ChaserHUN Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I saw lot of time on the internet that flax seed oil casues prostate cancer. Someone say oil and the seed causes it, some say only the oil, the seeds actually help prevent it. They say that increases the risk because of ALA. Somewhere it says it helps prevents it. Whats the truth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewybaws Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I've probably seen a negative story like this about every food I eat. The truth is the stress from worrying that much about is prob worse than any of the possible effects. My advice is pretty simple. Don't overeat any one food, just keep it balanced. Personally at the moment I have a few tablespoons of ground flax a day and maybe the same in oil (though the oil is mixed with other oils).

vegimator Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 Judging from my search on pubmed, there hasn't been that much research on the subject, and from the studies that have been conducted, flax oil seems to prevent, not cause prostate cancer. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19064574"Findings suggest that flaxseed is safe and associated with biological alterations that may be protective for prostate cancer." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12429338"A diet supplemented with 5% flaxseed inhibits the growth and development of prostate cancer" http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15134976Similar study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19143008According to this study, lard enlarges your prostate and flax oil shrinks it. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9103275This study postulates that the high lignan content of soy causes a reduction in prostate cancer. Flaxseed is even higher in lignans than soy. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15496224Flax is recommended as part of the "anti-cancer diet". http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15351581Soy and flax, with their high phytoestrogen contents were shown to help people with prostate cancer.

medman Posted July 10, 2011 Share Posted July 10, 2011 I just did my urology rotation. Not once did I ever hear a urologist tell a man with BPH or prostate cancer to avoid flax. There just isn't evidence to support that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estgee Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 What drugs can help with cancer? Is there anything that can be combined with chemotherapy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fr33d0santana Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 After my breast cancer diagnosis last year, I tried so hard to find natural ways to support my treatment. I drank tons of green juice, exercised daily, and took all kinds of supplements. The one that seemed really promising was fenbendazole. There are actually studies showing it has anti-tumor effects! My oncologist hadn't heard of using it for cancer, but was open to me taking it as long as I told her what dose I was using. I ordered high quality fenbendazole online from the site fenbendazole dosage calculator I took it throughout chemo and radiation. I can't say for sure it's why, but I sailed through treatment with minimal side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
