Effective Natural Remedies for Enlarged Prostate Relief

Been using Saw Palmetto since my early fifties to keep my prostate healthy. Now in my mid-sixties and add a zinc supplement in addition to the SP. Combo working very well thus far.

I hear onion juice, taken in a quantity of 33cl, three times at 21 days interval each can destroy all toxins in the prostate.

After the 3 doses, you do not take it again until after 10 years. No water should be added to the pounded onions. After the pounding you collect it in a neat cloth and squeeze the juice into a glass and drink on an empty stomach. 8 0nions could be pounded.

Hi. I would recommend saw palmetto, nettle root, lycopene, and zinc as a good aid against prostatitis, enlarged prostate, and all the problems related to it. I tried it in a supplement called Regen50.

Try changing to more of an alkaline diet- eat more fruit and veggies, less fat and animal products. Beans and nuts are good plant protein! It's also called A whole food, plant based diet and it cures many health problems! Good luck!

Vernon, I'm interested in finding out what the other ingredient is that you mixed in with the BSM for cancer that spread to the bones please. Sincerely appreciate any information or advice you can give me. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Jim

The blackstrap molasses was giving me weight gain so I switched to corn silk concentrate drops and ACV mixed and am doing even better

What's the other substance, cbd oil or Apple cider vinegar?

House of herbs blackstrap molasses: I mix a tablespoon per each cup of my coffee I drink two cups a day...coffee aggravates the prostate, the less the better...

I got a friend to apple cider vinegar and blackstrap molasses who is on finasteride for prostate enlargement and was only sleeping 3 hr stretches. He is up to 6 hrs in a few days.

I read about this and added a heaping tsp of vitamin c crystals to the Apple cider vinegar and blackstrap molasses and after a week or so it's working wonders. It started working by the 2nd day and I was very bad off.

use Guinea Hen Weed (Anamu), it will bring down PSA.

Apple Cider Vinegar remedy for BPH, prostatitis or enlarged prostate symptoms:

I hadn't heard of using Apple Cider Vinegar before reading it here and I'm so thankful! Thank you to everyone that posted about it!

After taking 2 tablespoons of organic ACV in about a 1/4 cup of water with a little agave nectar (you could use honey or a little sugar) every morning before eating anything, I've noticed a huge difference! It's so much easier to start and the flow is much much better! Yeah it doesn't taste all that great but the benefits are totally worth it!!

Just to test things out, I stopped taking the ACV for 1 day about 4 days after starting to use it and all the bad symptoms came back. Once I resumed my morning regiment, it all turned around again! This stuff really does work, for me anyway, and I encourage anyone else to give it a try...it couldn't hurt.

Everybody's different of course so if it doesn't work for you right away, I'd suggest giving it a try for at least a week. Apparently there are a bunch of other health benefits from taking ACV that I've read; lowing blood pressure, weight loss, better food digestion and more efficient mineral absorption, to name a few.

Cheers!

Drink your Apple Cider Vinegar with a straw, it's a lot easier on the teeth.

Luis, what DMSO do you use. Buy off Amazon, Ebay. Where did you get yours. And it is the DMSO 70 percent 30% distilled water? Thanks in advance Luis

I have been using ACV now for two weeks and taking a cap full (tablespoon) to 2oz of water three times a day. Morning, Noon and before bed. I have to say after ready this and looking back...it's help me not pee as much at night, no dribble afterwards either as well as not starting and stopping. I was actually just taking it to cleanse or detox my body plus try to raise my PH because I was told it does that too.

I swear I started organic Apple Cider Vinegar a week ago for weight loss. I am surprised what it has done for my prostate. No more dribble in my pants after peeing. I am actually shocked at how well it worked.

Not sure weigh loss is helped but prostate is under control for sure. I am 48.

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!!!!

My prostate has been growing slowly and steadily since I was in my late 40's, and now am 66. My urologist has insisted I have cancer, even after 4 negative biopsies (36 pokes). And I have been through the usual meds like Avodart, Proscar, and Flomax. Incidentally, they ALL have side effects even though the urologist will say that is highly unlikely. They are wrong. Urologists drive me nuts. Their business model is drugs and surgery. Neither one is good for you. They don't know a thing about nutrition and generally don't believe it is a factor in BPH.

Things got so bad in the last year I had to have a catheter and learn how to do it myself. Miserable. My prostate was getting bigger and bigger and PSA had climbed to over 30. But my other prostate markers were very normal.....a 'soft' prostate, low PCA-3 scores, negative biopsies, etc. It was a real puzzle.

I have read the experiences of others here with interest. I tried most of them. I did get a little bit of mileage out of apple cider vinegar (ACV).

Here is what ultimately helped me BIG TIME:

The Budwig anti-cancer meal. It is essentially a lot of organic flaxseed oil with organic cottage cheese. Here is the link: https://www.cancertutor.com/budwig/. I use Barlean's organic flaxseed oil with the cottage cheese. Not only will it help your prostate but will cut your risk of cancer to almost nothing IMHO.

This has really helped. Because of these dietary changes I no longer need to use a catheter. My suspicion is that all of us have to deal with inflammation in our bodies. Try this Budwig anti-cancer concoction; it is easy to make. The oil will cool off the inflammation that is probably driving BPH. Incidentally, I had an MRI and there was NO cancer; just a prostate about the size of Mount Rushmore.

Also, I take a TBS of cod liver oil every day, or every other day. That is good for inflammation also.

Lastly, STAY AWAY from commercial pastries and foods with MSG. The sugar and MSG and salt will cause tissue to swell. Do NOT eat the peanuts on Southwest Airlines; they have heavily salted with MSG (read the package). Eat food that is NOT processed; you will be better for it. Make a green 'smoothie' in your blender and drink a half glass every day. Make it out of kale and frozen fruit. You can get it at Costco for not much money. Greens are so very good for all of us.

Green drinks, lots of omega 3's in the Budwig diet, and staying away from heavily salted, commercial foods and pastries will help you big time. I found that I didn't need the drugs or surgery if I was willing to change my diet in key areas.

That is what has helped me. And good luck!

Would you please tell me why should this juice be kept frozen until usage? Thanks

I would like to know the dosage of Cayenne pepper to use for prostate. Thank you.

Hi Lou, to answer your question: I personally would take about 20 drops to get 50mg of iodine/iodide (20mg iodine, 30mg iodide). Initially I would need to start smaller, with about 5 drops and work up.

If you get any of the issues I mentioned (due to its oxidating action) then take Vit C as an antioxidant.

I had started mixing my Vit C with my Lugol's to prevent issues and that worked like a charm. Doing this turns the iodine to iodide, but also makes it less potent. In the end I just switched to potassium iodide. Many people seem to have no issues with Lugol's, I guess I'm qute sensitive.

Right now I'm taking about 10-12 drops of super saturated potassium iodide (SSKI) per day. That's about 500-600mg potassium iodide (KI), or about 375-450mg of iodine. I mix it in with my drink - orange mango flavour seems to mask the iodine fairly well.

BUT Lugol's Iodine is much stronger mg for mg and I don't actually like the effect it has on me: headaches, sores in my mouth, mouth/throat infections (because it kills off friendlier flora). That's why I use potassium iodide (KI).

-- How much iodine per drop? --

SSKI :

1g KI per ml of SSKI

1 drop SSKI = about 50mg KI

1 drop SSKI = 37.5 Iodine (75% x KI)

"Calculating Number of MG's of Iodine and Iodide per Drop of Lugol's Solution: LUGOL'S 2%: Each VERTICAL "metric" drop (= 1/20ml) is approximately1.0 mg of iodine and 2.0 mg of potassium iodide. The Iodide portion of Potassium Iodide is about 75% so that is 1.5 mg. Therefore the total Iodine plus Iodide is 1.0 + 1.5 = 2.5 mg and 2 drops is about 5.0 mg's of iodine/iodide (2.0 mg iodine, 3.0 mg iodide). "

Do you mean cranberry supplements and D-Mannose or unsweetened cranberry juice?

I think he's referring to Kombucha tea.

My Lugol's is a 2% solution. So how would you recommend doing this? Some drops in water? If so, how many drops of lugols? Also, can it be applied topically for prostate issues?

My husband was extremely constipated because his bladder pushed up the intestines, thereby constipating him. The ER staff kept pushing Miralax. It contains petroleum. We are not putting that into our bodies. I made him a turkey dinner, with my mom's ethnic stuffing (lots of garlic). He doesn't have that problem now!

I have been diagnosed with a swollen prostate a couple days ago. My doctor has given me Flowmax to be used once per day.

Can someone tell me of other remedies to reduce the swelling.

Thanks, Krishna

I need to join the conversation as I have been recently diagnosed with a swollen prostate of 55.

My present medication is Flowmax, I am 65 years old.

I read that a daily aspirin reduces PSA levels.

David, my hubby wants to know do you have more info about avc & tomatoes eaten together. Do you eat it right away or allow it to marinate for little while. Do you have a link to share where more details can be read? Thank you

You are right. Sodium is always a problem for hypertensive people despite the fact that many people consider it to be very good for so many things.

I always substitute sodium with potassium, so in this case I'd use Potassium Bicarbonate instead of baking soda.

Hi Jim, I've been on Flomax for the last 4 years and for years before that I was on various generic tamsulosins. Flomax works best for me.

However, I have tried various 'cures' over the years, including sawpalmetto but nothing works apart from pumpkin seeds that I blitz into a smoothie with a teaspoon of turmeric, cinnamon, maca powder and crushed linseeds. I say 'worked' but that just means I don't get up in the night like I used to.

My urologist tried me on finasteride for a year but it made no difference. I was glad to get off it. I've had all the various tests and he told me that TURP is next on the list so I told him bollox to all that, I'm not taking the knife.

Anyway, I'm happy to stay as I am on Flomax, which I take at 10pm and I get a good nights sleep. BUT, I'm still searching for the elixir that makes Flomax redundant so I bought some ACV and a kilo of borax which I've made a measured diluted drink with.

I am investigating avenues like K2 and D3 and garnicea. I'll come back on here with the results in the future.

I am 77 and everything works so fingers crossed mate.

Best,

Chris.

My psa level is 13. How I can bring down using apple cder vinegar and is there any other item I should use it as treatment for postrate problem. I am aged 82 years.

I keep an empty plastic detergent container with the large opening by the bed so I don't have to run to the restroom.

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.

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.

Trust me, watermelon does a great job. If you can finish a complete ball of watermelon you will be highly relieved. It suppresses BPH though you may have to repeat it when next you feel symptoms. In my own case, it suppressed it for about 5 weeks after eating a ball in two days.

Heinz now has a organic ACV/w mother and so does Whitehouse. I prefer Braggs.

Use only organic, unfiltered ACV / with mother

Dear Carolinablueskies,

I am able to find raw organic unsalted pumpkin seeds at Costco. I would imagine Whole Foods or Trader Joe's would have them if you have either near to you.

~Mama to Many~

WERE YOU ABLE TO FIND UNSALTED PUMPKIN SEEDS? We love pumpkin seeds, but stopped buying the ones at Dollar General & food Lion bc of they are salty. Thank you.

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

Richard, would you please give more details how you do this? My hubby wants & needs to know. Thank you

Will,

I expect you understand the significance of high prostate specific antigen. CANCER . I have felt my own gland digitally and found no bumps on it, neither did my Dr some months later. But I had a normal low psa reading. I just have frequent voiding to cope with and found last 3 days that 2 large spoons of apple cider vinegar fixed it at least for now. If you can feel a bump, pay the money and get it fixed. In the meantime go on high vitamin D. Good luck, Jim

Have taken 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar in glass of hot water for the last 3 mornings upon waking.

I am 74 and have an enlarged prostate. Dr has had me on doxazosin to relax prostate and bladder muscle. That works well but made me weary, weak, sleepy and dropped my blood pressure down to 90/60.Then he had me cut dose back to 1/2 pill (2.5 mg) and added finasteride to shrink prostate by stopping production of dihydrotestosterone. But that hormone is what makes a male horny. While on it I had nil libido, which did not bother my wife, but I hated it. Have stopped taking both for a week now.

Apple cider vinegar last 3 mornings, seems to work for me. Only had one pee upon rising and another at 1100 after drinking tea and decaff coffee. And sleeping from 2200 to 0500. Used to wake up at least once, sometimes twice for a pee.Great now.

Corn husk and corn silk are different things, can someone clarify this post from 2007?

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.)

Hey, Richard. I love the idea. Since oral dosing only produces increased urine frequency. (Both AVC and cayenne.) How is the "paste" working for you?

I've been using an iodine supplement and found it to be highly effective. When I have a bad attack (painful urination and even sometimes blood) all I need to do is take about 50-70mg of liquid iodine and that fixes it up quickly. Best part is that I am certain it addresses the underlying cause - which is most likely fungal.

How to take:

Firstly you should choose an iodine preparation that is intended for internal use. "Lugol's Iodine" is NOT a brand, it is a type of preparation named after the French physician J.G.A. Lugol, and this one is safe for internal use. I don't recommend tincture of iodine as this one contains alcohol - but if you are stuck and in an emergency this will work.

Secondly, be mindful of strength. Most preparations have about 50mcg (this equals 0.05mg). The "mcg" means micrograms, and this is an extremely weak preparation. I need about 5mg (5 milligrams) before I find it to be medicinal for the prostate, that's 5000mcg, or 1000 drops of the extremely weak preparation.

Products that use the "Lugol's" preparation are typically 6.25mg per drop (5% Lugol's solution). That is more than 100 times stronger than the weak iodine supplements on the market.

To cure prostate issues, as stated previously, requires about 50-70 mg of iodine taken once a day. I take it in the middle of the night (or you could take it several hours after food so as not to upset digestion). In the morning I take a probiotic, preferrably one with more than 10 strains.

Expect other pleasant benefits from this - such as improved memory, concentration, and in my case my sense of smell is returning. The latter was caused by chronic rhinitis that I've had ever since I was a young child, and that's some 30 odd years ago!

Remember, Lugol's is not a brand, he is a physician who standardized this preparation.

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.

Do you also squeeze like your trying to hold pee in at the same time? (ie. squeezing the prostate)

Why bother with the whole digestion.? I am for doing tropical treatment say Glycerin with cayenne pepper applied near the prostate area. It can absorbed through the skin. no hassle with the stomach.....

However, cayenne powder is much lighter than either of these substances. 1 average tsp of cayenne powder is the equivalent of 2000 milligrams.

Years ago, a good friend of mine, C.W. Smith, who also happened to be an amazing doctor of chiropractic, recommended the following combination to me: equal parts organic apple cider vinegar, raw honey, and black strap molasses. You mix it together in a glass jar and then you cover the top with cheese-cloth secured into place with a rubber band. You mix a tablespoon each day with hot water and drink it like a tea. The longer it sits (preferably a year or more), the better it is for you. The reasoning behind that is that the longer it sits the more the vinegar helps to pre-digest the other ingredients. It is good for your blood, and so much more.

Yes, half of Radish a day works good for improve urine flow and evacuates the bladder well. I eat this every late after noon and feel comfortable for night sleep. I am 65, have enlarged prostate having size 35 gms about

This summer I am going to try Tea of Corn silk which is also heard to be reducing swelling of prostate. Corn is available during summer months.....so I shall try this summer.

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.

Dr. King....

No dont use heinz, use organic Apple Cider Vinager with the mother!

Great it's working for you, but I'd like to hear a follow up. Two days is not long enough of a trial time to write this as a cure.

I have slept better the last two days with three doses of the ACV. So glad I found this.Thanks to all.

You wouldn't happen to have a copy of that pdf file on the nettles, would you? The link isn't working and I can't seem to access the main site either. :-/ My dog also has BPH (with cysts - does yours have cysts also?) and I'm trying to find things to help him with it. I'm currently using horsetail herb decoction mixed in with his food, but the more the better!

I suffered a chronic prostatitis with abdominal pain and frequent urination for three months. I think it was due to retaining ejaculation for an excessive time. A urologist recommended me a prostate massage (after a negative urine culture and test) and a batch of a couple of antibiotics for two weeks I did not experience any improvement and I stayed the same.

On my own I started doing abdominal exercises by lifting my legs and bringing them to my chest. This greatly moderated abdominal pain.

Without a solution in sight, and already without hope, on my own I experienced drinking a teaspoon of DMSO 70%, and at the same time I was massaging the pubis with this liquid. I began to feel better from the first session, with reduced pain and moderation of urine at night.

Afterwards, I then decided to rub the liquid directly into the glans first in the nights, and then in the mornings too, after asepsis with soap and water, and then the relief was quicker. Today in the fourth month since the onset of chronic prostatitis I am free of it.

Yesterday I had the prostate antigen PSA taken and the result was 1.6, excellent for a man 65 years old.

Constipation is usually caused by antibiotics destroying microbiome; fermented foods & probiotics can help restore it. The more strains, the better.

Dear Keith,

Some people find that Blackstrap taken in coffee works well for them; it would be worth a try.

If the iron from the blackstrap is what helps with enlarged prostrate though, I don't think it will work. Either the coffee or cream affect the iron absorption. (I was taking blackstrap in coffee and it did not help me when I was anemic.)

~Mama to Many~

May the Blackstrap Molasses be taken with coffee and creamer and still help with an enlarged prostate?

I would like to know how you are doing to date with the cayyene pepper treatment

Hello Michael, do you take it straight or mix it with something. I am 70 years old now and have the same symptoms you had.
