Prostatitis

Prostatitis  is  defined  as the inflammation of the prostate gland. A sudden or severe case  can result from infection such as gonorrhea. These are usually treated  and resolved with  antibiotics.  But there are millions of untreated cases of prostatitis. This is a travesty because prostatitis is the precursor of a life of prostate problems, including cancer.

Prostatitis  is  the  greatest  cause  of enlarged prostate (prostatic hypertrophy). It may also be the greatest cause of,  and is always  associated with, prostate cancer. Prostatitis  is  difficult to diagnose and  is  tough  to  treat.  This  is  especially  true for chronic prostatitis, a condition suffered by millions of men.
Picture
Diagnosis

When it comes to diagnosis, you must start with the PSA test. Since this condition can start in young men, all men starting at age 40 should begin PSA testing. If your PSA is equal to or greater than 1,  you  must consider that you  have  an  unhealthy prostate. Studies have shown that a PSA equal to or greater than  1  means  that  prostatitis  is  present 100% of the time. This can be verified by using a procedure  called  expressed prostatic secretions (EPS) .

 EPS  can be studied by finger manipulation of the prostate gland (milking the gland) for secretions. Identification of infection-fighting white cells within the prostate fluid confirms the diagnosis of prostatitis.  As  mentioned,  in  virtually  100%  of cases  with  a PSA  of  1  or greater,  prostatitis  is present. With this in mind, a whole new avenue of prostate treatment can be started and maintained to treat men with this condition.
Picture
Treatment Is Necessary

And here lies the rub. Prostatitis is remarkably difficult to treat. Except in acute cases which may respond to  antibiotics, for the most part chronic prostatitis  does  not respond well to these drugs. Like most chronic disease in the human body, the only  real  cure comes  from  within.  That means lifestyle,  diet,  and the right supplements are your only real chance for a cure.

A cure or at least stabilization is a must in cases of prostatitis.  The  most  cutting-edge prostate experts  now feel that this condition is  a definite cause of enlarged prostate.  The same experts are further convinced that this  condition  is  a strong precursor of prostate cancer later on. In fact, some experts feel that a PSA of 2 or greater indicates a high probability o f prostate cancer in the future.

So you are left with defining a treatment program that will  probably  last  a lifetime.  It must slowly but surely bring the PSA down to less than one. And it should relieve symptoms of prostatitis which are the same as prostate enlargement. You will  probably get little lasting results from  antibiotics,  so  an alternative treatment must be found and used by most males. In fact, any male over age 40  with  a PSA of 1  or  greater,  with  or without symptoms  or an  enlarged prostate,  should begin treatment.  This would be the greatest preventive therapy.

Without symptoms, enlarged prostate, or white cells in the EPS,-your only barometer of treatment success  will be the PSA blood test.  But for most men,  symptoms  will  clearly  indicate success  or failure of treatment, which can be confirmed by PSA testing. Remember that treatment is a chronic endeavor.  For whatever reason,  the prostate is resistant to treatment, and there are a whole host of treatments available. I am now convinced that any treatment for benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH) with a PSA of 1 or greater without also treating for prostatitis  is incomplete. This includes all the saw palmetto, et al.,  products  on the market.  This  is  a reversal of some of my previous  thoughts.  Considering that prostatitis is involved in 100% of cases with a PSA of  1  or greater,  any  other thinking would be frivolous and dangerous. Since there are no side effects from treatment of prostatitis, it makes sense to err on the side of caution, always treating for prostatitis under these conditions. And just what is available for this kind of therapy?
Treatment Options                                                                                                                                               
One relatively large and cutting edge group of urologists  has  put  together  a  non-drug  product called PEENUTS  for treating men with prostatitis. It is  made of antioxidants,  immune boosters,  anti-inflammatories,  and beta sitosterols  (the  main  ingredient of plants and herbs ,used for treating BPH). Most of this product is  synthetic, but the authors report that it is  the only product clinically  studied and  reported  to  lower PSA.(1)  You  can  get more information  on PEENUTS  at the Web  site www. peenuts.com. I have tested this product on a small number of patients and had poor results. Perhaps a dozen men was an insufficient number. Perhaps we made judgment too soon (one year).
Picture
 But based on this I began using my  own  protocol  and  have  gotten  better results  with both eliminating symptoms  and lowering PSA. For anyone with symptoms and a PSA of  1  or  greater,  I  use  the  following  protocol  of products  produced by Standard Process Labs:  Cataplex F , Immuplex. and Palmettoplex at a dose of three each daily. With more serious cases, I also include Thymex  and  Cataplex ACP at a dose  of three each daily. This protocol is  followed for one year with PSA testing at six month intervals. In the most severe cases  including cancer,  I increase the dose of Thymex and Cataplex ACP to six daily. If after six to nine months your symptoms are improving or gone and PSA is dropping or normal, the dosage can be cut to three each daily for Cataplex F and Palmettoplex and two daily for Immuplex.  For more  serious  or severe  cases,  Thymex and  Cataplex ACP  should be maintained  at two each  daily.  Cataplex  F is  unsaturated fatty  acids (vitamin F) and has been shown to effectively help men with BPH.(2) Immuplex, Thymex, and Cataplex ACP  have withstood the test of time  as  products shown to help people  with  chronic infections  and immune  problems.


Palmettoplex is a remarkable new product combining prostate protomorphogen,  raw herbal  extracts  and  phytonutrients,  amino  acids,  and minerals. Its herbal extracts include saw palmetto berry and powder which contain nine different fatty acids, steroids,  diterpenes, triterpenes, sesquiterpene,  and more to support prostate and male hormonal function.  Also included is  Stinging Nettle Root which contains plant sterols, lectans, phenolics,  and other phytochemicals  to  support urinary  health.  It also contains  Pygeum  which  contributes  phytosterols,
triterpenes,  and fatty  acids  needed for a healthy urinary tract. And it contains Lycopene from tomato. Some  research  shows  that this  phytochemical strengthens immune function, particularly related to the prostate.

In addition, Palmettoplex contains Zinc Liver Chelate.  Zinc  is  an  essential  factor  in  prostate health,  and this supplement contains  zinc naturally chelated with  liver extract. The  copper  and other minerals in the remaining protocol balance the zinc properly, unlike most other products or protocols. It also  contains  three  amino  acids which have been shown to be helpful to men with prostate problems ~Alanine,  Glutamine,  and Glycine.  All three of these amino acids are found in prostate fluids.

And finally Palmettoplex contains Prostate Protomorphogen.  Standard Process Labs is considered the world's  expert in the extraction of glandular protomorphogens.  These provide prostate  cells with  the specific raw materials  to support natural restoration,  repair,  and  regeneration.  In a fashion, protomorphogens  act to  direct  nutrition to  the particular gland from  which  they  are  extracted. (3) And it is the Prostate Protomorphogen, along with the  raw  processing  of all  ingredients  that only Standard Process  Labs  has  perfected,  that  sets Palmettoplex apart from all other products.
                                                                                                                                                                                   
Naturally this kind of therapy goes hand-in~I]and with a good diet of whole foods, a reduction in red meat and alcohol consumption, no smoking, a good supply  of pure water,  and plenty of exercise.  So even if you are only 40 years old, get a PSA test. If your PSA is  1  or greater,  start a prostate protocol. If you are older and your symptoms and numbers are worse, be sure to  start a protocol. Just resign yourself to  a chronic program that will slowly but surely normalize prostate function and reduce your odds of a prostate catastrophe.
