Dear Dr. Gott:
My 72-year-old husband has been seeing his urologist for several years for an enlarged prostate. He had burning during elimination, ran slight temperatures due to infections, and problems urinating due to the swelling.
At first, his PSA was 4.2. The urologist put him on Uroxatral. He continued to take saw palmetto and fish-oil capsules. His PSA gradually dropped to 3.7.
A friend told me about taking pumpkin-seed oil. My husband used it for six months. His PSA dropped to 3.1. My husband also explained that the burning sensation lessened quite a bit, there were no elevated temperatures, and elimination was easier. He doesn't have to return to his urologist for a year.
Perhaps this information can help someone with similar problems.
Dear Reader:
Pumpkin seeds are an excellent natural source of carbohydrates and amino and unsaturated fatty acids. They also contain calcium, potassium, phosphorous, niacin, most of the B vitamins, and C, D, E and K. They have been used by Native Americans for countless years for kidney problems and for elimination of intestinal parasites.
There are numerous sources claiming pumpkin seeds and oils benefit depression, cholesterol levels, prevent the formation of kidney stones and prostate and bladder issues, and improve bladder function.
Prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) is produced by the prostate gland. A normal range for blood testing is up to 4.0. An elevation does not necessarily indicate cancer. Many men with elevated
readings are found to have noncancerous conditions, such as prostatitis or benign prostate enlargement. Some medications can have an effect on readings.
I am passing your information on so others might be able to benefit. Thank you for sharing the information.
Write Dr. Gott c/o United Media, 200 Madison Ave. 4th floor, New York, NY 10016.
