Alternative treatments for prostate cancer
Alternative therapies for prostate cancer are health care practices that are not usually part of
common medical ways of treatments. According to most medical societes, these alternative therapies
should be considered as methods designed to improve the quality of life of a cancer patient and
should be used in conjunction with regular treatment options and should not be expected to cure cancer.
They also cautioned that although some alternative therapies are harmless, they might detract,
delay or interfere with regular therapy which could create negative results.
These Alternative therapies can include natural cures for prostate cancer such as herbs, vitamins, minerals
and dietary supplements or procedures such as acupuncture, massage, homeopathy and
the use of magnetic fields.
Herbs. Alternative prostate cancer treatments by using herbs such as garlic and saw palmetto has been used
by many believers. Saw palmetto or Serenoa repens has found to prevent testosterone from breaking
down in another form of the hormone associated with prostate tissue growth. They have been widely
tested by researchers and the results are promising, so that Saw palmetto has started to gain a
strong following and believer of most prostate cancer patients. Another herbs used with good health results are Chaparral,
Pumpkin, Stinging nettle and Rye grass.

such as green tea, melatonin, lycopene and folic acid,
the immune system enhances its ability to delay the progress of the cancer, if not to cure the
disease.
Acupuncture and massage are primarily recommended as complementary and not as alternative treatments,
as long as they don't interfere patient's health and regular treatment regimen. Because a more relaxed
body and mind can help the cancer patient fight better the disease, these procedures are used to
relieve some of the stress and tension caused by being diagnosed with cancer.
The basic principle of homeopathy is that substances that cause symptoms of illness in healthy
people can be used in small doses to cure similar symptoms among those who are ill. Advocates of
this philosophy have recommended Chimapilla, Causticum, umbellata, Staphysagria, Clematis and Bartya
carb as homeopathic remedies.
Magnetic fields. It has been suggested by some studies that sitting for hours in a magnetic field can inhibit the
growth of prostate tumors. This result is allegedly due to the ability of the north pole-associated
field to slow down the biological growth of a tumor. In this therapy, the magnet's north pole field
is the only one used to treat prostate cancer.
