Prostate Cancer. Side effect of hormone treatment is severe hot flushes. Anyone know of some way to ease them?

All the commononly reccommended treatments have been tried - sage in various forms, all the "womens' ailments remedies" including Evening Primrose . . .

All without any real easing of the severe discomfort experienced as often as four or five times an hour. Any really helpful suggestions would be most welcome. Thanks a lot.

I believe that the problem with the meducal industry us that they traet symptoms, and not cause.

I also believe that cancer is a whole body thing, and should be treated as such.

So, cleaning out the rest of the body will help solve the problems with the prostate.



If I was you, I would go through complete cleansing procedures for liver, kidney, gall bladder, and colon.

This the gives the body the strength to fight back and heal itself.

Reply:I can't agree this as best answer. Conventional medicine and surgery has kept me going and I am now 83+. I believe reliance on alternative medicine would have resulted in my demise years ago - do you believe in God as well ?

Reply:I would be very wary about taking any herbal supplement. Some of these herbs are effective in women going through menopause due to weak estrogen like activity. Prostate cancer is hormone sensitive (hence anti-androgen hormone treatment) - please check with both a good pharmacist and your consultant.



Sorry, can't really think of cure for hot flushes. Obviously wear loose clothing to physically cool yourself. Generous application of full body moisturiser and frequent use of emollient in luke warm bath will hydrate skin and feel cooling.
Reply:I tried everything - the only relief I get (and please don't laugh) is to put my hands under the cold tap for a few minutes.

Good luck with the treatment
