What Would You Suggest For BPH Prostate Trouble?

[fradon]

For people who have to get up and pee a lot, who can't empty their bladder, etc.

Thanks!

CENTO tomato paste, ginger powder, and cayenne pepper this has helped my urine flow.

perhaps lower protein as i read high protein creates high methione which can create cancer. the article said that replacing meat with pinto beans can help as a person gets older.

• Salt,
• Zinc,
• DHT, (Even Proviron can be helpful)
• Androgens that don't aromatase,
  
• Anything that decreases estradiol,
• Some alpha blockers

BPH is also associated with norepinephrine. Norepinephrine has vasoconstriction effect on prostate. Prostate aimed alpha blockers can be useful..

Check for varicocele.

Finally bit the bullet and did my PSA...last time was long ago? and it was rising fast, but was still in range for a guy in his 70's...7-11 ng/ml...even though it was rising, I had no more symptoms and I had other problems to deal with. I was at the time taking Artemisinin for leukemia, it also being effective against prostate cancer so along w nettle and everything Peat I felt I was doing all I could do, and as I said all BPH symptoms were gone. Still I was afraid to do test until today...test came in at 5.10 which is below normal range acceptable for a 73 year old...relief!!...party tonight!

Thanks, what was the dose of artemisinin?

 

[Braveheart]

Thanks, what was the dose of artemisinin?

The normal dose, (2caps) 200 mg, in the evening, 4 days on 3 off...some time ago I started to include Artemisia (leaf extract) 1 500mg cap in the am, same cycle...this was just "extra insurance"?
I am really curious if I could just get by using the Artemisia as it has been said it is possibly more effective than pure drug...it is certainly cheaper. This made me look at Artemisia Artemisia Annua, Artemisinin & 2015 Nobel Prize in Medicine – Mihaela Catalina Stanciu Foundation for Life

That whole article is very good...anyway for now I'll continue to do as I do...forever.

@bzmazu would you mind telling us what your regime is or was like? Peat said you were doing all you could, what did that include

?? Peat didn't say anything...you want to know my weekly regimen ie. food/supplements?

I think a dedicated thread would be very helpful to others.

@bzmazu you start it, I’ll chime in...

 

[Braveheart]

I think a dedicated thread would be very helpful to others.

About my health battles/successes, as possibly the oldest Peatnick on forum?...or just as related to this prostate thread? Got a title?...that might guide me as to what u want.?

 

[Braveheart]

Sorry, don't mean to be obtuse....just felt I covered it...Artemisinin and Peat guidelines re diet/supplements. Everyone adapts the diet to their particular needs, so no one way would be good for all. I mostly credit Art. w the health of my prostate. I added my info to the proper thread, no?

I have some ideas. On the beach now. Getting natural E to interact with the Vit E succinate which I just started taking

When it comes to prostate issues, you are the man I follow...who knows better than someone fighting tooth and nail for his life w this disease?! I know everything you research...food/supplements etc...is related to your condition...your recent threads on D have been invaluable to my own research. I was lucky to start on Art before my prostitute gland went wacko.. I think Art should be used as anti cancer prophylactic till day you die of whatever.

Whatever happened to Gilson Dantes from Brazil? He had it bad and seemed to be fighting for his life.

Thanks!

A combination of nettle root and chamomille has played a key role in almost completely eliminating my problems with BPH.

I use ground nettle root and dried chamomille flowers, seeping it in boiling water for approximately 30-45 minutes, drinking three cups per day.

While the prostate-related benefits of nettle root are relatively widely known, maybe lesser known is the fact that the apigenin flavonoid in chamomille is a powerful anticarcinogenic which (inter alia) appears to play a role in inhibiting prostate cancer.

I initially had some concerns about the fact that apigenin is a flavonoid phytoestrogen, but in my understanding not all phytoestrogens are bad for men (from a testosterone perspective), with certain phytoestrogens having an anti-estrogenic effect.

[Estrogenic and antiestrogenic activities of flavonoid phytochemicals through estrogen receptor binding-dependent and -independent mechanisms. - PubMed - NCBI ("Estrogenic and antiestrogenic activities of flavonoid phytochemicals through estrogen receptor binding-dependent and -independent mechanisms.")]

I don't fully understand the mechanism (yet) but based on personal experience the combination of nettle root and chamomille appears to be a potent combination in addressing BPH-related problems, while I believe it may also have a role to play in the treatment of prostate cancer.

In treating BPH, it is also important to address digestion-related issues, especially constipation, which seems to exacerbate the symptoms of BPH.
