I'm not aware of any documented instances of prostate cancer just 'going away' through a change of diet. At least, I don't think you'll find any in The Lancet or The New England Journal of Medicine. Plus, 26 is an unusual age at which to be the recipient of a prostate cancer diagnosis. Usually, prostate cancer doesn't materialise until after the age of 50, and in many instances is asymptomatic and slow growing, only coming to attention when the patient is around 70 years of age (this is the median age for diagnosis). However, if it becomes aggressive and metastatises, it can become a serious killer. It's listed as the No.6 carcinoma cause of death in Europe, and the No.2 in the USA after lung cancer.
If Benedict had an unusual prostate carcinoma at 26, chances are it was one of the aggressive, early metastatising ones. if so, then it's pretty unlikely that a macobiotic diet would bring it to a halt.
