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.
Jerry G,
I agree; you can cut the dosage; your 3 mg dose sounds good; and you can take all of these, and long term too, as they are all food.
Congratulations on your success in controlling your BPH and prostatitis!
I did read somewhere that Boron decreases your SHBG, and therefore increases your Free Testosterone.
> the effects of Boron on testosterone are really amazing.
> I lost 14 lbs of fat and gained muscle and feel strong.
Congrats on your success!
What you're saying is **amazing** because you have succeeded where I seemed to have failed.
I used to buy and take Boron, in 3 mg-sized capsules, I used to take one capsule a day. However, after about 90 days - or was it 180 days? - I stopped taking Boron, because I felt it wasn't doing anything for me.
May I have a couple of questions for you?
How did you do it? That positive effect on your Testosterone and Estradiol is exactly what I'm looking for. One possibility is that it worked for you was because you worked your way up to 9 mg for one month?
Another possibility is that you did cycle Boron, 2 weeks on and 1 week off... maybe that was the key in your success?
Another possibility is the product itself... did you get your Boron in those standardized 3 mg capsules that health food stores tend to sell? Or did you buy your Boron in bulk?

Hi RB,
It could be that I took boron for a month and increased from 3mgs to 9mgs. From what I've read if you take it for too long or too much and don't cycle it 2wks on and 1 wk off it will do the opposite by increasing estridol and decreasing testosterone.
Also, the one I took is a complex containing (boron citrate/aspartate/glycinate @3mg capsule. It also has 25mg of vitamin B2 to help absorb it.
Thanks for reading my post and I hope it helps I know the symptoms of this condition are no fun. Also the bee products did give me some relief before I started the boron. But it really improved after I started it.

Update : Im still taking all of my original post but have switched from boron to maca a 6x extract on amazon it balances hormones in men and women you only have to take 1/4 tsp. once a day because it's so concentrated.Also after doing more research because I still had a slight burning while urinating once in awhile, the article I read was saying that most men in my generation of" free love" have candida infection of the prostate and bladder that antibiotics can't touch! The natural treatment I found is 500 mgs of Monolaurin made from coconuts 2x a day morning and night for 30 days it worked! No burning and my stream improved also, went from good to very good . Hope this helps someone!

The maca I'm taking now is Inca's Gold black maca and I've added Terrasoul Red Reishi mushroom powder . The dosage you have to adjust by the effects, I take 1/4 teaspoon of maca and 1/3 tsp. of the Red Reishi .

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!

Randall, you'll end up with tarps, if you don't start taking what works. 800 mg of beta sitosterol you can get it from amazon, new you vitamins makes a good one, 3 bottles of 90 caps each for $29

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

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

Hi Marlane. Glad this is working for your husband. I would like to add that maybe some elevation of the bed might help as well (for the getting up in the middle of the night several times a night to go to bathroom) You can accomplish this by placing say maybe two bricks or a concrete block, really anything (books, boards, etc. )to raise the head board of the bed 3 to 6 inches off the floor. This is a type of incline bed therapy and has been used by some to reduce the amount going to urinate through out the night.

Hi anon thanks for your post. My husband is completely well now he sleeps through the night and has no problems at all urinating, I am convinced it was the Beta Sitosterol. His urine flow returned to normal within 48 hours of taking it for the first time. Although the other nutrients like the Q10 etc. Must have helped. Anyway thank you for your interest, I just hope we never have to go through that again. If we do at least I know how to deal with it. Cheers and take care. Marlane
Multiple Supplements
★★★★★
This is how I did it. Firstly, Like everyone else, I did my research. On my condition and on medications, supplements and surgeries. Once I gained all knowledge, I started treating it with supplements.
This consisted of....... Saw palmetto (2 pills 450mg each. Taken morning, noon and night. Curcumin 3 times a day. Lycopene 10mg twice a day..morning and night (with food) L-glutamine powder....one scoop added to a glass of water. Essential Zinc...one pill a day. Apple cider vinegar...two tablespoons per glass of water. ....3 times a day.
This has literally shrunk my prostate. My pee stream is a lot better (85% better) I wake up once now during the night instead of 5 times. My urethra could still be more dilated and am thinking of taking Nitric Oxide for that.
Hope this helps you guys as I know from experience that this condition has also a negative psychological affect.

So sorry, I forgot another important thing that I do for enlarged prostate.
During my research, I discovered a company called “Butt Candy”. Yes, you read that right… lol Basically, they make suppositories that are made with supplements that you put up your butt. They were pretty expensive and I thought, I could make my own. And I did. I thought I should attack my prostate issues from both ends, orally and anally. This is how I do it. Very simple and easy. I use coconut oil (organic only). I use 3 heap tablespoons of coconut oil in a coffee cup. Add the same supplements that I mentioned in my earlier post. All the supplements are either in powder form in capsules or oils, so easy as you just open the capsules and pour into the coconut oil. I also add (which you don't have to do) black seed oil (about 30 drops) And the oil from Lycopene soft gel supplement. I put in the microwave for about 12 seconds till it melts the coconut oil and you mix everything together then I pour it into silicone Ice tray. Not the conventional square shape, but a shape that will be easy to slide up your Butt canal. Mine looks like a kit-Kat stick shape I've tray. Perfect size and shape to slide in. After pouring your solution into the ice tray, place in freezer to set and before bed, slide one in. I believe in combating the problem from both ends. The results have been amazing.

Olive Oil, 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 :)
Onion Juice
★★★★★
Onions are a very powerful cure. If you have a juicer, 4 medium size onions are enough. Prepare yourself --- it is not tasty. Prepare yourself --- you will possibly see a significant decrease in symptoms the next morning --- I did.
Onion Juice
★★★★★
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.

Psyllium

Unexpected side effects for me included the complete relief of menopausal type hormone flucuations and hot flashes because of the fact that the fiber binds to excess hormones like estrogen and escorts them safely out of the system before they can have side effects. For this reason I would recommend it to anyone who was suffering from hormone related cancers including prostate. It may also help in chemo therapy to bind to the toxins of the drugs that are used and to help remove dead cancer cells from the body. Also pysllium can be a lifesaver when a bout of food poisoning or flu occurs because it binds with the toxins that are the byproduct of the offending bad virus or bacterias. For ANY use of pysllium husks , make sure that after your body becomes healthy and regular, see if you can't wean down on the number of capsules you take by substituting high amounts of quality fruit and vegtables into your diet, then let your body have a complete pysllium break and see how you do. You may have fixed the problem. For some of us who are allergic to many grains we just can't get enough fiber into our normal diet and need to add a little extra. Another help has been to add additional enzymes like bromelain and papaya, to the diet to help properly break down foods and repair intestinal damage. It is important to note that pysllium is NOT a laxative and that your body does not develope a dependency on it, but it DOES bind to vitamins, minerals, and medicines so for that reason is best taken on an empty stomach at leaast 2 hours after food or medicine is ingested, and at least an hour before you eat again.
VERY IMPORTANT: Drink at least one extra 8 oz. glass of water for every 2 capsules taken!

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.
