Cholesterol's Contribution
to Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men; however, this
form of cancer is particularly widespread in the West, where diets tend to be
high in cholesterol, compared to rural parts of China and Japan, where lowfat diets are custom. Such findings have steered doctors to suspect that diet,
via cholesterol levels, plays a crucial role in the development and prevention
of prostate cancer.
By injecting human prostate cancer cells into mice, researchers were able to
develop a clearer understanding of how cholesterol levels directly affect
tumor cells. They monitored the behavior of the cells in the mice and found:


Cholesterol accumulated in the outer membranes of tumor cells in mice that were fed highcholesterol diets.
This cholesterol buildup appeared to change chemical signaling patterns within the cells.
Due to the altered signaling patterns, cells resisted signals telling them to commit suicide and
continued to multiply in an uncontrolled fashion.
Six weeks after being injected with the tumor cells, mice on high-cholesterol diets had twice as
many tumors--which were also bigger in size--compared to mice following ordinary diets.
Lowering Cholesterol Levels
Researchers also found that cholesterol-lowering statin drugs may be responsible for inhibiting prostate
cancer growth; however, such drugs have been linked to a number of adverse health effects such as
weakness, muscle aches and immune system suppression.
Due to these dangers, men are encouraged to adopt a healthy low-cholesterol diet and an active lifestyle
to maintain optimal cholesterol levels.

Guest Comment by Dr. Larry Clapp:
This study confirms years of clinical experience that obesity and high cholesterol contribute to
prostate cancer. In fact, a number of studies have established the obesity correlation with
prostate cancer.
High cholesterol, as well as obesity, is known to raise estrogen in men, a principal cause of
prostate cancer. When male estrogen increases, testosterone decreases. So what does testosterone
have to do with prostate cancer? Well, men must have high levels of testosterone not only for
healthy bones, a clear brain and a healthy sex life, but also to maintain a healthy prostate.
Studies have found that men with low testosterone have osteoporosis, while men with high
testosterone prevent prostate problems.
Healthy Living, Not Statins, Cure Prostate Symptoms
Now, let's delve a little deeper into the topic at hand: The use of statins to help lower cholesterol
levels, which in turn reduces your risk of prostate cancer ...
When you take statins to prevent or even cure prostate cancer, you are just asking for increased
prostate symptoms. This is because--in addition to Dr Mercola's excellent articles on the dangers
of using statin drugs--our clinical experience confirms that statins cause BPH (benign prostatic
hypertrophy, which ultimately becomes prostate cancer), prostatitis and prostate cancer, as well
as their associated symptoms.
For years we have regularly seen prostate symptoms disappear when men eliminate the use of
statins and instead follow the basic cleansing and good nutrition principles of Dr. Mercola's Total
Health Program. Additionally, Prostate PCD Sonograms confirm shrinking of the prostate, as
well as healthier blood flows in the prostate, when statins are discontinued.
You see, when you quit relying on a pill to solve your problems and instead
learn to pay attention to the message your body is trying to give you, you
can find out what changes you need to make and then begin to find the
cause(s) and true healing.
Dr. Larry Clapp is the author of bestselling Prostate Health in 90 Days
Without Drugs or Surgery. When diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1990, Dr.
Clapp made a firm decision to deflect falling victim to surgery, radiation or
chemotherapy and instead focused on researching the self-healing alternatives
to treating prostate cancer. During his seven years of intensive research, Dr.
Clapp developed expertise in cleansing, nutritional healing, pH balancing,
herbology, homeopathy, bodywork and energetic and spiritual healing.
Combining the best of these healing arts, he developed a successful treatment
program for prostate cancer, which he used to cure himself.

He earned his J.D. degree at the University of Michigan Law School in 1963 and later obtained his
Ph.D. at Galien University in London in 1996.
Today, Dr. Clapp is cancer-free and uses his research to aid others in treating and curing their prostate
cancer without succumbing to harmful drugs or surgery.
Finally, a Natural Approach to Achieving
Prostate Health!
This year, some 200,000 American men will discover they have prostate cancer. Second only
to skin cancers, prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer in men. Thirty percent of
American men, or one in four, will have prostate cancer by the time they're 50, with the
numbers increasing as men age. As many as 38,000 men are expected to die from prostate
cancer this year alone.
Most physicians recommend the standard treatment choices--surgery, radiation, and hormonal
therapy--treatments that have limited effectiveness at best and cause major side effects ranging
from incontinence to impotence for an overwhelming majority of patients.
While many doctors think
immediately of eliminating
the problem, they think
very little of the
treatment's devastating
side effects that seriously
diminish the patient's
quality of life. And, for the
40,000 American men who
have their prostates
removed each year, 35
percent of the men
afflicted find themselves
dealing with the return of
the disease within just five
years.

When diagnosed with
prostate cancer in 1991, Dr. Larry Clapp rejected the commonly held notion in the medical
community that benign prostate enlargement and cancer is an inevitable part of male aging.
Instead, Dr. Clapp was determined not to become another statistic. Refusing to have surgery,
radiation or chemotherapy, he embarked on a personal mission to investigate alternative
treatments.

The results of Larry Clapp's extraordinary journey became the basis of the healing
program that ultimately cured his cancer and is summarized in his easy-to-follow,
emotionally insightful book, "Prostate Health in 90 Days without Drugs or Surgery."
Appalled by the poor options within the context of conventional medical treatment, Dr. Clapp
felt he had to write this book to give men other, more natural, possibilities to consider for
treatment and prevention. "Prostate Health in 90 Days" will teach you how to:






Use nutrition, massage, herbs, homeopathy and other alternative healing
approaches to stop prostate trouble before it starts.
Understand what causes cancer, including toxins from the environment, diet,
drugs and parasites--all easy to change.
Reverse the cancer-causing effects of dental toxins.
Cleanse and strengthen your prostate, colon and other organs.
Enhance your sex life and become physically and mentally stronger.
Virtually eliminate your chances for disease.
Clapp's program is based primarily on balancing the pH level in your body by clearing toxins,
improving the diet, exercising and working toward a healthier emotional and sexual life. Most
of us living in industrialized countries are highly acidic, and therefore unwitting hosts to
prostate and other cancers. Toxins from our food, water, air, parasites and dental work all
contribute to making us acidic.
Within two months of beginning the health regimen described in this book, blood tests (PSA,
CEA, Albumin) showed that Dr. Clapp's cancer was receding, and physical examination of the
prostate was normal.
Dr. Clapp's cancer returned several years later. He attributed its return to his own imprecise
balancing of pH. By applying new knowledge, refined over years of study of The Ultimate
Fast, supplements, homeopathics and pH balance monitored by the Biological Terrain
Assessment (BTA) (a European test that is gaining popularity in the United States that
measures pH, reduction oxidation, and the resistivity of the blood, saliva and urine), Dr. Clapp
was again cancer-free within two months. Not only did he overcome his cancer, but he also
became far healthier than he was at the start!
Mirroring my own conviction, Dr. Clapp emphasizes the importance of men and women
becoming more educated about their bodies and taking more responsibility for their health as
opposed to blindly following standardized courses of treatment based on fear.
Demonstrating how we can take our health care into our own hands, Dr. Clapp provides a
program designed to defeat cancer by strengthening the body's natural defenses and balancing
pH so that cancer cannot live in the body.
This "9-Point Program" outlines how you can:

Endorsed by the American Health Institute, "Prostate Health in 90 Days without Drugs or
Surgery" challenges conventional Western medicine, offering a groundbreaking perspective
that is long overdue.
Dr. Larry Clapp's message is too poignant to ignore: the prostate is that vital center from
which men derive their vitality, creative energy and sexual drive--without it, overall health and
quality of life is severely diminished.
That's why it's important to take care of your prostate now, before trouble begins. Waiting for
symptoms may be waiting too long. Even in cases of the advanced cancer, there may be no
warning signs.
"Prostate Health in 90 Days without Drugs or Surgery" will arm any man with prostate cancer
with all the information he needs to face difficult decisions with confidence and clarity. I
highly urge anyone who has cancer of the prostate, or wants to maintain optimal prostate
health, to make reading this book a top priority.
Dr. Clapp's amazing healing plan has also proved very effective for prostatitis. Prostatitis, a
precursor to prostate cancer, affects most, if not all, men to some degree. Dr. Clapp's
"Prostatitis: The 60-Day Cure" is a comprehensive 256-page downloadable e-Book organized
into three easily understandable and insightful parts targeted to help men detect and heal
prostatitis at an early stage.
"Prostate Health in 90 Days without Drugs or Surgery" and "Prostatitis: The 60-Day Cure"
together make up the ultimate reference guide for prostate health.
Dr. Clapp's natural solution is one that will not only eliminate the disease itself but also will
increase general levels of health. Thousands of men have benefited from it, and with this book
many thousands more can too.
