Introducing A New Breakthrough Product for EVERY Man Over 40 . . .
If you are a male over 40 and don't already
suffer from a prostate gland disorder, the odds are 2 to 1 that
you will before you are 59. By the age
of 65 most American men have enlarged prostates.
Recently, musician Frank Zappa died from prostate
growth. He was only in his fifties. As the prostate enlarges,
sexual performance declines and often becomes quite painful. Many
men become totally impotent as a result, and some experience the
added embarrassment of incontinence (uncontrolled wetting).
The New York Times reported recently that American men spend $3
BILLION DOLLARS annually on prostate surgery. Frequently, the
prostate becomes
tumorous and requires surgical intervention. For men, the third
most common site for a growth is the prostate gland.
In Europe, doctors are not as prescription drug and surgery oriented, but prefer natural medicines. Their success in deterring and relieving prostate problems had been so much higher that almost 90% of the doctors in Germany won't even consider American-style drugs.
The First Sign of Danger
Researchers say millions of men are living with prostate problems
and don't know it. The first sign is the need to urinate frequently
during the night.
Then that progresses to a slight pain or burning sensation during
urination, or difficulty starting or stopping urine flow.
Because the symptoms are vague, nearly 90% of all prostate growths go undetected until they have spread beyond the most easily treated stage.
Three Types of Prostate Disorders
The three most common problems associated with the prostate are
infection, enlargement and growths. Infection usually starts in
some other part of the body and travels to the prostate. An infected
prostate will swell and block the flow of urine through the urethra,
which causes a backup in the bladder. The bladder then becomes
infected and passes the infection to the kidneys.
Enlargement is normally caused by a reduced
production of the major male hormone (testosterone), which declines
after you pass the age of 40. Other
hormones are thus increased, causing an overproduction of cells
in the prostate gland. This type of enlargement also constricts
the urethra and causes the bladder and kidneys to become infected.
Growths also enlarge the prostate due to the fast multiplication of abnormal cells.
Surgery Not Best Answer
As we all know, doctors are surgery happy, but surgery often results
in further complications, mainly impotence and incontinence. However,
if you
have a growth, there may be no other choice -except chemotherapy,
which may have equally detrimental side effects.
Even the newest prescription drugs have had
limited success in reducing an enlarged prostate. Some of the
side effects of these drugs are almost as
bad as the prostate disorder itself.
Many doctors feel that an enlarged prostate can be treated or deterred by giving the gland the nutrition it lacks.
