I have Gleason 3+4 prostate cancer, and am on active surveillance, plus bicalutamide. After 3 yeas, my PSA is down to 3.5. At my last meeting with my oncologist, I asked him about diet, and got a very unhelpful reply, mostly that I shouldn't take an extreme diet that made me feel deprived. While true, it really didn't address what I wanted to know, which was, which foods I should lean towards. As it happens, I love all foods, except for foods that are sweet, so I am very flexible about what I eat. There is no one particular food that I "must have", nor any particular foods that I dislike, so I can readily adapt to whatever is best for my long term health. This video was a much more satisfactory answer, so thank you very much. The answer here is: 1. When eating beef, favor grass fed beef (or presumably grass-fed bison) 2. Do eat high omega-3 fish 3. Eat less Omega-6 fats 4. Reduce simple carbs 5. Exercise vigorously 6. Maintain a healthy body weight All these will be no problem for me, as they are mostly what I am doing already. I note that you have some newer videos on the subject, and I will be watching them as well. Thank you very much for these. I'm mostly doing these already, but this gives me a few ideas to work on.

You will find positive clinical trials for the effectiveness of high dose melatonin. 20mg per evening. Take it earlier if you feel it in the morning. Eat beef bacon butter and eggs. You want to be in ketosis to fight cancer. That means you need to run on fat not carbs. 80% of your calories from fat. Stop seed oils. Stop fluoride toothpaste and mouthwash with alcohol. To protect oral biome for natural nitric oxide production. Within 30 days of eating just meat you will look forward to weightlifting. Seriously.

Great quote at the end: "Genes load the gun, but lifestyle pulls the trigger" Reminds me of a great book called: The Cancer Code, by Dr. Jason Feng. It's all about cancer, including prostate - and written so that everyone can grasp the concepts.

[@michaelirwin1887]

Very good lecture.

[@davidwelburn]

Excellent video, but SO many questions. How did the Atkins experiment go? Could do with a study comparing high fat with high complex carb (and low fat) with the standard western diet. What about dairy - not just saturated fat, but casein and possibly other carcinogens? I heard it has been shown that saturated fat and cholesterol drive prostate cancer - are you saying that isn't true? What about protein - animal vs. plant sources? What about methionine? Is canned fish OK? Any studies on eggs? What about soy? Any herbs and spices that could help - ginger, cayenne pepper, garlic, oregano, turmeric (curcumin)? Supplements - beta sitosterol and others? I know you don't have time to answer all this, but a HUGE amount more information is needed. Not just what people think or want to believe (based on agendas), but what actually works.

Do the yoke or yellow in eggs cause prostate cancer, ecocline I believe it’s called ?

[@magicf7076]

No. It does not. Period.

What about the older rural Chinese who ate a diet of 90% white rice and had very low levels of all cancers and almost a 0 level of prostate cancer?

[@simeric2]

At the time of the study, most peasants were getting by on minimal calories or were near starvation. Certainly their testosterone levels in general were low also. Hard to know what this means for men with access to proper nutrition.

[@socalrws]

@@simeric2 Chinese starvation diet, could that be autophagy?

[@nistelse3859]

they took a lot of soy/tofu...

[@davidwelburn]

I heard that when the Chines started polishing rice to make it white (mid 1800's), heart disease and deficiency diseases (beriberi) increased hugely. So brown rice far better than white. Low glycemic, so you won't get a huge insulin spike. Sounds like high insulin and excess body fat are main risk factors.

[@tnvol5331]

@@davidwelburn There is mounting evidence that glycemic index and glycemic load are bogus. Do a complete search and look at the data.

[@SamWolfandCo.fossickandfind]

Food for thought and life! People like to hear what they can eat and not always what they can't eat. Inherited lifestyles are hard to change hence obesity and heart problems as you get older and for men like myself prostate cancer was not inherited, but just age. As I've found a change in types of food for me in the first two weeks I lost around 7kilograms off my 105 kilogram body weight and loosing weight slowly rather than in a hurry is safer with exercise which I've gradually increased. Any good information is always helpful as there is so much we don't understand about what is good for one person may not always be good for another, I guess how we use and absorb our nutrition is part of the key. Interesting information👍🇺🇸✌

The Problem with Red Meat as produced today is any hormones being given to the animal, even Grass Fed, to stimulate Growth

[@schmingusss]

I think the problem is that in Western countries, meat is the main dish in the meal whearas in countries with low incidences of prostate cancer, it's used more as a garnish if at all.

I have been surviving prostate cancer for 5 years. Surgery, radiation, hormones. I tried the plant based diets for a few years and felt like crap. Now after 5 months of carnivore diet, I am stronger than ever. I actually look forward to working out and I am converting all of the Lupron induced fat back into muscle. Go carnivore, it's easier than you think. Just try a week of beef, butter, bacon and eggs. Salt to taste. Research fenbendazole and high dose (20mg) melatonin. Watch some of the actual testimonials on the No Carb Life KZbin Channel.

[@nelsonoliva2119]

curious what your psa is on carnivore diet? thank you

[@schmingusss]

I did the carnivore diet for the last 5 years. That and intermittent fasting. I recently did a psa test and it came back at 14. I was shocked. Dr now wants to do a biopsy. Me personally, I would not recommend the carnivore diet. I could be wrong, but that's hat I'm feeling right now.

[@gumbycat5226]

In my case lifestyle has absolutely nothing to do with my prostate cancer. I have always had low weight - 74kgs 181cms. Additionally I have always had a high level of fitness, vegetarian diet etc. In the two years before being diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer (Gleeson 9) I have actually been losing weight, my weight was around 72kgs at the time of my diagnosis. All my adult life I have been eating aligned with a Levant diet (high in lentils, beans) and also tomatoes, to help maintain prostate health. But there you are - cancer is, fundamentally, something that just happens. I have no family history of prostate cancer and I am of North European ethnicity. [Since being diagnosed two months ago, my weight has crashed 10kgs and I am dramatically underweight. This is mainly due to sadness but also, perhaps 3kgs of it is due to cutting out of all dairy and sugar, so that I am now strictly vegan, and will remain so for at least the next 10 years.]

[@da8675]

Wouldn't genetics also play a role in cancer risks in Japan also, as opposed to diet and lifestyle alone?

[@lashedbutnotleashed1984]

No, because when people come over to the US from Japan, within a couple of generations they get cancer at the same rate as people born in the US.

[@magicf7076]

Nope. Genetics play no role, unless it’s diagnosed in the family. Epigenetics do play a role.
