Effective Natural Remedies for Enlarged Prostate Relief

Cayenne
Posted by Bill In Thailand (Chiang Mai, Thailand) on 11/04/2012

Could someone let us know.... A daily dosage of 600-mg of cayenne peper would equate to how many teaspoons?

I began taking it today in hopes of easing my BPH symptoms... Started very cautiously with three x 1/8 teaspoon servings in 3-oz V-8 juice diluted with 3-oz of warm water... Taken after meals. I have a small hiatal hernia and battle GERD as a result. So need to be wary when ingesting pepper. But I seem to have tolerated this small dosage rate quite well. Now, I am wondering what it takes to ingest a total of 600-mg. Taken in three servings (200-mg each).

Thanks to all posters for the very interesting information.

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil reduced my husband's swollen left testicle about 85 percent in one week of light massage. My husband is terrified of seeing a doctor. There is no negotiating with him. The answer is a resounding no. For the past two months I have been giving him a combination of saw palmetto and pygeum tablets for prostate problems. He had terrible dribbling of urine and waking up many times per night. I gave him two of each tablet twice per day and within three days his bathroom runs were reduced to twice per night from four or five times. After about six weeks was reduced to once per night. I was therefore in shock when one week ago I noticed one testicle was three times its size and hard. He had been hiding it because he was afraid I'd insist on him going to the doctor. He said there was no pain. I was terrified of the thought of testicular cancer but he said he did not care he was not going to the doctor. He is 63 and cannot remember the last time he saw a doctor. Well I prayed and the thought of massaging it with coconut oil came to me. It has been one week since I'd take some oil in my hand and massage lightly from groin to under and around both testicle area. I'd then take another generous helping of oil and cup the swollen testicle in it while praying. The swelling has gone down about 85 percent in one week. I will continue doing so even after all the swelling leaves because I am hoping for a complete cure of the dribbling, which is also much better. I forgot to mention that I also started giving him two ounces of noni juice and two ounces of goji juice per day. I was so scared that I tried everything. I think the coconut oil is key though. I give one juice in the morning and the other at night.


Corn Husk Cure

My grand father had an enlarged prostate. He drank the tea from the corn husk and the prostate decreased back to its normal state. I'm writing this to add to some of the cures listed. My grandmother used this cure from an herbal book for my grandfather.

Iodine

Want to report back - iodine is still working great after several months on it. I have tried many remedies and iodine is by far the best I've seen. Have learnt to add Vitamin C to my iodine to make it gentler - it converts elemental iodine to the salt form, and this is the form we find in nature.

I've also had some lesser success with the following: molasses, ACV, Australian mountain pepper, and a vitamin supplement (which contained iodine). None of these were as effective as taking Iodine. Many of the other remedies worked well at first and then became less effective, or even completely ineffective.


Cream of Tartar
Posted by Zark (Emerald City) on 03/26/2017
★★★★★

I find Cream of Tartar very helpful in treating prostate inflammation. Dissolve in hot water between an eighth to one quarter teaspoon of Cream of Tartar (CoT), then add this to your juice. Do this morning and night.

CoT is very high in potassium and this is great for the renal system. It works quickly, within an hour or so. Make sure to dissolve in hot water as instructed as it doesn't dissolve well in cold water. If you don't dissolve it the granules are a bit too acidic as they are (I can get a canker sore), and it is also likely to not work as well.

Address Underlying Infection
Posted by Dave (Fountain Inn, Sc) on 03/17/2015

Prostate Enlargement:

Here are some helpful insights (I hope helpful) on what might be happening relative to prostate problems.

Enlarged prostate might mean there is an infection in the prostate causing enlargement of the prostate, unrelated to cancer. The reports form various cancer studies would indicate that enlargement (BPH) does not mean there is there is cancer in the prostate.

There is more a likelihood that there is a yeast, bacterial or viral infection in the prostate causing the enlargement. But then the reaction upon learning of a BPH problem by typical health care providers is to get a needle biopsy (12 point biopsy) where 12 needles are shot through the rectum and into the prostate.

However, the infection rate is very high for such a procedure.

So there is a quandary about how to handle the issue. A regular medical approach would typically call for such a biopsy and also an MRI and then medication.

But for those wishing to take a more conservative approach, the postponement of the invasive procedures means one would be looking at natural means to reduced enlargement; use of beta sitosterol, saw palmetto, pumpkin seed and many other formulas might be first tried.

But the underlying problem of the possibility of a deep seated infection in the prostate will still not have been addressed. So often the anti inflammation problem will persist.

My suggestion is that any man suffering with BPH who is seeking out methods to deal with prostate enlargement not overlook the possibility of underlying infection.

There are some innovative methods of analysis available...Radio Wave Frequency techniques, Rife Technology and other possible avenues for determining if a yeast or bacteria or virus is causing the enlargement should be explored.

I'd appreciate any reader to comment on this issue of how to determine if an infection is present and how to deal with possible deep tissue infections...in this case a possible deep gland infection.

I have used colloidal silver over a long term in high quantity as well as Rife. So far in measuring inflammation, mine is much reduced. Deep bacteria infection appears to have been the cause and I think the Rife technology is the reason there is a reduction in infection and consequently a reduction in inflammation. Hence, I am becoming asymptomatic. Reduction in gland enlargement, however, can take a very long time to accomplish so patience is a virtue.

I have to avoid the known prostate inflammatory items such as coffee and chocolate.

Apple Cider Vinegar

I ended up on your site looking for a cure for shingles. I found it and it involved among other things Apple cider vinegar to be ingested and a mix of Aloe vera and crushed cayenne pepper rubbed on the redness which almost instantly brought the blisters to a head. I was done with shingles in about a week. Because of all the testimonials here, I decided to keep on taking the ACV orally 3 times a day. In liquid form or capsules. I realized that my flow of urine got stronger and started to last much longer. I had prostate problems for a few years and I was taking every day some very expensive herbal tea that was working somewhat. I decided to stop the herbal tea and stay on the ACV only. I now pee like a 15 years old and I'm not on any medication. ACV also cured me of my insomnia! Thank you Earth Clinic for such a great site.

Enlarged Prostate / Prostate Infection

Hi all, I'm 67 yrs. old and hadn't had any issues with my prostate until about 3 months ago, started with slower stream and then some burning then constant urge to void and getting up 5 times a night. I tried saw palmetto, nettle, pygeum, and pumpkin seed oil.No effect! ACV helped a little, then I read about bee pollen, propolis and royal jelly, boron, olive leaf extract and their effect on infections and testosterone, it seems that enlarged prostate is part bacterial and part hormonal.

Anyway, this is what cured me.

  • 1,000mgs of bee pollen 1 X day,
  • 500mgs propolis X3 extract which is equal to 1500mgs 3X a day,
  • 1,000mgs of royal jelly X1 day.
  • I then added olive leaf extract 500mgs 3X day
  • and for testosterone and estridol balance, the mineral Boron, started at 3mgs and worked my way up to 9mgs for one month.

I then learned that you have to cycle Boron 2 weeks on and 1 week off to prevent your hormones getting out of balance, I've been doing this with no ill effects and you can cut the dosage I'm on 3mgs now. You can take all of these long term as they are all food.

Note: the effects of Boron on testosterone are really amazing. I lost 14 lbs of fat and gained muscle and feel strong.

Hope this helps someone.

Budwig Protocol, Dietary Changes

Dear Craig you are so right. These days doctors do not care about your health. They only want to poke and prod wherever they can. I have suffered with high blood pressure for about 15 years now. Never had it before would walk for miles always had great blood pressure. Now since I've become older the doctors always calling my house because they want to come out and check to see how I am doing. I DON'T WANT THAT! They keep calling anyway! I suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm and was in the hospital for a month and a half. That was a real picnic. Awhile later they hired a Japanese doctor who could heal an aneurysm with laser! You only had to stay in the hospital for one hour! The other doctors threw him out!!! I no longer have trust in them! I am so much worse since I went back to the doctors. I will not go again unless I cut or break something!!!!


Bromelain for Testicular Pain
Posted by Milky Way (France, Paris) on 05/29/2017

I have had chronic enduring testicular pain for more than a year and tried loads of natural remedies. Turmeric, ashwagandha, rhodiola, zinc, and daily juicing had no effect on my pain and inflammation. The only thing that helped was prolonged abstinence, but it is not easy to keep up long term or more than 4-5 weeks. Luckily last month, as I was eating dried pineapple fruit, I noticed a clear soothing effect on my pain, so after doing research on pineapple, I ordered bromelain and got incredible relief taking 3 or 4 daily capsules of 500mg bromelain at 2500gdu.

It's important to take bromelain on empty stomach away from meals.


Tomatoes

Let me just begin by saying that I have known for 20 years that something was not right with my prostate, you can feel when its not right. But I noticed just recently that the discomfort and symptoms have gone away entirely. I started searching my diet and trying to understand this. It took a few days before I realized what it was.

About 2 1/2 months ago I changed my breakfast habits. I started making breakfast burritos every morning and sometimes at lunch. Long story short my wife was in hospital and I was trying to simplify things. I had noticed that my burritos tasted a lot better with Pace picante sauce on them, and so I read the label and there was no sugar, corn syrup, or artificial ingredients, preservatives etc and that it was cheaper by the gallon Hmmm. So I started buying the medium heat picante sauce by the gallon and refilling my little glass pace jars.

I am starting the third gallon and I woke up the other morning and realized that even when I take my allergy meds with Pseudoephedrine in them that there was no discomfort. I also noticed there was no issues going to pee, Hmmm. Why?? I started searching and discovered why. Because of a ingredient in tomatoes called Lycopene. That is the only changes in diet I have made.

I eat at least a half cup of it a day almost every day. I'm a old member here at Earth Clinic and so I have been using lemon or lime and baking soda for maybe 10 years for my ph, Thanks to TED. It's been years since I have used the site. But I thought this to important not to share. I wasn't looking for a remedy, but I tripped over one by mistake. I found a remedy that works and didn't know it. When I realized I had healed myself I started looking for how. I could think of no better place to share it. Better save this one folks, It works.

Bragg's (Paul Bragg) is the founder of ACV and its benefits. It has the Mother in it, this is the most important ingredient in ACV, also organic is best. His books the Miracle of Fasting and Apple Cider Vinegar - The Miracle Health System helped me recover from Cancer, Heart Attack and premature aging. His books are amazing. Paul died Surf boarding accident in Hawaii in his 90's. He was diagnosed with TB at 14 y/o and survived. He opened the First Health Food Store in North America. I talked with Paul's daughter in the mid 90's, she was running the business then.


Cayenne
Posted by KT (Usa) on 04/22/2017

Dear Carolinablueskies5,

I am female and I take cayenne everyday. I started with 1/4 tsp. in about 1/2 C water until I could get use to the heat and now am up to 1/2 tsp. It does not irritate my stomach and it doesn't take long to tolerate the heat. Stirred briskly and chug...maybe chase with a little more water, getting the residue from inside the glass. I feel working from the inside is better than topical application.

Sometimes I add 1/4-1/2 tsp. ginger or turmeric. They both reduce inflammation, fight cancer and ginger is a natural antibiotic.

I wish you and husband well.

Love,

KT

as much FRESH cayanne as you can handle, as often as you can, it should be fresh, and in the mouth. Bypassing the tastebuds reduces effectivness greatly. Drying hurts its effectivness, but not as much as other processing. As long as it is dried naturally, and organic. My husband simply puts it on his food like regular pepper, every day. Or eats a fresh pepper every day.

Hi my husband has had an enlarged prostate for the past 3 months. It finally got to the stage where he was urinating every 30 minutes with very weak flow. At night he was having to urinate every 30 minutes to an hour. After 3 months he was exhausted and obviously stressed out. He was taking prostate eze (max) alternating with Prostate complex and Prostate Plus. Nothing was helping. 2 weeks ago I decided that enough was enough so I went on the attack. It was either that, medication and/or hospital. He took Ibuprofen for 5 days to reduce the swelling.

On day 5 he took 300mg of Beta Sistosterol, 25mg Zinc, 300mg Q10, Resveratrol, Vit B complex, Alpha Lipoic Acid and 1000mg of Vit. D. in the morning and 1 of the prostate tabs at night. He has done that for the past 2 weeks. The difference is incredible. The Ibuprophen reduced the swelling within 24 hours (it pays to use it very sparingly, long term use is dangerous) while the beta sitosterol increased the flow within 24 hours to what is normal for him. 6 weeks on and he is a totally different man. At 70 years old he is still working as a construction manager, climbing stairs and walking on scaffolding, he swears he hasn't been this well since his 30's. Cheers, marlane ellis. Geelong

In regards to all of the gentlemen who are suffering from prostate issues I'm aware the earth clinic is great for using natural cures. For those men and wives who care to do a little research, look into google , check out Roger Mason and his research regarding natural Prostate cures. His research found that conclusively the only people who have prostate issues are men who's testosterone levels are consistently low. It is the testosterone that controls estrogens that run amuk creating the prostate to grow.

Dark Chocolate for Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) weak urine stream and need to urinate frequently

My friend Burt (63) has BPH. As many as 90% of men in their 70s and 80s have enlarged prostates. Many men with BPH have no symptoms. In men with symptoms, the most common include needing to urinate frequently (during the day and night), weak urine stream, and leaking or dribbling of urine. These symptoms are called lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS).

I remember a book called “Dead Doctor's Don't Lie” by Dr JD Wallach. He said to eat 1 square of a dark chocolate bar every day for the next 2 months to improve urine flow. I told Burt about this so he decided to give it a try.

It's been over a month now and Burt came over and while we were talking, I asked how his BPH was. He said the dark chocolate daily has greatly improved his urine flow and he doesn't get up but once maybe twice during the nite now to go too the bathroom which is a great improvement. He is going to continue it for the next month to see if it improves more.

He was pleased with this simple remedy.


Grape Seed Extract

I was talking with a friend who told me he was having urinary tract issues. I asked him what type of issues he was having, to which he replied that he was having a hard time getting his urinary flow to get started, and then once it started, it stopped and started quite a bit or, as he put it, it was like Morse code. He further mentioned that he was having to urinate more often and even at night, Whereas previously, he usually slept through the night.

I told him that these symptoms are normally seen in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia(BPH), but he did not have a medical diagnosis as such. I suggested that he consider trying high dose Grape Seed Proanthocyanidin Extract (GSPE) for its anti inflammatory and antioxidative stress qualities. I asked him to keep me posted on how it worked for him.

He stopped by three weeks later and said he was back to normal! Here is the supplement he took at the recommended label dose each day.

I don't know if this will work for all men, but it definitely did work for him and very quickly!

D: It is becoming increasingly known that the regular or periodic use of Cranberry or D Mannose provides the necessary removal of pathogens in the U.T. that continually infect the prostate, resolving the issue of why so many conventional and alternative treatments weren't working.

Thank you for your article. I am a master of Applied Kinseiology through expertly applied muscle testing I literally"ask" the prostate gland specific questions or "challenges" to determine its exact condition and if negative can further determine the exact "fix" which is unique and different for every prostate gland.... Please don't misunderstand muscle testing it is an art and a SKILL that takes years to master. Without proper training and most important a tremendous amount of practical clinical experience/practice. Muscle testing is USELESS. Muscle testing properly applied is the most accurate diagnostic tool on the planet.

Mohel, I have had a chronic prostate condition for 30 years. (Not a misprint.) I want this to work. I did as you suggested about 5 hours ago. I will report back in 2 weeks since that was the time indicated to reduce enlargement. I will be the acid test. I hope this works!!! (I'm optimistic.)
