I have chosen to eat that way .... for a few reasons.

( energy, muscle loss ( older folks) , digestion, )

Seems to work well for me .

Just watched this.

I think this guy is a cardiologist.

CIALIS appears to have other benefits besides ED .

1 - BPH

2 - May reduce risk of heart attacks by improving endothilial / arteries

Would need to research side effects first and safe dosing... and conflicts with other meds if you're on other meds.

ALWAYS when one googles these meds those "ugly side effects" are listed as "very rare" . hmmm Good news about Rezum, but only 3 years helpful . wow .

My symptoms have lessened significantly with the supplements i take (over a year now ) .

If you care to list your supplements .... I'd be interested. (or PM )

2 months still early.... keep going . I take around 50 mg lycopene daily ....saw palmetto....zinc .... and pumpkin seeds ( a good snack , put in air fryer for a few minutes) .

Prostagutt (Saw Palmetto and Stinging Nettle Root), Lycopene, Pygeum. For pumpkin seed I prefer them to shred into a pulverized form and add them to cereal.

Prostate is something that should concern us, and I keeping track on mine. So far at normal size and PSA 1,25

Don't make the mistake i did. I also had a very low PSA at every blood test..... therefore thinking that my prostate was just fine .

Thus the "surprise" when my urinary issues began, and "urgency" was a real wake-up call .

PSA does have some use in regards to possible cancer . It did not give any indication of my BPH (an enlarged bladder) . An ultrasound ( find a urologist that has one included in exam ) will reveal how large one's prostate is .

Often prostate size increases more rapidly after 60 !

I just had my first rectum exam, and it was normal, and I did the ultrasound check up at Bangkok Hospital a few years ago

Culture Who We Are -- Medicine

Medicine men and women still play a vital role in the lives of Seminole Indians. These special individuals do not replace medical doctors, nor are their "treatments" designed to take the place of organized medicine. Usually elders (or especially gifted young people) who have gained the respect of Tribal members, employ roots, herbs, animal parts and other ingredients of nature to treat a variety of physical and mental disorders.

Traditional chants and other customs, unexplained outside the Tribe, can also be important parts of the medicine man's technique.

i hope there are a few intelligent people on here who understand that finding contradictory "studies " on ANYTHING is as easy as clicking on google...Ai .

Everyone is free to do their own research and hopefully put their "beliefs" into actual practice , then post their personal experiences .

Battling google searches are really a waste of time .

some people have nothing better to do ....

I don't follow the advice of our "experts" due to the attrociously bad results of family members and friends, who decade after decade suffered in futility. My personal experience was developed by throwing a bunch of mud against the wall and seeing what stuck. Then doing more of what worked and less of what didn't.

I follow Antoine Bechamp's doctrine of health which was inspired by the Holy Bible, due to the positive permanent results acheived. The main concept is human health results from successfully combining the metaphysical realm with the physical which strengthens the signal of the Divine Hand, and by default full health.

How I put beliefs into action. I say a prayer, "Thank you God for blessing my body with health and vitality and making all body parts fully functional." Then I access God's gift, the fountain of living water, by filling up a glass and guzzling it down. This ritual ceremony combines the metaphysical realm with the physical realm strengthening the signal of the Divine Hand, which resets the human body back to the default setting of fully functioning health, as we were intended to be.

The Holy Bible calls the use of roots and plants in medicine hurtful and harmful. Specifically stating not to be ensnared in this demon sorcerors trap. The reason is it blocks the signal of the Divine Hand by fraudulently attributing the healing power to the root instead of the rightful source, God. By default, whether intended or not, following demon beliefs results in the destruction of your health and finances and quality of life. Following Divine Law works fantastically so you can get back to living life unimpeded by health ailments.

hmmm. well, i don't subscribe to following any one person or "doctrine" . life is fluid ( that thought just emerged from my own rumak brain ,) before i wandered over to AI who gave a surprisingly worthy response : " A fluid life embraces constant change, adaptation, and growth, allowing for the natural evolution of circumstances rather than forcing a rigid, predetermined path. This mindset encourages letting go of fixed expectations, finding lessons in challenges, and balancing future goals with present-moment awareness."

so....... i appreciate hearing other people's methods of transversing this journey . personally i am not into giving credit or worship to any "god" ...... but do have my unique method of madness , somehow mixing humor, humility, and honesty into some kind of spiritual search .

sometimes a nice homecooked meal and a good nights sleep helps a lot . I do, btw...... start the morning off with a glass of water .

note: i will check out this fellow Bechamp . aha : the terrain theory .
