High MultiVitamin Supplementation May Increase Prostate Cancer Deaths

[Guest guest]

Researchers affiliated with the National Institutes of Health (NIH)-AARP Diet

and Health Study have reported that men taking high levels of multivitamins have

an increased risk of advanced and fatal prostate cancer. The details of this

study appeared in the May 16, 2007 issue of the Journal of the National Cancer

Institute.

This report is extremely vague as to what type of vitamins were

involved, synthetic or food-based? Also the exact dosage used and other

factors(such as what other type of medication, life style, toxins,

etc., these patients were exposed to during the same period of time)

were not reported. Overall the report seems biased to me! In my own

case, I tend to go with the old traditional teachings... as much as

possible. This means that I am suspicious of anything that is processed

to the point that it will not be affected by microbes or consumed by

other living things... that's my cardinal rule! I think that body, mind

and spirit must be in harmony and that there is a certain natural

hierarchy in this that most people are not willing to adhere. This leads

to many imbalances which we term dis-ease. If you examine most disease

processes what you see is a correction taking place aiming towards

achieving balance. In some cases, the total disintegration of the body

may serve to balance a much larger disharmony!

 

There are some who think that humans are the main source of disharmony

to the planet... The Earth has a fever, bees are disappearing, genocide

goes on everyday, the suffering of living creatures is unbearable yet

the insanity continues, perhaps our time is up and the much prophesied

correction is forthcoming.... he, he, he Think about, if the naked ape

became extinct, would any other creature really miss them!?

This study reminds me of the one that found that one in nine women will get

breast cancer by age 85. That's not exactly it, though. Of women alive at

age 85, one in 9 will have, or have had, breast cancer. Breast cancer comes

more often to older women.

 

Now, of men who take good supplements, maybe more of them will have prostate

problems than men who don't take good supplements. Maybe the ones who

didn't take good supplements died off of other things before they had a

chance to develop prostate problems.

 

Live long enough, you're probably going to have some kind of problems.
