Question:
My experiences with the herbal remedies, very cheap!
Answer:
I'm poor, too poor to see a doctor, but not poor enough to qualify for
assistance. In the last 2 years, I've tried just about every herbal
remedy I could find to help with my CP. To try and be somewhat
scientific, I waited two weeks between trying new remedies in order to
isolate what remedy had what effects. Here's what I've found:
Zinc Capsules - 50mg daily. This is essential. If you have ever
ejaculated more than once a week for any extended period of time, you
are probably zinc deficient. Two weeks after I first started taking
it, I noticed it was more relaxed and engorged with blood down there
between the scrotum and anus.
Magnesium Capsules - 450 mg daily. While not as specific to the
prostate as Zinc is, it helps all of your muscles relax. My twitching
eyelids and grinding teeth have went away. Magnesium nuetralizes your
stomach acid, so you need to take it with some kind of acid. Vitamin
C works well here, as does orange juice.
Saw Pawmetto - Just follow directions on the bottle. Saw pawmetto
helped a lot with erectile dysfunction at the consequence of making me
ejaculate more quickly. It also seems to lower the remission time
needed between ejaculations. The only catch is some brands didn't do
anything at all. The only kind that worked for my was a generic brand
that came in chewable form, that has recently been discontinued. I
haven't really noticed much effect from the other brands.
Stinging Nettle - Followed directions on the bottle. This stuff is
strong. It didn't really help with my CP, but it made me feel really
pissed off, probably due to the testosterone increase it's supposed to
have. I couldn't take it and be around other people without starting
a fight. Not for me.
Tribulus Terrestris - Followed drections on the bottle. This stuff
works pretty well. I never had precum before I started taking this
stuff. It also increases ejaculate volume and the number of times you
spurt when you climax. I've only used the TwinLabs product "Tribulus
Fuel", but i never had to switch as it's always worked for me. It
also seems to increase libido. You have to take it for a few weeks
before it's effects are really noticable.
Yohimbe - Followed the directions on the bottle, then switched to my
own. This stuff is the strongest herbal anything that I've taken.
The directions say to take 1 to 2 capsules at least one hour "before
activity", I'm assuming they ment sex. The first time I took it, I
took 2 caspules (1600mg). Oh my. One hour after I started to feel
really sweaty and feverish. It peaked around 3 hours after taking it,
and that night I slept maybe 2 hours. It causes a release of the
nuerotransmitter norepinephrine. The best way I can describe it, is
that it makes all of the activities your body normally goes through
while you are asleep happen while you are awake. This includes
nocturnal erections, which is probably where it gets it's aphrodesiac
name. It's very speedy, and wasn't what I was looking for. IMO taken
in low doses (200mg as apposed to the 1600mg they recommend) works
really well as an anti-depressant.
If i were to describe how it makes you feel in one word, it would be
'macho'. It lasts up to 18 hours, so it's best taken in the morning,
otherwise you won't be able to sleep.
Maca - Followed the directions on the bottle. I haven't noticed any
effects at all.
Well, that's it for now. I'm on day 4 of the brocoli treatment, and
it seems to be working quite well already. It has actually given me
more incontinence, but less pain and my spasming prostate has relaxed
a lot. Sitting doesn't feel as akward. I'll post followups and let
everybody know if it cures me.
