Complementary Medical Approaches to Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Download in electronic PDF format for $75
Abstract: Therapeutic approaches to benign prostatic hyperplasia are highly varied and focus principally on modifying the altered biochemical pathways. The British Journal of Urology, in 1996, reported that botanical-based therapies in Europe are more popular than synthetic equivalents. In countries such as Austria and Germany, botanical medicines account for 90% of all medications used to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia. In this article, the author, a naturopathic doctor affiliated with the National College of Naturopathic Medicine, discusses common symptoms, diagnosis (digital exam and prostate-specific antigen), etiology, prevention (diet), considerations for compounding with nutrients and botanicals (nutrients [amino acids, essential fatty acids, zinc] and botanicals) and clinical application of natural substances (oral applications and rectal suppository).
