Dr. Gordon’s comments:
It is now official that PSA testing, as now used, is wasting time and money and accomplishing nothing! This study shows then that current prostate cancer treatments are also largely useless! This could be the beginning of the end for mainstream cancer treatment.

We already knew that breast cancer treatment is failing. We have lots of data showing mammograms do more harm than good and radiation is not helpful for most breast cancer patients and axillary lymph node dissection does more harm than good. Now men are learning that the nonsense of removing your prostate and radiating it and using all the drugs they are given, all of which destroys any quality of life, and is not making a big difference over doing nothing.

Now we have an official report that prostate cancer treatment based on PSA is a total waste of time. The urologists will be very upset to lose their lucrative racket. No man likes to live with the fact that he has prostate cancer so it is easy to talk them into all kinds of useless and dangerous treatments, no matter how devastating the side effects of surgery are.

Amazingly no one ever mentions how easy it is to bring PSA into safe ranges and keep it there for life with the FIGHT program, as documented by Dr Kobayashi in his ten year World without Cancer study! That approach makes no money for specialists and is just too simple for our radiation oncologists and surgeons to recommend. The simple ideas that by exercising, and lowering stress, stop smoking, simplify diet, get more sleep, use some natural products to boost immune function will provide a far better outcome than surgery radiation and chemo just does not have widespread appeal.

All we need to do is get on prostate support herbs like Saw Palmetto, PYGEUM, etc. and, if really motivated to get healthy, take my Power Drink and Beyond Chelation-Improved and use some Far Infra Red Sauna treatments to help get toxins out. There is no future in that for our big prostate cancer industry; they will continue to lie and pretend that the cancer is just in the prostate area.

The Johnson and Johnson cancer blood test continues to find those prostate cancer cells in the peripheral blood. In one study, in 2/3 of the patients who had been told that their cancer was only in the prostate so removing it would eliminate their cancer for once and always, that was not true. As we know cancer is a systemic disease and needs systemic treatment, as Kobayashi proved in Tokyo.

Cancer screening tests are very useful if we keep the patients out of the hands of the surgeons, oncologists, and radiologists. Abnormal tests go back to healthy ranges and stay there if the patient is on an adequate health promoting program. The PSA test, properly used, rewards patients for taking better care of themselves, but with the tendency of patients to not accept the fact that by age 60 sixty percent of men have prostate cancer that will not kill them, they are suckers for doing something , particularly since insurance pays for it. Doctors do little to warn them about how inconvenient incontinence and impotence are for the rest of their life. They need to know that aggressive treatment is not extending their life, so why not focus on getting healthy and doing the exercise and life style changes that do work every time and do help keep PSA levels in healthy ranges.

Prostate treatments are shown to have problems but most patients will not be told about the lack of proven benefit from aggressive treatment but you need to let them know that this committee found PSA testing is useless, as currently used by mainstream medicine. The interventions they recommend can lead to infections, impotence and incontinence so critics say the risks of testing often outweigh the benefits.

My detox based FIGHT program has no downside and is relevant to all age-related chronic diseases. We can bring most cancer screening tests into safer, healthier ranges using my FIGHT program, which is based on ten years of work by Dr Kobayashi where none of the 10,000 subjects died of cancer. His paper is called World without Cancer and is on my website www.gordonresearch.com.

Panel Faults Widely Used Prostate-Cancer Test

BY JENNIFER CORBETT DOOREN AND THOMAS M. BURTON

A key federal advisory panel is poised to recommend that healthy men shouldn’t be screened with a widely used blood test for prostate cancer, indicating that the test offers more harm than benefit.

Dr. Gordon commentsd on Harvard study

By on May 10, 2011 in F.I.G.H.T. | comments(0)

Linda’s comment:  This is a great read……

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

Finally they hit pay dirt with turning on Telomerase. This is the real thing; read it carefully!!! Yes, we will soon be able to substantially reverse aging even when you are near death! This is the most exciting proof that anti-aging will one day work that I have ever seen. This makes it worthwhile to really take good care of your body now, as this major breakthrough will happen for humans in our lifetime I am sure.

This Harvard associated study is the most credible research I have seen that we may one day really take years off our age even when we are very old and sick. This involved tweaking the genes to turn on Telomerase and worked even when the mice were near death’s doorstep. Then the mice still were able to grow new brain and other cells and clearly the effects are systemic and rejuvenating.

“These mice were equivalent to 80-year-old humans and were about to pass away,” says Ronald DePinho, co-author of the paper and a scientist at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston. After the experiment, “they were the physiological equivalent of young adults.”

Telomerase, as cancer treatment or cancer cause, needs to be understood since anti-aging benefits might be offset by increased cancer. Since enhancing telomerase has recently been shown to dramatically reverse aging then doing the opposite might be worth looking into for treating cancer. Please note, however, that this makes it clear why those who will be researching the antiaging benefits from inducing telomerase will be very concerned about the possibility that they will also increase cancer in those using the treatment.

I sent this research to you so that you will understand that Cancer is is a realistic possibility to consider. But there can be balance to this using non-toxic small conditional RNA’s that identify and kill cancer cells. And, since I lecture a great deal about How to Stem the Tide of Cancer, I am confident that a healthy outcome will be possible with telomerase induction, as we can monitor with tumor marker testing early tendencies toward developing cancer in patients receiving anti-aging telomerase therapy. 
We will plan to use therapies that we are already familiar with.  We can expect then that, in most instances, as Dr. Kobayashi proved in is ten year study in Japan that a World without Cancer is available now. He proved that simple things will bring early cancer marker tests back under control and death from cancer can be avoided.

But in case that is not sufficient control for some cases, then the new research about RNA curing cancer should be the safety blanket that will promote the safe use of antiaging based telomerase induction using gene tweaking, as described in Nature this week.  Their only fear from this approach is moving toward cancer and of course they have no idea about how nutritional and herbal approaches can keep that tendency under control.

So start exercising and detoxing now, as it now seems it is never too late to plan to live much longer with a healthy younger body!

PSA Rise as Cancer Predictor – with Dr. Gordon’s Comments

By on Apr 1, 2011 in F.I.G.H.T. | comments(0)

Dr. Gordon’s Comments:

PSA level velocity is a red herring; another myth about cancer diagnosis and treatment falls apart. How many men have lived in fear for years and some have had multiple biopsies, which I do not order for my patients because prostate cancer is the easiest of all cancers to treat with natural products.

– the “velocity” of rising PSA has needlessly tripled the biopsy rate providing risk without benefit for patients”

Since biopsies are now known to help spread cancer, the benefit to risk ratio for 2 out of 3 biopsies is  clearly negative. What we need, of course, is something that motivates people to follow a health promoting life style. I have called my life style program F.I.G.H.T. It is based on Dr Kobayashi’s ten years of research where some ten thousand patients avoided death from cancer.

It proved that cancer level in our body invariably diminishes with the simple health promoting steps he developed, which lead to my developing the F.I.G.H.T. program. It is important that these steps are initiated before the lump/bump stage develops. This proves that all cancer tests have some potential benefit to motivate patients to improve their health but only if we can limit the damage that overly aggressive treatment can lead to, including unwarranted biopsies. Cancer is a systemic disease and attacking the prostate or whatever tissue seems to be the focus is not the answer.

Excerpt:

Study: PSA rise not good prostate cancer predictor
Updated Feb 24, 2011 5:58 PM |

A rising PSA level isn’t such a good a predictor of prostate cancer after all, and can lead to many unnecessary biopsies, says a large new study.

Most men over 50 get PSA blood tests, but they’re hugely problematic. Too much PSA, or prostate-specific antigen, only sometimes signals prostate cancer is brewing — it also can mean a benign enlarged prostate or an infection. And screening often detects small tumors that will prove too slow-growing to be deadly. Yet there’s no sure way to tell in advance who needs aggressive therapy.

On the other hand, some men have cancer despite a “normal” PSA count of 4 or below. So for PSAs that are rising, yet still in the normal range, some guidelines urge doctors to consider a biopsy.

How quickly the PSA number rises is something “that patients and doctors worry a lot about,” said Dr. Andrew Vickers of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. “Men show up here with a PSA of 2 and we say, ‘Why are you here?’ And they say, ‘Well, I used to be a 1 and my doctor’s worried. Am I going to die?'”

So Sloan-Kettering researchers studied whether considering PSA velocity adds value to the biopsy-or-not decision in those otherwise low-risk men — and concluded it doesn’t.
“This is a really important study,” said Dr. Otis Brawley of the American Cancer Society, who wasn’t part of the research. “A lot of doctors are going to stop looking at a PSA rise of 1 and ordering biopsies.”
