Fact : BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate. Symptoms result when the enlargement squeezes the urethra where it runs through the prostate. BPH is the most common of prostate conditions among men. It is more common among older men, because as a man ages, his prostate naturally enlarges.

Starting at about age 40, levels of a hormone called prolactin begin increasing in men, this stimulates an increased production of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. This in turn increases the metabolism of testosterone, resulting in an increase of the metabolic byproduct di-hydro-testosterone or DHT.

DHT is very unhealthy and has the undesirable effect of stimulating prostate cells into dividing and multiplying which causes the prostate enlargement. More than 50 percent of men age 60, and 80 percent of men age 80, are estimated to suffer from BPH.

Quotes from some M.D. regarding drugs...

"Drugs never cure disease. They merely hush the voice of nature's protest, and pull down the danger signals she erects along the pathway of transgression. Any poison taken into the system has to be reckoned with later on even though it palliates present symptoms. Pain may disappear, but the patient is left in a worse condition, though unconscious of it at the time." - Daniel. H. Kress, M.D.

"The cause of most diseases is in the poisonous drugs physicians superstitiously give in order to effect a cure." - Charles E. Page M.D.

"The person who takes medicine must recover twice, once from the disease and once from the medicine." - William Osler, M.D.
