There is evidence that many of the compounds contained in blueberries are able to fight prostate cancer at all stages of the disease, from initiation to proliferation.

An Ohio State University study published in 2009 found that blueberries shrunk the size of prostate tumors and significantly improved survival rates in an animal research project. Mice with blood vessel tumors that were fed blueberry extract lived twice as long as mice that weren’t given blueberries. In addition, the tumors in the mice fed blueberries were 60 percent smaller than the other group.

Sterol compounds (a type of steroid subgroup composed of steroid alcohols) and anthocyanin (which give the blueberry its color) along with other antioxidant activity that fights against free radical damage to cells and tissues have shown some promise of having powerful anti-cancer effects along with other health benefits. Most of the research has been done on cancer cells affecting the prostate and liver although there’s some evidence that the compounds are effective on colon cancer as well. In addition, the substances in wild blueberries appear to have a beneficial effect on cholesterol and urinary tract tissues.

Blueberries are packed with antioxidants that have been shown to fight cancer. Studies have shown that ellagic acid, which is found in blueberries, may prevent the formation of tumors. Also, blueberries contain the compound, pterostilbene, which has been shown to decrease the risk of pre-cancerous growths in the colon. More studies are being conducted to better understand the cancer-fighting properties of blueberries.

The healing properties of Blueberries are found mainly in wild blueberries

Wild Blueberries contain more of the powerful antioxidant anthocyanin and demonstrate greater antioxidant capacity per serving than cultivated blueberries.

Wild Blueberries deliver a potent antioxidant punch — in fact they have the highest antioxidant capacity per serving, compared with more than 20 other fruits. Using a lab testing procedure called Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC), USDA researcher Ronald Prior, Ph.D., found that a one-cup serving of Wild Blueberries had more total antioxidant capacity (TAC) than a serving of cranberries,

Cancer research at the University of Illinois by Dr. Mary Ann Smith and Dr. Keith Singletary shows another flavonoid component in wild blueberries inhibits an enzyme involved in the promotion stage of prostate cancer. The researchers applied extracts from wild blueberries, cultivated blueberries and European bilberries to living cells at various stages in the development of cancer. Wild blueberries exhibited some of the greatest anti-cancer activity of all the berries examined.

Where can you buy wild blueberries?

Wild Blueberries are available year-round. You can buy them at your local supermarket in frozen, canned, jarred, dried and fresh forms.

A highly recommended concentrated blueberry product is Dr Red Blueberry Punch.

University of Sydney researcher Dr Jas Singh and his team have tested a punch loaded with anti-oxidants that effectively killed five different cancer cells in mice.

Dr Red Blueberry Punch, an all-natural fruit juice concentrate, has already showed exciting results in shrinking prostate cancer tumors in laboratory trials carried out at Sydney University. Now the company has gained ethics approval to begin large-scale human trials.

Based on the most powerful fat soluble antioxidants, Dr. Red Blueberry Punch is already creating much excitement in Australia where it is produced. Using raw materials like turmeric, citrus and olive leaf as well as blueberries.

University of Sydney testing shows that Blueberry Punch is in a class of its own for antioxidant power. Featured in two separate articles in the Daily Mail, Dr Red Blueberry Punch is an evidence based, antioxidant enriched, blueberry concentrate.

The blueberry, grape, raspberry and elderberry cordial rapidly slashes the size of prostate tumors, research shows.

Trials are now planned to see whether a daily glass or two of the drink could treat the disease and even prevent it developing in the first place.

Prostate cancer trials undertaken at the University of Sydney have provided exciting results with reductions of up to 25 per cent of tumor growth in mouse models.

Researchers claimed that Dr Red’s Blueberry Punch dramatically reduced prostate, breast, bladder, colon and stomach cancer cells after just two weeks of treatment in mice.

In tests, Blueberry Punch cut the size of prostate tumors by a quarter in two weeks.

The Sydney University team studied the effect of the beverage on both prostate cancer cell cultures and mouse models that mimic human prostate cancer with results published [online in the current issue of journal of the American Association of Cancer Research.]

‘After 72 hours exposure to increasing concentrations of Blueberry Punch, prostate cancer cells showed a dose dependent reduction in size and viability when compared with untreated cells,’ said Dr Sing. ‘After feeding mice a 10 per cent solution of the punch for two weeks, we found the tumors in these mice were 25 per cent small than those found in mice that only drank tap water,’ he said.

Blueberry Punch, produced in Australia, is made from blueberry, red grape, elderberry and raspberry fruit concentrates. citrus skin extracts, green tea extract, olive leaf/olive pulp extracts, grape seed extract, grape skin extract, tarragon, turmeric and ginger.

Previous studies carried out by Dr Jas Singh and Dr Q Dong at Sydney University showed that mice fed with a 10% solution of the punch (a phytochemical cocktail) for two weeks were observed to have tumors that were 25% smaller than those fed with tap water. In fact, just after 72 hours of increasing concentrations of Blueberry Punch, prostate cancer cells showed a “dose dependent reduction in size and viability when compared to untreated cells.

Greg Jardine, the drink’s inventor, said the results were comparable to drugs used to treat prostate cancer.

Successful human trials would give the punch ‘more credibility within the medical and scientific communities’, he said, adding: “We would like it to be considered in the same league as a drug.”

Common-sense tip:

This product is highly advisable for any man who is already suffering from prostate cancer or anybody who is at risk for prostate cancer.

Yes, the truth is that at the moment there are no human clinical trials, and no, this product may not ‘cure” your prostate cancer, but in most defiantly cannot hurt. Using this product can only benefit you and carries absolutely no risk whatsoever.
