BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate, eventually pinching off the urethra. Symptoms can include frequent nighttime urination; pain in the perineum; urgent, painful, frequent, burning urination; straining to start urination; a feeble urinary stream; dribbling urine, impotence; and premature ejaculation. As much as 98 percent of BPH is combined with some kind of inflammation-chronic prostatitis. It is estimated that half of all men have BPH in their 50s and as many as 90% of men will feel the sort of squeezing as they reach 70s .

BPH is called a silent disease because it doesn't always causes pain, men commonly don't feel its progression and men won't willingly talk about it even to close friends.

We believe in a comprehensive holistic approach to BPH and enlarged prostate that involves a few steps:

The first is to lessen "congestion" in the lower pelvis area, that is, to improve the blood and energy flow to the prostate region. It can be done by acupuncture. Acupuncture is safe and a very effective method of treatment of BPH without drugs.

Proponents of Eastern medicine believe that a vital life energy, called qi (pronounced "chee"), flows through the body along 14 primary channels known as meridians. When qi is blocked or unbalanced, disease can result. For healing BPH very fine acupuncture needles will be inserting into the skin to stimulate various points along the meridians that affect the prostate area.  Most patients at Biotherapy Clinic find an acupuncture treatment session profoundly peaceful and relaxing.

By the way, have no fear that needles will be inserted into any sensitive areas, the acupuncture points on the body that heal the genitals are not on or even near the penis! These points may be on the lower stomach, arms, and ears or in the area around the ankles.

Second is healing food consultation. It has been known for thousands of years that food is the best medicine. Just like certain foods can aggravate your condition, certain foods and proper food combining are aimed at improving the health of the prostate.

The third is Nutritional Supplementation and Herbal Medicine which aid in prostate function.

Several herbs have been studied and used extensively in prostate conditions to promote shrinking the prostate. The results frequently were less residual urine after voiding, less nighttime visits to the bathroom, and stronger stream.

At the Biotherapy Clinic, we have a potent, lab tested and well resourced nutritional supplementation program including antioxidants, minerals and microelements, herbal medicine, vitamins, amino acids, essential fatty acids, enzymes, and probiotics (friendly intestinal flora). We have unique combination of these products for different kinds of BPH syndrome to customize patients' needs.  

For example, our herbal formula Damp Water safely removes pathogenic micro-organisms from the body, naturally promotes kidney function, eliminates dangerous toxins and cleanses the genitourinary tract. Damp Water may naturally help heal BPH, Chronic Prostatitis, Candida-yeast overgrowth, immune system disorders, and assist in weight management.* 

Another choice, Saw Palmetto Complex, contains the actual liposterolic (oil) extract of the saw palmetto berry standardized to contain 85% to 95% fatty acids and sterols, the level recommended by researchers. This formula also contains extracts of pumpkin seed, which supports prostate function; pygeum, which researchers are interested in for its key ingredients, including pentacyclic triterpenes, sterolic triterpenes, fatty acids, esters of ferulic acid, and beta-sitosterol; and bearberry, which supports urinary passage health.*

We have had great results with Karlovy Vary Healing Mineral Water made from the Genuine Karlovy Vary Thermal Spring Salt.

Used for centuries by generations of Europeans, this unique supplement decreases the level of inner toxicity of the body, supplies more than 40 vital electrolytes (potassium, calcium, magnesium, etc.) and microelements (zinc, cobalt, iron, chromium, etc), normalizes acid/alkaline balance, helps eliminate intestinal parasites and their eggs, and improves the function of the intestines, kidneys, and liver, the most important organs responsible for toxin removal and body waste. Drinking Karlovy Vary Healing Mineral Water has a long history in the treatment of chronic urinal tract infections, kidney stones, and bladder stones, BPH and chronic prostatitis.

The water possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, and anti-fungal properties and can promote filtering metabolic waste products throughout the kidneys.  According to the ongoing longitudinal research study, Czech doctors discovered that urine pH levels were elevated to normal levels in people with acidic urine, a very good indication demonstrating that the body was less acidic. Alkalinizing urine demonstrates significant symptomatic relief in man suffering of chronic prostatitis and urinal tract infections.  Another advantage to alkalinizing the urine is that many herbs used to heal BPH, urinary tract infections work most effectively in an alkaline environment.*

Studies have shown that prostatitis has been found in 98% of patient with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). That's why in many situations where prostate is congested Prostate Massage (aka Prostatic Massage) may be very helpful. Before Prostatic Massage you will be checked by a medical doctor and asked for your medical data and any tests you have undergone, especially the PSA (prostate-specific antigen). Your prostate gland is a complex structure of tiny ducts and sacs in which microorganisms and parasites can grow. Once they grow there, the swelling and inflammation caused by infection close off the sacs. As more and more sacs and ducts get closed off, your prostate begins to swell and interferes with your other normal urinary and sexual functions. Prostate massage has been used for hundreds of years for improving sex and for treating the prostate gland, especially in Western European, Russian, Israeli, and Philippine medicine. We, at Biotherapy Clinic, are the only place in San Francisco Bay Area that performs Prostatic Massage for medicinal purposes only.

Digital prostate massage improves the urinary stream, reduces other symptoms associated with prostate infection, brings about a return to a more normal prostate size and shape, and causes the softening and shrinking of the enlarged prostate. Prostate massage, accompanied by massage of the muscles surrounding the prostate, eliminates blockages while encouraging the free flow of blood and energy.

Other ways to diminish congestion and inflammation of prostate are the appropriate dietary changes, special healing exercises, and Whole Body Cleansing.*
