The importance of finding the root causes of prostate cancer in each case

September is Prostate Cancer awareness month, to raise awareness of the form of cancer which is the most common in men.

Prostate cancer makes up approximately 27% of all cancers diagnosed in males (Cancer Australia, 2024), and contributing to 13% of deaths in males with cancer. One in 7 men in Australia are diagnosed with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Australia, being even higher than more well known and marketed cancers of the skin or breast.

While various cancer organisations keep begging for your money for “research” into finding a “cure” for prostate cancer, wouldn’t it be better to find the causes of prostate cancer and actually prevent it?

Well, the causes of prostate cancer are well known! But the causes, or combination of them, can be different in each man. There isn’t just one cause of prostate cancer. Sadly the medical treatments of prostate removal, chemotherapy or radiation therapy do not address the root causes of the cancer.

Similar to cancers of female organs, the male cancers like prostate cancer are also in part related to a hormone imbalance. That being issues of imbalance in the male sex hormones of testosterone and others. This isn’t the only cause or contributing factor to prostate cancer though, but it is a major one. But I’ve yet to see a GP or oncologist or urologist (prostate specialist doctor) do thorough blood tests into the male hormones or to find what might cause or explain the male hormone imbalance. But this is what I do in part for the men I see with prostate issues, including enlarged prostate. Enlarged prostate can be a risk factor for the development of prostate cancer, but getting regular or earlier blood tests can find problems before they become prostate cancer.

Just because prostate cancer appears to run in families with grandfathers, fathers, uncles and brothers getting prostate cancer in the same family, it doesn’t mean that it is genetic at all. The vast majority of cancers are only 5-10% related to genetics or being inherited. This means that 90-95% of cancers are ENVIRONMENTAL, which also means that they are related to your CHOICES – of foods, products and their chemicals, lifestyle factors, and more. This also means that 90-95% of cancers can actually be prevented!

If you have a history of enlarged prostate, or a family history of prostate cancer, or even neither of these issues as a man, but want to treat or prevent this, I can help! I focus on finding all the root causes of the prostate issues and all other symptoms and conditions too, and then treat and fix the root causes. This gives much better results of reduction of symptoms, long-term resolution and even prevention.
