Re: Prostatitis part 2 !

Hi hv. I posted awhile ago about prostatitis issue that I had. You recommended I try pollen , nettle + prostate formula to control excess dht.

After symptoms not resolving I took some antibiotics witch did a pretty good job at controlling symptoms 80-90 % but did not totally fixe the issue. Now I am off the antibiotics after a good 30 + days of treatment and symptoms are coming back. I would like to find a way to control symptoms and keep them from becoming worse until my immune system eventually rid me of the infections (if its not an inflammation)

If the antibiotics were helping then this points to this being at least in part to something other than elevated DHT.

My main symptoms are mostly . Dripping after urination, constant '' I have to go feeling'' with a bit of dripping on/off during the day witch is a really annoying. I have no pain or other symptoms that often comes with prostatitis yet, maybe weird orgasm if symptoms are really present....

I have also notice. I am not 100 % sure on this one but pretty positive that The nettle and the life extension prostate formula are making symptoms worse. Maybe because of some diuretics effect. I stopped the nettle and will back away from the prostate formula slowly and see if it gets a bit better.

Since my symptoms started a little while after I restarted the drug propecia at a low dose I am thinking that somehow my prostate got inflamated or irritated from the change in dht or simply from the drug. Thats why I am not sure inhibition of dht is something I should aim for at the moment. ( I am only 27 BTW)

I heard of a couple of things that may help but I wanted your opinion before giving it a go.

I heard about colloidal silver really helping some people and I am hoping it could have a similar effect to antibiotics. The question I have are :

IS this safe to take ?

I am not a big fan of colloidal silver.  It is way over hyped and many of the products on the market contain virtually no silver.  There is also the issue of some of the products not containing true colloids and some of the generators not producing true colloids.

Could I take it long term ?

If it is a true colloid then it would take a lot to create any problems.  If the silver is not a true colloid then it is not safe.

How much should I take ?

I don't even recommend taking it.

Wich one should I use ? These are my choices

I have not pain much attention to the products on the market because of the problems stated above.

And the other thing I heard about is Quercitin. Once again Is it safe and what amount could I take. I was looking at that one: http://www.iherb.com/Doctor-s-Best-Quercetin-Bromelain-180-Capsules/7?at=0

I do like quercetin a lot.  It has numerous beneficial properties.  I recommend 400-500mg of pure quercetin 3 times daily.  I don't recommend the blends with bromelain and vitamin C though.

Thx very much in advance for taking the time to answer question , it is really appreciated.

P.s I also have left over Pau d'arco extract for a tea but I know it is not meant for long term use. Is it ok to use right after antibiotics and could it be taken in combination with the other treatment listed here and for how long ?

Pau d' arco is safe long term and with the other treatments.

Happy New year

Thanks, Happy New Year to you as well.
