Zinc prevents prostate enlargement
[QUOTE=HonoluluYobo;3244664]I am just curious, if any monger (especially the ones, over the age of 40) that has been going to the AMP's on a weekly, or more frequently basis, has had any problems with their Prostate gland (cancer, enlarged, etc.).
I am just thinking if it is a case of, use it, or lose it.[/QUOTE]Hey, the doctors already booked a schedule to surgically removed my enlarged prostate 8 years ago. But I did some research and found out in a vast majority of cases, enlarged prostate is caused by lack of Zinc.
So it was about 8 weeks before the surgery and I took up to 800 mg of 50 mg Zinc tables a day with food, then came back 5 weeks later for pre-operation exam. The doctor was surprised it was back to Normal size and canceled the surgery! I have to maintain a daily dose of about 300 mg each day of Zinc to keep it normal or else it'll come back. I also found out that those who had their prostate removed on the average live 5-7 years less then those who don't.
No bullshit, allot of what doctors perscribe is just Zinc based products but charge you an arm and leg. It only costs about $2. 30 per bottle of 100 50 mg tablets.
Testosterone Replacement Therapy
[QUOTE=Blake123;3267067]Their testosterone replacement therapy definitely increases the testosterone level but not everyone will have the same outcomes as your friend. It affects different people in different ways. It is expensive at about $2000 annually. Probably cheaper getting the therapy shots from your doctor.[/QUOTE]The increase in testosterone levels comes with a side effect: the testicles atrophy or shrink. Their job of producing testosterone is taken over by the injections--no need for them to do what nature put them there to do.

Go see a urologist. Really.
[QUOTE=Blake123;3270633]Much cheaper than the UMC price. Thanks much for the info. I have an appt with my doc soon.[/QUOTE]A doctor is a doctor.
But a dick doctor is what we're talking about here, eh? Boys, there are risks associated with taking T boosting treatments. But the guy 'selling' them to you will be less inclined to tell you all that.
Here's a question. Has anybody gone to this clinic and taken a test and been told, "Bra your T is fine. No need. Good bye. " I would guess EVERY guy walking in there is told, "You have low T!" What a surprise.
I've been seeing my urologist at Straub for years. My family has a history of prostrate cancer. So I've been monitoring all my PSA's every 6 months and my GP doctor watches all my other blood chemistry levels. Been doing this about 6 years now. I initially walked in there asking about my 'low T' and wondering. After initial blood work my urologist told me my level was normal for my age. Of course I could take T treatments and increase the level and increase the risk of expediting any prostrate cancer issues. I decided to pass.
My brother is the same as me, decided to take T treatments and his PSA's went off the scale. Other problems too. Suffice to say, nothing is without risks.
I don't want to get on anyone's case. This is just my 2 cents. But be careful. There was comments earlier that the clinic in town does not (or did not) have a urologist on staff. What? Isn't that a prerequisite for having this kind of clinic?
I've suffered from issues common to those with prostrate cancer related problems. But I'm still healthy and PSA test still have me in a safe range. I don't take T supplements upon my doctor's advice. The urologist I see at Straub is one of the best in the nation. His recommendation to me, "Not really worth it, costs, increasing other risk issues, while solving others. Take your pick. ".
So, my solution is a steady diet of blue pills "as needed" when the mood strikes me.
Stay safe out there boys. Monger on.
