My Father With Prostate Issues

Posted by Rebel (Somewhere, Usa) on 09/10/2012

Hi everyone. I wanted to know if anyone would have an idea of what maybe going on with my fathers prostate. He was having burning and getting up several times a night. I got two old broken bricks and put underneath his head board without telling him... This did seem to keep him from getting up as many times as before.

He had been to the doctor a year ago and his PSA level was like 4.85, chloresterol levels where up and blood pressure was up. He had done nothing to correct this at this point. But with the burning and everything, I suggested that he take the 4 herb tea Essiac up to four times a day. I purchased and began to brew and he was drinking up to 4 times daily.

So when he went back to the doctor EVERYTHING had improved except the PSA level, which went to 7.65. He ( my father ) had concern that it might be the tea raising it, but chose to keep taking it. His doctor recommended he go see a urologist and 6 weeks later he is seeing the specialist that tested his PSA level... And in 6 weeks it went to 9.85. So he stopped the tea and is now taking antibiotics that the doctor put him on and will be going for a biopsy in a few days.

The thing I am so confused about is everything on his blood work improved, except the PSA level... Maybe the tea was killing the cancer and the PSA levels were higher, I just don't know. But the doctor bragged about his blood pressure, chloresterol, and triglycerides being alot lower. To the point he did not want him to take meds for those conditions anymore.

I tried to get him to take baking soda, borax and zinc and do some of the things Ted recommends, but he has chosen the medical route. I can't say I blame him... Because it is his health and body and ultimately his decision.

I should mention that my father is 71 and was on the 4 herb tea for only about 6 to 8 weeks prior to his 1st doctors appointment when his PSA first went up from 4.85 and then it was about three months on the tea when the uroligist seen him. I also encouraged my dad to change his diet, to no avail. He loves his dairy and hamburgers.

For your fathers prostate issue, you dont have to go furthur than "Cayenne Pepper"It causes the cancer cells to go into aphosis. All men in their eighties have a small amount of prostate cancer but its usually a slow growing form and we usually die of something else before it gets us. If you google Cayenne and prostate you'll find some good scientific info. You can get the cayenne in capsule form. But I have no problem taking it smeared into butter on a sandwich. Its the heat of the cayenne that causes the cancer cells to die off so the hotter the better theirs a scale, but I just use the stuff from the spice isle.

Hi Rebel, I do know what you mean about your father not wanting to change his diet. My dad is 80 and is very much like that too. Anyway, would he be willing to go to an acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese medicine route? My acupuncturist would always talk to me about how the prostate goes through phases and different aspects about it which were very different views from the western point of view. I know Chinese herbs helped both my dad and my husband with their prostate. Anyway, it's a thought. Lisa

Just wanted to update everyone, on my father's condition. Now at 74, he has had a surgery to shrink his prostate and the biopsy was all clear. No signs of cancer at all. His prostate had become the size of a grapefruit and they don't know why, other than it was a real bad infection that would not go away. This was affecting his urinating as well as obstructing his bowels. His kidneys begin to fail and he could not eat. This is one time that the medical doctors did a good thing.

Rebel, always Nice to hear good news. Has your dad been drinking Cranberry Juice for the kidney infection? Taking any Stinging Nettles for the prostate? These, plus some Zinc & Palmetto should speed recovery plus decrease the chance of a return to worse.

Please tell your father to eat Pumpkin seeds, this is an easy terrific cure. Make sure they are free of salt. Someone posted the cure here and I can't believe it! Just one ounce a day will do. My brother started doing this and he rants and raves about this cure he still can't believe it, . He ate a lot more than an ounce but is sooooo happy. Good luck to your dad and God always bless him.
