My husband had problems with urination in the night. I had heard that an enlarged prostrate had to do with a zinc deficiency. I had read that pumpkin seeds had a lot of zinc in them, so I bought a bag of pumpkin seeds. He's been eating them every evening for a snack and he said that after some weeks, he no longer has problems in the night.
Can't make money on pharmaceuticals if they propose natural remedies. And when they help you achieve good health, you won't need doctors as much. Follow the money.
Randall, you'll end up with tarps, if you don't start taking what works. 800 mg of beta sitosterol you can get it from amazon, new you vitamins makes a good one, 3 bottles of 90 caps each for $29
I have a self diagnosed prostatitis problem. I decided to try applying lugol's iodine topically to the general area around the prostate. I determined this was a good way to try and kill the unwanted bacteria. I have been doing this for about a month I think. It seems to have given me some relief. I apply it in the morning and at night. It can dry out the skin and burn some. But its good effects out weigh the bad in my opinion.
Doctor David Brownstein has written several books concerning the thyroid and iodine you might research iodine to see what you are getting into. Because if your thyroid is not healthy or have hashimottos disease it could affect you. The iodine can irritate the thyroid if you have hashimottos disease. I believe a lot of people have a iodine deficiency but it can be tricky to try and use iodine.
Look up Lugols iodine on amazon and read the reviews some are pretty remarkable. Swansons website sells it along with amazon.

Regarding -- combining ACV & molasses --
Yes you can use them together. Tastes even worst in my opinion hehe. I quite like the taste of ACV with fruit juice. And molasses is tolerable when with strong tea.
-- reducing ACV acidity --
I have issues with the strong acidity of ACV when increasing the dose.. it hurts my teeth. So I started adding baking soda and surprisingly it still worked just as well!! I thought maybe it would stop working but all was good :-). Problem with baking soda is it has too much sodium and gives me a headache, so now I am experimenting with calcium carbonate (lime mineral) which is easily found in most (but maybe not all) calcium supplements.

The wonderful Theresa from Minneapolis, MN has been helping pet owners and their beloved pets around the world on Earth Clinic since 2013.
About Theresa
Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.
Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.
Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and fueled her quest for the knowledge held in lore, and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

How To Show Theresa Your Appreciation
If you would like to thank Theresa for her helpful posts, she asks if you would please consider making a donation to one of her favorite local rescue organizations, or by making a donation to help the genius contributor, Ted from Bangkok, recover from his stroke.
I have limited knowlege about your condition, however I have studied up some because my dog has BPH.
You may wish to consider stinging nettle; it is proven effective for treating prostatic issues, moreso than saw palmetto. So - FYI/FWIW {for your information/for what its worth}:

Hi anon thanks for your post. My husband is completely well now he sleeps through the night and has no problems at all urinating, I am convinced it was the Beta Sitosterol. His urine flow returned to normal within 48 hours of taking it for the first time. Although the other nutrients like the Q10 etc. Must have helped. Anyway thank you for your interest, I just hope we never have to go through that again. If we do at least I know how to deal with it. Cheers and take care. Marlane

I've just finished reading a report from "pepperlover" in topix forum.. who was diagnosed with prostate cancer, he didnt want it removed and started taking 600mg of cayenne over a day.. In a few days he was able to urinate freely again and.. within two weeks he could orgasm again.. When he went to the doctor for a check up a month or two later.. the test showed no signs of cancer the doctor couldnt believe it.... He got the idea from a trail on rats who were given the human prostate cancer cell... The good news seems to be that cayenne seems to be working on other types of cancer cells.

Up until last June, I had been getting up two to four times a night for years due to an enlarged prostate. Then one day I was painting the base of my bed and didn't want to set it back on the floor, so I put a couple barbells under the head to keep the painted base off the carpet. Hit the sack that night and woke up at 5:00 -- couldn't believe that I had slept all night. So, I went to the Internet to do some research and ran across the "inclined bed therapy" concept.
Now I'm at 6 inches high and sleep well every night and only get up once. Also had a cough that would wake me during most nights... that went away. Varicose veins have subsided. My wife no longer snores. This one simple move has changed our lives - and it can change yours. Regardless of the problem you have, try it and see what happens. I don't take any drugs and sleep like a log every night.

WORKED TEMPORARILY
Well I went to the doctor because the pain came back with a vengeance. I was diagnosed with prostatitis and had to take a regime of strong anti biotic for 28 days. The peroxide did work for a while but it didn't cure it. Thanks again for your site.

At 40 I starting using Saw Palmetto for BPH, benign prostatic hypertrophy (enlargement of the prostate) to control the life altering affects of not being able to urinate and feeling like you have to pee all the time. I have had genital herpes since 1983 or so. I had stress related outbreaks 1-2 times a month for 2o years. healing time about a week. I noticed, how could I not notice that I have had only 1 very small fast heeling (1day) painfree outbreak in 18 months. I take 450 mg once a day in the morning. I also have oral herpes, oh that is embarrassing to say the least. About six months ago I started using an online product from healing natural oils. www. amoils. com I would also get stress related outbreaks on my lips about once a month, with 1-2 weeks to heal. I rub the oil under my feet twice a day. I would always get an out break after being outside all day. Now I have a high stress outbreak about every 6 months, it does not turn into a blister and heals in 24 hours. No unsightly sores to embarrass me in public. I never get an outbreak after being outdoors or camping. I used saw palmetto a year before using the oil, so I know that the saw palmetto worked for me. Hope someone finds this helpful.

If I am not mistaken, Testosterone is measured as "free" levels. One of the problems of aging is the body becomes unable to properly use the Testosterone that's available in the blood and is destroyed by Albumin. The Prostate Gland accumulates Testosterone metabolites and thus becomes inflamed. The herbs Stinging Nettles and Avena Sativa help the body use Testosterone.
For T boosting, in addition to the above herbs, I also take either DHEA or Pregnenalone, Maca, Tribulus terrestris. Horny Goat Weed and Mucuna prurienes is also recommended for T boosting.

re: How my 'hated' remedy freed me from the prostate discomfort. Hi, For the last 2 months I have been suffering from sleeplessness caused by my prostate disorder. I started reducing consumption of liquids closer to evenings; thinking I would not be going to the toilet 3 or 4 times during the night. It did not help. Recently, for 2 consecutive nights I was forced to go to the toilet 5 and 6 times. My sister reminded me of a grain used in the Afghan cuisine and as well for kidney problems. It is known in Farsi as 'Shanbalila' in Arabic al-holba'. This grain's name in English is Fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum). I bought a small package of 200g. (Imported from India) in an Afghan variety store in Montreal for 2 dollars. Since my childhood' I did not like the smell of the thing and the day my mother put some of it into a sweet rice dish I refused to eat it at all and invited myself to my aunt's place to avoid being forced to eat. After my 2 troubled nights, I looked into a book of remedies published in Iran in Persian language. I found this Fenugreek recommended for my kind of problem. According to the simple instruction, I put approximately 2 teaspoons of the grain in a pot of boiling water and turned the heat off shortly and left the infusion for the evening. Before going to bed I drank a cup of the liquid and started wondering what kind of a 3rd night will I be going through. At the early hours of that night, I woke up twice for the toilet, each time after an hour of shallow sleep. Afterward I woke up around 7 in the morning without any pressing need to the toilet. Apparently the infusion took a few hours to start working. I used this remedy for 3 more days and with 2 -3 cups per day. Now, I wake up only twice in the night, if I don't drink a lot of liquids in the afternoon. Whether it cured an infection somewhere in my body or else, it did something good to me and I sleep well enough at nights now. The only aftermath of the fenugreek is an unpleasant odor (for me) in the armpits that does not go away after 2-3 showers. One has to use a strong deodorant for a few days even after the treatment. Good luck!
It says 'CORN SILK'... 'Pour 2 cups of boiling water of 1tbl corn silk let simmer for 5 min. strain and sweeten.' You can buy corn silk tea at many Asian grocers and online including Amazon. It is also beneficial for...
1. Good Source of Antioxidants
Stigma maydis is rich in phenolic compounds, especially flavonoids. Studies on the plant fiber show that it provides strong antioxidant activity by inhibiting free radical scavenging.
Animal studies show that corn silks have anti-inflammatory effects and can be used to suppress pro-inflammatory mediators. Researchers believe that the silks may be useful for the treatment of inflammatory diseases related to oxidative stress.
2. Rich in Nutrients
We know that the nutritional value of corn is impressive, but its silks are also rich in macro- and micronutrients. It contains:
proteins
carbohydrates
vitamins
calcium
potassium
magnesium
sodium salts
It also features volatile oils and steroids, including sitosterol and stigmasterol, alkaloids, and saponins.
3. Improves Cholesterol Levels
There's evidence to suggest that consuming the flavonoids in Stigma maydis can help improve cholesterol levels.
In one study, administration of flavonoids from corn silk extract resulted in significantly lowers levels of triglycerides and LDL cholesterol. There was no difference in HDL cholesterol levels, but the data shows that the silks may have potential anti-hyperlipidemic effects.
4. Reduces Blood Pressure
Although more clinical trials are needed, there's some research indicating that corn silk tea is useful for patients with hypertension. The main outcome of drinking the tea was total blood pressure lowering, but researchers note that using the tea plus antihypertensive drugs may be more effective.
5. May Reduce Blood Sugar
Studies indicate that consuming these corn threads has anti-diabetic effects, and they've been proven to improve glucose tolerance in rats. Although more research involving humans is necessary, the animal studies demonstrate corn silk's anti-diabetic benefits.
6. May Work as a Diuretic
Research suggests that corn silk soothes and relaxes the lining of the bladder and urinary tubules, so it may be helpful in reducing irritation and increasing urine secretion.
The silks have been found to have diuretic effects and urine flow increased after consumption. Because it works as a diuretic, eating this part of the corn plant can also decrease potassium levels.
Stigma maydis was also used in traditional medicine to treat urinary tract infections. Although research on this possible corn silk benefit is limited, its diuretic properties may support urinary tract health.
7. May Help Improve Depression
Although more research involving humans is needed, this is evidence involving mice suggesting that corn silk has anti-depressant activity and can improve the “excitation spirit” and lengthen activity time.
8. May Aid Weight Loss
There's evidence from studies conducted on mice to support corn silk's benefits for weight loss, but human trials are needed.
In one study, researchers concluded that corn silk extract inhibited fat accumulation and fat synthesis, while promoting the expression of genes involved in fat oxidation. The silks may reduce body fat accumulation, at least in animals.
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.

Jerry G,
I agree; you can cut the dosage; your 3 mg dose sounds good; and you can take all of these, and long term too, as they are all food.
Congratulations on your success in controlling your BPH and prostatitis!
I did read somewhere that Boron decreases your SHBG, and therefore increases your Free Testosterone.
> the effects of Boron on testosterone are really amazing.
> I lost 14 lbs of fat and gained muscle and feel strong.
Congrats on your success!
What you're saying is **amazing** because you have succeeded where I seemed to have failed.
I used to buy and take Boron, in 3 mg-sized capsules, I used to take one capsule a day. However, after about 90 days - or was it 180 days? - I stopped taking Boron, because I felt it wasn't doing anything for me.
May I have a couple of questions for you?
How did you do it? That positive effect on your Testosterone and Estradiol is exactly what I'm looking for. One possibility is that it worked for you was because you worked your way up to 9 mg for one month?
Another possibility is that you did cycle Boron, 2 weeks on and 1 week off... maybe that was the key in your success?
Another possibility is the product itself... did you get your Boron in those standardized 3 mg capsules that health food stores tend to sell? Or did you buy your Boron in bulk?

I used Norwegian Cod Liver Oil available from most health food stores and I used chelated 2mg copper tablets available from Swanson in the USA. But it's important that they be chelated for good absorption. Also, I would up the concentration from 1 x 2mg copper tablet to 2 or 3 copper tablets, that is 6mg Copper, for a better ratio of copper to the 50 mg chelated zinc tablet or capsule.
My Lugol's is a 2% solution. So how would you recommend doing this? Some drops in water? If so, how many drops of lugols? Also, can it be applied topically for prostate issues?
Right now I'm taking about 10-12 drops of super saturated potassium iodide (SSKI) per day. That's about 500-600mg potassium iodide (KI), or about 375-450mg of iodine. I mix it in with my drink - orange mango flavour seems to mask the iodine fairly well.
BUT Lugol's Iodine is much stronger mg for mg and I don't actually like the effect it has on me: headaches, sores in my mouth, mouth/throat infections (because it kills off friendlier flora). That's why I use potassium iodide (KI).
-- How much iodine per drop? --
SSKI :
1g KI per ml of SSKI
1 drop SSKI = about 50mg KI
1 drop SSKI = 37.5 Iodine (75% x KI)
"Calculating Number of MG's of Iodine and Iodide per Drop of Lugol's Solution: LUGOL'S 2%: Each VERTICAL "metric" drop (= 1/20ml) is approximately1.0 mg of iodine and 2.0 mg of potassium iodide. The Iodide portion of Potassium Iodide is about 75% so that is 1.5 mg. Therefore the total Iodine plus Iodide is 1.0 + 1.5 = 2.5 mg and 2 drops is about 5.0 mg's of iodine/iodide (2.0 mg iodine, 3.0 mg iodide). "
Hi Lou, to answer your question: I personally would take about 20 drops to get 50mg of iodine/iodide (20mg iodine, 30mg iodide). Initially I would need to start smaller, with about 5 drops and work up.
If you get any of the issues I mentioned (due to its oxidating action) then take Vit C as an antioxidant.
I had started mixing my Vit C with my Lugol's to prevent issues and that worked like a charm. Doing this turns the iodine to iodide, but also makes it less potent. In the end I just switched to potassium iodide. Many people seem to have no issues with Lugol's, I guess I'm qute sensitive.

Hi Albert.
Prostate issues mean you're chronically deficient in vitamin D3, iodine, vitamin C, magnesium chloride and zinc. Get you some liposomal vitamin D3, some high quality nascent iodine, zinc and quercetin (to get zinc inside the cells). If you can, get these and start supplementing every single day. Besides this one guy from a group I am part of reported having reversed his dad's prostate troubles by putting him a regular lemon water enema for 3 months straight. He also has his father take Saw Palmetto every day according to him his dad is now free from that which was troubling him. Hope this helps.
Never use any Kraft products and that goes for diet also.
ACV should always have the mother enzyme and its best to look like a scooby like the kombucha's mother.
The best I've found by far is ffrom a uk seller named qualified naturalpath. He c makes his own taken from a 200y Devon orchard. Organic of course.
Large glass of Cranberry Juice every day for rest of your life. And no more prostate problem. Older people should take 2 glasses a day. 1 when you wake up and 1 when you go to sleep.

Two remedies for prostate issues that worked well for me and for others with prostate issues:
* Apple Cider Vinegar - 1 tbsp in a glass or juice, once or twice a day. Can increase the dose gradually later if necessary.
* Molasses & Baking Soda - this can knock over 2 birds with one stone based on the experiences of others, ie. both prostate enlargement AND prostate cancer. 1 tsp molasses, and 1 tsp baking soda. Increase dose gradually as necessary.
Can totally relate to the issues with doctors. They don't have time to really look into our health problems in detail anymore. You need to spend a lot of money or have a very caring doctor to get good quality care. Can't entirely blame them, they are typically over-worked & stressed.
I have a suggestion about his urine flow issue; that even though the prostrate had decreased in size, still slight flow. Maybe, just maybe, he has a low grade urinary tract infection. Easy to treat. Get some high pph colloidal silver and let him take a tablespoon on empty stomach every morning for a week. If the flow starts returning then it probably was a virus. By the way, that too would help with his prostate. And it could be that the return of enlarged prostate was due to the infection, if indeed that was his problem (the possible urinary viral tract infection I mean).
Liquid Iodine supplementation is extremely helpful with male prostate. You will however need to take between 3-6 dropper fulls. When you squeeze the dropper, whatever fills up is considered a dropper full. Its a little confusing but a dropper full is never a FULL dropper. Please let me know how this helps. Also supplement with Selenium and get a good complete mineral supplementation. Take the Iodine daily. You should begin seeing really results in a matter of days. Life-Flo is a good brand choice for your liquid Iodine supplementation. Do not worry about taking a higher dose of Iodine, you will urinate out what your body doesn't use. Though every cell in your body needs Iodine to produce the proteins or carbohydrates in your blood, which is why higher dosage is needed to make sure the body has enough to direct it over to where you want it to go. Please let me know how this is working for you when you try it.
Hi Marlane. Glad this is working for your husband. I would like to add that maybe some elevation of the bed might help as well (for the getting up in the middle of the night several times a night to go to bathroom) You can accomplish this by placing say maybe two bricks or a concrete block, really anything (books, boards, etc. )to raise the head board of the bed 3 to 6 inches off the floor. This is a type of incline bed therapy and has been used by some to reduce the amount going to urinate through out the night.

Hi, My husband was suffering night urination and went to the Drs. for the recomended PSA test. The Dr said they were not reliable and did not want to do one. Symptoms did not go away so started him on Saw Palmetto Berries Herbal Supplement. Within days the symptoms were gone. On the days he missed his night dose he again got up. Three months later if a dose or two is missed still no nightly getting up. I believe we got a good quality one that only has saw palmetto berries (600mg), gelatin, medium chain triglycerides, vitamin E & rosemary oil as the only ingredients. My hubby took the recomended dose of three capsules a day. We found this a cheap and effective remedy (cost us approx. USD$5 for a month, plus postage of course). Love this site, Thanks.

Enlarged Prostate: Just today realized the offical corelation with Lemon Juice and hot water reducing prostate issues. I had noticed, when I drank this beverage vs coffee, no symptoms appears. Coffee tends to aggravate pain, with lemon & hot water reducing it, with almost immediate reactions, within one hour. I had always used it for cleansing mode or health binges. I also realized I had always drank fresh grapefruit juice daily, up until these issues surfaced. Guess it is time to start keeping it around again. I had attributed to other lifesyles changes I have made in the past few years. Know I know, better. Good luck everyone in your self-doctoring. Truthfully it works better, with correct knowledge. Thank You website creator from all of use whom use you as a reference.
Vernon, I'm interested in finding out what the other ingredient is that you mixed in with the BSM for cancer that spread to the bones please. Sincerely appreciate any information or advice you can give me. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Jim
EC: That post is very old and he is unlikely to respond. Based on feedback we've received over the years, the other ingredient he is probably referring to is baking soda (aka sodium bicarbonate).
Don't understand the constipation bit. ACV is actually suggested as a quick (within 15 minutes) way to get your colon moving stuff out. For all ACV references, you must be using an unfiltered vinegar with the "mother" in it. That is all the sludge you will see at the bottom of the bottle.
My husband was extremely constipated because his bladder pushed up the intestines, thereby constipating him. The ER staff kept pushing Miralax. It contains petroleum. We are not putting that into our bodies. I made him a turkey dinner, with my mom's ethnic stuffing (lots of garlic). He doesn't have that problem now!

Hello Larry, I am happy that the ACV is working for you. Are you still doing well , a month later and not taking Flomax? I have been taking Flomax for about 6 months and want to stop taking it. I am going to begin the ACV today. Thanks for commenting.
Peter, read up on the watercure2 site about taking a few grains of salt with your glass of water. I've seen it help for reducing frequent urination, especially at night, even with taking less water than what they advocate.

Peter/Australia, I started keeping an empty Folger's coffee can made of plastic, by side of bed to avoid burning out my adrenals from constantly getting up to go pee. [ the adrenals need 5 hrs of rest without getting up to be fully rested and recovered] so I just roll over, pick up container, empty, set down container, and go back to sleep. I'm trying all kinds of combinations to slow down the need to pee....hopefully soon.

"I started on raw and organic apple cider vinegar; two TEASPOONS in 8 oz. of tea or water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach ... I take the Apple Cider Vinegar 'cocktail' every morning and so far great results. Take at least 1 hour before meals. They do recommend not taking over two TABLESPOONS per day." To me you are unclear whether you took 2 teaspoons or 2 tablespoons. If you read this & remember the dose you took ... which was it, please? And, how are things going since your last post (11 yrs ago)? (I don't understand the point of using raw anything if you're going to add it to something hot before ingesting it.)
The poster states they took 2 TEAspoons. You misinterpreted. The poster points out it is recommended to take no more then two TABLEspoons, indicating they take a recommended amount.
Apple cider vinegar contains the active principle malic acid which is unaffected by the heat.
It may be ascertained therefore that substances other than live probiotics were responsible for the benefit. Good catch.

You said: "He started taking 10.000 Hu cayenne tablets. Think he took about 6 a day. Within about two days the pain had eased off and he was able to pee properly again. He was amazed and so was I. He cancelled the appointment to be operated on and is now completely fine."
Was he fine as long as he continued taking it ... or ... even without taking it anymore at all ... or ...?
>> 3 weeks ago I began taking 4 teaspoons of ACV in 16 ounces

Sorry MT, it should help straight away. If it isn't working in a day or two then I would think this treatment isn't for you :-( Maybe your problem is caused by something different than with me.
Hi there I'm 23 years old , I have been tested for everything regarding my penis and prostate but nothing came up. So the doctor says that I have inflamed prostate and prescribed soem useless medication, what I'm suffering for is that after urinating I drip urine and I have to clean up for a while till I can get dressed again, I also pee a lot and during peeing the stream finishes and then it starts again. Not to mention the times I wake up from my sleep to pee. I took a look at peoples remedies and I found one regarding Apple Cider Vinegar and natural saw palmetto. I was just wondering would this really work and if it does can you pretty please tell me what amount I should use. I'm also suffering from esophagel reflux.
My dog has bph (Benign prostatic hyperplasia) which sucks as I get no sleep til around 4am letting him out to not pee. He has to be on antibiotics but was still struggling so in between opening the door I spend my nights educating myself. I am definately buying avc today and adding it to his nettle Rosemary roubious palmetto berry tea which I grow and harvest myself. It's delicious!! I add it to 1c of his food n add I tsp citrocel twice a day. He's adamant that I'm on top of it so usually make it before I pass out lol. It's been hard in that he can't communicate to me what helps and I don't have that body part so hearing from you "penis people" (and I say that lovingly lol) has been so helpful!
Give the nettle tea a try it really seems to help him so much. U can order it online and I highly recommend dried saw palmetto berries that I add while boiling the water. Steep for at least 15-20mins but I let it sit overnight. The nettles help with infection and packed with nutrients! Good luck fellas as I'm a true believer in "its your penis use it when you want to" kinda hard when it's broken.
You wouldn't happen to have a copy of that pdf file on the nettles, would you? The link isn't working and I can't seem to access the main site either. :-/ My dog also has BPH (with cysts - does yours have cysts also?) and I'm trying to find things to help him with it. I'm currently using horsetail herb decoction mixed in with his food, but the more the better!

Dr Christopher's Kidney/Bladder herbal formula contains about 8 herbs that will restore the ut quite well. You might find several manufacturers of this formula at the health food store. Vit B-6 and the amino acid Taurine helps balance minerals and water in the body. You can also find a "Prostate Formula" specifically designed to improve that gland.
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.
Mugandani: Blackstrap molasses IS ordinary molasses from sugar cane, just make sure it's the really BLACK thick stuff, not the brown liquidy syrup they call molasses.
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...

Urinating while retaining problems: I found that twisting the penis like wringing a dishrag helps release urine in stages. Not a cure, but temporarily releases urine to alleviate the pain.You can feel it re-loading, then let the penis unravel and release...

I am desperate to find cure for my prostatitis with enlarge prostate. I hated surgery, antibiotic didnt work. I tried everything herbal etc...looking for cure . My urine test would always reveal plenty of pus. I tried to experiment on myself by injecting 1% of 30ml.Hydrogen Peroxide directly to my pen (urethra) through a syringe. At first it was painful -- bubbles came out of my pen. Now it's more than one week, my sacrifice paid off. My urine has improved. Thanks a lot.
Could you please tell me how you did it? What type of syringe did you use and how many times did you inject it? And what type of hydrogen peroxide did you use? Thank you
