Revealed! The breakthrough molecule that could reverse prostate cancer!
You’ve probably heard about a new drug called Panzem. It’s the pharmaceutical industry’s attempt to make bio-identical hormones.
They’ve spent hundreds of millions trying to get FDA approval. But if you read between the lines Panzem’s real name is 2-methoxyestradiol.
Why?
Because it may be able to reverse or at least slow,many types of cancer.Particularly the most common forms like: Prostate, breast and ovarian.
It works like this, estrogens and androgens are steroid hormones. Your ovaries or testes, adrenal cortices and other tissues produce these natural steroids. But too much of them will increase your risk of cancer.
However, as it turns out, 2-methoxyestradiol is a potent anti-cancer form of oestrogen. In fact, new research shows it stops the growth of prostate cancer cells by inducing damaged cell suicide. It also slows down tumor growth and reduces the amount of chemotherapy needed.
And to top this off, it could help stop the spread of cancer to other parts of the body. Researchers have seen similar results in many other kinds of cancer: Breast, osteosarcoma, leukemia and chondrosarcoma.
In the meantime, though, you can increase your body’s own 2-methoxyestradiol levels.
The process that produces 2-methoxyestrdiol from oestrogen is called methylation. Methylation relies on certain molecules (methyl donors) to function properly.
If you supply your body with enough of these molecules you’ll raise your 2-methyoxyestradiol levels.
These foods contain the most methyl donor molecules you’ll need to do this:
• Green leafy vegetables,
• Legumes,
• Citrus,
• Berries,
• And nuts.
It’s very important to process these foods as little as possible before you eat them. That includes heating and freezing. Keep these foods as fresh and raw as possible. This will preserve the methyl donor molecules they contain.
There are also some supplements you can take that supply methyl groups (click the link below for product info):
• S-adenosylmethionine (SAMe), more info..
• Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), more info..
• Betaine (including the betaine from betaine hydrochloride), more info..
• And methylcobalamin (a form of vitamin B12), more info.
If a 24-hour urine test reveals that your levels of 2-methoxyestradiol are low, eat more of the foods listed above. And check with a physician skilled and knowledgeable in bio-identical hormone replacement therapy about how much of these supplements to take. And on a non-supplemental note: Stress reduces methylation. So meditation, biofeedback and other stress reducing techniques can help you make more 2-methoxyestradiol and reduce your risk of cancer too.

The Prostate Cancer foundation in Canada was founded in 1994 by a prostate cancer patient called Ron Evason. In the past, prostate cancer did not get the media coverage, public awareness and research funding that it does now, so the foundation was set up primarily to find high quality prostate cancer research . The research funded aims to find out more about the causes of the cancer, possible cures and how to prevent it in the first place.
