Questions You Need To Ask And Answers You Must Know On Prostate Health Condition by PriestBeMyName(m): 3:49pm On Feb 02, 2016
Men over 40 years of age are dying from Prostate Health problems. Are you at risk? Please, be aware of your prostate health. These are some frequently asked questions.

1. What is Prostate and its function in the first place?
Ans: The prostate is a walnut sized gland that surround the urethra, the tube that drains the bladder through the penis.It is responsible for production of semen that carries sperm from testis when ejaculating.

2. What age group of Men are implicated in Prostate Enlargement and/or Cancer and what is the average of Men that are diagnosed with Prostate Cancer?

Ans: The average age at which men are diagnosed with prostate cancer is 68 to 72, and diagnosis with prostate enlargement is40. Prostate cancer is usually with a slow-growing tumor that may have begunthirty or forty years earlier. i.e it increase from an incidence of 8% in 30 to40 years of age to over 80% in men over 80 years of age.

3. What is the different between Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Hyperplasia or Hypertrophy?
Ans: Hyperplasia of the prostate is caused by an enlargement of the cells in the prostate gland and usually benign meaningnon-cancerous. Hypertrophy is when the prostate gland has too many normal prostatic cells, also usually benign. Also Hyperplasia and hypertrophy is a kind of growth that does not invade the healthy surrounding tissues. However,Prostate Cancer is malignant growth that becomes progressively invasive,exhibiting metastasis; in this process, small clusters of cancerous cells separate from the tumor, invade the blood and through the lymphatic system and damage other body organs.

4. What are the Major Symptoms and Signs in Prostate Cancer?
Ans: Symptoms include, urgency to urinate,urinating several times at night, difficult urination, weak urinary stream,dribbling, incomplete emptying and recurrent urinary infections, general body weakness, and serious pains.

5. What is Glutathione and the connection between Glutathione and Prostate Cancer?
Ans: Glutathione is a tripeptide (very small protein) that occurs naturally within the body, where it is assembled by individual cells from its three components - the amino acids glycine glutamate and the all-important cysteine. Glutathione (pronounced"gloota-thigh-own"wink is the body's essential health AID – Antioxidant(endogenous), Immune cells repairer and Detoxifier. It is also refer to as the master antioxidant, because all other antioxidant (Vitamin C or E) depend upon the presence of glutathione to function properly. Glutathione is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed when we experience any sort of health challenges- illness, stress, fatigue and even exercise. According to Oncologist Bill Nelson, M.D., Ph.D. of Hopkins University, when a crucial enzyme called glutathione-S transferase - Pi (GSTTPi), an enzyme of the glutathione molecule is missing in the prostatic cells, the chaos that results from the enzyme's failure to do its job -- which is to protect DNA from outside forces that can harm it -- eventually leads to prostate cancer. Actually, research has shown this enzyme to be a biomarker in predicting prostate cancer at it is almost universally lost in both cancerous and pre-cancerous prostate cells. The inactivation of this glutathione enzyme has been shown to be early event in the development of prostate cancer.

6. What is the Role of Glutathione in Cancer Prevention?
Ans: (1) Antioxidant Defense against DNA mutation.
Cancer starts with damage to the DNA of a cell causing DNA mutation. Free radicals are pro-oxidants, a normal by-product of energy production in the cells and other cellular activities. Free radicals have been implicated as a major causative factor in the development of cancer. A 1996 article in the European Journal of Cancer suggests that free radicals be listed as an important class of carcinogens (agent that can cause cancers). Glutathione is the cell's major antioxidant that efficiently neutralizes the damaging potential of free radicals as soon as they form, before they can damage the DNA of any cell. Glutathione, not only prevent DNA mutation, it can also repair damages to DNA. Without sufficient level of glutathione in the cells, other antioxidants will not function correctly.

(2) Another cause that science have recently discovered, for prostate cancer is a glutatione enzyme deficiencies. Or another finding links the loss of glutathione activity to prostate cancer. The function of a particular glutatione enzyme - glutathione -s- tranferase Pi-i (GSTTPi) -.

7. What are the Possible Therapeutic Possibilities in Connection with Glutathione?
Ans: (1) Enhancing the production of Glutathione builds the Immune System against Cancer. Glutathione has been termed the ‘fuel’ for the immune system. It facilitates and regulates the growth, the replication and the function of the all immune cells, which are often heavily damaged by the 'Friendly Fire' of anticancer treatment. It raises the immune system's capacity to fight the cancer directly (i.e. Immunotherapy,a way to repair and enhance the immune system natural ability to fight cancer at the cellular level).

(2) Also,enhancing Glutathione in the cells Improve tolerance to Chemo and Radiation therapy.This lead to fewer side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, hair loss and even leukemia (loss of white blood cells) that normally occurs during these anticancer treatment.

How to enhance Glutathione level in the cells
The fact is, you cannot eat or ingest Glutathione in order to feed it to your cells. Glutathione must be manufactured naturally within your cells. The best is to help this natural process by giving your body the building block it needs. The reason why Glutathione level can be low or missing is due to insufficient availability of a protein called Cysteine. The only proven to be safe, effective and dependable way to raise and sustain the production of Glutathione level is by delivering Cysteine protein into the cells. For now, this can only be achieved without adverse reaction by using a product trade name Immunocal.
