Regarding prostate cancer, as far as I know, prostate cancer cells start appearing around the age of 25. However, as long as the immune system is capable, it can find and kill the prostate cancer cells. Once the immune system weakens enough as we age, cancer can take hold.

The prostate gland is made from the same tissue embryonically as a woman’s uterus. Factors that affect uterine cancer would be expected to also affect prostate cancer.

One nutritional factor that affects prostate cancer is the presence of adequate iodine in the body. The risk of reproductive system cancer in mainland Japan, for example, is much much lower than the risk of such cancer in the U.S. Iodine is the dietary difference. Look up David Brownstein MD’s book “Iodine – Why You Need It” for more information. Iodine can decrease proliferative estrogens – the ones that can stimulate cancer. Iodine also can cause apoptosis (death) of prostate cancer cells.

You’re right, it’s a dead link, so sorry about that–it used to work fine, but somehow broke.

Incidentally, I’ve had Dr. Brownstein’s iodine book, but I have so many books, that it sat under a pile, so your mentioning him, caused to recall I have it.

Iodine seems to be a substance with many faces (positive faces that is). More and more, you discover ways it helps keeping us humans healthy.
