Peter and group,
My BPH related to prostate enlargement has taken a turn for the better. Approx size 40 gm Feb'03 Vs 63 in '99. The DRE was smooth w/o any discomfort.
I used to keep a jar in the car, NO LONGER.
Could not postpone urination, by KEGELING I'm now able to.
Currently: Erections not holding, dribbling, bladder not emptying, no sex, are issues I continue battling.
Coincidence, the dribbling started after ingesting 1 1/2 bottles of epilobium (I say the ethanol did it, Art disagrees.)
The reduction of the prostate inflammation may be attributed to:
Exercise 2-3 times weekly, a)Cottage Cheese+FlaxOil+Flaxseed Grounded+pumpkin seeds+almonds+brazils,daily. Somedays without the seeds&nuts.
Teas: b)PauDArco, Green. Either caffeine free or non, I avoid Decaf. Prostate massages (no fluids produced, haven't given up yet)
I avoid 90% of the time: Acid foods, tomatoes, limes, spicy salsas, hard liquor, carbonated drinks, MSG, carrageenan.
I have been selective on what I eat & drink, although I cheat on occasions.
My last peeing episode was this AM @ 08:25, it's now noon.
For breakfast had a)& b) plus one banana.
Overall, my health has improved, and that's saying a whole lot.
The buddy system always works,I wouldn't go out 1/2 mile out in the ocean free diving w/o someone else present.
If not for the fellowship of these two sites: Pralt-Discuss & FlaxSeed2 I would have succumbed to my family's wishes.
(biopsies, medications)
Forever grateful
Ramon

Ramon -
the mechanisms of 'standard' urinary incontinence and BPH
seem to be a bit different.
I have BPH plus a non-aggressive prostate cancer; I tried
several of the allopathic UI medicines - no success at all.
Regards
Peter
