I’ve just come across this site for the first time this evening, so I apologize if I’m not following protocol, etc.. Anyway, I just wanted to give my two cents on this Prostatitis. I don’t typically respond to these types of things, but since I’ve learned so much about this via the internet I’m taking that time to type up a bit of what I’ve learned; I hope that if you are interested in ridding yourself of this problem that you’ll take the time to read and search about a bit on the subject. You’ll find that there is a wealth of information on this subject, provided you get on the correct track.
I’m 33 and finally realized that I’ve been living with varying degrees of Prostatitis for a couple of years or so. Aside from my battles with allergies, I’m in pretty good shape, not over weight, exercise, sleep well (I do now), don’t drink too often, don’t over eat too often, etc., but still got hit with something that typically comes on later in life -- Prostatitis. A Dr. put me on Hytrin (sp?) and it did seem to help, although it prevented me from sleeping, affected my sexual performance, and made me jumpy for some reason. I’ve heard that these Alpha or Beta or whatever blockers are not good for you (especially if your blood pressure is already pretty low, such as mine).
I believe that I’ve got it figured out for myself. I can now understand and can control my Prostatitis. I’ve boiled it down to two things, two very large things: what I eat (or don’t) and taking a couple of supplements. I take Beta-sistosterol each day, avoid as much fat, sugars, spicy foods, and milk as possible and combine that with eating as much veggies as I can stomach … I hate veggies. That’s it. Most reading that I’ve done supports what I’ve just said.
Roger Mason seems to be some Dr. who advocates Macrobiotics (sp?), has written a number of health books, and seems to be attached to a particular website. MacroBiotics is basically a way of eating whole, healthy foods and much more. Mason wrote a book entitled NATURAL PROSTATE CURE and I got it for free I ordered a bottle of Beta-sistosterol supplements randomly from his site. Like many of you, I had tried pumpkin seeds, different herbs or teas and even a couple of different other prostate supplements, none of which really did it for me. To be honest, I wasn’t really holding out much hope for this stuff that I ordered up from Mason’s site, but we have to keep trying.
So, basically I take 3 pills during the course of a day (instead of the suggested 2) and try to eat as much greens and whole rice as possible each day. The added benefit is that I feel better, sleep better, and if I eat a lot of greens, stay off the
Sugar and caffeine, etc., my allergies don’t bother me at all – quite a statement considering that I’ve taken allergy medication every single day for the past 20 years.
When on track, my pain and ‘swelling’ is down, my urinations better and much less frequent, and I don’t wake a single time during the night. As I said in the beginning, I don’t always follow my own advice, and when I don’t I hit the toilette that much more often. The key for me is that I think that I’ve found a short-term solution through this modified diet and supplements; the long-term solution *for me* is to go 100% MacroBiotic diet – a way to cure yourself of many illnesses, including cancers. If you don’t believe, read up on it. It is strict, but it’ll save your or a loved one’s life.
If you are serious about this give these supplements and the diet a week. I can’t say that you’ll notice the diff, but I sure as hell did in about 4 days, and that’s enough for me.

If you’ve been diagnosed with any form of cancer or have been suggest radical surgery or drugs, spend a couple days looking about at this macrobiotic stuff, it’ll blow you away. The Kusi Institute seems to be the granddaddy of them all.
