More Natural Treatment Options For BPH
Pumpkin
Seeds
Not enough can
be said about the healing power of pumpkin seeds! It seems
hard to believe, doesn’t it? Why do these little seeds
have such a profound effect on prostate problems?
Did you know
that pumpkin seeds contain fatty oil that is a natural
diuretic? The medical community scoffs at the idea that
increased urine flow may have anything to do with an increase
in urine flow. However, in addition to being a natural
diuretic, these seeds contain as much as eight milligrams
of zinc equivalent to a half cup per serving!
Some doctors
recommend taking 60 milligrams of zinc each day as part
of the regimen to combat BPH! However, make certain you
are in contact with your regular physician because this
amount is way more than the daily value.
The point is
studies have proven that zinc reduces the size of an enlarged
prostate.
Those little
pumpkin seeds are high in the amino acids: alanine, glycine
and glutamic acid.
According to
recent study men who were taking the supplements of these
amino acids with a dose of 200 milligrams each day, BPH
symptoms showed significant relief.
Saw
Palmetto
Did you know
that after Proscar was approved by the FDA, that agency
banned all nonprescription drugs for BPH? According to
Varro Tyler, Ph.D., dean and professor emeritus of pharmacognosy
(natural product pharmacy) at Purdue University in West
Lafayette, Indiana, the ban was initiated for two reasons.
First, the FDA purported that there was no credible evidence
to show that any over the counter (OTC) products were effective
in the treatment of BPH. Second, the agency also expressed
a viewpoint that those who used OTCs might put off getting
proper treatment while their disease worsened.
“What the FDA
overlooked,” says Dr. Tyler, “was the considerable evidence
in Western Europe that certain phytomedicinals (plant based
medicines) are effective in treating BPH and that people
using them experience an appreciable increase in their
comfort level. Perhaps the most popular of these is saw
palmetto. The beneficial effects include increased urinary
flow, reduced residual urine and decreased frequency of
urination.”
Saw palmetto
can be found in southeastern states. It is a small palm
tree. The Seminole Indians ate the seeds as food. Who knows?
Maybe they found it helped their urinary problems.
The reason it
works is because it contains a compound that turns testosterone
into dihydrotestosterone thus preventing the transformation
of the testosterone. It is exactly the same way that Proscar
works, but in a different way.
Half a dozen
studies have proven saw palmetto as an effective treatment.
In one of them, a clinical trial of more than 2000 German
men with BPH received substantial easing of PBH symptoms
after a daily does of one to two grams of saw palmetto
seeds.
It is interesting
to note, Science News reports, “30% of all American men
have undiagnosed prostate cancer by age 60-but the incidence
is only about 1% among Arctic Intuit men of the same age
group.” It is believed that this is a result of a diet
high in fish oil. This may be something to consider in
your own diet.
