There are so many Americans particularly, who suffer with prostate issues after age 50 and there is a simple explanation for it if you look at it through the lens of health and wellness. In this article, we will examine just what causes prostate dysfunction and how to bring it back to a healthy state. Are you ready? Let’s begin with a definition.
The prostate consists of 3 lobes which manufacture seminal fluid. The tube which empties the bladder passes over the middle lobe. In later life, the prostate gland often becomes enlarged and causes problems by closing off the exit of urine from the bladder. This urine retention often starts by a decrease in the force of the stream of urine leaving the body. Prostate blockage of the flow of urine because of infection or cancer can be very serious — even to the point of causing uremic poisoning within the body. The cause of enlargement of the prostate gland is the collection of mucus and sediment in the gland. Often the male hormones produced by the body are not enough to keep the prostate gland functioning well. The nitrates and nitrites in processed meats, hot dogs, baloney, and other cold cuts have a particularly important role in the formation of cancer of the prostate in the male. This may not be the best news to those of you who love your chili cheese dogs, but it’s valuable information nevertheless.
Processed Meat and the Prostate: The preservatives which are put into the hot dogs, baloney, and corned beef, are potassium nitrate and similar compounds which destroy the prostate gland in 55% of the male population of the world. At one time, these chemicals were used in black powder and rocket fuel, and to decrease the sexual libido of mental patients. Now men pay for it in their canned beef. Then they pay to have their prostate gland surgically removed.
Nitrates are not your friend. So, consider, how many nitrates you have consumed by the time you reach the age of fifty and you can bet you’ve got a truck load that has passed through that Earth Suit of yours. Mucous is the next offender. Mucous is the number one problem with most people and can easily be controlled by changing your diet from one of a processed, dairy and meat eating frenzy, to one of a balanced mucous free diet consisting of fresh vegetables, fruits, grains, nuts and seeds. Notice that in that list there are no hot dogs, hamburgers, or four egg omelets. Now, in all honesty, I will confess that I crave the occasional egg burrito made with black beans and other yummy veggies thrown in there. When this happens I don’t go overboard, allow myself to enjoy that burrito, then continue with a mucous free diet as if it never happened. This may happen, once a month. Our bodies, when given the nutrient dense foods its needs and pure distilled water to flush toxins and clean and clear the system, can deal with the occasional mucous forming foods and eliminate them easily.
But let’s contrast that with the “typical” American day. Breakfast: Bacon, Sausage, or other breakfast meat, eggs (maybe with added cheese), bread of some type and a beverage. Or they skip breakfast altogether and just hit it hard at lunch time. A good alternative to this would be a slow cooked whole grain cereal (balances the blood sugar and fills you up) with some fresh berries or fruit of sometime, fresh fruit juice or Turmeric Milk made with coconut or almond milk. Before you consume any of that, drink a nice cup of 1 Tbls Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 Tbls raw local honey in some warm water.
You will notice such a difference in your energy level almost immediately. I think you are probably getting the idea now. Take a look at each of your meals and snacks during the day and see how you can improve the quality of what you are putting into your body. Let’s move on.
Before you go under the knife….
Before (or instead of) arriving at the decision to submit to the knife and have the prostate gland surgically removed, may we offer the following suggestions: In any form of cell-deterioration, the blood stream should be cleaned. Of course, the bowel must be cleared up first and foremost. Then, as a specific aid to the prostate area the following formula has aided in removing infection, sediment and the like. This is a formula designed for the male urinary tract and is a good place to start when clearing out sediment and strengthening the urinary tract. MUT Formula: Cayenne, ginger, golden seal root, gravel root, juniper berries, parsley root or herb, uva ursi herb, and ginseng root. This can be taken in the morning and at night, and is best taken with parsley tea chaser. Change the diet to the mucusless diet, and drink plenty of distilled water and fruit and vegetable juices. This formula is adapted from a formula created by Dr. Christopher and may be obtained online at www.crookedhouseherbals.com/shop.
The “C” word
There is no need to fear cancer. It must have food to exist and thrive. Therefore, your first task is to clean up your system and keep it clean. Cancerous tumors have a very difficult time growing when there is the presence of organic potassium in the body, so the tinctures of black walnut or elderberry or any other foods high in potassium can be helpful here, providing that the bowel is in good condition so that proper assimilation can take place. Are you beginning to see a pattern yet? Yep, it’s simple and most of the responsibility lies with you. It’s time to stop expecting outside allopathic doctors to fix the mess you have made of your own body. Sorry if that sounds harsh, just trying to drive home the fact that we are responsible for our own health, wellness and ultimately happiness.
Moving on….
Remember we said that mucous and sediment are the main causes of prostate dysfunction and decline. Gravel Root is used principally as a therapeutic agent for the urinary-genital areas, influencing the kidneys, liver, bladder, prostate gland and uterus. It relaxes moderately, stimulates, and tones the pelvic viscera and mucous membranes (helping to cast off any sediments that have settled on surfaces). It is good when used alone, or in combination with other herbs. Its popularity (note the name) has been due to its powerful solvent effect on stony deposits in the kidneys (here it can do the work alone, but its effects are improved with other herbal agents in combination). Gravel root is one of the greatest herbs to use for any kidney and urinary problem, and it is also great as a tonic and stimulant. As a nervine, it is reputed to influence the entire sympathetic nervous system.
Let’s recap –
Prostate issues are a cumulative problem that may be reversed naturally with a change in diet and some herbal supplements. However, it is important to remember that herbal therapies are natural and work in conjunction with your body and its systems, and how quickly you see results will depend upon how healthy your other systems are (bowels, blood stream etc.). The key is to move in that direction and keep going. You will most likely see health and strength coming back to other areas of your body and mind as you drop the toxic food intake and feed your body with helpful aids such as apple cider vinegar. Joint pain is likely to lessen, mental clarity will improve etc.

Some other helpful herbs…
Before we say goodbye, let’s just quickly talk about a few other helpful herbs.
Alfalfa: Frank Bower conducted many interesting experiments with Alfalfa. Three hundred soldiers at Sawtelle, California, used the Alfalfa tea with remarkable improvement in bladder, prostate and other problems. [UW-Alfalfa]
Kelp: Kelp is also recommended to tone the prostate gland. It improves the nutrition of the organ and the circulation of the blood through the tissues. It is necessary to take the herbal aid over a period of time to get the results, however. A seventy-year-old man was saved having a prostate operation through the persistent use of Kelp. [UW-Kelp]
Zinc: In a youngster, normal growth and sexual maturity cannot proceed without sufficient zinc. If you are having muscle cramps, slow healing of wounds, poor absorption in the small intestine, or prostate gland disorders, you may have a zinc deficiency.
Chaparral is a great way to obtain manganese, copper and zinc in a concentrated form. When the Creator ordained herbs for the use of man, it was to eliminate unnecessary guesswork and laboratory work with regard to the needs of the human body.
Pumpkin Seeds: The pumpkin seed has given much relief to prostate problems.
Go boldly and conquer! We hope this article has provided you with some helpful information as well as encouraged you to take charge of your health and return your body back to the healthy state in which it is designed to live. Get that spring back in your step and live your best life ever! Remember, Nature Heals You Best!
