Prostate Health

Prostate Conditions
Natural supplement, herbs and homeopathic remedies for men suffering from prostate conditions including benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).

Medical science is unclear on exactly what causes BPH. However, it is a part of aging and believed to occur with changes in hormone levels such as testosterone, estrogen and a derivative of testosterone, called dihydrotestosterone (DHT).

A recent theory points to another possible cause of prostate enlargement: oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is caused by free radicals, a group of highly reactive atoms that steal electrons from other atoms causing chain reactions of destruction to cells and tissues.

This hypothesis also extends to a reduction of blood flow through small veins and capillaries that deliver nutrients and oxygen to tissues. Inflammation of these micro vessels result in reduced blood-flow.

What is the root source of oxidative stress and inflammation?
The origin is toxins are in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. The most devastating are heavy metal toxins such as lead, mercury, cadmium, aluminum, nickel and arsenic. All around us in our industrialized society, they are stored or stockpiled in our deep tissues and bones.

Heavy metals cause oxidative stress, cell damage, inflammation, and their build-up continues with age. Since no tissue is immune to them, the prostate is very vulnerable and can eventually become enlarged, develop into prostatitis or even prostate cancer.

My research staff and I wanted to address this underlying cause, reduce the oxidative damage and see if we could relieve BPH symptoms, and we did!

Reducing Oxidative Stress Due to Toxins & Heavy Metals
To overcome the toxic metal load on the body and remove the toxic burden we recommend a number of steps.

1. Testing - if you suspect heavy metals do one of our heavy metal tests. We recommend Toxic & Total Element Test.
   
   
2. Detoxing Heavy Metals - if you wish to remove the heavy metals from your body follow one of our heavy metal detox protocols. 
   
   We recommend some combination Kelatox and DMSA Synergy.
   
   
3. Consultation - if you would like our help setting up your individual program.
