It has long been the sacred belief amongst doctors, that testosterone somehow makes prostate cancer worse.

Medical theory is that higher testosterone levels promote prostate cancer.

However, the evidence is never supported this.

For example, men are more likely to get prostate cancer as they get older.

But as men get older, their testosterone often drops.

So why does why do men get more prostate cancer when their testosterone rates are lower?

Never made much sense.

And yet how many millions of men have been put on all kinds of therapies, known as chemical castration?

All in order to control prostate cancer.

In fact, I know a lot of men who are on my newsletter subscription list are on chemical castration programs.

And if you’re taking finasteride, otherwise known as Proscar or Propecia, then you are unknowingly participating in chemical castration.

But that’s another story.

Let’s look at this study that came out.  And let me give you a hint.

The more boring the title, the more important the study, usually.

Often times controversial studies are so embarrassing and bad for the career of the researcher doing it, that the researcher will bury the conclusions by almost contradicting it in the title, or even just making the title some boring.

I think this is one such study that is so controversial, the researchers wanted to make it seem boring:

The study is simple.

As you probably know, many men are discovered to have prostate cancer, which is usually very slow growing, but most doctors will quite rightly try to convince their patients to go on what is called active surveillance.

Or what they used to call watchful waiting.

That means that they continue to routinely ask the patient to come in and get some sort of test to make sure that the tumor hasn’t grown or changed since the last office visit.

So they did this active surveillance thing with about 140 men who participated in the study.

And they pretty clearly found that the lower your testosterone levels, the more likely you were to need treatment.

That is to go from active surveillance to actually needing active treatment.

In other words, lower testosterone means that you’re more likely to have bad prostate cancer rather than “less bad” prostate cancer.

Men with free testosterone levels <0.45 ng/dL had a higher rate of disease reclassification …associated with a several-fold increase in the risk of disease reclassification

The number that you might be used to in the United States would be 450.

Under 450 is pretty low testosterone, although many doctors will consider it in the “normal” range.

But under 450 had a several-fold increase in the risk of the prostate cancer becoming bad.

This does not mean however, that if you raise your testosterone level with testosterone replacement therapy, your risk of the cancer getting worse improves.

Getting more testosterone in your body may or may not improve the outcome of prostate cancer.

But the fact is, it seems that having lower testosterone definitely makes it much worse in terms of the cancer getting worse and require treatment.

What you need to do now.

I would certainly try to maintain a high testosterone level naturally, without testosterone replacement therapy, using a combination of nutrition and diet.

And this study shows that even if I have prostate cancer, I probably won’t require any treatment, and I will live a long and full life, so long as I keep my testosterone levels up.

Higher testosterone indicates better health for men.

And I think this is the reason that lower testosterone corresponds to a higher risk of bad prostate cancer.

The study doesn’t really indicate why lower testosterone correlates with worse cancer outcomes.

But it shows that it does.

Low testosterone correlates with worse prostate cancer outcomes.

Although historically it has been believed that high testosterone levels were a risk for prostate cancer, most recent studies provide evidence that low, not high, testosterone values are associated with worrisome prostate cancer features, including high Gleason score,which is the most common cause of progression in men on active surveillance.

So my question to you is this.

What else is your doctor wrong about?

I believe that your doctor is wrong about treating prostate cancer aggressively at all.

Almost all prostate cancer will be just fine if you leave it alone, and only a small percentage will actually get a lot worse.

Actively treating prostate cancer makes very little sense for almost all men except for young men.

There’s nothing that is more shameful than how prostate cancer is over treated today resulting in so many men being impotent, and having a lifetime of penis problems that they don’t need to have.

It’s a shame.

The doctors and the medical advice that said that testosterone was bad for prostate cancer were completely wrong.

I think they’re completely wrong about how prostate cancer is treated at all.
