Our family doctor told me I may have either BPH or Prostatitis. What kind of supplements and natural foods?

Question

should I be taking now? I hear I should take Saw Palmetto (whatever that is) and Zinc. Are there any others?

What about tomatoes? I am finding contradicting info on this. Some say it's good for the prostate, and others say it's bad

Answer 1

Take zinc tablets (50mg to 60mg) for 3 to 6 months.

Then take one tab every 2 weeks once symptoms have gone away.

I've never had to actually try this, but when I was in med school a guy from China told me about it. Apparently it's an ancient Chinese treatment/cure.

Saw Palmetto is good. Buy it at any drugstore. Other possibilities include -

Flaxseed oil

Ginseng

Lycopene

Vitamin B6

Pygeum Africanum PLUS Stinging Nettles

Vitamin E (400 IU)

Selenium (200 mcg)
