Prostate Cancer Treatment Causes Heart Disease and Diabetes

One common treatment for prostate cancer is to use hormone-disrupting drugs to the point of chemical castration (depressing testosterone production to nothing).  Another approach is actual castration.  According to a new study¹, either procedure causes significant risk for heart disease, and chemical castration with a GnRH agonist also causes diabetes.

Targeting testosterone as the cause of prostate cancer, in and of itself, is a testament to the ineptitude of the medical profession (similar to targeting estrogen in and of itself as a cause of breast cancer).  Sex hormones are needed for survival by both sexes (not just for reproduction and survival of the race – but for personal survival).  Testosterone is needed for circulation and metabolism.  In many cases it is actually low testosterone that causes prostate cancer.

Keeping sex hormones working properly is vital to health.  As I have explained in my article, Prostate Cancer & the Androgen Receptor – A Clearer Picture of the Problem, men have many options to be healthier and correct this problem before it happens. 

If you wait around too long you may be discussing treatment options with a doctor that may make you think you are in the twilight zone.
