and how to prevent it:

1. GINGER
kills off 5-LO enzymes without which prostate cancer cells die within ours. A component of ginger can slow down or stop several types of cancer metastasis ( spreading cancer cells ).

2. SAW PALMETTO
prevents conversion of arachidonic acid into 5-HETE (support prostate cancer cells ) and 12-HETE ( support angiogenesis).

3. NETTLE ROOT
A. blocks 5-alpha-reductase enzyme (conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone)
B. inhibit aromatase, reducing the conversion of androgens (testosterone) to estrogens.
C.prevents accumulation of DHT and estrogens into prostate.
D. binds to SBGH (sex hormone binding globulin), increasing levels of free testosterone. (Low testosterone increases prostate cancer risk)

4. POMEGRANATE
reduce tumour cell growth and promotes apoptosis of prostate cancer cells.

5. MILK THISTLE (silymarin)
enchance prostate cancer cell death through apoptosis by reducing levels of NF-KB in the cell nucleus.

6. TOMATO (lycopene)
prevents NF-KB activation in prostate cancer by a different mechanism.

7. VITAMIN K2
may reduce the risk of prostate cancer by 35%. (European Prospective Investigation into cancer and Nutrition, EPIC)

General anti-cancer herbs:

8. TURMERIC
9. GARLIC
10.GREEN TEA EXTRACT (EGCG)
11.SOURSOP (GUANABANA, GRAVIOLA)
12. GAMMA TOCOPHEROL
