00:01 The following program presents principles
00:03 designed to promote good health and is not 00:05 intended to take the place of personalized 00:07 professional care. The opinions and ideas 00:10 expressed are those of the speaker. 00:12 Viewers are encouraged to draw their own 00:14 conclusions about the information presented. 00:50 Hello, and welcome to Health for Lifetime. 00:51 I'm your host, Don Mackintosh. 00:52 Today, we're going to be talking about a topic 00:55 that's an important, but sometimes people shy 00:58 away from talking about it. It's prostate cancer. 01:02 And to talk with us about this important 01:04 subject is Dr. Williams. He is the Health Ministry 01:06 Director for the North American Division of 01:09 Seventh-Day Adventist, that sounds really big 01:11 and it is a big job. We are glad that you with 01:13 us today. Good to be here. 01:14 Now, you being to Health Ministries Director, 01:17 I mean, Adventist are known for keeping 01:19 the Sabbath many times, people know about that 01:21 from the Seventh-Day part. And, then also 01:24 they know about health and you're a in charge of 01:27 kind of training people and educating people 01:30 across the North American Division, what you said 01:32 as Bermuda, Canada, and United State. 01:35 That's right, that's right. 01:36 And, you do some health summits, I've been able 01:39 to work with you in one of those in 01:41 Orlando, I think at the beginning part of year. 01:43 In the last week in January and 01:45 first week in February . And, then out, in the 01:48 West Coast in Portland, when is that? 01:50 That's in October. And, then you're not 01:52 doing one into the North, you said in Montreal. 01:54 The first one will be in possibly July, 01:57 we're just now having Conference Calls on 01:59 that, when July of 2006. And, you know, if 02:02 you ever have questions about what's going on in 02:04 Health Ministries Department, they can 02:05 just go to the website and follow the marks to 02:08 the Health Ministries Department or plus 02:09 line. Plus line or NAD Health Ministries. 02:12 Okay, good and you know, just a lot of 02:15 opportunities, I see, you know, over almost 02:18 of thousands people last year trained in 02:20 helping people with many help things. 02:23 Exactly. Now, today's topic prostate cancer, 02:27 something that many times people 02:29 don't want to talk about or haven't, 02:30 but more tensions coming and understand you 02:33 kind have a personal testimony. Right. 02:35 I hadn't been known a lot about prostrate cancer, 02:38 up until 1997, and in 1997, I went to my 02:46 doctor for my annual check up, Umm! 02:49 which I usually do right around my 02:50 birthday. My Birthday is August 21st and, 02:53 I remember that. So, I've to send you 02:55 some. Send me a gift, okay, thank you. 02:56 Send me something I would say. 02:58 I went to my doctor, and you know, they 03:03 do, what we call it, DRE, the Digital 03:06 Rectal Exam. Not and the most 03:09 feared exam of any exam known to me. 03:11 It's a feared exam. Right. Well, I passed 03:13 that splendidly that, when I got finished 03:16 my doctor said, you, he said, you're in 03:18 good health, he says, nothing wrong with you 03:22 that I can see. And, then about, about 03:26 two weeks later, I got a call from him and 03:30 he said, I want you to come in my office, 03:31 he said, we want to do another blood test, 03:33 they do a blood test blood you know, they 03:35 we call it the PSA. PSA, the Prostate 03:38 Specific Antigen Test. PSA, they take the 03:41 blood and then look at it, he says your PSA 03:43 was high and to be truthful at that time, 03:46 I didn't know, what high was? Okay. 03:50 And, I said, what is high? He said, well 03:52 0-4 is normal, and anything above 4 03:58 is abnormal. I really didn't know 04:01 that, you know, there is a lot of ignorance 04:03 about this topic, even among men, and 04:06 some men called prostrate, prostrate, 04:11 I used to hear some of my friend say, 04:12 well prostrate, and you know, only 04:14 Angels fall prostrate before God. 04:17 But, right, they called it. 04:19 And at that time I didn't know a lot 04:21 about it. So, he said, your, your, your ER refill 04:24 feels normal, but your PSA is elevate, 04:28 and I think, it was something like 7. 04:30 And, he said, we want to take it again, 04:32 and took it again, and then he called 04:34 me back and said, if it go high, I want 04:35 you to go and get a biopsy. And, so they 04:38 did the biopsy and sure enough, he says we 04:42 see cancerous cells there and do we, 04:46 and so, I just can't believe it. 04:49 I said, doctor you've got me mixed up. 04:51 I'm the Director of Health Ministries for 04:53 the Seventh-Day Adventist Church 04:55 you know, I just ran a Marathon. 04:56 You know, I'm a vegetarian, I just, 04:58 I couldn't believe it, to be save in my life. 05:01 Umm! That I had prostate 05:04 cancer. Umm! I went home, I took 05:06 a shower, and I must been in the shower 05:09 until the water and cold. I couldn't believe 05:12 it, that I, as a man in fact I was ashamed. 05:14 Why would God allow me to have prostate cancer? 05:20 I just, I really, I didn't tell 05:23 anybody and my wife said, well you better 05:25 get a treat, you better do something. 05:26 So, finally I, I started calling around 05:30 and find an about Proton Beam and, in 05:33 at Loma Linda and but I didn't to tell 05:37 anybody. I was ashamed that I had prostate cancer. 05:40 And you don't want to do that, you want to 05:41 take care of it. We want to take care 05:42 of it, but I finally went over and told 05:44 would Rose Orisons, my Vice-President 05:46 that, that I had problem and that I needed to 05:49 go out tour to California, but as I say, 05:52 it's, it's, it's diagnosis that most 05:56 men don't want to hear. Umm! It's a diagnosis 05:59 that black men will hear a twices often 06:02 as white men have twice to read of, 06:07 of prostate cancer than white men and we don't 06:12 talk about it a lot, there is general 06:14 ignorance, a lot of secrecy, a lot of 06:16 you know, that deals with sex in the 06:19 Adventist Church or we're kind a quite 06:21 about it. We don't say, a lot 06:22 about AIDS and so forth, but it's serious. 06:25 You said, that there was a survey of hundred 06:28 man and 42% thought that women had a 06:29 prostate cancer. That's right, they had 06:32 a prostate, they didn't, they didn't know, 06:33 where it was, where is the prostate? 06:34 They didn't know, where it was? 06:37 They thought that women had, yes a prostate. 06:39 And, also the statistics you showed me that in 06:42 every three minutes someone is diagnosed 06:43 in United States with prostate cancer. 06:47 Cancer, in every twelve minutes, what 06:48 did you say? Somebody dies from it. 06:50 So, it's not something you must wrong with. 06:52 No, and over 232,000 cases were diagnosed 07:00 in 2005, and would be diagnosed and probably 07:04 more than 30,000 deaths. Now, it's actually coming 07:06 down little bit. Umm! It to was 07:08 highest in 40,000 in the 90s, but it's 07:12 coming down somewhat. People are becoming more 07:14 aware. That's right. Now, you, you have a 07:16 global perspective because for many years 07:17 you were also missioner, I think in Africa, 07:19 then, that's right, worked as a General 07:20 Conference before your responsibilities. Now, 07:22 is it a global problem? It's a global problem, 07:25 but it's more endemic to North America. 07:28 And to industrialized places. Places like, 07:32 Australia, and Canada, and United States, 07:34 Africans in Africa have less prostate cancer 07:39 than African-Americans. Why is that? 07:41 Well, it probably because of diet and exercise 07:45 habit and so for, we don't know, exactly, 07:46 but it's probably diet and lifestyle has a 07:51 lot to do with it. Japan, and Chinese and 07:54 Japanese, who live in Japan and China, 07:56 have less prostate cancer, but when they, 07:58 when they migrate over here to America. Umm! 08:01 And, then they have the same rates that the, 08:03 that the Americans have. So, it's. Kind of a 08:06 lifestyle thing. It's a lifestyle thing. 08:07 That's right. Now, and one other 08:08 things you talked about was there was a 08:10 connecting between prostate cancer and 08:12 Ultraviolet lights. That's right. 08:14 The more and more evidences showing that, 08:16 that Vitamin-D and Ultraviolet light 08:20 stimulates Vitamin-D in the Northern 08:24 Countries. Umm! And the like Scandinavia 08:27 you found a lot of prostate cancer. 08:29 In the United States, you go up the Minnesota 08:31 and. Michigan. Michigan and you go 08:35 down to Florida, you'll find less and you, 08:37 there are more old people living in Florida 08:41 you know, that's why the Snowbirds go 08:42 until for, and you would expected to be more 08:44 down there, but there is less prostate cancer 08:46 and States of Florida and along this. 08:48 And this, this is relationship between 08:50 that and the amount of sun, I guess like. 08:52 That's right, and man should go out in the 08:54 sun, at least 10 to 15 minutes. Black people 08:58 probably an hour, when we saying, white 09:01 going out in the sun 10 to 15 minutes, that's 09:04 for White people. Umm! But for Black 09:06 people, who have, who have pigment, 09:08 they have a pigment in their skin that blocks 09:10 the ultraviolet ray, they need to get a, 09:13 about an hour, and hour in 10, hour in 15 minutes 09:16 a day of ultraviolet light and you can see 09:19 why it's higher because we don't do it. 09:20 We've the same habits, we go down into our 09:23 cars and our garages and drive out to our 09:26 offices and go into our office you know, very 09:28 few of our people get an hour of sunlight 09:31 here in the United States. So, what's on 09:33 television maybe not, maybe 3ABN is okay, 09:36 but you get to, get outside, right? 09:38 That's right, you've to get outside. 09:39 And, we've lights here are these help us? 09:40 Well, it's these lights don't give you 09:43 ultraviolet light. As much as, okay. 09:45 So, when you'll get outside as well. 09:46 Ultraviolet light, which is highest at noon, 09:49 you know, noon and 12 'O' Clock, 1 'O' Clock 09:51 right around the earth, in the middle of the day 09:54 that's when you want to get your ultraviolet 09:55 light. So, what are some other factors that would 09:59 influence us in terms of getting prostate cancer? 10:03 Alcohol? Yes, alcohol has been shown to, 10:07 to raise prostate cancer high fat diet, of course 10:14 the biggest risk factor is age. If you get older 10:18 as you get older, you're going to have a greater 10:22 risk of prostate cancer. What about family 10:23 history? Family history, of course 10:25 and when I've, when I've, when I've talking to my 10:28 family, I find out that my father had prostate 10:30 cancer. I never know it. It was, I guess before 10:32 I was born, my elders brother has had prostate 10:34 cancer and I've two other brothers, who are younger 10:38 than I and I keep telling them make sure you get 10:40 sure regular examination. So, you want to get the 10:45 both of the examination, Do you want to get the 10:47 the DRE, the desktop finger and you want to 10:50 get the PSA because, when I got for these 10:53 my annual exam, the doctor told me that my 10:56 prostate felt alright, it was only the PSA, 11:00 blood test that was able to identify, then 11:04 the PSA is actually the more accurate way 11:08 that the of actually diagnosing a prostate 11:11 cancer. Doesn't matter what's I genetically and 11:14 mother side there father side that passes and I. 11:16 That's right, if you've somebody in your family 11:19 that has had, had prostate cancer, 11:21 if you've had a grandfather or father 11:26 or brother, you're pretty much certain that you're 11:31 going to have prostate cancer. Oh! Yeah. 11:33 By the time you get to age 80, you say almost 11:37 every man has had, has prostate cancer. Umm! 11:41 In some stage, and by that time you get the 11:43 90, 90% of all man 90 years of age have 11:47 prostate cancer. Some man go to their 11:49 grace with other diseases, but if you do 11:51 all types, you'll find out that the prostate 11:53 has cancer. Interesting thing, let's 11:55 talking to another guess that he told me 11:57 that Seventh-Day Adventist actually have 11:59 a very rate of prostate cancer. And, there are 12:02 several reasons, some people say, because we 12:03 live longer. Okay. And, other say, possibly 12:08 because many of our Adventist are lack to 12:12 over. Eating lot of daily 12:13 product. Daily product, so there is a link 12:15 between milk and cheese and even chocolate is 12:18 a product, can you get to get chocolate, 12:20 milk, there we age, age not so much as 12:23 cheese and milk. Well, I could see lot 12:25 of people are they, this kind a going Oh! No. 12:27 So, some of the risk factors you say that, 12:32 if you've no relatives with prostate cancer, 12:37 you still have a 13% risk. That's right, 12:40 that's right. But your grandfather 12:41 had it, you up to 20%. Well, my grandfather 12:45 had it and so my great grandfather, so what 12:48 would I be. Well, your grandfather 12:51 had it? And my great grandfather. 12:52 You better go and get your exam every year. 12:54 Alright, Oh! Maybe actually run right now. 12:57 Well, we say because it's a disease of age. Umm! 13:01 So, their first, they recommended to go 13:05 for your first time at 50. Umm! 13:07 For African-American, we say that you still 13:09 go at 40. Umm! I went at up 40. 13:11 You went at 40? Have the DRE and 13:14 I don't think you know, the PSA because it's 13:16 but. But you need to get both of them 13:18 because as I say, my doctor, when he felt my, 13:20 my prostate with, with a finger and said it, felt 13:24 good. Umm! But it was the PSA 13:26 as we need to get them both and I had one man 13:30 whose PSA was good, but when the doctor did the 13:34 DRE that's when he said, it doesn't feel 13:37 right? And he said, him to go and get more 13:38 treatment, so you got a get them both, every 13:40 year. So, even your uncle having it's 20% 13:42 risk that cousin 16% risk, one brother have 13:45 26%, two brothers as you say, 65% risk. 13:49 Because your brother has of it. 13:50 That's right. And, so my younger brother really 13:53 need to be on the alert. Grandfather, father and 13:58 brother. 100%. 100% risk. 100%, you're going, you 14:01 you got the genes, you got it in your blood 14:03 you know. We're talking with 14:05 Dr. William from the General Conference 14:07 or actually from the North American Division 14:09 of Seventh-Day Adventist, we're talking about 14:10 prostate cancer and we're going to talk about 14:13 what we can do to avoid it, maybe them 14:16 treated, I don't know exactly, all the things 14:18 we'll talking about, but I know, you don't 14:20 want to miss it. Join us, when we come back. 15:24 Welcome back, we've been talking with 15:25 Dr. DeWitt Williams, he is the Health 15:28 Ministries, Director for the North American 15:29 Division of Seventh-Day Adventist and 15:32 interestingly you know, if Seventh-Day Adventist 15:33 man have a problem with prostate cancer. 15:36 We've talked about that today, sometimes 15:39 as they studied in the Adventist Health Study 15:41 you told me it's really those that have made 15:43 the decision to, to eat the daily products, 15:46 that are little bit higher than the others, 15:48 but every man in the United States and even 15:51 around the world needs to be concerned about 15:54 prostate cancer. So, especially to live 15:55 in the Northern regions. That's right, exactly and 15:58 if they're Black. I need to be concerned 15:59 about it. Now, the prostate is just below 16:03 the blighter. And, running from the 16:07 blighter is a tube call the urethra. Umm! 16:12 And the prostate surrounds that, it's 16:15 sort of like, if you would take an arnge 16:17 and put a straw in the middle of the 16:20 arnge. Okay. And, so as the, as you 16:24 get older, the arnge gets bigger. Umm! 16:28 And, gets bigger and bigger and bigger and 16:31 not only does a get bigger, but it pressures 16:32 on that straws, so that's actually, what 16:35 happens is happening in the prostate. 16:38 The prostate pumps fluid is the fluid that 16:41 it brings in for the sperm and the, the 16:46 between that seminal vesicles that bring 16:49 the fluid in that the carriage the sperms 16:51 so, that's get purpose of the prostate, 16:53 something people say, what is it, why, why did, 16:55 why did God give us the prostate anyway. 16:58 Well, it does and little bit of that fluid that's 17:01 the goes into the carriage of the sperm. 17:03 So. So, lifestyle though seems to be related 17:07 to their developing of the cancer and it's, 17:08 like you said before it seems like, when people 17:11 moved to America, many times they've 17:13 more and probably that's because of the high fat. 17:16 High fat by. All those different 17:18 things. That's right. So, before you moved 17:21 to America think about that, right? 17:23 Well, high fiber diet is good for exercise. Umm! 17:29 Sunlight, Vitamin-D, Solanum, or lycopene 17:34 to made a products soy those were all 17:37 things that have been shown to have a positive 17:41 affect on prostate. So. And, so we don't 17:45 need a lot of soy and. Tea you say an zinc, 17:49 well that's nuch, probably. A nuch 17:51 that's right. So, these are, these 17:53 are good things and to be eating. 17:55 Now, once you have the diagnose. 17:59 Well, let's talk about how to avoid it, I mean 18:01 first and then we will come. Okay. 18:03 Won't you have it. You said, everybody 18:05 passed age 50, instead of should having a 18:09 rectal examine and if you're African-American 18:11 starting at 40. 40, starting at 40, 18:13 that's right. Can you think? 18:14 And not, not just the one, I want to emphasize 18:16 that again, the PSA and the DRE. So, the blood 18:19 test and the exam. That's right. 18:21 Start to get 40 for African-Americans and 18:23 anybody with that family history that would be 18:25 talk about, if you had the grandfather and 18:28 the grandfather and the uncle, you also should 18:30 start at age 40. So, you said, that 18:32 want to gets abnormal and gets a large. 18:34 So, a normal would be a smaller size. 18:36 That's right, that's right. And, you said, 18:38 what are the things as a doctor look for 18:40 when he is doing that exam, I'm not that you 18:42 want to think. Think to most of feel 18:43 the, the edges of it, he want to feel that 18:47 consistency of it's irregular, he wants to 18:49 feel of it soft to hard, if it's soft, it's good 18:52 if it's hard, he wants to feel all of those 18:54 things and he can feel that to, with that finger 18:57 exam that he does. And then they, they've 19:00 a, what they called a Gleason grading system. 19:04 That's right. Once. To the biopsy. 19:06 Once they found out that, they suspect that 19:09 you may have it. Then you're gone, you 19:12 sent to get a CAT scan, and then you're sent to 19:15 get biopsy and the biopsy they tig, I remember the 19:19 doctor saying, this is going to, this won't 19:22 hurt much you know, that will be a pinch 19:23 and pop and there is a little device that has 19:30 a needle in it. Yeah. Attach a little 19:31 piece of. Tissue. Tissue from usually 19:34 about 6 or 7 places you know, difference 19:36 spots maybe on this and in the middle and that 19:39 the front and, and they take them and they 19:41 look, they examine. The pathologist will 19:43 examine the tissue and see what it look like 19:47 and they give back to Gleason scores that 19:49 usually give a two scores of primary and the 19:51 secondary score and they add them together and 19:54 if the higher it is, the worse it is and the 19:56 same way with the PSA. So, another words, you 20:01 got a really watch that, if the starts going up 20:03 will probably, can you think great. 20:05 That's right. Now, the treatment, 20:07 the treatment itself, you had to go through this 20:09 what are the treatment things they come up, 20:11 with what are they do, if you're diagnosed with 20:13 prostate cancer. Well, you've several 20:16 options, is a surgery and then you've radiation. 20:21 And, I chose to go to Loma Linda, were they've 20:24 the proton beam. Umm! And, the 20:26 proton beam is a special type of radiation that 20:30 focuses on that particular area and many, 20:36 most times radiation can damage tissue in front 20:40 of tissue behind or tissue around, but the 20:42 proton beam hits precisely that area. 20:45 And. That's you didn't move, when you were 20:48 there, you just still. But this is interesting 20:50 that you said that the first time I had to fly 20:53 out there, they make a part for you, it's, it's 20:57 style form part, you lie down they poof star 21:00 from all around you, and. You can't move? 21:02 No, can't move, but this is your part and I got 21:06 40 treatments and each time I had the treatment 21:08 for only 90 seconds. So, each time I had got 21:11 in, got in a part because they don't want you to 21:14 any wants forever, you get in that part. 21:16 Umm! And they were directed at the same 21:19 spot and it's a real precise bit of a work. 21:26 Do you still have your part. No, I like to kept 21:28 the part, but I do have the little, there is a 21:33 little blue cast that they put and there 21:35 that confirms to, to my measurements and block 21:37 that hole. Yeah. And lastly, so then 21:40 are there any side effects to these 21:42 treatments. Yes, it's according to, now with 21:45 surgery and my daughter is a physician, they've 21:49 said, all the urologist want you to have surgery 21:51 because the surgery can actually cut the cancer 21:56 out and they have Dr. Patrick Walsh 22:01 and John Hopkins's surgeon that has come 22:05 up with the technique where they spare the, 22:08 the bundle of nerves that are useful for the 22:11 erection in surfaced, but sometimes you know, and 22:15 get kind of bloody and surgeons hands might 22:17 stipple, a lot of man have, we, we called 22:19 at the two eyes impotence and 22:21 incontinence. As a result. As a result of 22:24 it, they may have to wear a diaper for the 22:26 rest of their life's then we have another 22:28 erection of it. And, for some man it 22:31 could be as why it's, a very touchy subject 22:34 for some to talk about. Then of course with 22:38 radiation, radiation, they are showing down 22:43 that the proton beam is five year and 10 year 22:46 survival rature pretty, pretty good just, just 22:49 as good as with surgery. Umm! But you'll have 22:52 possibly, more difficulties with rectal 22:55 bleed. I, I had some rectal bleeding, when I 23:01 first came home. I was here for 8 weeks, 23:05 and the first five weeks I felt just real good, 23:09 I even perhaps meetings, I had some food floating 23:12 we had meetings, and I you know, lot of phone 23:14 callings, but the sixth week I started to feel 23:16 a little weaker. And the seventh week, 23:19 and by the eight week I didn't have much energy 23:22 what so ever. And, I can remember 23:24 when I left, I through home from Loma Linda, 23:27 when by to see my daughter, who is in 23:29 Houston Texas, I came home at Friday. 23:32 But I want to work on Monday. 23:33 And, but maybe about week and half, later 23:38 on kind a felt depressed. Umm! And, so I went 23:41 home and stay home in for about two or three 23:44 weeks and spirit to came back up again 23:46 so, you can have fatigue, and tiredness. 23:48 This is what the radiation. With the 23:51 radiation, there is a procedure called Siege 23:53 I know, couple of people, who have had seed 23:56 and siege is a radiation. These are little pieces 24:00 of radiation that are implanted into the area 24:03 the scrotum and the area around and they 24:06 deliver that dose of radiation then I, they 24:11 said that's fairly, these are all experimental. 24:13 So, we do surgery is the only one that we have 24:16 long term history on, even with the Proton 24:23 Beam or many insurance they don't covered 24:26 and it's , it's been shown to be very 24:29 effective, but you have to pause 25,000, 24:32 30,000, 40,000 some that time and 24:35 if your insurance as in covered that's a lot of 24:37 money to come out of your own pocket. 24:39 So, I go around now, as I said, when I first 24:42 find out or little bit embarrassed, but when 24:43 I first found out or other little bit 24:44 embarrassed, but when I found out, how would you 24:46 know, doctors have prostates and they 24:49 get effected preachers, young people, older 24:53 people, everybody don't your probably eventually 24:56 have this problem, so now I give talked, can 24:58 meetings, I've gone on radio, I'm a part of 25:00 group called, department of defense, they've a 25:06 prostate group, they portion millions of 25:09 dollars and I said on this pan other they're 25:12 urologist and all kinds of people around the 25:15 table, I'm the consumer, they called me a consumer 25:16 I'm somebody, who has. Had it. Had it. 25:18 And, the two consumers in that group and we 25:22 dole out money to people who are presenting 25:25 proposals for new treatments. And, I see. 25:28 Historically black colored as a universities and 25:30 so forth and one of, one of the suggest as 25:33 that key man was a set up a, a learning 25:37 center in a barber shop, where Black man come 25:40 you know, but I thought it was a real, we, we, 25:42 we. Gave some money to that. Gave money to 25:44 that. And, I was talking once I met Dr. Ben 25:47 Carson, who is a well known surgeon and 25:49 he also has gone through this. He had surgery. 25:51 Umm! He had surgery. By a Dr. Patrick Walsh, 25:54 he is the renowned surgeon and John 25:56 As far as you know, well for him. 25:58 As far as I know, yeah. So, I guess a teaching 26:02 point is, I mean Ben Carson was right near 26:05 50 I think, when he had that. 26:07 But he very young. Pretty young. 26:09 A very young, I was 58. Umm! 26:11 57 when diagnosed and 58 when I had my 26:14 treatment. So. So, the teaching 26:16 point is look it's not the end all, but it can't 26:19 be, if you don't get toward soon. 26:20 If you don't catch it quickly enough and 26:24 it's, but testisizes to the bones or it's, it's 26:28 a terrible disease, it's painful, it's devastating 26:32 and it's life threatening it will care you quickly. 26:36 Umm!
