Prostate helps, Olive oil and Honey !

One thing that helps, to not get up 2-3 times a night to pee, what I have been doing and it works. Is to take 1 Tbsp of olive oil, and 1 Tbsp of honey, before bed. I don't drink any thing after 8 PM and just pee before bed time, they around 5-6 Am when I get up. I used to get up 2 and sometimes 3 times at night. Now I sleep straight through all night. It was after the second to 3 day, and I do it every night now, works for me hope this help you :)

Regarding cranberry, lemon, ACV and BSM for Prostate

These juices are very acidic, and many people are put off from using them. Pity, as they are very effective for urinary, prostate, and many other problems.

Most users resort to loads of sugar to make them palatable, but that's a mistake. Sugar is nobody's friend. Cranberry cocktail is just loaded with sugar, which cancels the health benefits of the juice. You can find unsweetened straight cranberry juice at most stores.

So here's what I do. Dilute! I Have a 1 pint mug. Adding juice of a half a lemon, or a tablespoon of ACV or cranberry juice to a pint of water makes a pleasantly tart drink you can sip all day. If that's still too strong, dilute some more. You need the water anyhow.

Another problem cure is blackstrap molasses. Many find it too bitter. Again, dilute. For my coffee and many other uses, I cut it 50/50 with honey or maple syrup. Then it's delicious. Think ginger bread, or licorice candy. Part of their flavor comes from the BSM diluted with the other ingredients.

Don't miss out on the benefits of any of these powerful foods because you lack the imagination to find a way to like them.


Onion Juice

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.

Cayenne

In regards to your statement:

"For the past three days I am taking a 500 mg Cayenne pepper capsule three times a day.
Really, the difference is amazing. I am pissing a beer bottle stream in a relaxing mood."

Cayenne Pepper typically ranges between 30,000–50,000 Scoville heat units.
Would you please share with us the 'heat' of the Cayenne that you are taking? Thank You!

Years ago my DH & I had bought a bottle of Cayenne powder in capsules, but when we took it we each experienced what felt like a severe heart attack. (I think the capsule opened & didn't get mixed readily with the food, so sat in one place & caused serious irritation! )

My SIL had recently told me she had had a similarly unpleasant experience after taking an herb, & she had successfully diluted it by drinking a large glass or so of water. So that's what we did ... & thereafter we just mix the cayenne in with our food before eating!

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.

Hi...

Any man foregoing additional PSA testing for the possibility of cancer, realizes the anxiety that goes along with the waiting.

When 52 years old I took my first PSA test and it came back at a scant 0.8. However, I had been urinating quite a bit at night, so I went to a urologist to check. And yes, like half the men over 50, it turned out that I had an enlarged prostate. The Urologist ordered Adovert once a day, and low and behold my prostate shrunk down to normal. This took about 2 years on the drug.

I had not seen my Urologist for nearly 5 years. And I went in to my family doctor for routine blood work. My PSA came back at a heafty 2.2! Quite a change from my origianl .8.

But the questioned remained how fast did it rise from year to year. They call that PSA Velocity.

While on Adovert...it reduces a person PSA level by 50%. So over the years I was on the Adovert, my PSA always came back .3 or .5.

My Urologist was thinking about doing a biopsy if my next PSA test came back high again.

So I decided to see if I could bring my prostate back into health by using a number of methods mentioned on this forum.

This is what I did for 3 weeks before my latest PSA test...which came back today at 0.89! Every day for 3 weeks.

1. 1 to 1 Molassses to Baking Soda in 8 oz of water

2. Cayenne Pepper mixed in water .... twice a day...the hotter the cayenne the better.

3. Pomegranate Juice...organic no sugars added 16 oz a day

4. Curcumin - 3 capsules of 1, 200 mg daily

5. Grape Seed Extract and Milk Thistle 1 capsule daily

6. Selenium 1 capsule daily

7. Magnesium and Potassium to help with the baking soda

That's it...except I did take along a bottle of water with a Apple Cider Vinegar and Baking Soda mix and sipped through the day.

Yes...it seems like a lot to do. But, to take charge of my prostate condition...it was of little concern to me.

I will test again...and I will drop a few of the regimens I have been taking. Live more of a Macrobiotic lifestyle.

Contact me anytime, if anyone wants to know more. Thanks and best of health to you!

Apple Cider Vinegar
Posted by Zark (Emerald City, The Land Of Oz) on 11/11/2013

Two remedies for prostate issues that worked well for me and for others with prostate issues:

* Apple Cider Vinegar - 1 tbsp in a glass or juice, once or twice a day. Can increase the dose gradually later if necessary.

* Molasses & Baking Soda - this can knock over 2 birds with one stone based on the experiences of others, ie. both prostate enlargement AND prostate cancer. 1 tsp molasses, and 1 tsp baking soda. Increase dose gradually as necessary.

Can totally relate to the issues with doctors. They don't have time to really look into our health problems in detail anymore. You need to spend a lot of money or have a very caring doctor to get good quality care. Can't entirely blame them, they are typically over-worked & stressed.

3 weeks ago I began taking 4 teaspoons of ACV in 16 ounces of water a day, I see no signs of improvement. Do I need to take it for a longer time to see any effects?


Apple Cider Vinegar

I have similar problems, and can say for certain that this is a pelvic floor dysfunction. I've been working out in the gym for many years and still doing it and this contributed to my pelvic muscle problems.

Of course you don't have to work out to have such problems as well, it's connected to improper sitting poses, general anxiety, that goes along with unconscious muscle clenching. You won't find that information available on regular sites. I came a long way to find, been to many doctors took some medicine and nothing worked, finally discovered this site:

http://forum.hardflaccid.org/

Hard flaccid is a condition of turtling and hardening of ones penis. Fortunately I don't have this, but it is caused by unbalanced and stressed pelvic floor, and general muscle tightness. The same things that cause chronic prostatitis, erection problems and many, many more, even testicular torsion and infertility (testosterone production can be greatly reduced if tight muscles interfere with normal testicular and prostate function) varicoceles (psoas muscle is too tight or overgrown, as some on that site proved and cured their varicocele by physical therapy besides being convinced by doctors to undergo surgery)

People are generally unaware of problems caused by tight muscles, many peoples lives would be much happier if that knowledge was more widespread.

The way to recovery is long and you have to be very dedicated, but it is possible to recover for virtually everyone, I am doing it for two months and already see big improvement in my prostate problems, even my cold hands and feet became warmer recently (impaired muscle function can suppress circulation in the whole body as many experienced on that site)

So firstly I strongly recommend anybody with similar issues read this site thoroughly, take some notes, appoint a meeting to the pelvic floor therapist, start the trigger point release at home, go to yoga classes (it is extremely beneficial in such case especially bikram yoga as muscles loosen up in heat) and work on your body position during sitting, walking etc (yes even our walking patterns can influence pelvic floor) and what is the most important spread the information so more people could heal.

Dear Lonnie, If you haven't seen this Earth Clinic page yet, I think it will encourage you.

https://www.earthclinic.com/cures/enlarged-prostate-prostatitis.html

I think 1 T. Blackstrap Molasses twice a day sounds like a very safe and inexpensive cure. Also, the cayenne pepper - 1/4 t to 1/2 t. In water or juice twice a day. (This is spicy! I like it in Grape Juice. ) Let us know how it is working for you! ~Mama to Many~


Willow Herb Tea

Dear all Prostate sufferers, Please, listen to me. My husband had prostate surgery (no cancer) 6 years ago and he tried all the available supplements on the market expensive and sophisticated. Nothing has helped him as much as a Willow herb tea. This herb is not presented very well on North American market. It's very popular folk remedy in ancient Russia but today it's produced by some Hungarian origin company called Herbaria. Most Canadian health stores have one in tea form. In two days he felt much better with the urination. Such a relief!

Hope I'll help to somebody with this message.

Blackstrap Molasses
Posted by Mama To Many (Tn) on 11/19/2016

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.)

The other substance is baking soda. I heard about Vern thru another friend who knows him, and its baking soda 1:1 ratio, 1 teaspoon of blackstrap molasses and 1 teaspoon of baking soda mixed in water.

Pour 2 cups of boiling water of 1tbl corn silk let simmer for 5 min. strain and sweeten. Drink as often as desired.you can save the silk from the corn when you make corn-on-the-cob. Both recipes are for the prostate problems.

Oil of Oregano
Posted by Robert (LA) on 05/01/2026

Been having prostate issues for several years and didn't want to depend upon the meds my Dr.had prescribed.

Did some research and started with a small amount of almonds and walnuts daily which did help some. More research and found what I should have known to start: 2 drops of Oil of Oregano after breakfast and 2 more after dinner under the tongue. Has a mildly biting taste going down and doesn't last for more than a minute.

PSA showed 952. After two weeks, PSA was down to 594 and night time issues no longer existed. Dr. gave me a script for antibiotics that lasts for 6 weeks. I am going to stick with the Oil of Oregano instead.

hello world,

I use gorilla cherry (Prunus africana, the African cherry) daily and within days I saw great results. now im in my 3rd month and my urine stream is strong again. I use to sit or stand and have to wait till I started to urinate. my wife is also happier because my sex drive has increased. There are cool videos out there talking about how there is no prostate isuses with gorillas and the tribes near these trees. I also take 30mg of zinc and 2mg of chelated copper. as zinc is known to deplete copper.

♦ Essentiality of boron for healthy bones and joints ♦

About the Borax... I get my Boron in caps online. Good for arthritis. And most house plants. Boron deficient soil is a big reason for poor crop yields. Also take 1 Oz. ACV wi warm water daily for BPH. And Silodosin/Avodart daily. Also had the TURP conversation with my Urologist. On hold for now as I just finished a few months of passing bladder and kidney stones. Seem to be on the mend as the stones are now rare and like dust in the toilet bowl.

Pee flow rates are improving, and do not have to get up as often as before.


DMSO

Hi Luis, thank you for sharing your experience. When you said you rubbed the DMSO directly onto the glans, did you mean the prostate? How did you do that? Thanks, John

My husband had problems with urination in the night. I had heard that an enlarged prostrate had to do with a zinc deficiency. I had read that pumpkin seeds had a lot of zinc in them, so I bought a bag of pumpkin seeds. He's been eating them every evening for a snack and he said that after some weeks, he no longer has problems in the night.

Address Underlying Infection

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.

Randall, sorry didn't have the time to finish the last post, prostrate requires, zinc, don't do over 100mg a day, ( over 100mg a day can depress your immune system) boron, ( is used to make testosterone) manganese (for hormones) selenium, with the beta sitosterol, also 7KETO, is good for people who are prone to sugar or have sugar, it makes a testosterone that will not convert to dihydrotestosterone which is what causes enlarged prostrate. I've recently read that one of the causes is a vit C deficiency. Hope that helps


Lugol's Iodine
Posted by Wayne (Indiana) on 01/03/2014
★★★★★

I have a self diagnosed prostatitis problem. I decided to try applying lugol's iodine topically to the general area around the prostate. I determined this was a good way to try and kill the unwanted bacteria. I have been doing this for about a month I think. It seems to have given me some relief. I apply it in the morning and at night. It can dry out the skin and burn some. But its good effects out weigh the bad in my opinion.

Doctor David Brownstein has written several books concerning the thyroid and iodine you might research iodine to see what you are getting into. Because if your thyroid is not healthy or have hashimottos disease it could affect you. The iodine can irritate the thyroid if you have hashimottos disease. I believe a lot of people have a iodine deficiency but it can be tricky to try and use iodine.

Look up Lugols iodine on amazon and read the reviews some are pretty remarkable. Swansons website sells it along with amazon.

I was just wondering since both blackstrap molasses and ACV both seem to work if anyone has tried combining the two. It seems to me that the blackstrap mixed with the ACV would lessen the taste of the ACV and just wondering if anyone has tried this.


Apple Cider Vinegar
Posted by Edward Fontaine (Denver, Co) on 03/04/2015

Please do not try White Vinegar, it's great to clean with, it is not good to take. You can buy organic unfiltered ACV at any health store. At first it is very harsh to take straight up, you can take it with 8 oz. or so of warm water with honey, the honey will dissolve. Start with a tablespoon and work your way up to 2 tablespoons a day of acv.


Apple Cider Vinegar
Posted by Bushido (Greece) on 04/21/2021

We should never put honey in hot water. If the water/tea is more than 42 C, all the beneficial enzymes die. Lukewarm to warm is the best, 30-35 degrees Celsius.

Large glass of Cranberry Juice every day for rest of your life. And no more prostate problem. Older people should take 2 glasses a day. 1 when you wake up and 1 when you go to sleep.


Hydrogen Peroxide
Posted by Rafael (Panama City, Florida) on 08/30/2009

Iam 81 years old and have had BPH or what is commonly called an enlarged prostate for more than 20 years. I have taken all kinds of prostate-shrinking medications prescribed as well as undergone TURP surgery several times. All of these medications and procedures have done little to reduce the size of my prostate. Although the frequency of my urinating at night has decreased, there has been no significant shrinkage of my prostate.

I started taking 35% food grade Hydrogen peroxide more than 2 months ago. My question is, can H2O2 help in shrinking my prostate by attacking the cells responsible for enlarging it?

Thank you for allowing me to pose this question

Are you using a saline water? I read of using distilled water or reg. water with HP can cause physiological damage! You need to add salt to the water. To make your own saline solution, mix 1 tsp. of unprocessed salt(Himalayan salt, Celtic salt or Redmond's real salt) into a pint of distilled water. Then add your HP to whatever amt of saline water you use.
