Seeds to Consider After a Prostate Cancer Diagnosis - Advice On Treatment Alternatives
Unlike their female counterparts who are proactively involved in their breast cancer treatment, men often fail to be fully informed of the treatment options for their prostate cancer prior to making a decision because they do not seek a second opinion. Prostate cancer patients opting for radical prostatectomy as recommended by their urologist, may be suitable candidates for less invasive procedures according to Dr. Kirk Kanady, Medical Director of Houston Prostate Cancer Centers. Innovative treatments are making it possible for men to live long and healthy lives following their diagnosis.
The current treatment options for prostate cancer include:
cryotherapy, radical prostatectomy (surgical removal), external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy (seed implants).
"To be fully informed a prostate cancer patient should see a Urologist to discuss surgical options but and also see a Radiation Oncologist to discuss external beam radiation therapy and brachytherapy," said Dr. Kanady. When appropriate, a Radiation Oncologist may advise a patient about brachytherapy, a popular minimally invasive procedure with equivalent cancer control rates to surgery says Dr. Kanady.
Commonly referred to as radiation "seed" implants, brachytherapy involves implanting rice-sized radioactive pellets into the prostate gland to kill cancerous cells.
Such products as Implant Science's I-Plant(TM) seeds are used in a unique "inside-out" radioactive treatment. The implant procedure, in expert hands, takes about 30 minutes, and the patients normally return home the same day.
The best candidates for brachytherapy are those with early stage prostate cancer, but studies have demonstrated excellent results in patients with more aggressive cancers.A recent study presented at the American College of Surgeons demonstrated that implanting brachytherapy seeds into the prostates of men who have undergone external radiation and now have recurrent prostate cancer is safe and effective.
Doctors initially believed too much radiation would cause undue harm to the surrounding tissue.
In the end, the study concluded that there were no major complications from the brachytherapy procedure.
Four years later, 70% of the men were free of prostate cancer."Brachytherapy is a viable option for my patients. The cure rate is high and the long-term side effects are less intrusive on a patient's quality of life," says Dr. Kanady.For more information on brachytherapy, log onto: www.implantsciences.com or www.prostatecancerexperts.com.

Fight Cancer With Broccoli Sprouts
Fight Cancer With Broccoli Sprouts
By Jeannie Crabtree
Mom was right to insist on us eating our vegetables. She knew they built health and gave us the minerals we need.
Take Broccoli sprouts. Broccoli sprouts are rich in a compound that provides significant protection against breast cancer and colon cancer. The compound is called sulforaphane glucosinalate.
Sprouts grown from certain types of broccoli seeds contain up to 50 times more of this compound than mature broccoli.
I have read that a brand of sprouts developed at John Hopkins University is guaranteed to have 20 more times the SGS compound than the mature broccoli. This one is called BroccoSprouts.
You can purchase broccoli sprouts at your local health food store or grocery store.
It is possible that Broccoli sprouts could carry the
bacteria that make you sick - salmonella and e.coli, so you may want to take them out of the container...

July Garden Chores
It's getting hotter every day or so it seems. There are still some things that can be done in the garden even at this time of year. Below are a few gardening tips for those that love the summer warmth. For you who aren't particularly appreciative of the hot hot, then do your gardening chores early in the morning.As the flowers in your garden start to fade, you should see seed pods begin to appear. What does this mean as far as the plant's growth is concerned? How does it affect the appearance of your garden?It means that the plant puts most of its resources towards the seeds and creating them.
If the seed pods are allowed to remain, the plant will not continue to give you flowers like it would if the seeds were removed once the flowers go by. You could end up with a garden with lots of seeds and few blooms. This of course, depends on many factors. Therefore, faded flowers should be cut off. You can go around every day as you go about youyr gardening with some type of trimmers...

The benefits of a Low Sodium Lifestyle
A low sodium, low salt diet shouldn't be a burden at all! Personally, I have kept to an "under 1000mg" a day diet with out giving up much but fast food (and who misses that anyway?)
When I was first told that my blood pressure was high ( 160/95) and labeled as having hypertension, I decided at that moment to do some serious research into what had created this "new-to-me" health concern.
I wanted to find a permanent solution to lower the numbers to an acceptable, healthy range without taking medication.
As I reflected on where I was in life at the moment, mid-life, not overweight, but not exercising regularly either, I began making small changes in my day-to-day lifestyle. I was not going to give in to hypertension.
First, I bought a nutritional handbook that lists most foods and their nutritional content. I decided to try and stay under 500mg of sodium daily. This took some work, but it paid off very well.
I had lowered my...

Asbestos Removal
Many buildings hold the presence of carcinogenic Asbestos which was used in thermal system insulation and numerous other materials. Before the ban on "popcorn ceilings" in the United States in 1978, its use was a common practice in the construction of homes. The "popcorn ceiling" is a source of the dangerous Asbestos, and therefore initiates a health need to remove the Asbestos present in the home and get the same verified in a competent laboratory. Asbestos might also be found in homes built...
