Prostate

     

Current statistics reveal that  prostate disorders will affect about 60% of men over 40 years of age, and 90% of men over 60.  The condition known as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common and bothersome condition, while prostate cancer is the most serious of prostate conditions.  Fortunately, these conditions respond favorably in most cases to natural medicine, and there are many cases of complete remission of prostate cancer and BPH.

     Common Questions about the Prostate

 

1. Why are prostate problems so common in men over 40?  Internal problems such as with the prostate are most commonly a result of synthetic chemicals and hormones in our environment, (including our food supply) which damage the prostate over time.

 

2. What percent of men will develop prostate problems?  According to current statistics, about 60% of men over 40 will experience prostate conditions of various types.  The percentage increases proportionate to age, with about 90% of men being affected by the age of 60.  Dietary factors and exercise also play a role.

 

3. How do I know if I have a problem with my prostate?  The most common symptom is having to urinate frequently.  If you regularly have to get up at night to urinate, that is most likely a good indication of prostate inflammation.  The more often you have to get up to urinate, the greater the severity of the condition.  Also, reduced flow of urine, and a feeling of not completely finishing, are symptoms.

 

4. Will a change in diet correct a problem with the prostate?  A change of diet is most likely in order, but that in itself in most cases is not enough. Specific supplements however work especially well to heal prostate swelling. ..." page 4.

 

 

     "Zinc is essential for the reproductive organs of men perhaps even moreso than for women, and a chronic deficiency of it is one of the major causes of male infertility.  It rids the body of chemical poisons which enter through food, drink, and the air, as stated previously, and it also comprises as much as 15% of the content of semen, or at least it should, if the body is receiving proper amounts of zinc in the diet.  Most men it appears are not getting even the required daily allowance of 15 milligrams." page 8.

 

     Zinc however, should not be taken in isolation, unless it is in addition to the RDA of zinc taken with a multi-vitamin/mineral supplement.  This is owing to the fact that zinc is antagonistic to copper, meaning that it will steal copper from the body.  2 milligrams of copper are needed daily by adults to maintain, among other things, the suppleness of the veins and arteries, and thus prevent atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.

 

     In addition, it is recommendable not to take more than around 50 milligrams per day at most, because amounts of 100 millgrams can cause nausea, and actually suppress the immune system, instead of strengthening it, as lower doses do.  Some of the manufacturers of supplements are currently producing 100 milligram tablets, and this is a serious mistake on their part.
