They stress it was just an “association,” but it seems they are strongly, and intimately, tied together.
Gut bacteria can be influenced by what we eat, including cultures from fermented foods and probiotics, along with fibers and other prebiotic substances feeding what is already there. These might help change a dysfunctional gut bacterial status.
It has also been found out that the body can influence what gut bacteria flourish, strangely.
This is a pretty amazing situation to cone across concerning prostate cancer, alone.
men who emigrate from low to high incidence areas have increased risk of prostate cancer in their lifetimes,
One universal common thing among men with prostate problems is the lack of zinc compared to men without problems. The less zinc in the prostate tissues, the worse the problems are.
No surprise gut bacteria is different, zinc helps kill off certain bad bacterias, helps the immune system.
Are you sure “gut” isn’t a typo?
If it’s a strong enough correlation, it could be a diagnostic tool.
So, how does one go about adding more Jonquetella, Moryella, Anaeroglobus, Corynebacterium and CAG-352 to their gut?
My dad had prostrate cancer - but that's not what ended his life.
One big factor in common with most men diagnosed with prostate cancer is a very low level of Vitamin D3. It’s one reason that the further you go north, the more likely one is to get prostate cancer. Mine was 27, the very low end of the normal range, when I was diagnosed. I now make sure I take enough Vitamin D3 to keep my level close to the top end of 100.
I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer with mets to 8 places in my bones almost 8 years ago. Currently have an undetectable PSA; and am doing exceedingly well. I also started taking some other supplements that I believe help keep my cancer under control.
ah, but is it the chicken, or the egg?
The brain and gut are connected…
Hard to know where this starts…
I know four men whose PSA was perfect and whose prostate cancer went undetected because their doctors relied entirely on the PSA and did not physically examine them. Each of them, upon getting a new doctor who did the physical exam, turned out to have sufficiently advanced cancer to require a prostatectomy. One of those still experienced metastates and died. He was my brother. I’m on a mission to make sure as many men as possible don’t let their doctors rely strictly on the PSA to determine prostate health.
Yup.
Amazing effects of slow poisoning, huh?
But they’ll never admit it.
