TOMATO PROSTATE
THE PROSTATE GLAND
Tomato prostate (particularly cooked tomatoes some research suggests) is about preventing prostate cancer and infection, and management of an enlarged prostate .
Searching for something specific? Say, " slipped disk ". Just type it in here...
The prostate gland is usually described as being the size and shape of a walnut . It surrounds the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the exterior. Its function is to produce the white fluid that carries the sperm cells.

Three main problems can occur in the prostate gland: - enlargement, called benign prostatic hyperplasia
- prostate cancer.
- prostate inflammation or infection, called prostatitis

An enlarged prostate gland , bulging into the bladder and blocking the urethra, the tube that carries urine via the penis to the exterior.
PROSTATE CANCER
Prostate cancer is the most common serious cancer in men – more than a quarter of all cancers. Usually it is serious, and because it often metastasises to the bones of the pelvis and spine it can be extremely painful way to the end of a man's life. Surgery often leaves the poor victim impotent, that very emotion laden word that we men avoid thinking about. No one gets prostate trouble, right? Wrong!Instead, shall we focus today on prevention and tomato prostate? If the family ostrich is blithely convinced that HE will never get prostate cancer, the most common CA affecting men, then perhaps you the good wife should be doing the thinking instead. If you don't want an impotent husband, that is! The first sign of prostate cancer is usually problems passing urine — urinating more frequently because of not being able to empty the bladder properly, and difficulty maintaining a full strong stream. But that sign also goes commonly with a benign condition called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. Prostate tissue is particularly vulnerable to free radical damage which is what makes it prone to malignant tumours. This where our tomato comes in. Broccoli too. Research proves that men low in Selenium, a powerful anti-oxidant, are a massive 5x greater chance of getting prostate cancer. Broccoli is particularly rich in Selenium (1.6g/100g). Tomato also has some Selenium (0.6mg).

BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA (enlarged non-malignant prostate)
BPH is a common affliction in older men. The prostate swells, shutting off the tube that carries urine from the bladder. The first sign of trouble is having to get up more frequently at night to urinate, dribbling, "air-locks", and a weak stream.Controversial, but we think that an occasional prostate massage has all the benefits, with none of the horrible side effects of radical prostate surgery. Prostatic massage is not painful, though obviously awkward as it is done rectally. Ask your doctor. Some chiropractors too have been trained to perform this very useful technique. A good time to have it done is at your annual prostate check-up when you have to drop your britches in any case! And more frequently, as needed. Personally, I would choose the indignity of a monthly prostate massage over surgery any day. The actual procedure takes no more than two minutes.
PREVENTION.
To screen for prostate cancer, or not to screen, is the perennial medical question. There is no simple answer, and the debate rages on, for it seems that early detection of prostate cancer may not actually be saving men's lives. What is agreed is that men should learn all they can about early detection and treatment for prostate cancer, so that they can make their own informed decisions. That is basically what the website www.chiropractic-help.com is about anyway. Helping you make informed decisions. And firmly placing the chiropractic emphasis on prevention where it belongs. An ounce of prevention, is worth a pound of cure. We think it wise that after age 45, every man should have - a PSA blood test and
- a rectal examination every year.
Not very pleasant, though far more sensible than being faced with a common, extremely painful disease that leaves men impotent. EVERY YEAR. If your doctor doesn't insist on it, then you should. Your second ounce of prevention is tomato prostate.
The good news is that there's very strong evidence that a delicious tomato eaten every day, actually halves the rate of prostate cancer. Hence the monsoons, as my grandmother used to say, or in this case, this tomato prostate page. It was originally noticed that Italian men had far less prostate cancer than other men. Scientists agree that it is the humble tomato which acts to help fight prostate cancer. Tomato prostate. One bit of bad news. If you've had a vasectomy, you are at slightly higher risk.
"The remedy oft in thyself doth lie."
- William Shakespeare.

Researchers at the University of Illinois found that it comes from both lycopene , the substance that makes tomatoes red, and other unknown substances in the tomato. Says researcher Prof. Erdman: "This study suggests that taking lycopene as a dietary supplement is not as effective in preventing tomato prostate cancer as eating whole tomatoes ... " Other research done at the University of Illinois studied a group of 32 prostate cancer patients who consumed a tomato sauce-based dish daily found that their PSA levels dropped by 17.5% within three weeks.
Lycopene is a carotenoid, that group of substances that make tomatoes red and carrots orange. They are anti-oxidants , a powerful group of substances in coloured foods that improve health by curtailing free radicals. While there is much research showing the value of eating raw food, there is some research now that shows that cooking tomatoes actually triggers the effect of lycopene making tomato prostate even more effective. Other good sources of lycopenes are watermelon and pawpaws. For more about Free Radicals we recommend you go to Antioxidants-4-Life.

IN CONCLUSION
Eat raw tomatoes, eat cooked tomatoes, eat more tomatoes, by whatever means use tomato prostate. Also note that whilst this research has been done on the prostate gland, it make good sense that the cancer resistant properties of tomato probably applies to all cancers, in men and women and not only tomato prostate.If one tomato a day reduces prostate cancer by 50%, perhaps two tomatoes ... there is alas so much that we still know so little about.

PROSTATIS
Chronic infection and inflammation of the prostate gland is a miserable, and currently untreatable condition. Antibiotics don't help. Since it has a very negative impact on a man's sex life (pain during and after ejaculation), it may cut to the very heart of every man's being. Say Johns Hopkins University medical authorities: "Quality of life surveys indicate that the impact of chronic prostatitis on a man’s life is often equivalent to that of a heart attack or diabetes. The discomfort may be so severe that many men have to leave their jobs and go on extended disability leave. On the other hand, the ailment is not life threatening -- it doesn’t kill anybody. Unfortunately, since there are no known cures for prostatitis, the disorder tends to be ignored or minimized by doctors, who may give a man with chronic prostatitis a prescription for an antibiotic just to get him out of the office. Sad to say, that’s how this disease is “managed” by many doctors in this country." The best and only advice with prostatis is prevention. In short, condomise if you (or, you suspect your spouse) have several partners.
FISH REDUCES METASTATIC PROSTATE CANCER deaths by 63%
A 2010 report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition states:
Conclusion: Our analyses provide no strong evidence of a protective association of fish consumption with prostate cancer incidence but showed a significant 63% reduction in prostate cancer–specific mortality.

BPH and exercise Researchers from University of California did a review of the literature from the last fifty odd years, and their conclusion is that moderate exercise doesn't seem to do much for men suffering from prosate conditions, but moderate-to-vigorous exercise reduces BPH by 25%. That's significant. (Eur Urology; 2008)
The prostate gland and incontinence There are 16 million American MEN suffering from incontinence, most of them after medical treatment for prostate cancer or Benign Prostate Hyperplasia. Prevention? Don't just assume it's your neighbour who is going to be suffering.
Add-on effect Remember that these effects all are additive: Eat little, or no fish, do no exercise, avoid tomatoes, have no pleasure in your greens, couldn't be bothered with pumpkin seeds... you're set up to get the nastiest of male afflictions. The only difficult one of all these is the exercise, and that we owe to our hearts, joints, muscles, brains to do anyway.
BEE POLLEN There are numerous studies showing the benefit of pollen on the health of the prostate gland, and in fact some showing dramatic improvement. There are a variety of pollen extracts on the market (talk to your pharmacist), but one other interesting alternative is to keep a beehive. There are few more delights than watching these little creatures get on with their work of bringing you honey for the table, and health for your prostate; and lightly filtered honey (to include the pollen) is a taste without equal.

RED MEAT / GREEN BEAN RECIPE
There is strong research proving that a diet high in red meat, especially overcooked BBQ meat, and processed meats, dramatically increases the rate of prostate cancer. Think rather of more fish and fowl, and legumes like green beans and hummus for your protein. Tomatoes and green beans make a remarkably fine salad dish. Easy, quick, delish, it fits in well with our motto of SLOW FOOD, MADE FAST. The beans are also full of phytosterols.
