There is new research that soy based medicine can increase the life expectancy of prostate cancer patients by dramatically slowing down the spread of cancer cells throughout the rest of the body. This is fantastic news because soy based medicine is non toxic. Older men generally are the ones getting prostate cancer, and slowing the spread of the cancer cells basically reduces the condition to a chronic illness. If the cancer was always contained in the prostate gland, death would by no means be imminent. This is essentially saying it can slow down or stop the cancer cells from metastasizing. This new drug was tested in animals first and is now being used in humans. This has great potential implications for other types of cancers as well.
Many experts in the field are hoping to reduce this problem to a chronic illness. If that can happen, expect life expectancies to increase in a major way. There are other interesting drugs that could prolong a life span in the pipeline. I’ll let you know when they become available.
