Prostate health

Being a prostate cancer survivor it always hits me hard when I see someone pass from it, because it is treatable if caught early.

Other notable people were Frank Zappa and Dennis Hopper.

Knowing I had a family history made me more diligent and getting it at a relatively young age made me think hard and do my own research on possible cures.

It's been over 14 years since I was treated and because of the treatment I choose I'm still able to have sex which is more than I can say for other men I know who went different routes.

Prostate health has been linked to frequent ejaculation.
I'm not sure how true that really is. After I was diagnosed I did a ton of research and remember reading on more than one occasion that what you said is a myth.

That at one time it was believed if you held back during intercourse it could lead to prostate cancer or if you didn't ejaculate enough could be a cause.

Both scenarios have been pretty much dismissed by modern medicine.

If I may, what type of treatment did you choose?

A dear friend of mine was diagnosed appx 15 years ago- He was told the Cancer could be treated and put into remission for a undetermined period of time. As his MD explained, if this type of cancer came back, it would be aggressive- Sadly it did a few years ago and he passed after 2 years of additional invasive treatment. ( There are many different types of PC, if I understand correctly)

Gents-
PC is treatable when detected early and it should be on everyone’s annual to do list ( screening ) when you hit 50

@billyS —Glad to know you have recovered and living life on your terms, not the Cancer’s

Radioactive seeds placed in the prostate.
They are 'hot' for six weeks then inert after.

As opposed to cyberknife and surgery the nerves running over the prostate which, oh by the way, control your ability to achieve an erection are not disturbed.

But taking no chances in the weeks preceding the procedure I made sure I saw all my favorites like Shy and Seven, Cathy and Jullisa from 1f/Sanford just in case things went sideways.

Fucking prostate is one of natures’ biggest blunders.
Possibly the origins of prostate woes are harmful pathogens lodged in the prostate, often received during intercourse.

The prostate being a closed vessel, pathogens often remain inside the prostate and flourish and populate.

As opposed to the female system, where harmful pathogens can flourish, but because it is more open, pathogens can be released and flushed from the body more easily.

But, thankfully, much science is dedicated to male prostate and bladder health. There are plenty of approaches and methods aimed at prostate health.

Western medicine provides prescriptions and surgeries to effect healing. And, also diet and herbal medicine can offer great relief and healing.

But, like @billyS said, early detection is the key.

I like an Ayurvedic remedy called Gokshuradi Guggulu, from Banyan Botanicals.
I take a quarter teaspoon of the fresh ground herbal compound twice a day with some water.

(There are countless other natural remedies that I will not go into, as it would become a discourse in natural healing of the genitourinary system, that would enrage the moderators)

I like to avoid drugs and surgery if possible. But, there comes a time when many turn to drugs and surgery out of despondency and desperation. That is compassionately understood. Constant physical suffering is no way to live your life.

But, many here on this board swear by Cialis, low dose for its dual effect of controlling the urge to urinate, and to enhance libido.

I tried one pill, but one time, to test it against other herbal remedies. It was only 5 milligrams, and I am ultra-sensitive to substances. It did control urination urge and increased libido, and stayed in my system for a while.

But, When it left my system, I found the condition to be more intolerable. It merely masked symptoms and provided no cure. I didn’t want to be dependent on it for life, and lose my window of opportunity to try and genuinely improve the condition.

So, I went back to herbs like the above mentioned. And, I notice a general permanent improvement.

It should be noted here that isolating the prostate alone as the culprit for the condition, without attending to the entirely of the genitourinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, urinary tract, and even as high up as the adrenal glands, is the reason why western science with all its drugs and surgery is usually only able to mask and never cure the condition.


There are quite a few prostate drugs. I hope others contribute here with respect to their efficacy, as well as their experiences with surgical intervention. I am very interested also in all forms of healing and all methods.

Good luck. Hope you find the best method suitable for you, whether it be natural, chemical or surgical.

Any method that relieves your suffering and restores sexual vitality, while at the same time, not eroding your system, is considered a good solution.

I'm not sure I understand your post.

So Cialis masked the symptoms but when you stopped taking it the symptoms came back — I assume, i.e., not a cure and you didn’t want to be dependent on it for life?

However, your herbal treatment caused a permanent improvement correct? So I assume that since the condition was permanently improved you could stop the herbal treatment, correct? Or do you need to to be dependent on the herbal treatment for life?

The particular herbal remedy I mentioned, in the beginning, I administered it two times daily, very religiously, until I felt improvement in my condition.

Thereafter, I thought I was completely cured and I stopped for approximately one week.

Some symptoms came back, like the need to urinate at night, but far less often, and far less intense than originally.

So, now I will take it a lot less, sometimes not at all, and sometimes as needed, more like an aspirin.

The particular herbs are slightly diuretic, but very soothing to the urinary tract. Other herbs intensify absorption into the system. Somebody far more intelligent than myself, an expert, devised the combination.

Be aware that this formula is not comprised of extracts of herbs formulated in a lab and factory, like you would buy at a GNC. These are fresh ground natural herbs and spices. Therefore, they are more akin to a food product.

I am pleased with the results, so I am sharing my experience.

You might do your own test on whether Cialis or Viagra masked the symptoms, or healed them. A true test would be to just eliminate taking them from your daily regimen for one week, while maintaining your same habits, otherwise, i.e. diet, exercise, et cetera. If you observe no decline in your abilities, let me know. Your results would differ from my abbreviated test. But, yours would be a far more accurate test, because I only tried the lowest dose of Cialis (5 milligrams) on only one occasion.

I just prefer to address the problem, even though I might have to experiment and even not monger for a short period while I perfect it. My health is far more important and missing a few romps is meaningless in the long run. Because, the past is past. Building a healthy future is paramount.

Why do you waste your time? His "remedies" are completely useless, and just wastes @out of control time. He is the type of person that read some guy ate broccoli and his cancer disappeared and will then go around telling people broccoli cures cancer.

@mugi do me the favor and stay out of all health and wellness topics. You are wasting everyone's time.

Wait!! It doesn't cure cancer?
All kidding aside I remember reading about broccoli (and other cruciferous vegetables such as cauliflower) and other cancers such as breast cancer, colon cancer and oral cancers.
There is a correlation (correlation does not mean causation) of less cancer, especially prostate cancer.

There are legitimate studies (see below) showing Sulforaphane, one of the primary phytochemicals in broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables not only helps prevent prostate (and other) cancer, it has been shown for the first time to selectively target and kill cancer cells while leaving normal prostate cells healthy and unaffected.

whether or not there is enough Sulforaphane in normal quantities consumed of broccoli to be effective is another story.

I personally enjoy roasted cauliflower with brussel sprouts and onions so I hope there is a relationship.

I eat pretty well and exercise regularly started taking Flowmax which helps a lot trying to decide if I should just stick with the meds or have some type of procedure. Have any of you guys had the prostrate shave or laser done? has it worked. Thanks

Just my opinion but......
Surgery is always a risk so unless it's necessary then don't do it.
Especially down there, one slip and your impotent the rest of your.

If the Flowmax is helping just stick with that.

You don't want tubes and things shoved up your penis, trust me on that. Been there done that.

And the the recovery time is always much longer then they say it will be.
