I feel great but here is my question&#8230;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Some prostate cancer formulas (e.g. prosticaid) contain vitamin C and selenium which appear to be a no-no for integration with paw paw.

C 500 mg. \/day or less, nor with the recommended daily dosage, 50mcg. Selenium. Very high dosages of some anti-oxidants will interfere with the ATP inhibitory action of Paw Paw, which is why they are counter-indicated. We realize\u00a0 some websites list others, but often do not provide research to back their statements. Our proof is from our successes with clients.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>A supporting product that many men use with Prostate Cancer is <strong>Saw Palmetto (<em>Serenoa repens<\/em>)Concentrate <\/strong>, which has no Vit. C, Selenium or other counter-indicated actions with Paw Paw, yet offers excellent nutrition\u00a0 for the prostate. Many men over 40 years of age also use <strong>Men&#8217;s Formula,<\/strong> which also contains <strong>Gingko and Nettle,<\/strong> for ongoing prostate support and prevention.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>If you do not already have it,<strong> Lorene Benoit&#8217;s book:<em> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalpathremedies.com\/blog\/natural-solutions-for-cancer-the-paw-paw-program\/\">The Paw Paw Program &#8211; A &#8220;Christopher Columbus&#8221; Approach to Cancer &#8211; The World IS Round and Cancer CAN Be Treated Naturally<\/a><\/em><\/strong> contains many answers and explanations at to why the program works, as well as case studies, research, recipes and more.
