Botanical Formula Fights Prostate Cancer Without Toxic Side Effects
Written by Dr. Isaac Eliaz
A non-toxic botanical formula controls aggressive human prostate tumors in mice, according to a peer-reviewed study in The International journal of Oncology. Researchers at Indiana University, Methodist Research Institute, revealed that this formula significantly suppresses tumor growth in aggressive, hormone-refractory (androgen-independent) human prostate cancer cells. This study is a milestone in the research of this formula, demonstrating its safety and effectiveness in treating human prostate cancer in an animal model.
These positive results offer a significant contribution to prostate cancer research and add to the growing body of published data substantiating the role of natural compounds in the treatment of prostate cancer. The formula combines botanical extracts, phytonutrients, botanically-enhanced medicinal mushrooms, and antioxidants. This is the third study from a major university to demonstrate the formula’s ability to suppress tumor growth and metastasis.
Multiple studies have demonstrated that this prostate formula is a possible treatment for hormone-refractory prostate cancer. This current study found that the orally-administered formula suppressed tumor growth by 27 percent, compared to controls. Even more important, in addition to significant reduction in tumor volume, the formula inhibited several genes (IGF2, NRNF2 and PLAU/uPA) that encourage cancer proliferation and metastasis. The formula also increased expression of CDKN1A, a gene that fights prostate cancer by inhibiting cancer-promoting cellular mechanisms.
By suppressing genes related to aggressive prostate cancer growth and proliferation, and increasing the expression of cancer-fighting genes, the formula demonstrates multiple anti-cancer mechanisms and genetic targets.
This pre-clinical in vivo study confirms previously published in vitro data, which showed the formula decreases the expression of PLAU/uPA genes in aggressive, hormone-independent prostate cancer cells.
Prior to this research, the formula was studied at Columbia University and the Cancer Research Laboratory, Methodist Research Institute, at Indiana University Health. These studies also showed the formula inhibits prostate cancer growth and proliferation. For more information about this natural prostate formula, visit www.prostatehealthsolutions.org.

Why Barometric Pressure Triggers Headaches - Causes, Symptoms & Prevention Tips
Many people notice that their headaches or migraines worsen when the weather changes. One of the most common culprits is barometric pressure, also known as atmospheric pressure. This pressure refers to the weight of the air around us, and even small shifts can affect sensitive individuals, often leading to headaches, sinus pressure, or migraines. What Happens When Barometric Pressure Drops? A drop in barometric pressure is common before storms, rainfall, or sudden weather c
