How can I help my Dad who is dying from prostate cancer?
I would also like to know what alternative medicine options are available that may be of help.
Hi Treatment:
To begin with, the patient should forgo all solid foods and subsist on water only for two or three
days. The intake of water should be as plentiful as possible. Nothing should be added to the
water except a little lemon juice, if desired. The water may be taken cold or hot and it should be
taken every hour or so when awake. This will greatly increase the flow of urine.
An enema may be taken once a day during fasting to clear the lower bowel of accumulations
After a thorough cleansing of the bowels, hot and cold applications may be used directly on the
prostate gland and its surrounding parts. The heat relieves the tissues and a brief cold
immersion tones them up. The patient should take alternate hot and cold hip baths. These are of
great value in relieving pain and reducing congestion. The hot bath should be taken first for 10
minutes, followed by a cold bath for one minute daily.
After the short fast, the patient should adopt an all-fruit diet for three days. The fruits should
include apples, pears, oranges, grape-fruit, grapes, sweet limes, mangoes, melons and all other
juicy fruits. This will help to clear toxins from the body and will also enable excess fat to be
reduced to some extent.
The exclusive fruit diet should be followed by a diet, consisting of two meals of fruits and one of
cooked vegetables for further seven days. The vegetable meal should be taken in the evening
and should consist of all kinds of cooked vegetables, preferably steam cooked. Thereafter, the
patient may adopt a well-balanced diet of three basic food groups, namely (i) seeds, nuts and
grains, (ii) vegetables and (iii) fruits.
The short lemon juice fast followed by an all-fruit diet and a further period on fruits and
vegetables may be repeated after two or three months if necessary depending on the progress
being made.
Pumpkin seeds have been found to be an effective home remedy for prostate problems and
many patients have been helped by their use. These seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids
which are essential to the health of the prostate.
Heavy starches,sweet stimulants and highly seasoned foods are entirely forbidden, as they
cause direct irritation on the prostate gland and bladder. The diet should also exclude spices,
condiments, salt in excess, sauces, red meats, cheese, asparagus, watercress, greasy or fried
foods, alcohol, tobacco and too much tea or coffee. The patient should avoid hurried meals and
must chew his food thoroughly and slowly. Water should be taken between meals and not at
mealtime.
The patient should avoid sexual irregularities in eating and drinking, long periods of sitting and
vigorous exercise. He should guard against constipation by taking plenty of fruits, bran and nuts.
All efforts should be made to tone up the general condition of the body. With a general
improvement in health, the condition will be greatly relieved. Surgery should be resorted to only
if the condition does not improve even after the dietary treatment and other measures outlined
here.
I hope you may find some helpful.
