Hormone therapy for prostate cancer causes kidney failure: Study

(NaturalNews) Men who undergo conventional hormone therapy treatments for prostate cancer could be setting themselves up for another potential health problem later on in life: renal failure. This was the shocking finding of a recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), which found that androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which suppresses testosterone, may lead to a rapid reduction in kidney function, and thus induce kidney failure.

Researchers from McGill University in Canada came to this conclusion after studying the effects of ADT in more than 10,000 men diagnosed with non-metastatic prostate cancer. Though the treatment can sometimes help induce prostate cancer regression in some men, it may also cause a hypogonadal condition that can eventually develop into acute kidney injury (AKI). In a worst-case scenario, ADT can lead to full renal failure, which can ultimately lead to death.

Among the 10,250 men evaluated as part of the study, 232 cases of first-ever AKI admission were identified during post-treatment followup evaluations. Compared to men who had never received ADT, those who did were found to be up to 250 times more likely to develop AKI, a finding that the study's researchers later quantified as a "significant" association between AKI and ADT. From this, the team deduced that ADT directly affects the likelihood of developing AKI.

"To our knowledge, this is the first population-based study to investigate the association between the use of ADT and the risk of AKI in men with prostate cancer," wrote the authors about their findings. "In this study, the use of ADT was associated with an increased risk of AKI, with variations observed with certain types of ADTs. This association remained continuously elevated, with the highest odds ratio observed in the first year of treatment. Overall, these results remained consistent after conducting several sensitivity analyses."

ADT needs to be administered far more discriminately, say experts

The testosterone-inhibiting effects of ADT can also lead to other serious health problems in men including psychological damage, blood disorders, erectile dysfunction, low energy and fatigue, diabetes, heart disease, bone loss, and even permanent endocrine imbalance. In other words, ADT is not something that cancer doctors should administer lightly, especially when prostate cancer symptoms are ambiguous.

"Our study does raise the concern that perhaps we should be more careful in prescribing androgen deprivation therapy in patients who do not have the clear indication of it," said Laurent Azoulay, one of the study's researchers. "It's all about the balance, finding the right population for which the benefits clearly outweigh the risks."

Importance of Healthy pH in the Body

Importance of Healthy pH in the Body

The scale that is used for measuring the pH, or hydrogen ion concentration … is from 0 to 14, with 7 being the neutral point.  Below 7 is acidic; above 7 is alkaline. The optimal ph of the body's fluids, such as the blood urine, is 7.4, slightly alkaline.  Outside of this range … the body activity is no longer optimal and the metabolism is out of balance.

The pH of the body is largely influenced by metabolic byproducts and our diet. Thus, pH is directly affected by the various categories of food that we eat and the internal mechanisms involved in their processing.  Some foods that are acid in their composition can become alkalinizing following metabolization by the body, such as lemons.  Accordingly, it is to become more aware of the impact that various foods and our eating habits have on the internal environment of the body.

An acidic system mean oxidation which means decay

Excess acidity causes numerous disturbances such as:

• Weakening of the skin, hair, nails,  teeth, bones
• Deterioration of the digestive tract, leaky gut syndrome
• Candida
• Allergies
• Excitability of the nervous system,  sciatica
• Tendency to depressive illness,  anxiety, panic disorders
• Muscular spasms and  cramps
• Enhances susceptibility to infections (bacterial, viral, etc.)
• Chronic fatigue
• Blockage of certain minerals which become unavailable
• Increased risk of cancerous cells  proliferating

Interesting Facts About Life And Alkaline pH
In a free range chicken, the white of the egg has a pH of 9 (highly alkaline). The yoke of the egg has a pH of 6.5 (slightly acidic).

The white of the egg with a pH of 9 … acts as a protective cloak … shielding the yolk from bacteria, viruses, and fungi. While it’s structure, bearing the Hydrogen Matrix, brings forth life and participates in the millions of cells forming the body of the new baby chicken.

Like the egg … when the fluids of the human body are maintained at a healthy alkaline level (7.4) … it protects the body from bacteria, viruses and fungi … as well as bringing forth the life-giving form inherent within the hydrogen matrix. I know that might sound a little "new age" to some of you, but keep in mind that God is a God of order.

The Hydrogen Matrix … The breakdown of the word Hydrogen reveals two words:

Hydro … means Water
Gen … (from Greek means Genês) which means Born
So Hydro-gen means "Born From Water"

Which reflects the embryonic and birthing process of most species. The Hydrogen Matrix (Alkaline pH) … is the bringer and protector of life … it carries the Life-Giving Form.

The body is 75% water … which is H2O. Which means that there are two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Thus, there are twice as many hydro-gen atoms as oxy-gen contained within a water molecule. When we look at the word oxy-gen we have the following:

Oxy/Oxi = Acid = burning/combustion
Gen = Genes = Born
So Oxy-gen = Burning of the new born genes

Accordingly, an acidic pH breaks down the normal functioning of the biological systems … resulting in degenerative conditions within the body and providing a receptive environment for chronic inharmonies (disease).
Factors Influencing Body pH Levels
The following factors will have an influence on the pH Level of the body:

Acidic Foods … such as fast foods, meats, processed grains, some fruits (such as ripe bananas and plums), refined salt, sugar, condiments (pickles, ketchup, etc.), soda pop, and almost all refined, processed foods, etc. have a pH ranging from 2.8 to 5.5 which is highly acidic. These food (even meat in excess) tear down our health.

Alkaline Foods … Almonds, unpasturized honey, bee pollen, maple syrup, figs, dates, natural yogurt, cheese and dairies, earth/root vegetables, green vegetables, apricots, avocados, coconut, grapes, molasses, raisins and lemon … are all alkaline forming foods. These foods restore our health

Emotions … The pH of the body is also greatly influenced by your emotions. Joyous, happy, love-filled emotions tend to create alkaline-forming chemical reactions in the body. Conversely, emotions which are filled with anger, fear, jealousy, hate, etc. ... create acidic-forming chemical reaction in the body. This is done through the master gland of the body the hypothalamus, which is controlled by our thoughts. This master gland (often referred to as the min-body connection) controls the entire endocrine system (producing numerous hormones, neurotransmitters and chemicals) and the parasympathetic nervous system.

In general, all processed foods and fast foods, munchies, pops, etc … are acidic to the body and have a "General Vitality Rating" of between 100 to 250 (which is very low) with a few reaching 400. Compared with fresh organic vegetables which have General Vitality readings in the 2,000 plus range … with a Life Force Rating 150 to 200 points higher than the General Vitality. Commercially grown produces have a General Vitality range from 400 to 1200 … the reading is less for seedless and genetically tampered produce. (Look for organic non-GMO foods to obtain the highest nutritional value.)

The Life Force (measured in units of White Light Potential) for natural untampered fresh organic produce is on average 100 points higher than the General Vitality. For genetically tampered and seedless produce … the Life Force will read lower than the General Vitality by 100 points or so. For processed, canned and other fast foods … the Life Force will be lower than the General Vitality by 70 to 120 points on average.
Balancing Your pH
Accordingly, it is to bring the pH of the "body fluids" into an acceptable range … between 7 and 7.5 ... which will then influence the blood to maintain its optimal 7.4 pH level.  How?  

One of the key factors is the water that we drink. Water accounts for up to 75% of the body and thus the fluidic intake greatly impacts the pH of the body.  Unfortunately, most of the water that is being consumed is acidic ... including distilled water, reverse osmosis, and deionized water ... which have had their minerals or buffers removed.  Alkaline water is not readily or easily available in most communities ... however, by adding minerals to your drinking water, this problem can be remedied. You can open the contents of a couple of coral calcium minerals into a gallon or pitcher of water. You can add coral calcium sachets or add some other source of organic minerals. They are some good liquids that I know are available such as from Maureen Salaman.

Another key factor is through the introduction of unrefined sea salt into the diet. Unrefined sea salt is light gray in color and is moist to the touch. The moisture present in unrefined sea salt assures us that it still contains the numerous elements that buffers the sodium chloride part of the salt and make up as much as 16% by weight in valuable trace elements and macro-minerals. The gray color comes from the clay beds that line the bottom of the salt ponds. This is pure, edible clay, an essential food that enhances the bio-energetic quality of the salt crystals and ionizes them as they form. 

Sea salt contains not only sodium chloride but also 80 plus trace elements and minerals from the ocean plasma that are in perfect symbiosis with each other and the human body matrix. Thus, unrefined sea salt offers a remarkable mineral balance relative to the internal environment of the human body.  All of its elements are naturally dosed in proportions close to those of the internal human environment and form a highly active biological synergy.

Thus, natural sea salt can also help in correcting excess acidity, restoring good digestion, relieving allergies and skin diseases and preventing many forms of cancer. This natural salt provides a steady boost in cellular energy and gives the body a heightened resistance to infections and bacterial diseases.

In addition … the following alkaline forming foods should be introduced into the diet on a regular basis:
Apricots ... Molasses... Cucumbers ... Avocados ... Lemons ... Coconut ... All Melons ... Figs ... Milk Products ... Dates & Raisins ... Natural Yogurt ... Grapes ... Unpasterurized Honey ... Maple Syrup ... Root Vegetables (potatoes, rutabaga, etc) ... Alfalfa and Other Sprouts ... Cayenne ... Lithothamnium (algae), Chlorella,  and among the best alkalizing foods is … ALMONDS (raw and untreated)!!

Note: When consuming almonds … soaking the almonds for 24 hours prior to consumption starts the germination process in the seed and thus activates its Life Force.   Accordingly, the digestive system is able to assimilate more of the elements contained within the almonds.  You may wish to make a daily morning ritual of preparing the almonds by placing them in a small bowl with good quality water.   The next morning they are ready to eat. When the bowl is empty … simply add more almonds and water and allow them to soak until the next morning.   This process can be used to activate the Life Force in all forms of seeds and nuts prior to consumption. Try adding a handful of shelled sunflower seeds with the almonds for daily consumption.

A lot of our processed foods are highly acid including most commercial flours.   Accordingly, it is recommended that one bake their own bread and grind your own flour. For my Ezekiel Bread recipe see http://www.blpublications.com/html/ezekielbread.html
Monitoring Your Body pH
It is a good practice to be aware of the Alkaline/Acid condition of your body. The pH is measured by a urine or saliva test … which is very simple to do and requires less than a minute of your time.

Hydrion pH Testing Strips which are available through most drug stores and some health food stores. These are color coded into a general pH range … and you should look for test strips that will register half-point increments. When using these test strips as your guideline … balance the body pH between 7 and 7.5.   If the test strips read above 7.5 consume acid forming foods or beverages until it stabilizes between 7 and 7.5.   Do not exceed this range for excessive alkalinity can also cause some health problems such as: indigestion, cramps, drowsiness, itching, sore muscles, creaking joints, etc. In my experience I have found this to be extremely uncommon. Most people are too acidic.

The pH scale is from   0 - 14

0 1 2  3  4  5  6  7 healthy  8 9 10 11 12 13 14

Human blood pH should be slightly alkaline (7.4 ). Below or above this range means symptoms and disease. An acidic pH can occur from, an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells will occur.

An acidic balance will:  decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease the energy production in the cells, decrease it's ability to repair damaged cells, decrease it's ability to detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and make it more susceptible to fatigue and illness. A blood pH of 6.9, which is only slightly acidic, can induce coma and death.

The reason acidosis is more common in our society is mostly due to the typical American diet, which is far too high in acid producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and far too low in alkaline producing foods like fresh vegetables. Additionally, we eat acid producing processed foods like white flour and sugar and drink acid producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks.  We use too many drugs, which are acid forming; and we use artificial (man-made) chemical sweeteners like Spenda, NutraSweet, Spoonful, Sweet 'N Low, Equal, (or generically, Aspartame), which are poison and extremely acid forming.  One of the best things we can do to correct an overly acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle.

To maintain health, the diet should consist of 60% alkaline forming foods and 40% acid forming foods. To restore health, the diet should consist of 80% alkaline forming foods and 20% acid forming foods.

Generally, alkaline forming foods include: most fruits, green vegetables, peas, beans, lentils, spices, herbs and seasonings, and seeds and nuts.

Generally, acid forming foods include: meat, fish, poultry, eggs, refined grains, sugar and processed foods.
Shifting Your pH Toward Alkaline...

This chart is for those trying to "adjust" their body pH.  The pH scale is from 0 to 14, with numbers below 7 acidic ( low on oxygen ) and numbers above 7 alkaline. An acidic body is a sickness magnet.  What you eat and drink will impact where your body's pH level falls.  Balance is Key !!!

This chart is intended only as a general guide to alkalizing and acidifying foods.

Although it might seem that citrus fruits would have an acidifying effect on the body, the citric acid they contain actually has an alkalinizing effect in the system.

Note that a food's acid or alkaline forming tendency in the body has nothing to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For example, lemons are very acidic, however the end  products they produce after digestion and assimilation are very alkaline so, lemons are alkaline forming in the body. Likewise, meat will test alkaline before digestion, but it leaves very acidic residue in the body  so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid forming.

Crypto PPARs Resveratrol May Help With Erectile Dysfunction and Male Infertility

Recent research suggests that resveratrol may be able to prevent erectile dysfunction (ED) and low sperm counts. It has also been shown to improve ED drug performance.

How Does It Work?

Resveratrol’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help reduce damage by free radicals to the vascular structures, corpus cavernosum, and muscle tissue in the penis. It also helped improve smooth muscle functioning and increased levels of glutathione, a natural antioxidant in the body that helps maintain cellular health.

One of the ways resveratrol works with ED medication is by increasing the amount of nitric oxide in the body. The body needs adequate amounts of nitric oxide to maintain vascular and peripheral nerve health, including relaxing blood vessel walls so they dilate and allow proper blood flow. Not enough nitric oxide can lead to cardiovascular disease (e.g., high blood pressure) and ED. Drugs such as Viagra® and Levitra® rely on having enough nitric oxide to generate the enzyme that helps control dilation of blood vessels. Some of the ways resveratrol is believed to increase nitric oxide are by activating sirtuin genes and by reducing oxidative stress, which is known to lower nitric oxide levels.

Evidence of Benefit

Cigarette smoking is a risk factor for male infertility and erectile dysfunction. Data published in 2010 showed that resveratrol supplementation significantly prevented oxidative damage to urogenital tissue in lab rats caused by nicotine, compared to untreated rats. It also was demonstrated to significantly increase sperm counts and mobility, as well as raise testosterone levels, without any increase in body weight.

In another recently conducted study, diabetic rats with impaired erectile function were randomly separated and grouped into either an untreated control group or one of three treatment groups:

• Resveratrol
• Vardenafil
• Combination of both

Both the resveratrol and combination-treated groups showed improvement in ED, whereas the drug-only treated group did not. Vardenafil and resveratrol combined demonstrated the best results, suggesting that resveratrol’s reported ability to increase levels of nitric oxide increases the levels of the enzyme necessary to dilate the blood vessels and maintain an erection. Vardenafil’s inhibition of the breakdown of that enzyme helped sustain the vasodilatory effects.

1. Erectile function
2. Orgasmic function
3. Satisfaction with sexual intercourse
4. Overall satisfaction
5. Sexual desire

How PPAR-delta receptor is resulting in the burning of fat

The PPAR-delta receptor activates certain genes in a muscle cell, resulting in the burning of fat. PPAR-delta is one of a family of receptors that is related to the metabolism and storing of fat. Like PPAR-gamma, it also activates certain genes. However, PPAR-delta's activation signals the muscle cell to burn fat for energy. This led to the creation of a PPAR-delta-activated mouse, which can run significantly longer distances than regular mice, and which are more resistant to obesity.

CRYPTOMONADALES - RESVERATROL plus is the perfect health food and natural remedy produced by the sophisticated manufacturing process under the sponsor of scientific and medical groups in the most prestigious medical research institutions in Taiwan: the National Health Research Institute and Institute of Technology and Information Science in Taiwan.


Cryptomonadales - Resveratrol plus contains natural products rich in natural PPAR (peroxisome proliferators activated receptors) agonists and grape skin extract resveratrol, the two most promising health and nutrition molecules in the 21st century. PPARs molecules have been documented to play important roles in metabolic syndrome (obesity, hypercholesterolemia, hypertension and diabetes), anti-inflammation and immune disorders (asthma, eczema, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythromatosis), and cancer (prostate, breast, hepatoma, etc.).


Resveratrol could additionally upregulate the longevity gene SIRT-1, prevent from ageing and prolong the life span for up to 50% in C. elegans, fly and fish. Resveratrol can also upregulate PGC1-a, the co-activator of PPAR-r and act in a synergistic way with PPAR agonists. Therefore, the combination of PPAR agonists and resveratrol in this product Cryptomonadales - resveratrol plus have synergistic effects to promote health, and to treat metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases, immune disorders, ageing and cancers, all of which represent the major diseases in the 21st century.


Cryptomoandales and PPARs will be introduced in detail on their nutritional and medical values mainly from our researches in Taiwan, and followed by the introduction of Resveratrol.

Resveratrol (3,4,5,'-trihydroxystilbene) was first isolated from the roots of white hellebore (Veratrum grandiflorum O.Loes) in 1940, and later in 1963 from the roots of Polygonum cuspidatum, a plant used in traditional medicine. In 1992, resveratrol from red wine skin was found to have cardioprotective effects. Since then, resveratrol become the most actively studied molecules. Series of studies revealed that resveratrol can slow or protect the progression of a wide variety of illness, including cardiovascular diseases, stroke, as well as enhance stress resistance. In 1997, resveratro was shown to have cancer chemopreventive activities.

The most exciting finding for resveratrol is the extension of life span in C. elegans, fly and fishes. The mechanism by which resveratrol exerts such a range of beneficial effect across species and diseases model is interesting and now under active investigation. The life span extension is found to be mediated through the longevity gene SIRT-1, which is upregulated under calorie restriction. It has been known since 1930s that a severe lowering of calorie intake can dramatically slow the rate of ageing in mammals and delays the numerous diseases of ageing, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and neurodegeneration.

The most unexpected and interesting observation for resveratrol is the upregulation of PGC-1a, the co-activator of PPARs. This finding links PPARs and resveratrol to become a good partner for nutrition and medical remedy for preventing or treating many human illness including cardiovascular diseases, stroke, metabolic syndrome, inflammatory and immune disorders, ageing, and cancers. The potential effects of longevity is of course the most attractive effects of the combined products.


RESVERATROL AND CANCER 
In 1997, Jang and collegues published a seminar paper reporting the ability of resveratrol to inhibit skin carcinogenesis at multiple stages. Since then, systemic administration of resveratrol has been shown to inhibit the initiation of growth of tumors in a wide variety of rodent cancer models. The fficacy of low doses (200 ug per kg body weight daily in a rat model of colon carcinogenesis suggests that even the concentration of resveratrol obtained from dietary sources, such as red wine, could be therapeutic in some cases. At higher, but pharmacologically achievable doses, the protective effects of resveratrol are even more dramatic in many cancer models. Resveratrol can inhibit cyclooxgygenase to reduce the risk of developing many cancers. Resveratrol can also inhibit tumor-induced neovascularization at a dose of 2.5-100 mg per kg of body weight. Another mechanism for resveratrol to inhibit tumor formation is to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis possibly through the induction of caspase 3.


RESVERATROL AND HEART DISEASE, MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION AND STROKE
The effects of resveratrol on heart disease has been observed on the low frequency of cardiovascular disease in French who enjoy drinking red wine, despite a diet rich in saturated fat. Wine and grape extracts have been shown to decrease platelet aggregation, prolong vasorelaxation, suppress arteriosclerosis, reduce lipid peroxidation, and improve serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations. Resveratrol has been shown to be effective at protecting isolated rat heart against ischemic/resperfusion injury, probably due to its anti-oxidant effect. This effect is important for preserving the heart in myocardial infarction and stroke.
