An abstract of this article was send to all the subscribers of Joni Bells information email messages. The complete article follows.
There has been a lot of hoopla about the PSA prostate cancer test for men primarily over the age of 40. I have written several small articles (circa mid 1990s) about the inaccuracy of this test in the past but now it has come to the point that it is a Billion Dollar Scam on all males of the world, but mostly American men. It is one of the highest profile tests for men that exists today.
If you dont believe me then read about it in The New York Times and The Washington Post. They both say the PSA test is basically worthless.
Why do I call it a . Because it is being touted as a means to improve the health of all men and protect them from getting cancer. This is just not a true statement. High PSA levels do not indicate cancer. What a high PSA does indicate is that there is something happening to cause inflammation of the prostate. It could be cancer but most times it is not cancer. A recent infection causing an enlargement of the prostate would be indicated by a high PSA level.
Consider this. Every may over the age of 50 will die with a prostate cancer condition, BUT  only a very few men will die from  prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is very, very slow growing and will have almost no effect on the quality of a mans life.
One thing the pressure to get a PSA test does if to provide the medical professionals the information that they use to drive men to go the next step and get a biopsy. These biospys are very risky as the process of a puncture into the prostrate could spread the cancer, even if it is very small, through the rest of the body. Now that person has cancer for real.
Stanford University had on it staff one Dr. Thomas Stamey. He was one of the original advocates of PSA testing. But Dr. Stanley changed because in 2004 at a medical conference he exposed the risks with the PSA test. Dt. Stamey made the comment in his lecture We have been so thorough and effective in screening for prostate cancer over this 20-year period that PSA no longer has a relationship to prostate cancer. Because we all develop the cancer, were now removing prostates from men whose cancer is so small that htey do not need the procedure. Were finding all these little cancers that are never going to be a danger to the patient. In smaller cancers, the PSA test is not relevant anymore; you might as well biopsy a man because he has blue eyes.
Over time the PSA test has become more frequent and the decision point to begin therapy has started sooner and more aggressive even though the prostate cancer is clinically insignificant. The usual will be for radiation, surgery and chemotherapy. The oncologists will take all the credit for an increased survival rate of men with prostate cancer. The failure in the whole system is that these men would have survived anyway. Now these men have to face incontinence, impotence and other diseases. It is say that medical politics and greed has driven the medical establishment to the level of a scam as initially mentioned above.
To avoid all the above what do men do?
Be aware of what you need to do to keep a healthy prostate. It is a gland so it needs good blood circulation and lymphatic circulation and drainage. Exrcise will accomplish this better than any one other thing. Walking moves all the muscles in the pelvic area. If you sit 8 hours a day because thats your job, then you need to take extra time to walk and it will increase your chanced of NOT having a prostate problem.
Avoid intense sexual excitement without a natural conclusion of ejaculation. This causes engorgement of the gland and if it continues for a long period of time it could lead to structural and functional damage to the prostate. A regular sexual habit is best.
It is best if you can avoid a diet that is very heavy in meats which would include beef, veal, port and poultry. Hormones previously used in cattle production of beef are mostly outlawed. Poultry producers have no such restriction. This includes chickens and turkeys.
Instead eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, organic is preferred. Juicing twice a day is especially beneficial. Juicing twice a day combined with at least 8 - 8 ounce glasses of pure filtered water will do wonders in the cleansing of the urinary tract and the body in general. Do not overindulge in coffee and alcohol.
How can you tell if you are starting to have a prostate problem. Here are some of the signs.
