PROSTATE - TREATMENT PROTOCOL FOR SWOLLEN PROSTATE GLAND

The most important substances for preventing prostate swelling in males and reducing swollen prostate glands down to normal size are the herbs: 

  • Saw Palmetto : take 600 mg of extract per day 
  • Pygeum : take 200 mg of extract per day 
  • Stinging nettle: take 500 mg of extract per day

Take half of the above doses of these herbs in the morning and the other half at night. (take all herbs together)

These herbs prevent normal testosterone converting to the prostate swelling dihydrotestosterone. Dihydrotestosterone is the leading culprit in benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) - prostate swelling.

Antioxidant supplements that augment the prostate normalizing effect of these herbs and prevent BPH progressing to prostate cancer are: 

  • Zinc Picolinate: 30-50 mg per day 
  • 1-2 tablespoons of tomato sauce per day 
  • 3 teaspoons of flaxseed oil per day with tomato sauce 
  • 1 teaspoon of cod-liver oil per day with tomato sauce 
  • 1, 25000 iu natural source Beta Carotene tablet per day 
  • 1, 1000 mg vitamin C tablet per day 
  • 1, 500 iu Vitamin E capsule per day 
  • 4, 50 mcg Selenium tablets per day 
  • High potency multi vitamin and mineral tablet to synergize the action of the other supplements – 
  •  “Formula Six”.

Take all the above supplements together, once per day with food

  •  Drink 1 high Isoflavone Soy protein shake each day 
  • Drink 2-3 cups of Chinese green tea per day.

Cut right down on saturated fat and transfats = red meat, cakes, cookies, chips, crisps, all processed and packaged and take away foods, milk, cheese and yoghurt.

Cut right down on calories especially those from white sugar and white flour. Lose weight if
Over-weight

BPH can also be caused by:
Damp heat in the bladder
Stuck liver Chi energy
Weak kidney Chi energy
Blood stagnation.

These conditions can be treated by a practioner of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture. See such a practioner if you are responding slowly to the above herbal and antioxidant regime.

There are no side effects resulting from this treatment regime if no drug medications are being taken. If taking herbs and drug medications together, be supervised by a health professional.

All supplements available from health food stores and chemists.
