Information on Benign Prostatic HypertrophyDescription Benign prostatic hypertrophy is a growth of prostate which may result in bladder outlet obstruction. It is a universal pathologic phenomenon seen in older men (50% of men over the age of 50; and 80% of men over the age of 70). Causes The exact etiology (cause) is unknown, but evidence suggests BPH arises from a systemic hormonal alteration which may or may not act in combination with growth factors stimulating stromal or glandular hyperplasia Risk factors for BPH include: Intact testes (BPH rare in eunuchs); and Aging (BPH is rare in men under the age of 40 years). No dietary, environmental, or sexual practices have been implicated yet. Conventional Labs BPH is a pathologic diagnosis - lab data is only suggestive. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) may be elevated but usually < 10 ng/mL (10 g/L). Urinalysis shows pyuria and pH changes due to chronic residual urine. Urine culture is positive (sometimes due to chronic residual urine). Increased post-void residual (> 100 cc). Elevated serum creatinine (if obstructive uropathy present). Specialty Lab Tests Products to consider Natural Therapies Most natural health web sites put a list of herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements along with citations from scientific studies. Have you found this to be confusing, since there are so many to choose from? A far simpler way is to choose a supplement from the appropriate body system, such as liver support, detoxification, etc. A well formulated supplement works a lot better than separate vitamins and usually costs a lot less. Please call me at (239) 659-2684 if you would like some assistance in choosing an appropriate product. I can't diagnose or treat diseases by phone, but I can assist you in making better choices. I also can send some relevant articles to read. The first ten minutes are free (as long as you purchase from my web site). |
The next step, after you have been diagnosed with a disease, is to find out what is the specific cause, and then choose supplements that address it. Phone consults are my specialty. Please call my at (239) 659-2684 to schedule a consultation.
I recommend that you make an informed choice, and the goal of this web site is to provide you with the information to make a wise choice when it comes to your health and wellness.
As you can see, I don't sell any vitamins on this web site. There are thousands of vitamin stores that will sell you whatever vitamin you want, and many of them offer discounts.
If you are interested in some high-quality basic nutritional supplements, I recommend visiting the Store You will find my recommendations for a multiple, tasty chewable fiber wafers, high-potency probiotics, and fish oils.
Good luck in your journey towards health and wellness!!
Unfortunately, that would be a clear violation of FDA regulations. Also, one of the most important aspect of naturopathy is: "Treat the person, not the disease". This is a profound statement, and many people have spent thousands of dollars on vitamins listed in books or web sites for a specific disease. This is what I call "vending machine medicine". It rarely works! The solution is to find a naturopathic physician, such as myself, to assist you.
