains a higher concentration of zinc than any other organ in the body. For this reason, a deficiency in zinc is a helpful predictor in the diagnosis of prostate disease. In a study published in the Journal of Steroid Biochemistry in 1984, researchers found that zinc helps reduce the size of an enlarged prostate and relieve symptoms of BPH by inhibiting the activity of a key enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase .This is the enzyme that converts testosterone to the dangerously potent dihydrotestosterone (DHT) which, which has been shown to cause the excessive overgrowth of the prostate tissue.

Lycopene

Antioxidants are chemicals that attack roaming oxygen molecules (free radicals), which are suspected of triggering cancer. All antioxidants are helpful to your body; in particular lycopene has been shown to be beneficial for prostate health and a powerful defense against prostate cancer.

A 6-year study done at Harvard University involving 50,000 men revealed that those who ate foods high in lycopene were up to 45% less likely to develop prostate cancer. In another double-blind study, patients treated with lycopene had smaller prostates than an untreated control group. And some cancer patients who received lycopene showed signs of regression and decreased malignancy. In these tests, lycopene slowed the spread and growth of the cancer.

Saw palmetto, (Serenoa repens and serrulata) has been shown to effectively diminish pain, inflammation and enlargement of the prostate. It may work by inhibiting dihydrotestosterone, thereby reducing its stimulation for cell multiplication. Saw palmetto has been used for centuries and is also thought to have a mild aphrodisiac effect, as well as increasing sperm production and sexual vitality.

Pygeum africanum, an herb from an African evergreen tree, has been shown in research to reduce prostatic enlargement and inflammation; it may also help stimulate libido. Pygeum has many natural chemicals that have anti-inflammatory and other positive effects on energy and bodily functions.

Vitamin E

All natural vitamin E is a powerful ally in your fight against prostate disease. Now there's evidence that it may help fight prostate cancer. A University of Helsinki study in Finland gave 29,133 men, ages 50 to 69, vitamin E, beta-carotene, both supplements together, or a placebo. The treatments continued for up to eight years. Compared with the placebo group, the men taking vitamin E were 36% less likely to develop prostate cancer. The results of the study also suggested that vitamin E may help prevent prostate cancer from moving from the latent to the progressive stages.

Ginseng:

In terms of modern scientific research, ginseng is known to be an adaptogen. Adaptogens are substances that assist the body to restore itself to health and work without side effects even if the recommended dose is widely exceeded. Ginseng due to its adaptogens effects is widely used to lower cholesterol, increase energy and endurance, reduce fatigue and effects of stress and prevent infections.

Ginseng appears to help people with diabetes. A limited study performed in March 2000 at the University of Toronto showed that ginseng could lower blood sugar 20% more than placebo.

Ginseng is one of the most effective anti-aging supplements. It can alleviate some major effects of aging, such as degeneration of the blood system, and increase mental and physical capacity.
