Prostatitis

Overview

Prostatitis is a condition characterized by chronic infection and/or inflammation of the prostate gland. It primarily occurs in males age 20 to 50, although it can occur at any age.

Note: Conventional medicine typically treats cases of prostatitis using antibiotics. Not only can such drugs cause various side effects, they are also completely ineffective for treating prostatitis that is not due to bacterial infection.

Types of Prostatitis

There are two types of prostatitis—chronic and acute. Chronic prostatitis, as its name suggests, is on-going or recurring, while acute prostatitis tends to be more passing in nature.

Symptoms of both acute and chronic prostatitis typically involve tenderness and pain in the prostate gland that can be accompanied by lower back pain, chills, fatigue, fever, and/or blood or pus in the urine. In some cases, the flow of urine can also become obstructed, similar to what happens in cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). When this happens, there is a risk of kidney problems developing, including kidney failure. Prostatitis can also cause or exacerbate impotence, as well as pain in the anus and genitals.

Other symptoms include pain and/or a burning sensation during urination, as well as a discharge of pus from the penis following bowel movements. Symptoms can range from mild to severe, and, in cases of chronic prostatitis, can also be intermittent, flaring up and then disappearing before flaring up again a few days or weeks later.

Caution: In most cases, symptoms of chronic prostatitis are less severe than those of acute prostatitis, which can lead men to ignore them and forego proper treatment. This can be dangerous because, left untreated, chronic prostatitis can lead to more severe complications, such as epididymitis (an inflammation of the epididymis, the tube that runs along the back of the testicles) and orchitis (a painful swelling of the testicles), as well as complete bladder obstruction and prostate stones.

Factors that can cause prostatitis include bacterial infection, especially from E. coli bacteria, and fungal, parasite (Chlamydia) and viral infections. Bacterial infections are most commonly the cause of acute prostatitis, while fungi, parasites, and viruses are most often associated with chronic prostatitis.

Other potential causes include food allergies, chronic low-grade dehydration, poor diet, nutritional deficiencies, autoimmune disorders, and prostate enlargement (BPH). Some men may also develop prostatitis as a result of frequent sexual activity, especially with multiple partners, since frequent sex can cause vital enzymes and nutrients such as zinc, which are necessary to keep the male urinary tract sterilized, to become depleted in the prostate gland. Alcohol, caffeine, and the regular consumption of spicy foods can also result in prostatitis.

Prevention

Prevention is the best approach for dealing with BPH, as well as for all other male health conditions associated with the prostate and male sex organs. This includes having a regular (yearly) physical examination with both a digital rectal exam and, for men over 40, a blood test to determine your PSA (prostate specific antigen) score, which screens for signs of prostate enlargement. (Note: The PSA test is also commonly used to screen for prostate cancer, but in recent years has been found to be ineffective for this purpose, to the point where even its developer no longer recommends that it be used as a marker for prostate cancer.) Other useful diagnostic tests you can consider, depending on your symptoms, include urinalysis, ultrasound, and other blood tests that can help determine you immune status. Hormone testing should also be considered for all men over 40 years old.

Other preventive measures include eating a healthy diet, proper nutritional supplementation, and regular (at least three times per week) exercise. In addition, practice safe sex, using a condom to avoid infection.

Get screened for food allergies and sensitivities, and then avoid eating those foods you are allergic or sensitive to. Allergy testing, NAET

Increase liquids such as filtered water, fresh vegetable and fruit juices, and immune enhancing herbal teas like astragalus (a Chinese herb) or nettle (8-10 cups per day).

Drink water with the juice of one fresh squeezed lemon upon rising and before going to bed.

If your abscess is chronic, eat plenty of organic berries (fresh or frozen) or drink berry leaf teas.

Include plenty of steamed leafy green vegetables and sea vegetables into your diet to ensure a good supply of vitamins and minerals needed for healing.

Eat fresh pineapple, it contains bromelain, which is very effective at reducing inflammation.

Eliminate all stressor foods from your diet, especially refined sugars, fried foods and alcohol for at least two weeks.

The following all contribute to a poor diet and will slow down the healing process so also adhere to this list:

  • Do not consume any artificial sweeteners, such as Splenda, NutraSweet or Aspartame
  • Do not consume high fructose corn syrup or mono-sodium glutamate.
  • Do not drink any carbonated beverages.
  • Avoid all fast food restaurants.
  • Avoid all canned food.
  • Eliminate conventional dairy products. The best dairy products are raw, unpasteurised and homogenised dairy from grass fed cows. If this is unavailable, then buy organic dairy.
  • Avoid conventional beef. The best beef is organic grass fed beef.

Supplements:

  • The following nutrients are useful for treating abscess and can be used in combination with each other: vitamin A (50,000 IU for two weeks), beta carotene (100,000 IU for two weeks), B-complex vitamin formula, vitamin C (5-10 grams daily), and zinc (60 mg daily for two weeks).
  • Take Alli-C (super powerful antibacterial, anti-fungal and anti-parasite garlic capsules) – 4 capsules three times a day should be taken for the entire four months.  1 capsule is the equivalent to 40 cloves of garlic (without the breath to go with it).
  • Additional supplements that can be considered include liquid chlorophyll and proteolytic enzymes (taken on an empty stomach).
  • Take Vitamin D3 50,000-100,000 International Units a day nc.vitaminstrength.com for periods of 4 weeks at a time to fight infection in the body.
  • Take a good probiotic such as FiveLac – one packet three times a day to support healthy intestinal flora.
  • Wholefood supplements are the best way of ensuring your nutritional needs are met. The best we know on the market is Kevin Trudeau’s “KT Daily” product.  You can find more details here

Prescription and non-prescription medication

What non-prescription and prescription drugs are you taking?  Your non-prescription and prescription are partially the reason that you have this illness or disease – you need to get off these medications but do so only under the guidance of a licensed health care practitioner.

We know that when the body is out of balance, energy doesn’t flow, leading blockages and eventually disease. Here are some things you can do to combat stress and restore balance:
