Natural Prostate Cancer Treatments

- If you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer, you might be wondering about non-medical treatments to attack this disease. Though many controversial natural cures exist, we’ll look at some of the more common below.

Acupuncture – This ancient Chinese practice has taken off in the western world, and many people believe that it can help cure prostate cancer as well as take away any of the symptoms (such as trouble urinating, pain/burning sensation in the prostate gland, or erectile dysfunction.) During acupuncture, “pressure points” are targeted by an acupuncture specialist using needles that are inserted into the top layer of the patient’s skin. The process is relatively painless (though some have reported discomfort) and is increasing in popularity as many eschew the medical practices of surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy to attack prostate cancer.

Diet Regimens – There are many holistic healers that tout various foods as having cancer attacking properties. Some of these include tomatoes, fish, berries, tea, and even water! Not surprisingly, there are multitudes of books devoted to the subject of how to cure cancer (including prostate cancer) via the diet. If you have been diagnosed with cancer and are looking for an alternative remedy, be cautious before picking just any diet regimen. Try to find one with some supporting evidence, or ask other prostate cancer patients and survivors if they’ve tried the methods. That way, you won’t be gambling with your health.

Vitamins – Again, there are tons of proponents who say that taking certain vitamins can actually cure cancer. These vitamins can be found in both pill and food forms and, like diet regimens, the exact “recipe” changes depending upon whom you ask. If you want to try a vitamin treatment for your prostate cancer, it will behoove you to do a great deal of research on the topic before determining which is right for you.

Finally, always remember that your medical physician may actually be able to help you with some information on natural methods to heal your prostate cancer. It’s a fallacy that all doctors are “against” homeopathic remedies; in actuality, many have recommended them for their patients.

I hope that you found this information on natural treatments for prostate cancer cures.
