One way of phrasing the question we posed about 10-years ago was: What could happen when essential nutrition for cell membrane integrity and healthy cell reproduction was returned to the diet through supplementation? This is a quintessential naturopathic nutritional intervention. This was based on more casual observations of improvement in PCa in men following a rigorous program of lifestyle and dietary change. From another realm, it was observed that CoQ10 was proving more efficacious for PCa in subjects who were also eating beta-sitosterol (B-Sit) rich foods, however, this was based primarily on change in PSA (prostate specific antigen) and not direct examination of the prostate.⁷ After reviewing diets of populations with extremely low cancer, cardiovascular, and hypertension rates, a high-B-Sit based supplement was produced, with antioxidants derived from these same diets. The combination provides nutrition that is integral to cell membrane health and a healthy cell environment. Combining the B-Sit/AOX formulation with appropriate CoQ10, and a highly-rated multi-supplement with a high vitamin B Complex, became the basis for ProActive intervention. With this, watchful waiting became ProActive Monitoring.

The 3-D color power Doppler sonogram provides a means to track changes and progress in the condition of the prostate and PCa. By correlating the 3-D exam with state-of-the-art DCE-MRI grading of the cancer, Dr. Bard was able to both evaluate procedures for optimal timing of re-exam, and provide feedback for modification of an individual’s nutrition program, and in increasingly rare circumstances, recommendations for procedures such as HIFU (high-intensity focused ultrasound). Routine feedback also gave the information needed to further develop the core protocol, based primarily on changes in prostate size, tumor size, location and density, vascularity, and capsule integrity.
