My BPH got so bad, I was fitted with a catheter, and I was only 58. Thank God I found the right urologist, who after three quick and easy tests performed a green light laser surgery, an outpatient procedure. It was pain free, with virtually no side effects. BPH gone, zero symptoms, zero medications, full recovery in days, annoying urinary symptoms gone probably for life. I will forever be grateful I found that doctor. If you're having these annoying symptoms, you don't need to put up with it. There are permanent cures out there. The surgical technology has advanced well past tranuteral resection.
That's incredible! Sometimes it just takes finding the right person...in fact most of the time it takes finding the right person! So good for you!
My Dad's urologist had my dad to have a biopsy. According to my dad it was very painful (and this is coming from a person with a high pain tolerance). First biopsy didn't find anything. His doctor got him a 2nd biopsy and still found nothing. Then his doctor wanted a 3rd third biopsy (2 biopsies over 2 years - 1 year interval). My dad refused for the third biopsy.
After doing research, the proper procedure was suppose to be an MRI first. And if the MRI shows suspicious area, only then a biopsy to the targeted area was suppose to be done. If the MRI doesn't show any suspicious area, then no invasive biopsy are needed. This is at an Australian public hospital where these procedure are government subsidized. Its a conflict of interest, because the more procedure done, the more the doctor gets paid.
The lesson here is to seek 2nd, 3rd, 4th, even 5th different doctors for other options.
Any chance you can possibly tell us who your physician is?
@@A.I.- NO the answer is to do your own research before you go to doctor.
@@A.I.- The biopsies were for prostate cancer, right?
Thank you so much for another great video! Whenever possible I'll always pick good nutrition over Pharmaceuticals!
My husband loves my homemade granola, so I’ll just need to add some cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds are great for men’s health.
I getting hungry already. 🙂
@@benson5967 Amen!!
This really works! Eating a tablespoon of pumpkins seeds, raw, almost daily, seems to help me urinate / pee the next day. And I do not want them to take out my prostate since I do enjoy a normal ejaculation even at my age (60+). Now, my dad had prostate cancer. Well, that's a whole new different ball game (usually not related to BPH); we'll see. But I'm trying to follow a healthy lifestyle, besides working part-time, night- shift as a nurse (and being sleep deprived). Thanks doc!
With or without shells?
@@HarryHawk no shells, no added salt. Just raw!
@@tonynes3577 Thanks @Tony
Are the pumpkin seeds roasted when you bought them?
@@luisitopalustre5947 no. Raw pumpkin seeds.
Good to see a review like this, looking at actual tests! Thanks for the video, greatly appreciated.
Exactly the video I was hoping you'd make. Thank you
I have been waiting a long time for this video. I hope it has follow ups with more details about dosage, for example.
Remember another vídeo or maybe in the site where he says 1 tbs a day
@@carlosolivares1366 Of flax? That sounds right. I meant cranberry and pumpkin seeds.
Ok.....in summary......dried cranberry powder, flax seeds (ground?) and pumpkin seeds help with your prostate! YAY!
what a profound relief!
Yes, flax seed meal for more complete digestion.
I have a very substantial case of BHP. I have had no luck getting rid of it with pumpkin seeds. I've been wolfing down a highly substantial amount without success.
Do u soak them before eating?
Power to the plants !!!!!
Raw pumpkin seeds are indeed useful! I am eating somw daily, combined with some saw palmeto and american cranberry pills. I also drink a beer a day, to help flush out small kidney sand. Thank God, I feel much better!
I wish NF did a table of ingredient, thing it helps, and link to the research.
i never get enough of PITTT
Has anyone found dried cranberries at a reasonable price? I've found them but the price is unreasonable or I can buy the ones that have lots of sugar added. Around this time of year, fresh cranberries are available. I actually like cranberries.
Whats interesting is even the placebo (pumpkin seed study) went down significantly(>5).
great presentation, just wondering if you prefer to answer regarding the software or app you are using to highlight and zoom the text.
I'm trying to grow pumpkin from pumpkin seeds, didn't know they had the application you mentioned too!
Great idea Eelke! Thanks.
grow the shell-free-seed pumpkins , you may know that, but other readers may not.
He says that the pumpkin seed extract didn't work yet the graph indicates it did work just not as well as the seed itself. Even the placebo "worked" which makes me wonder about this study.
1. Cranberries
2. Flaxseeds
3. Pumpkin seeds
Eliminate #1 and #2...ineffective.
All three are having an amazing effect on me!!!
Yes! I love sprouted pumpkin seeds.
What about the 8 day water fasting that shrink the 40% prostate size? There is a Poland study on Internet check it out it could be help....I haven't tried it because of medical advice....but I want to try in the future...
Eight days without water? Man that is dangerous.
@@LK-bz9sk take a look to the study...
I’m not sure how a person can go without water for eight days unless they are getting hydrated through the foods they are eating.
@@Velo1010 sorry i am wrong not without water but only fasting with water. Sorry
@@decimogiunio8177 ah okay.
So is there a difference between dried cranberries and cranberry powder?
From what I've researched, any form of cranberries are useless for BPH.
How long does it take to be able to pee like a 20 year old ??? 😂
It took me 20 years! But then I forgot.

Zinc deficiency is most likely a / the major cause of BPH. PMC7424038, PMC3114577 ..
See e.g. YT video QLDV5sl3xGg for explanation of mechanism. With increasing age zinc absorption and loss becomes worse. Vegans have highest rate of zinc deficiency by far regarding blood levels: PMID26502280, mainly because the high phytate content blocks the zinc; and blood plasma zinc only goes low after serious depletion of buffers. so almost all vegans not supplementing may be zinc deficient.
Pumpkins seeds are relatively high in zinc, though also having blocking phytate - still only a small effect in normal amount.
Some 7mg / day of zinc supplement (best as zinz bisglycinat) may be generally advisable for vegans particularly and more so at older age. Zinc deficiency has many other consequences. Zinc is very critical for healthy cell function and thus aging.
according to this study ua-cam.com/video/VVJCHVEatqY/v-deo.html vegans are only déficients 3 nutrients : calcium (cause they dont eat their greens), iodine (algue), b12 (their dont take their supplements). When omnivores are deficient in 7 nutrients
plus we dont have to buy zing pill cause we just need to eat grain, beans and nuts to get proper zinc level
Thanks for the advice. I may start taking a zinc supplement because of it.
How can I watch that UA-cam video you mentioned? (QLDV5sl3xGg) UA-cam auto deletes comments with links, but links to other UA-cam videos are not.
Thank you!
even in your study they say : ""BPH is not yet completely understood, the etiology appears to be under endocrine control and multifactorial"
low level zinc is just a marker not the cause
they need to put to the test with zinc supplementation and they also mention the lifestyle factor risk so its not a clear cut
on the other hand Dr Dean Ornish already put it to the test showing that plant-based diet is effective to reduce prostate cancer

Yeah, seems hard to find a good dried cranberry product without sugar and oil. A shame
Amazon
Finally a health problem I don't have.
I hope my daily flax intake spares me! I would prefer my prostate to stay a reasonable size.
How old are you?
@@pdblouin I am in my mid 60's and have had BPH symptoms for years. My doc now wants to put me on medication for it, since my blood test (or urine sample?) showed an increase of a marker for it.
@@someguy2135 Mary I a female, hence her 'tongue in cheek' comment.
Ive been trying to find any of yiur vdos regarding Pygeum. Is there a reason you havent covered it?
I'm convinced that pumpkin seeds are what made my appendix burst, I ate a crazy amount of pumpkin seeds the days before it burst.
How much did you eat? I eat pumpkin seeds, and I am planning to increase the amount after watching this video. I made a comment earlier asking Dr. G about dosage and possible overdose amounts.
I have found that to use the pumpkin seeds raw and soak them overnight to lower the phytate content
What’s a crazy amount please?
@@someguy2135 can't remember, maybe 4 servings a day
Anyone try Myrrh ??
Supplements to break down/degrade glycosaminoglycans related to mucopolysaccharidosis?
Find anything?
Dr. Greger- What dosage do you recommend for pumpkin seeds and cranberries? The more the better? Can I overdose?
I eat a tablespoon of Raw pumpkin seeds almost everyday. And it seems to help my mild BPH. Also walking, abstain from alcohol and other dietary recommendations seems to help me with my prostate health.
@@tonynes3577 Thank you. UA-cam dropped the ball, so I didn't hear about it. Do you know if roasted pumpkin seeds would work as well?
Do you eat ground flax? How much? What about cranberry powder?
Why wouldn't "Craisans" work? I know they have sugar in them, but they also are cranberries. I don't think anything is taken out of the cranberries.
There's a massive amount of *added* sugar... avoid any form of packaged cranberries with added sugar as sugar causes or adds to inflammation which nullifies the healthful benefits of cranberries
Cranberries do NOT work for BPH. Neither does saw palmetto, flaxseed and a few others. Do more online research...seems pumpkin seeds are the most effective, at least from what I've found out.
Alright i give up, youtube is filled with contradicting data, one guy is saying no eggs and poultry but red meat is ok, another is saying red meat is terrible but chickens ok, pumpkin seed extract works wonders and now thats bs, plain old pumpkin seeds works better...
Pumpkin seeds with or without shells?
A tablespoon plus a teaspoon of dried cranberry powder..
Whole cranberry powdered I'm assuming.
👍👍
You have left us more confused. Why not go straight to the point?
Too bad medical students didn't hear about this before taking out loans
Your are so confusing 🤣
And increase your intake of Zinc - don't take my comment as gospel - read up about it and you'll see.
Don’t pumpkin seeds contain a fair amount of zinc?
@@rogerc23 I believe you're right, they do. However I recently watched a really good video on the prostate and in that they recommended an amount of zinc most probably quite a bit higher than what you would get from eating a small amount of pumpkin seeds every day
Zinc gets rid of Copper, so buy brands coupled with Copper or Copper supplement alone.
Pumpkin seeds break my teeth
I've recently started blending soaked/sproated pumkin seeds in a little water. Just drink it down.
Grind them in a coffee grinder and put it in your soup, yogurt, mix with milk or smoothie.
@@setapart3452 milk and general dairy can irritate the bladder... making peeing worse
Soak them in water to soften them enough to chew.
