Hey all,

My grandfather is considering having his enlarged prostrate removed. Is there anything he can do without going through a surgical procedure? I suggested a naturopath but he won't have anything to do with it. I need some literature to take him so he can read up on alternatives.

I am not sure if it is in the files or not but there was about 3 years ago a remedy of sorts called The Prostrate Massage.... I thought I had it saved but could not find it. It is an internal manual massage for like 5 minutes a day I believe to reduce swelling and releasing toxins... ANYONE??? Remember???? Also saw palmento is good.

Saw Palmetto is called the "plant catheter" due to its therapeutic effect on the neck of the bladder and the prostate in men. Saw Palmetto is widely used in Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom and now the U.S. for nutritionally benefiting the prostate and urinary tract..

The active constituents are volatile oil, steroidal saponin, tannins, and polysaccharides. Saw Palmetto is a tonic, and is one of the few herbal remedies that are considered to be anabolic - it strengthens and builds body tissues. For men it treats an enlarged and weakened prostate gland. It has shown significant action in treatment of conditions associated with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). Saw palmetto extract works to prevent testosterone from converting into dihydrotestosterone, the hormone thought to cause prostrate cells to multiply, leading to an enlarged prostate. It is chiefly used as a diuretic and to tone the bladder by improving urinary flow, and relieving strain. Regular use of saw palmetto may decrease

urinary frequency, especially during the night, by allowing complete bladder expulsion and reducing inflammation of the bladder and enlarged prostrateELIZABETH ELLIOTT <eliz3378 wrote:

PROSTATE FORMULAThis can be made into a tea or using the same mixture made into a tincture. Four parts Saw Palmetto BerryOne part Cleaver's HerbOne part Nettle Root (not the leaf)One part Thuja Leaf Mix all these herbs together as a tea. Soak them overnight and bring to the boil and simmer for 15 minutes (not more) Take six cups of tea per day. Add a couple of drops of the kidney/bladder Formula (see files) One could also make castor oil packs and place over the

prostrate. And, of course, hot and cold showers to get circulation to the area.
