A few ideas on prostate cancer, now said to be the leading cancer in males.
.
1640s, from Middle French prostate, from Medieval Latin prostata "the prostate," from Greek prostates (aden) "prostate (gland)," from prostates "leader, ruler, guardian; one standing in front," from proistanai "set before," from pro "before" (from PIE root *per- (1) "forward," hence "in front of, before") + histanai "cause to stand," from PIE root *sta- "to stand, make or be firm."

An article in universallighthous.wixsite tells us that Scientists are drifting into psychology nowadays. Not before time though. "Russian Scientists Prove DNA Can Be Reprogrammed by just our Words and other outside Frequencies".
.
I believe that words are very important, and also the intent with which they are uttered. My friend, with strong emotion, was used to making the remark, "They're a pain in the arse", he developed haemorrhoids which later became cancerous and killed him.
.
Be careful which words you use.
.
Until very recently, it has been thought by gross-materially oriented scientists that the psyche plays no part whatever in the makeup of our bodies, "we're at the mercy of a blind fortuitous circumstance over which we have no control" has been the credo behind their thought. But we know, don't we, that science is the history of exploded hypotheses?

If it were just 'an age thing' then all men would get it, etc.
.
With the prostate, not by coincidence are the organs of our body so named. They each have a function closely associated with what goes on in the mind, with which deep feeling has named them.
.
So looking at the above definition, it can be said that age can indeed take away a man's sense of guardianship, of dignity, of self-rule, and the change that comes about in many men who surrender these things affects their pro-stating.
.
.
It can, but not necessarily.
.
It's as though the dominant matriarchy felt by many men, and a nanny state with its recommendations on living and medicating, such as the one here in the UK, affect the man's inability to cope with it, resulting in such a disease.
.
If this is so, the man who's afflicted can't put the blame on external factors, only on his inability to deal with the stimuli he's given.
.
Anyone who's read Thorwald Dethlefsen's "Healing Power of Illness" will have come across ideas such as these.

Happiness is an inside job.
