Prostate Cancer Susceptibility

[Nutrient-Nut]

Well, since you're a GNC person, you should have access to lot's of beneficial nutrients for your prostate health.

After a cycle, load up on:
Saw Palmetto*
Zinc*
Selenium*
L-Alanine
L-Glycine
Pumpkin seed
Gamma oryzanol
Horsetail herb
Pygeum bark
Sarsaparilla root
Siberian Ginseng root
Ginkgo leaf

*these are the most important ones for prostate health, but the others have shown some benefit.

PS - Deca-Durabolin would be your best choice of all AAS's out there to cause the least amount of harm to your prostate. I would just do Deca by itself at 200 mg per week. I know doctors that prescribe it at this dose.

Proscar/Finasteride (response to needsizes post)

I did some research on proscar/finasteride after reading ur post. I had already looked up enough material on anti-estrogen drugs to get a good understanding about them. But in my research about proscar/finasteride, it appears that they are not only used for treating male pattern baldness / BHP, but they severly decrease hormone production. About to the point where you can actually develop gyno, due to your test levels dropping, while your estrogen levels remain normal (one of the side effects is swollen/sore breasts). Also, it says that in many test studies done on both of the drugs, neither decreased any instances of prostate cancer. I assume that saw palmetto / zinc should be sufficent for blocking DHT production. (P.S. , It's 3 in the morning here, and I gotta drive 6 hours tommorow morning. Some of my info may be insufficent/incorrect. I'm a bit tired. But i'll repost if i find anything else out.) Peace.

Bro not to be rude but if you gained 30lbs in 4 months jesus thats a lot. I would think awhile before taking a step to the dark side. I think it would take me a year of hard hard work to get that kind of result., but if you know for sure your bod wants to stop around 170-175 I think the deca only cycle sounds good and wouldn't mess with the test. 200mgs week to start. If you can afford it try to get ahold of some anavar. Good luck..... Keep us informed of what you plan on doing.

good info liftsiron

do you take saw only when you are on, or do you suggest it daily forever?

i'm not sure i'm at large risk of prostate cancer, and i'm keeping my cycles very mild, primo/OralT right now, and EQ/winny in the spring, and that might be it for me for good if i can reach my goals (i've never wanted to be huge), but the prostate stuff really scares me so i want to be careful

Anyone heard of beta-sitoserol? http://www.youngagain.com/betpros30.html

i'm curious, is this stuff (beta-sitoserol, saw p) a good idea even for young guys (i'm 27) as a preventative thing, or should you only bother when you're older and experiencing symptoms? I want to be careful, but not throw my money away unnecessarily

what are the worst AS for prostate risk?

maybe while ON-cycle it's a good idea regardless of age, and then OFF-cycle, only use as symptoms arise or when you get older?

Had a talk with my dad the other day...

I found out some good information from him about prostate cancer. It turns out that even with the radioactive seed implants, the prostate is still rendered non-functional. However, when i asked him if he was taking testosterone pills, he said that the doctors said it was unnecessary. Testosterone is not just secreted through the prostate...in fact, very little comes from the prostate. Most comes from other glands throughout your body. Another interesting tidbit, is that 1 out of 5 men will get prostate cancer in their life, and if you are genetically predisposed, then there is a 20% greater chance on top of that, so technically, there will be a 24% chance total of getting it. And when i spoke to him, The major problem of having an inactive prostate is that there is no ejaculation (sperm is made in the prostate, and stored in the testicles.).
So now technically, I only have a 4% greater chance of gettin prostate cancer than all the rest of you, some who appear to be doing very hardcore AS stacks. This makes me feel a little better. I will still be VERY careful with the AS's i choose, but perhaps a deca only cycle will be a little of a waste, without being stacked with even a mild androgenic.
A bit off topic tho, One of my biggest probs I had is fatloss. even when i was 145 and 4-6% bf, I still had love handles and a pouch on my stomach (the top of my abs under my sternum had good def. tho). Does anyone know how to remedy this?

A lot of muscle . If you went from 200 down int he 130s man I am sure you have some skin that will be a little loose and stay a little loose untill you fill it in. I am sure another 30lbs will help you a lot. Then worry about cutting up those love handles

I cannot beleive someone told you to do Fina! That has to be one of the worst on the prostate. When I was on for a long time towards the end of my cycle my prostate swelled up, I was pissing 6 times a night and I could feel it if I made sudden movements with my legs. DO NOT DO FINA!
