Prostate Problems
Prostate cancer is cancer of the prostate gland, which is located in the male reproductive system, close to the rectum. The entire prostate encloses the urethra. The prostate is also a “dumping ground” for toxins such as heavy metals, bacteria, chemicals and pesticides – even radiation from mobile phones.
If the prostate is enlarged, or if the PSA count is raised (over 4 – 6), it is likely that the prostate is toxic, which can lead to a cancerous condition. Early detection makes all the difference!
Symptoms can include changes in urination patterns: reflux, delayed, pain, burning pain, desire to go without any flow, only a very small release, and uncomfortable feeling when sitting. Mood swings can also be a symptom of prostate problems.
Treating Toxic Prostate
The first priority for any diet is to eradicate toxins. At The Centre For Integrated Health, we recommend the following:
Drink at least one and a half litres of water daily (in our opinion, bottled Volvic is the best).
Avoid tea, coffee, alcohol and sugar, as they are poisonous (use herbal alternatives).
Organic vegetables and fruit should account for at least 60% of your diet. Raw is best, but steamed and stir-fried is also good.
Protein should be eaten daily in the form of beans, nuts and fish
Carbohydrates should be in the form of oats, rye, barley, millet and quinoa. Wheat, rice and potatoes should be eaten in lesser amounts.
Oils and fats Animal fats, margarines and heat-treated oils should be avoided. You can use cold-pressed olive, flax and nut oils. Butters made from almond, cashew and hazelnuts are delicious. Use the absolute minimum of oils when cooking. Do not use peanut/ground nut oil.
Herbs should be used fresh. Try coriander, parsley, tarragon and fennel with pine nuts in slightly warmed olive oil. Not only will this help in detoxification, it will also add good flavour to your food.
Some individuals may be intolerant to ‘good’ foods such as certain fruits and vegetables. By continuing to eat them their immune system will be compromised. Therefore, it is best to have them checked. Our scans provide all the insights we need to tailor a treatment plan to the needs of the individual.
Case Study
It’s often the case at The Centre For Integrated Health that people come in for some reason, and our non-invasive full system scans show prostate problems additionally.
Early detection and treatment of prostate problems is of extremely high value. Not only will our scans identify problems early and identify the most effective course of treatment for the individual concerned; but our experienced practitioners will advise clients on self-examination and preventative measures.

The dangers of prostate disease and prostate cancer are very real and their effects severe. The earlier problems are identified, the more likely it is that problems can be curbed. Our scanning technology can help identify problems before symptoms would be recognized, and can identify the correct course of treatment.

For thousands of years, humans have been accustomed to a selection of natural foods that have provided us with all the essential nutrients. Todays diet is vastly different to that of our ancestors, and one of the most widespread nutritional deficiencies is of essential fatty acids (EFAs). EFAs are the building blocks of the membranes in our cells. Most of these EFAs can be synthesized by our bodies, but the two that have to be supplemented through diet are Omega 3 and Omega 6. The body functions best when these are in a balance ration of 1:1, but because our modern diet is so high in Omega 6s, a typical ration is around 25:1. Large quantities of Omega 3 are therefore necessary to redress this balance.Flaxseed oil is the richest source of Omega 3 fatty acids yet found anywhere in the world. It also has a high Lignan content. Lignan is a gentle plant hormone that is the key to estrogenic balance in the body. Omega-3 oils have been shown to help reduce heart disease, strokes, and inflammatory diseases, and are linked to many other positive health results. Nearly every system in the body can benefit from flax seed oil's natural properties, including the cardiovascular system, immune system, circulatory system, reproductive system, nervous system, as well as joints. It also contains omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc.

This is a sustainably-sourced and pollution free supplement. Krill are shrimp-like crustaceans which feed on algae and are caught from the cleaner Antarctic ocean. The oil that is extracted from them consists of three components:- Omega-3 fatty acids similar to those of fish oil- Omega-3 fatty acids attached (conjugated) to phospholipids, mainly phosphatidylcholine (alternatively referred to as marine lecithin)- Astaxanthin, an antioxidant. Unlike many other antioxidants, astaxanthin crosses the blood-brain barrier, where it could theoretically protect the eye, brain and central nervous system from free radical damage.What's particularly special about Krill Oil is that its omega-3 content is mainly in the omega-3 phospholipid form, which research suggests is a preferred dietary supplement when compared to omega-3 in triglyceride form (found in fish and cod liver oils). The phospholipid form is more stable and the naturally occurring antioxidant astaxanthin helps this stabilisation further. The typical Western diet is very low in Omega 3 and even lower in Omega 3 from phospholipids. Research has shown that Krill oil may be able to help in treatment of PMS, cardiovascular Disease, Memory, Dementia, Mood Disorders, Depression, ADHD, Reducing Inflammation, Arthritis and Osteoporosis. Krill Oil also contains the other fatty acids essential fatty acids Omega’s 6 and 9. It is very stable and will last two years at room temperature. This particular brand has been selected for its high quality and purity; for the unique delivery system and its bioavailability; and for its natural fish gelatine capsules.
Possible Drug InteractionsPeople taking blood thinners (anticoagulant or anti-platelet medication), such as aspirin, warfarin (Coumadin), heparin, clopidogrel (Plavix), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (NSAIDS) such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), naproxen (Naprosyn, Aleve) should only use krill oil under a physician's supervision. Krill oil should also be used with caution by people taking herbs and supplements that are thought to increase the risk of bleeding, such as ginkgo biloba and garlic. Do not take if allergic to shellfish.
