Pumpkin Seeds, Prostate Cure

 

 

 

 

I would like to pass along a reference

from James Dukes book which confirms that pumpkin seeds are the

traditional treatment for BPH in Bulgaria, Turkey and the Ukraine.

 

In Dr. James Duke's book " The Green Pharmacy " he writes at length

about the positive effects of pumpkin seeds in relationship to BPH.

 

He writes... " The fatty oil in pumpkins seeds is a powerful diuretic.

They also contain chemicals called Cucerbitacins that appear to

prevent some transformation of testosterone into

dihydrotestosterone. " Dihydrotestosterone stimulates prostate cell

proliferation, which can create greater enlargement of the gland. "

 

" Pumpkin seeds also contain as much as eight mgs of zinc per one-

half

cup serving. Zinc has been shown to reduce the size of the prostate

by inhibiting the conversion of testosterone into

dihydrotestosterone.

Additionally, pumpkin seeds are loaded with specific amino acids,

including alanine, glycine and glutamic acid. As little as 200 mgs

of

each of these important amino acids have been shown

to " significantly

relieve BPH symptoms. "

 

A one-half cup serving of pumpkin seeds can have 1,150 to 1,245 mgs

of alanine, 1,800 to 1,930 mgs of glycine and 4,315 to 4,635 mgs of

glutamic acid. That adds up to 5 to 20 times the typical doctor's

daily recommendations!

 

Dr. Duke recommends a handful of pumpkin seeds each day along with

saw palmetto if you have been diagnosed with BPH.

 

A good recommendation for anyone who has a history of prostate

problems in their family I would think!

 

Take Care,

JoAnn
