Today I’m going to reveal and dispel one of the biggest myths about prostate problems – that high testosterone causes it.
In fact, the opposite is true — LOW testosterone is the REAL health risk in prostate problems.
So today you’ll discover the REAL cause of prostate problems.
So if you’re a man (or you KNOW of a man – brother, son, husband, etc.) over the age of 30 and certainly in your 40’s and beyond, please listen carefully.
The Start Of This Myth
Now, before I start with the facts, let me first tell how this entire myth first got started.
As men age, there’s an increase in BPH – which stands for “benign prostatic hyperplasia”. Which starts as age-associated growth of the prostate gland.
This typically causes urination problems and erectile issues.
However, there’s also hormone-related BPH, which can cause prostate growth.
And there are two simple ways doctors will test for this. Checking your PSA levels (Prostate-specific antigen) in a blood test and/or doing a prostate exam.
Medical Castration
Now, for decades scientists have given men with prostate cancer, anti-androgen drugs such as Flutamide.1,2
Basically, these types of drugs are forms of “medical castration”.
They completely turn OFF your testicles from producing any hormones, which are primarily testosterone for men.
The end result was a regression in prostate problems and a decrease in BPH.1,2 Unfortunately, a man is no longer a “man”.
Depression, Impotence, Muscle Loss & More…
Having no testosterone causes him to be depressed, have no sex drive, lose muscle and strength, have higher belly fat, have higher levels of cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, etc., etc.
All problems related to “low testosterone”. However, if you no longer have cancer, I guess these problems are okay and you’ll “tolerate” life.
Unfortunately, this thought process was and is completely wrong.
High Testosterone & Young Men
You see, if “high testosterone” was the real cause of prostate problems, then all guys in their teenage years and 20’s, would have issues because this is the time when a man’s testosterone is the highest.
Yet, guys have no prostate problems during these years … right?
The TRUTH is that as a man ages, AND his testosterone is dropping, is when he starts having prostate problems.
The REAL Cause Of Prostate Cancer…
Recent research reveals the cause of this is an imbalance of hormones, which is high estrogen, resulting in lowered testosterone.4
And THIS is why taking these horrible “anti-androgen” drugs worked.
They completely block all the testosterone in your body and thus, there was nothing to convert to estrogen and the result was yes, less testosterone… and thus, the thought process that “testosterone causes prostate problems”
However, having no testosterone also, LOWERS estrogens and THAT was the REAL reason these drugs worked.
How To Avoid & Fix Prostate Cancer
In fact, increasing your testosterone levels while also decreasing your estrogens and other “negative” hormones such as DHT, prolactin, and cortisol…
is the REAL HELP for prostate problems!
And that’s the REAL secret – the optimal balance between these hormones.
You want the same ratio and levels of hormones that you did in your 20s when you were the HEALTHIEST!
My Family History Of Prostate Problems
For decades I’ve been saying this because I have prostate problems in my family.
And now, there are multiple studies backing everything up.
In fact, one study included 18 total studies involving almost 20,000 men and it showed that increasing testosterone helped protect against prostate problems.
Summary & Bottom Line
So the bottom line is that:
- if you want to live a healthier and longer life
- if you want to decrease your risk of prostate problems
- and also increase your libido…
Then you want to actually INCREASE your testosterone levels and decrease your “negative” hormones such as female (estrogens, prolactin, etc.) and stress hormones (cortisol).
The good news is that it’s easy to do this now and you can do it naturally. Copy the proven formula and use it for yourself…
