The Apple: An effective weapon against prostate cancer?

by Symptom Advice on August 21, 2010

The number of people getting infected with prostate cancer is on the increase. the disease rarely exhibits symptoms at an early stage, and it is hard to detect the disease until it reaches an advanced stage. there are many treatment options including therapies, but most of them have side effects. Based upon a recent study, natural compounds found in the apple, have been proven to be an effective weapon in reducing the prostate cancer cells.

Androgen is the male hormone which is responsible for the growth and progression of prostate cancer. Androgen receptor acts as a “lock” and fits the chemical “key” of the male hormone testosterone. Quercetin is a polyphenolic flavanoid extracted from apples. this is a natural compound which is free from side effects. It has the ability to suppress the androgen receptor from binding with the testosterone, ultimately avoiding its ability to advance the growth of the prostate cancer cell.

In addition scientists have found out that the peel of apple also has anti cancer growth properties. the growth of prostate cancer cells can be reduced with the help of the apple peel which is rich in antioxidants. according to the researchers, when the victims of prostate cancer consumed the extracts, or peel of apple, the cancer cells survived for less time and also grew at a slower rate.

The PSA ZERO program, utilizes the similar use of this bio technology to help men avoid and control prostate cancer as well as other associated disease.
