Thank you for your wisdom and insight regarding so many health issues. Recently you ran an article regarding prostate issues, and listed an herb tea that would benefit the PSAT level. Please remind me the exact herb again. Thank you.
There are 3 herbs that are effective with prostate issues. These include saw palmetto, pygeum africanum and nettle (Urtica dioica). They are often found together in products designed to help reduce benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). They are effective in reducing the urinary symptoms of slow starting, dribbling, incomplete bladder emptying, blood in urine, discomfort in the area. In fact, they have been shown to be just as effective as the commonly used medications for BPH.
At the same time, there may be inflammation which may be contributing to the enlargement. Saw palmetto is an anti-inflammatory, but additionally you may add MSM or ginger root. There may also be a low-grade viral or bacterial infection in the prostate, so a trial of high dose vitamin C (at least 6 to 10 grams per day) and an anti-infective agent like echanacea, andrographis may also reduce the level of the antigen against prostate tissue. And don’t forget vitamin D—levels in the 50s and 60s offer immune support and specifically cancer protection. Depending where you are in the country, you may need 5,000 IU per day of vitamin D to get those levels.
My doctor says I can get all the vitamins and minerals I need from my food. What is your opinion on this?
I used to say the same thing to my patients, back in the days before I studied healthy alternatives. It is the party line of allopathic medicine, although that is starting to change. Here's the bottom line, and I'll follow up with some info on what allopaths are now doing:

Could you please explain what you would suggest to get rid of facial tics in a child of 8 years old and what tests might you suggest he have administered?
