Exercise as a Prostate Cancer treatment

Re: Delay and reverse prostate cancer development?
I know little about this, but at first blush, I’m skeptical. The exercise I engaged in was voluminous. I got prostate cancer nevertheless. I’ll still keep on exercising for general health, but I’m not expecting a cancer breakthrough. I’ve tried hokey-pokey alternative treatments before. I’ll stick with traditional medicine for now.

After listening to the exercise oncologist Dr. Newton, I now understand this exercise therapy is adjunctive to traditional treatments, not a substitute. He made no outlandish claims of reversing or curing. As far as living longer he cautioned that was not studied p/determined in his research. The benefits of exercising is to amplify the immune response, slow down progression, Tolerate treatment better and to improve the quality of life. I’ve been a gyn rat from way back and this gives extra impetus to continue.

He spent a lot of time working with people that had advanced cases and had become pretty indolent.
He got them exercising, and it did seem to extend their lives. He never promised that you wouldn’t get prostate cancer if you exercised. One in eight men get it, Sometimes it’s genetic other times it could be due to diet or environmental issues. A plant based diet can reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
