I was wondering how you were doing Tom because I am also from Long Island and have recently been diagnosed with prostatitis but have had mild symptoms for a long time. It wasn't until the pain was so bad I went had to go to ER. Since then I went on Cipro for 3 weeks which helped right away but tore my stomach and mind apart. I still have symptoms and my urologist told me to live with it completely unaware how it feels. One thing that really helped was apple cider vinegar. I drink 3 glasses of water a day with 2 tblspoons of ACV a day. At first I was drinking a lot more but the better I feel the less I drink. I noticed it made me feel good and gave me energy. I also quit smoking marijuana which was a major trigger because every time I got high I would have symptoms right away. I also take saw palmetto but I don't think its very effective as a relief of pain but more of a preventive measure. I also changed my diet drastically. No red meat, more fish and vegatables. Diet is very important. I also try to eat almonds everyday because it's my understanding the prostate needs zinc so foods high in zinc are good for men. I also gave up coffee and alcohol. I also used to wear tight jeans but believe me I won't be wearing those anymore. I also took a super probiotic to reverse the damage of the cipro. I also take cayenne pepper and most recently I am trying serrapeptase and immune boosters until my immune system heals from years of smoking pot and drinking and can fight bacterial infections again. Everyone thinks I am crazy but I truly feel better and its been only a month since I had to go to ER. Stress is also a big factor so I will be trying St. John's wort in the future and trying to melt away stress with foot rubs, sauna trips, good sleep, and learning new ways to tackle stressful situations. Perhaps even go to a psychologist. This is a rough thing to deal with and it's a shame that there isn't an easy well known cure but on the brighter side at least I am finally taking my health into my own hands and making responsible better decisions in the face of criticism. So anyway if you haven't figured this out yet you need to figure out the triggers and eliminate them for a while and maybe re-introduce them slowly and keep them in moderation. And if you are doing well I would love to know what worked for you!

Supplements

It seems the more of these supplements my hubby take the higher his psa test goes. I am beginning to wonder about the supplements bc before he was taking so many 4 years ago, his prostate wasn't even enlarged. And he was mainly taking saw palmetto and collidal silver. Either certain brands of supplements don't work or they may be fake pills. I don't know..... But we do know the psa test is not approved by the fda bc they found it to be too inaccurate and gave it a failing grade of 'D'! Would you want a doctor to operate on you if you knew his final grade was a 'D' on his license? I know, there wouldn't really be a license. Just saying...
Tart Cherry Juice
★★★★★
My Uncle (87 years old) has been complaining about waking up ever 45 minutes and have to pee. I told him to start drinking Tart Cherry Juice. We got him afew bottles and he has been drinking it in the morning and before bed. Today, 1 ½ month later he has called me twice today to thank me for putting him on the tart cherry juice. It has changed him life. He said he sleeps thru the night without getting up to pee. And he is able to empty out his bladder in the morning.
Why it works:
Preliminary research suggests that a natural compound in cherries might help people who suffer from arthritic inflammation, gout, and because of the fruit's high anthocyanin levels, cherries may have a role in preventing prostate cancer, the leading cancer in men in the United States. Packed with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, tart cherries can help maintain urinary tract health, prevent infections, and support kidney function.
Cherries, contain powerful anti-inflammatory compounds known as anthocyanins. Chronic inflammation can contribute to various urological issues, such as bladder infections, kidney problems, and discomfort in the urinary tract. By consuming cherries, you may reduce inflammation, helping to alleviate symptoms associated with these conditions. https://desertskyurology.com/blog/how-cherries-can-support-urological-health-benefits-and-uses/

About 2 1/2 months ago I changed my breakfast habits. I started making breakfast burritos every morning and sometimes at lunch. Long story short my wife was in hospital and I was trying to simplify things. I had noticed that my burritos tasted a lot better with Pace picante sauce on them, and so I read the label and there was no sugar, corn syrup, or artificial ingredients, preservatives etc and that it was cheaper by the gallon Hmmm. So I started buying the medium heat picante sauce by the gallon and refilling my little glass pace jars.
I am starting the third gallon and I woke up the other morning and realized that even when I take my allergy meds with Pseudoephedrine in them that there was no discomfort. I also noticed there was no issues going to pee, Hmmm. Why?? I started searching and discovered why. Because of a ingredient in tomatoes called Lycopene. That is the only changes in diet I have made.
I eat at least a half cup of it a day almost every day. I'm a old member here at Earth Clinic and so I have been using lemon or lime and baking soda for maybe 10 years for my ph, Thanks to TED. It's been years since I have used the site. But I thought this to important not to share. I wasn't looking for a remedy, but I tripped over one by mistake. I found a remedy that works and didn't know it. When I realized I had healed myself I started looking for how. I could think of no better place to share it. Better save this one folks, It works.
Turpentine
★★★★★
I had an enlarged prostate to the point I had to sit sideways in my truck to drive. I did not want to go to the doctor and take drugs. I read about turpentine and thought I would give it a shot. I took a dose, three sugar cubes soaked with turpentine every three days. First dose, next day I woke up felt very good and worked thru the day about 2pm I had a diarrhea attack. The diarrhea was very black and very awful smelling. For a period of about 3-4 days I did not have the diarrhea but my waste was still black until it normalized.
I kept taking the turpentine every three days for about three weeks and then I went to the toilet and peed, I started to pee chunks. The chunks were the consistency of snot with a little blood red end. This lasted about three days with the intensity waning as it progressed. Swelling immediately went down.
When I take turpentine now I barely get a reaction. OK there is my story.

Urination Technique

This is strange to me, as I actually find the opposite. If I stand up to urinate, I find it easier to and at the same time seem to empty my bladder more. It's still not perfect but it's a considerable improvement I find.

Mike - I agree. I feel that my bladder empties considerably more freely and completely when I stand to urinate. Perhaps it's the gravity effect?
That reminds me of an old Virginia Supreme Court opinion of the late 1880s in an appeal from a conviction of an 85 year old man of rape, in which the justice, in overturning the conviction, wrote that the "only reason for a man of that age to have a penis was to connect his bladder with the outside air! " (Can't recall the case citation, but it's in the books! )

Hi, My husband is having the prostate problem for over two years now after the biopsy. He's through all doses of antibiotics and several trips to the ER and just last month he was hospitalized due to the urine infection through the catheter. He's now alpha blockers or ibubrofin to help when it's hard to urinate. He's also on the Broccoli Treatment for over 10days now (it's a 21 days treatment). I don't see much of the progress yet. So, I will try the Willow Herb Tea as you recommended. Where did you buy it?

Very topical for me, this idea of using Willow Tea. I just read about this. The trusted source said it was truly miraculous. I will try some for sure. The supplement that has worked best for my prostate issue is beta sitosterol.

Hi Hp, did your husband have these prostate symptoms before or after the biopsy? I have heard that the biopsy can cause long term issues.

Zinc works for me, but be careful with the tablet ingredient "cellulose" (wheat, gluten, and grass allergies). Always use Softgel vitamins (no cellulose).
