Prostate cancer and Dr. Weil

[charleslong]

Check out this article by Dr. Weil on prostate cancer. He says that its hormone driven (correct) and that it's driven by testosterone (incorrect). I don't know where he gets his info but it's not from the same sources from which Ori gets his. I think I'll stick with Ori on this one.

I dont think its any one particular hormone, its due to hormone inbalance.

It's due to excess estrogen and not enough testosterone. If it was testosterone driven, then it would be a young man's problem. But prostate cancer mainly afflicts older men with declining testosterone levels and highly elevated estrogen levels. What Dr. Weil said makes no sense whatsoever.

Charles, you hit the nail on the head with that statement - you are exactly right.  Ori wrote that very thing in his Prostate Relief E-Guide.
