For most of human history, we effortlessly consumed (nose-to-tail) the things we needed for strength, health and happiness. Like the fertile ground that we once walked upon, we were a natural extension of this earth. In the modern world, we unknowingly struggle to fulfill our nutritional needs in order to support and sustain a vibrant, disease-free life. We are now part of a world where our strength, our health and our happiness are not wholly ours anymore... but it doesn't have to be that way!
Dr. Royal Lee, and other early nutritional pioneers, believed the degenerative processes of a specific organ / gland could be reversed by ingesting the corresponding raw materials specific to that organ / gland.
Our Grass Fed Prostate (with liver) is a whole food dietary supplement that provides bovine prostate with the ultimate superfood — liver. Liver fills nutrition gaps more completely than any other food. This supplement can be taken with (or) without food (even though it technically is food). The suggested use is 6 capsules a day or as directed by a healthcare professional — for added support, the dose can be doubled. If consuming more than six capsules at once, the doses should be separated by at least three hours to improve tolerability.
For customers that are highly sensitive to supplements and/or have an autoimmune and/or methylation SNPs, I suggest that you "play it safe" by introducing just one new capsule per week. In other words, just 1 capsule of Prostate during the 1st week... 2 capsules during the 2nd week... 3 capsules during the 3rd week and so on... yes, this will take some time to reach the suggested dosages but this greatly helps to ensure tolerability of this deep nourishment so that it has a chance to do good.
The human organism is superbly adapted to an environment that no longer exists. Our modern world is totally inappropriate for the bodies we inhabit today. The vast majority of our health and happiness problems result from this mismatch. The solution is to find ways to recreate our ancestral environment in the modern world. You can see exactly how I've done this for my own tribe here. The information presented below is meant to provide you, descendant of the sole surviving species of genus Homo (the baddest mammalian predators that ever lived) insights to reclaim your strength, health and happiness in the modern world.
It's easy to see why so many kids and adults alike are walking around like zombies... low energy... sickly... brain fog... unhappy. The nourishing wisdom that allowed our early ancestors to live a vibrant, disease-free life has been tucked away for convenient, cheap, hyperpalatable food-like products that support big industry as opposed to our health. These products might appeal to taste, but they leave us hungry and stuffed because our bodies are still starving for true whole-food nourishment... the nourishment that's required for the health and healing of all of our organs / glands.
Look to liver for real, preformed vitamin A (retinol). If you're not consuming liver (or) desiccated liver, you're probably deficient... this is a fact. Retinol, and vitamin A derivatives, influence proper cell differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis (programmed cell death for cells that are misbehaving). Real retinol is obtained from animal foods (most notably, liver) in contrast to the beta carotene varieties that poorly convert to this wonder vitamin. Obtaining the recommended Daily Value (RDV) of real vitamin A is fundamental for various biological functions, including dental health, embryonic development, tissue integrity and immune regulation.
Eat like our early ancestor did... eat liver or a take our Grass Fed Liver and/or Prostate supplement on a regular basis.
Get sensible sun exposure... or, consider a vitamin D3 supplement. Being deficient in this vitamin increases the risk of death and cancer just about as much as smoking cigarettes. According to Michael Holick, M.D., Ph.D., avoiding sun exposure to prevent skin cancer resulted in such a drop in vitamin D levels that for every life saved from skin cancer, 55 women died from breast cancer and 60 men died from prostate cancer. While this assertion is considered controversial, the research on vitamin D is not... it is clear that vitamin D deficiency dramatically increases risk of many cancers.
A four-year placebo-controlled study that investigated the effects of 1,100 IU vitamin D3 and/or 1,400 mg calcium on cancer risk in 1,179 postmenopausal women over age 55 showed that vitamin D supplementation produced a dramatic 60% drop in the risk of developing any form of cancer. I don't believe that to be an adequate dose of vitamin D but it's a massive step in the right direction.
Live like our early ancestors did... get sensible sunshine or take a vitamin D3 supplement (along with the other fat soluble vitamins A&K).
Eat your fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut and natto... or, consider a vitamin K complex supplement. Studies of combination therapies have now provided strong evidence favoring vitamin K2 both in liver and prostate cancer. A group of US urologists studied the combination of vitamin K3, 50 mg per day, plus vitamin C at 5,000 mg per day in treating prostate cancer patients who had failed standard therapy. They showed that treatment significantly decreased the speed of rise in PSA, the serum marker of disease, while increasing the time it took for PSA levels to double.
Eat like our early ancestors did... eat fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut and natto or take a vitamin K2 complex supplement.
Again, liver reigns supreme here providing 13.6 mcg (230% DV) of vitamin B12 per serving (6 capsules of our Grassfed Beef Liver). Vitamin B12 protects your prostate... that's because it helps to minimize chromosomal breakage, reducing the risk of prostate cancer. Vitamin B12, as well as other B vitamins, are essential for optimal methylation which greatly influences the expression of genes, also known as epigenetics. The B vitamins also provide the required cofactors to regulate healthy gene expression.
The recurring theme here is liver but oysters and sardines will do too. Iron is essential for all cells but too little or too much could be potentially hazardous. This is mostly due to iron participation in oxidation-reduction reactions. The key is consume just the right amount... not too much, not too little. With that said, look to real nourishing foods like liver that provide a modest amount of heme iron (just 1 to 2 mg of iron per ounce which is about the same for a 6 capsule serving). On the other hand, if one needs a lot more heme iron in the diet, look no further than the ultimate blood builder — Spleen. This has 5 X's more heme iron than liver and supports immune and digestive health too.
Sea vegetables. Consider organic kelp granules to add in bone broth soup, sprinkle over salad or as a seasoning to all dishes. Clinical research has demonstrated that a sufficient intake of iodine can enhance breast and prostate health.* According to James Howenstine, MD, iodine deficiency is a recognized risk factor in the development of cancer of the breast and prostate.
Eat like our early ancestors did... consume iodine rich foods such as kelp granules, wild caught fish and eggs from pastured, organic chickens.
It's virtually impossible to get enough magnesium from diet alone. Look for a transdermal magnesium oil. Apply to feet before bedtime and go to sleep. The prostate should be maintained with the most important mineral for muscle health... that's magnesium! The majority of the population is deficient in magnesium and the proactive potential of supplementing magnesium extends far beyond prostate health (think heart health, and magnesium shortage is also a primary root cause of high blood pressure, stroke and GERD). Magnesium deficiency is almost as common as the widespread shortages of zinc and selenium. It's estimated that 80% of us require more of this mineral.
Signs of deficiency include tension, heart irregularities, cramps, insomnia, seizures and high blood pressure. The problem with an advanced magnesium deficiency, which is typically evidenced by cramps, is that the stomach lining loses some of its capacity to absorb magnesium. In this instance, oral supplementation can be ineffective. Transdermal magnesium supplementation is an effective way to deliver magnesium directly through the skin.
Consume magnesium rich foods and apply transdermal magnesium oil to feet before bed.
Wear UVEX safety goggles/glasses at least 2 hours before going to bed... this one is seriously a big deal. They cost $10 and they make all the difference. If you're not going to do anything else, do this!
If you're like most people reading this right now, there's little that you wouldn't do to reclaim these virtues. Turn off Netflix and start prioritizing your sleep! It's the single most influential thing you can do today (as in right now) to support your health journey. No, you don't have to go all in and start sleeping on the floor but you do have to do everything else.
Sleep like our early ancestors did... at least spend the $10 on the UVEX glasses to boost melatonin. Go buy them... here's the link.
Avoid danger like our ancestors did (think lions, well-done or charbroiled meat, processed meat, pesticides, heavy metals, food additives, trans fats, sugars, fluoride, excessive wifi, emfs, vaccines, non-native water, plastics, non-native clothing, non-native bedding, non-native eating and drinking containers, flame retardants, etc). Avoiding and limiting well-done and processed meats, milk and heavy metals is a start. If you want to support your body's ability to optimally heal and be healthy, avoid these dangers and all other non-native compounds.
Avoid dangers like our early ancestors did... think lions, well-done and processed meats, pesticides and all non-native compounds.
According to experts on the impact of the environment and diet on fetal development, we now live in an environment that can be viewed as "a virtual sea of estrogens." Increased exposure to environmental estrogens and other environmental pollutants during fetal development, as well as during the reproductive years, is suggested as a major reason for the tremendous rise in disorders of development and function of the male sexual system. The following are common strong estrogenic compounds that greatly contribute to estrogen dominance... commercially-raised meat and dairy products, insecticide or pesticide residues, tap water, conventional toiletries (shampoos, lotions, soaps, toothpastes, cosmetics and other personal care products), soft plastics, artificial food additives and of course, soy.

While autophagy – the process by which cells "clean up" cellular "garbage" – has a complex relationship with cancer, it's generally a positive process that protects cells from excessive oxidative stress. Fasting has been shown to induce "profound" neuronal autophagy, as well as general autophagy.
Take Away - Eat (and don't eat)... just like our early ancestors did.
What you do with your body is just as important as what you put into it... in maintaining a "healthy level of movement," one develops a healthy approach to consumption, where instincts become far more identifiable and beneficial. The well-being that builds from balanced movement trumps the need for consumption based satisfaction, such as food, pain killers, alcohol, drugs etc. Don't believe me... try it! Try moving more... I'm not asking you to put forth much effort here. I'm just asking you to put one foot in front of the other. Get 10,000 steps a day (or) walk for 60 to 90 minutes.
Take Away - Move like our early ancestors did... aim to walk 90 minutes a day in divided doses.
It's not hard to see why liver is considered a nutritional powerhouse and included in our Grassfed Prostate supplement — liver fills nutrition gaps more completely than any other food. A whole food, nutrient dense diet provides the nourishment we need in order to express the strongest and healthiest version of ourselves... Food and ancestral living forms the basis of our health.
Our biology is truly remarkable as it relates to our ability to heal... we just need to create the right environment for healing to take place. Bruce Lipton's work regarding The Biology Of Belief demonstrates that we are indeed the architects of our experience. We can, and we do, create cell signals (perceptions) with our thoughts. So stay positive... think about the wonderful things in your life that you're grateful for... eat like our early ancestors did... get sensible sun exposure... move around like our ancestors did... sleep like our early ancestors did... mind your magnesium... and breathe like Wim Hof.
And yes, of course exercise is wonderful for us (because it's hormetic)... fasting is amazing for us (because it's hormetic)... cold and heat exposures (environmental conditioning) are incredible for us (because it's hormetic)... but these all require us to get uncomfortable. Just remember that comfort is not good for the organism. Push yourself a little to love yourself a lot.
Not all organs and glands are the same. Look for the highest quality bovine prostate... It should come from pasture-raised, grass-fed and grass-finished animals that are hormone, pesticide and GMO free. If considering a supplement, look for one that is ultra pure (without binders, fillers (or) flow agents) and look for the freeze dried variety as these have been shown to optimally preserve nutritional factors, growth factors and co-factors.
NOTE: Bovine prostate can be found on the market by various names: prostate PMG, bovine prostate extract, prostate glandular, etc, ect.
