My husband has an enlarged prostate and difficulty emptying his bladder and leakage throughout the day. I read about pumpkin seeds being helpful so he began taking them. He eats 1/3 cup of raw pumpkin seeds each morning and it’s remarkable at how much it helps him. If he skips a few days he notices a huge difference.
Other than that (drug side effects of suicidal thoughts, man boobs, reduced libido, prostate cancer, John Thomas shrinkage) it's total fine. Haven't lost your dry sarcasm, love it!
Tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, but cooked with some olive oil . . . Sounds like you're describing ("prescribing"?) good old Italian cooking! My grandma would be smiling about now. Fred
14 years ago I was diagnosed with low grade prostate cancer and was lucky enough to find the Prostate Awareness Foundation who teach diet, exercise and lifestyle change as a solution. I can still remember the chief nutritionist at UCSF Med Center telling us that numerous studies have shown a link between dairy and prostate cancer. Remember, milk is the perfect food… if you’re a calf.
but lioness' milk is quite useful. It makes man supercourageous for whole his life ! In one of his lectures Dr. Berg said that the latest studies have shown that sucklings fed by lion milk have 2,7 times more testosterones than those fed by human milk and about 4,3 times more than by cow milk. Also he pointed out that the milk from wild lionesses eating antelopes and zebras and regularly fighting with males from other prides is far more useful for courage than from lionesses grown in lion farms and fed by meat from soy and corn. A cup of lion milk is a must for healthy breakfast in kindergartens, but to be avoided in nuthouses...
It depends. I’m from East Africa, specifically what they call Nilotics. You can us across the Nile River. We are the tallest ethnic group in the world. Especially the South Sudanese people called Dinkas, the massai people of Kenya and the Rwanda and Burundian people called Tutsi. In our culture we drink a lot and I mean a lot of milk. I probably drink 2 liters every day, so do my parents, my grandparents and my great grand father has been surviving most on milk for the last 15 years. He around 108 years or more. Even he doesn’t remember. But his oldest daughter my grandma is 92. I think the environment and body’s morphology plays a huge role in these things. Also something important I forgot to mention is our cows are not raised in enclosure. They get to walk long distances and get to eat different plants that allow them to produce quality milk. Look up the “Watusi cows”.
Similar to others, I have an enlarged prostate but my PSA score is super low, I told the doctor I would do anything and everything if it was food and health based and the doctor had absolutely no suggestions. Only wanted to put me on Flomax or some other subscription and kick me out the door and get onto his next appointment. He also tried to put me on statins. My LDL is high but I am not overweight and my blood pressure is excellent, my triglycerides are low my HDL is excellent, my insulin score (HOMA IR) is excellent, I eat really good and exercise five times a week, etc. etc. I am simply done with regular doctors.
Understandable. Over my 70 years, I've found natural solutions to a number of issues where the doctor wanted to do some invasive test or a full on procedure. I 'd like them to be more compassionate about their recommendations and to learn and share natural or holistic solutions. For example, at age 52 , standing a lot for work, my I had a fair amount of pain in my foot.Orthopedist said sure, I can fix that with surgery. Called my dad and he said what size shoe do you wear. He bought and shipped me a pair those fuddy duddy orthopedic shoes. Pain solved in a couple of days and after a short time stopped wearing them. That was the last of it! Another time, with known kidney stone issues, I was having a bit blood in urine.Doc wanted to do a rather uncomfortable, invasive procedure and said 'what do you think'. I said no thank you! What else you got? He suggested flomax... I took it for a short spell and expelled the stone. No fuss no muss. Oh and a friend told me about drinking a glass of water with fresh squeezed lemon, daily, to keep stones at bay. That was some time ago and it seems to have helped dramatically. Told my doc about it after about a year and know what he said? yes, that's a good thing to do.
If I'm not mistaken, I read somewhere that exercise can cause it to enlarge and even increase PSA. I have an elevated PSA with zero symptoms. I also read somewhere that the PSA test is not a very good tool.
There is an embolism procedure they can do to shrink it.

Prescription, not "subscription." Flowmax is often prescribed when you have difficulty peeing due to an enlarged prostate (BPH). As your prostate continues grow, the Flowmax will become less and less effective and you may need surgery. If eating tomato sauce or taking lycopene supplements really worked for most men with BPH, there would News at 11. The effect of lycopene on BPH has been the subject of at least two studies. About 60-80% of the subjects had some reduction in prostate size, but the quantity of lyopene they had to consume daily to achieve those results was far more than you could possibly get by eating tomato sauce. WARNING: tomatoes are high in oxalates, which can damage your kidneys.
This video couldn’t have come at a better time. My dad who is 79 has an enlarged prostate and his doctors think it might be cancer (further tests are being done). He has increased his milk intake lately. I’m going to share this with him.
@@Drberg Doc, for prostate Iodine is needed. Nutrition with Judy interview with Dr David Brownstein on Iodine is a excellent interview. Dr Brownstein talks about prostate cancer/breast cancer is a iodine deficiency. Nutrition with Judy interview with Lynne Farrown Iodine crisis is another good one. Both have books on Iodine. take care.
I've been using 50mg zinc daily for years take 2 or 3mg copper with that or buy combo tabs. Also Saw Palmetto 320 or more mg, lycopene, selenium, 400iu vit E and omega3s like salmon/krill oil. Shrunk my prostate from 64cc to 48. Minor issues but sleep all night most nights and pee pretty good at almost 70. Hi-rez MRI shows no sign of cancer and I still don't need Viagra. :) US milk has growth hormones injected into dairy cattle and antibiotics. Not here in Canada tho.

Cancer can cause a prostate to become enlarged, but having an enlarged prostate does not by itself indicate prostate cancer. The kind prostate enlargement discussed in this video is not due to cancer. This kind of prostate enlargement is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is NOT cancer, nor does having BPH increase your risk of getting prostate cancer. Drinking milk does not cause prostate cancer. If prostate cancer is suspected, due to rising PSA levels over time or blood in the urine, they would normally do a prostate biopsy, which is an office procedure done under lidocaine. If the biopsy is positive, then they'd do an MRI.
I would like to put forth my deepest thanks to dr Berg, you are my hero. Half a year ago, I was a a tired blob of overweight and a screaming absence of energy, I sat through my days and dreamed of doing stuff. Then, luck would have it that I stumbled on one of your videos on intermittent fasting. I watched it and was in awe about the scientific facts behind it. From there I have watched your videos daily and it has turned my life around. The way you present the mechanics behind the scenes and explains how things (foods and different part of the body) work really inspires me to shape my days in a whole other way than I did before. Now I eat real foods, with nutritional value, in a span of hours that let my body switch to survival mode every day. Nowadays, I sleep around 6 hours, go up, cleans the house, do dishes, repair cars, house, walk my dog and alot more. My life has turned around completely and its mainly because of your videos. Thank you sir.
Wow, that is wonderful news! Thanks so much for letting me know. Would you be willing to share your story on my site so others can be helped as well? Thank you! www.drberg.com/add-client-success-story
@@DrbergCan you make a review of alternative sodas such as Olipop and poppi in regards to how natural their ingredients are and comparison to standard sodas? Not much video on UA-cam cover this, and the ones that do are not reputable. They definitely are a better alternative, but how much better? That’s the question. Thanks!

[00:00] Enlarged prostate is a common condition in men. A healthy prostate is about the size of a walnut. [00:26] explanation Prostate enlargement is caused by an increase in activity of an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, a more powerful hormone. [01:17] DHT is supposed to decrease as men age, but an enzyme makes more DHT which enlarges the prostate. [01:44] Medication can reduce prostate enlargement by 23% but has side effects like decreased libido and increased risk of prostate cancer. [02:11] Lycopene is a natural enzyme inhibitor found in tomatoes that can decrease the risk of prostate enlargement and cancer. [02:52] The best source of lycopene is tomatoes. You can eat them fresh, canned, or in tomato sauce/paste. Heat increases bioavailability of lycopene. [03:18] To absorb more lycopene, cook tomatoes with olive oil. [03:48] Milk is bad for the prostate because it contains growth hormones that can enlarge it.
I had very weak pee flow and sometimes even hard to start to pee. Went to doctor and he told that I have normal prostate. I didn’t find any answer. I heard about eating tomatoes and one day I cooked one whole tomato in olive oil. Results were amazing. No more weak pee flow or other pee related problem. I am relaxed and never saw my doctor again. I cook one tomato with eggs and eat it almost every day.
@klepp19 grow them at home. You can even get indoor grow kits to grow Tomatoes in your living room, your balcony.... anywhere. And you will always have fresh healthy supply
I strongly believe Dr. Berg's concise videos can help anyone improve their life! I moved to Thailand from the US 18 months ago and my diet has changed drastically and my health has improved. The 3 major diet changes are no more fast food, no dairy products, and eating tomatoes at least twice a week in papaya salad. About a year ago I realized no more trips to the toilet during the night! Another thing is my blood pressure is normal again but I do take meds for it since my heart attack in 2009. I also exercise about an hour every day and I feel no more stress since I stopped watching the nightly news from the American networks. Life is better in my retirement and I believe I'm healthier physically and mentally.
Table salt is the worst pure SEASALT is the best since sea salt resembles blood plasma@AL_THOMAS_777

Yes, the grass is always greener on the other side. But you don't have to move to miserably hot and humid Thailand to avoid fast food and dairy products, or to eat tomatoes in a papaya salad, or to exercise, or to stop watching nightly news from American networks.
You have found the fountain ⛲️ of health. American foods are tainted and passed by the corrupted FDA and other unknown processed foods being imported into the USA. Secondary, American political arena, society, and propagandists news are toxic. Finding a country where there is a sense of balance in mental health, physical health and spiritual well-being is hard to come by.
@@investigativeoutcomes9343 Do you work for the pharmaceutical industry? The reason I ask is because you have cited not one single instance where you challenge or even disagree with Dr Berg's points. The medical industry is more of a business model than a healing art. I'm 72, peak health thanks to information like this. I've never seen a doctor in my life, not once. You can keep them.
Your explanation of the one food that can help shrink an enlarged prostate was fascinating! It’s incredible how something so simple can make such a big difference in men’s health. Thanks for sharing such valuable and practical advice!
I've had increased urgency three months ago, I cut out ALL dairy products and although I not a big red meat eater, I eat grass fed beef, no sugar, no white flour products. I now pee like an 18-year-old (I'm 56). Thank you, Dr. Berg.
@@laurenceroberttampushalpin183 yes by not adding it for myself, but I think it has less lactose than milk and yogurt so a bit of butter should be fine.
@@xtophgerard1169 last June this year , my PSA was 5 and I woke up 10:30pm . I couldn't empty my bladder. And I stay late at night. After taking dutasteride and tamsulisine and a month of keto diet. I kind have a relief. But the battle is long way to go. I just have to finished my stock of milk🤭 it's really hard to give up. I used it for my coffee in morning. I'm planning to change it with egg yolk + butter. But it's hard to gamble my health
All thru my 30’s and 40’s, now 57, I had prostate issues. My urologist told me, out of all the prostate biopsies that he’s performed. None came back cancerous where the man took zinc every day. I’ve been taking zinc every day for the past 10 yrs, and no issues. No more flomax. Just zinc, vitamin D and fish oil.
@ruger6049 he also said diet too, when my flare ups would occur. It would happen after caffeinated beverages, especially coffee. Or if I had a couple of pizzas a week for dinner or Mexican food. The chemicals/spices in processed foods were causing a lot of flare ups. Along with certain medications, such as, decongestants and cough medication. And of course alcohol is a prostate killer. Those medications/alcohol cause the muscle around the prostate to become inflamed. Squeezing in on the already swollen prostate due to age. Now, I drink a lot of water, and decaffeinated mostly everything else. occasionally a coke or coffee or beer, But in moderation. Stay up with other vitamins as well and I make my own water with trace elements and minerals. It’s a life style change along with taking supplements.
beta sisosterol too as a 5-alpha hydroxy redutace inhibitor. The great thing about tomato paste is it's cheap and the tomatoes are picked much closer to fully ripe, when the lycopene forms. Hot house tomatoes picked green and ripened in an ethylene tractor trailer fall short.

I specifically asked my doctor if there was any dietary change I could make to help reduce my prostate size and he said "no". I was also unaware of the side-effects of the pill I am taking. Gotta love modern medicine.
Zinc*, Saw Palmetto*, Copper*, Selenium*, Tumeric*, Lycopene gel caps*, Pygeum, Boron, Quercetin, Ellagic Acid, Beta-Sitosterol, Rye Grass Pollen Extract, Omega3s for inflammation. Raw Walnuts, almonds and pumpkin seeds. *ed ones are what I use daily.
@@kennethh4904 Sure is. I turned 70 a month ago and basically live a normal life now as far as urinary issues go. The nuts and pumpkin seeds go in smoothies for easy eating and better digestion. From 5X a night trips to the bathroom to none = great sleep. I drink a lot of coffee too, sipping it right up to bedtime.
I watched another one of your videos where you recommended one whole lemon in almond milk with some blueberries and stevia but found it to be very tart, so I just cut the white part out of the lemon and blinded it up in ACV with some stevia and it really tastes good and it works in shrinking the prostate.
We need a video on prostate enlargement/shrinkage/cancer/lycopene/pumpkin seeds every 10 videos or so ,just keeps all the men hooked to the information probably it is easy to understand then other complex body parts.Thanks again Dr Berg!
For 10 years now I have been drinking one cup of fresh nettle tea each day and of all the things I've tried it works the best. Watch out when you pick the nettles though.
Thanks Doc. Loving your channel. A small handful of pumpkin seeds twice a week got my prostate levels down for those who don't like tomatoes or allergic
1kg of tomatoes chopped, gently boiled for an hour with 2 American tablespoons (one UK Tablespoon) of Extra Virgin Olive oil. Let cool and eat 100g per day. For me, after two weeks, nearly all symptoms have vanished. As it takes three weeks to get a Dr appointment, I’m on the plus side atm!
An Imperial, (UK), and American Tbsp are both 15ml or 3 tsps each. It's gallons, quarts and pints that are different with the UK or old Canadian ones being 20% larger. 1USG = 3.78L, 1UKG = 4.54L. The seeds and skin of tomatoes are bad for you.
I had a severe problem and was about to have a reduction surgery done. A friend got me on to selenium (with enough iodine in the blood). That was about ten years ago and I now eat too much icecream (only one particular brand) and organic milk. I also experienced my hair going silky and stopped falling out. I had lots of skin cancers which were turning my skin to jelly and I was freaking about them too. The skin cancers dried up (they still appear) and I dig them out with my fingernails. I was in a bad state and started on 32-360 micrograms a day initially for a few months and then went down to about 200. I have made sure that I have high levels of zinc for decades. I am 68yo tomorrow 😊
Thanks for the great videos - I have watched many. One thing I am trying to figure out - some information points to tomatoes / lycopene as great for reducing the risk of prostate cancer - however, some other information says that tomatoes are considered "bad" for frequent urination in males, as their acidity can irritate the bladder and worsen symptoms of overactive bladder. Can you provide some feedback on this.
The prostate is an organ which has an affinity for calcium. So: Hardening of the arteries, kidneys, brain, and finally the Prostate happens over time. Vitamin K2 fixes all of that. At 75, I have the blood pressure of a teenager, and a 6 foot stream.
@@ORflycaster 10X RDA. But, I also was suspicious of and avoided Seed Oil all of my adult life. No McDonalds fries, no potato chips. It's been a struggle.
@@MikeMcDaniels-w1u Canola oil is crap for sure. Along with K2 you want lots of D3 to make sure calcium goes where it belongs. All fast food is junk and toxic to human health. Coconut and MCT oils and real butter for the win!
So ive been doing your lemon/cup of blueberries/cup of water in the blender, and drinking it every day for a week so far.. I have gone from about 4-5 times a night to the bathroom, to 1 time per night. Its a miracle!!! The key that you mention is the lemon peel, where all the magic happens. Also, I have started back with the tomato sauce with cassava flour pasta..... also, am going to order some lycopene 50mg capsules.. and lastly, as a side note, I have started eating raw organic pumpkin seeds again!!! Thanks for all that you do
I have tried many things but nothing really works. I would like to try out your recipe. one whole lemon with peel and 1 cup of blueberries and 1 cup of water in a blender once a day, right? Thanks for sharing.
How does this add up? Just 5 mins ago I watched another of your videos about the same topic. In that video, the advise was to consume lemon peel. That was by far the best. Now in this video, no mention of lemons. Now it's tomatoes. Are we just randomly going through all the vegetables/fruits?
@@yyaadude So you started having prostate problems at 20? I was 60 before I started having real problems tho I'm sure minor issues began 5 years prior. So much better now.
@tomtai8165 Yes BPH can occur(but it is not frequent) without an elevation of the PSA. The later is an indicator of the well being of the prostate. Yes there are cancers of the prostate which do not cause an increase of the PSA, most do though. In general the more enlarged(or inflammed that organ is the higher the PSA level. Getting a checkup followed by a negative result checkup is far better than being told of the presence of a stage 4 later in life.
@@Cervin_Suisse Quite true. however PSA was discovered by a Dr. Richard Albin I believe and he has said that PSA was never designed to be a cancer detection tool but a tool for lab use only.
Tomatoes. After 2 minutes of cooking they had 54% more lycopene than raw. After 30 minutes of cooking they 164% more available lycopene. Also, since lycopene is fat soluble, eating some fat with it makes it more bio available. On milk. Canadian milk doesn't have bovine hormones in it like American milk.
Yeah, Canada is so much better than us stupid Americans, That is going to change now that we have Trump back! Plus we still have our gun rights, enjoy your over priced milk!
Drs in North America are forbidden to promote anything not FDA etc approved so it's not just the docs fault. Big Pharma runs most of the medical schools so they are not taught anything about nutrition or supplements. It's not medical care but disease management. Healthy patients don't need expensive medications, treatments or surgeries.
That's great advice but i am following the Keto diet and also OMAD and as such have to eat lots of dairy for the high fat content. I do eat lots of tomatoes thought with lots of salad and vegetables vegetables. So Dr berge what do you recommend.
I've had a very enlarged prostate and last year i had a holep ive never been so good my op was last December and it has been a complete success i can now pass urine normally
@ASD-zxc-m5e I had half of it removed last November as there were nothing sinister cancer etc it's nearly a year now, and my bladder is back to normal it's great to go to the loo and be my old self again
GREAT stuff!!! What does it mean if you urinate FREQUENTLY, but drink normally and mostly iced tea with NO added sugar and NO sugar sweetened beverages and just one 16oz bottle of natural Spring water???
It's tomatoes, cranberries, blueberries and pomegranates. To a certain extent even citrus fruits like lemons, limes, kiwifruit etc. They all help to alkanize the body system. Zinc of course - found in eggs, red meat, poultry, seafood etc. However too much tomato consumption could lead to oxalates. Moderation is the key. Of course add coffee, tea (whether black or green) in moderation.
The Urologist diagnosed me with stage 4 prostate cancer. He did it in a terrifying way as if he was telling me I am dead. Then he quickly scheduled removal surgery. I got pissed off and got another opinion, 2 years later all metastases gone and doing much better mostly by diet and supplements. Never let a doctor tell you your are dead, half these damn guys are idiots or have ulterior motives, that guy was a surgeon, so naturally he was selling expensive surgeries. I have watched hundreds of videos and learned much more than even my oncologist knows.
Recommend men over 40 eat the following daily for prostate health : 3 tblspns cooked tomato sauce (no sugar), 1 tblspn pomegranate arils (raw), 2 tblspns pumpkin seeds(roast or microwave lightly to soften), 1 brazil nut , 1 cup green tea , cup steamed broccoli, 1 tblspn omega 3 oil or 4,000 mg . Also recommend cutting out dairy if you have an existing prostate issue .
I love my dairy but here in Canada growth hormones and antibiotics are forbidden in dairy cattle so I don't have to give it up. I buy the 2X protein one as I don't eat lots so get a little extra protein that way. My raw pumpkin seeds go into smoothies along with the cashews, almonds, many fruits, hemp seeds and hemp protein powder with kefir and the mentioned milk for the liquid part.
How can an enlarged prostate be reduced in volume? Correct me if i'm wrong but the enlargement comes from extra tissue growth, not from water, lymph or air. Prevent or slow down the growth sounds feasible though.
Mine shrunk from 64 to 47cc a year after I added lycopene supplements to my regimen. Also doubled up on the Saw Palmetto and added selenium and lots of Omega3. I drink lots of milk, yogourt, kefir etc but here in Canada we don't allow growth hormones or antibiotics in dairy cattle. There are other supplements that also help reduce prostate size and related issues as well. Searching online and avoiding sites like WebMD helped me get back to near normal. Easily 90% better than 5 years ago.
I've been taking a very high dose Lycopene supplement daily (550mg/Day) along with lemon peel, orange peel and everything else known to mankind that potentially helps the prostate, but after 4 months, I haven't noticed any changes. My PSA is over 11 and my prostate remains very large. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker and exercise lifting weights daily.
Calcium phosphates. Check your food and Salt labels and get them OUT of your diet. Also, stop eating out as they surely use products with it because it's cheaper.
Three months ago I researched what you were saying, and I came to the conclusion that I could have 2 tablespoons of tomato paste every morning. I’ll take this along with a daily dose of Saw Palmetto. Now, at this point, I have a relatively few problems. I am able to sleep hours at a shot without having to get up or if I get up at night and she usually only ones instead of two or three times. I notice my flow is much better on a consistent scale. I’ve taken many of the different other supplements, including the most well known, but found Even though I saw good results with pumpkin seed extract, which made me itchy, and had to discontinue, I found that this was amazingly the most economical and actually most effective. I want to thank you for this video, and the recommendation of lycopene.
I had some prostate issues in my late 40's, getting up to pee very often etc. I started taking testosterone therapy and it cured my problems. 51 now planning on staying on a low dose for life. low test causes the issues and i feel i fixed mine just in time.
Twenty three years ago I was diagnosed by my doctor with an enlarged prostate. Thankfully, his bedside manner was non existent and after he removed his finger, he told me that the only treatment he had was the knife. That cheered me up no end. He took a piece of paper and wrote down 'saw palmetto' and 'zinc'. He then told me to go to my health food store and get them as he could not prescribe them. I did this, the saw palmetto came in tablet form and after six weeks my prostate was perfect again. I continued with the zinc for a year and then forgot about it. Sure enough, my prostate enlarged again. Back to the health food store! All fixed again. I am now 79 and take zinc every day. No more problems. I tell every one I know that all men over the age of 40 should be on zinc. None of my close male friends have prostate problems, including my idiot son. One side effect of zinc is that it puts lead in your pencil! Don't believe me? try it!
Lead in your pencil? Not trying to be funny but I really don't know the expression or what it refers to. Also--same question--how much zinc in mg and what type.
@@donb.7564 50mg zinc citrate and at least 320mg Saw Palmetto is a good start. Lead in your pencil means you don't suffer from erectile difficulties. I'm almost 70 and if anything I need anti-boner pills. :)
As you've said in a previous video and this one for me the solution was getting rid of all dairy, unfortunately I seem to be sensitive to something in dairy, I even react to ghee and whey protein. And also fasting afterwards to help shrink it faster.
@@Gengh13 If you're in the US it's likely the growth hormones injected into the dairy cows to increase milk production and/or the antibiotics constantly fed to them. not allowed here in Canada and I drink lots of hi-protein milk.

Although suffering none of the normal prostate problems, I noticed that, over the course of 10 years, my PSA level slowly crept up to 4.4, so I started taking zinc tablets. In one year, it went down to 1.8. As well as continuing to take these, I'm now also eating lots of tomatoes & wait to see if level reduces further.
With regards to Prostate health and function, it was a combination of eating less animal protein and eating more vine tomatoes / plant based foods along with standardised Saw Palmetto and Nettle root extract that i had noticeable improvement....😊
In the last 12 months (I'm 69) my flow started reducing, which I ignored. Nigh bathroom visits increased, so had saw pamenter...it did nothing. I rarly drink, but when I drank beer it REALLY made matters worse. Had a 2hr drive and drunk coconut water and thats when matters really got worse... rushed myself to hospital in agony, they inserted a cathetera. Now I'm on pills. No cancer. All is better. Only had the cathethera for 5 days, it was agony!!! Hope to get off pills. I had been on zink and reservatrol, and ate a fair amount of tomatoes for years.
Very interesting vidéo I take dutasteride and zinc regularly And testosterone is very high and don't see a decrease of libido I'll surely increase the intake if tomato everything Thank you
My two cents at age 75 with enlarged prostate. 50 mg ZN. Tomatoes most every day. Keto diet. ED. I will start resverotol supplements now. Annual trip with endocrinologist. And psa 0.5. I also inject 200 units T twice a month. So far, no cancer from digit check. Is there a blood test for cancer?
2:26 This video is a valuable resource for men looking for natural ways to control an enlarged prostate. The focus on a single food and its potential benefits is both informative and inspiring. I am excited to try incorporating tomatoes into my diet and see if it makes a difference. Thank you so much! 😃
I switched to a carnivore diet and I have no problem with my prostate. I’m in my mid 50s and take zero meds. It was the best decision I’ve ever made regarding my health.
Whatever your diet is you should have your prostate checked on a regular basis at your age. No symptoms and all functions check good is not a guarantee that all is in order.
@TruthSeeker-rn1tm I don't need authority to make a comment. I did Keto by the book, dropped 40 pounds and reversed my Diabetes Type 2. I still eat low carb but in a less rigorous way. I feel great and don't see the need to try anything else. Anyway carnivore wouldn't be a choice I would make. I have nothing against those who chose this option, however there is not enough evidence it is harmless long term. No cave men and more recent ancestors never ate a 100% diet.
@TruthSeeker-rn1tm It is evidently you Sir who accaparate the authority to advance that a carnivore diet is protecting the prostate against cancer. I truly hope that easily influenced folks will not take your opinion for granted. It is a very dangerous advice you give here. :-((
My PSA score was too high, just a hair under the 'send him for a biopsy' line. My doctor was somewhat concerned. I reluctantly cut out ALL diary as an experiment, and my PSA score fell. Not by a lot, only 20%, but that was enough to convince my doctor that my prostate was fine. My need to pee at night disappeared too! Just as a precaution, I'll be getting my PSA checked again in a year's time. Today's dairy delivers FAR more estradiol and progesterone than it did twenty years ago. Dairy cows can now be milked during a pregnancy, and pregnancy drives hormones sky high in all female mammals (people too).
Cassoulet made by gently frying tomato paste and onions with garlic then just add some white beans and top up with water is a great healthy and vegan way to get your weekly lycopene boost, tastes even richer the next day
I eat tomatoes almost every day. I cook them with my bacon. They can cause joint pain and if eaten with acidic foods and coffee can cause urinary problems. Some people. They’re part of the nightshade family of plants, so be careful do your own research!
Dr. Berg thank you so much for your helpful videos. You make it easy for your watchers to be educated. Would you consider doing a video on “bioengineered ingredients”? Our jars of mayonnaise now state that on the label. I tried to find out what that means and they don’t make it easy. Obvious I’m not eating it until I know what’s in it.
Red Maca dudes ....it ain't as well known for prostate as saw palmetto and pygeum but my last symptom was painful urination and it ended that whereas the other natural supplements I took did not
Regarding dairy: does it make a difference if it’s fermented (Greek yogurt or kefir) and/or lactose-free? Or is any form of dairy not good for the prostate?
I'm 62 and don't have a problem with an enlarged prostate, per se, but I've noticed sensitives when I drink coffee (caffeine) or eat certain foods. However, last month I started drinking a cup of unflavored Kefir (L. Reuteri) every day, along with a couple tablespoons of sauerkraut, and my gut health and bowel movements are even better. Dr. Berg, I know Kefir is a milk product, but please tell me it's not as bad as milk since it's fermented? I'm not a milk drinker, and I'm not wanting to give up my cup of Kefir or the real cheese I eat occasionally. Thanks.
Depends on the milk it's made from. US dairy cows are fed growth hormones to increase milk production but that's not allowed here in Canada. I drink a glass of 2X protein milk every day with a meal. I use kefir in smoothies and take a good probiotic every day. When I eat a low fibre meal I take some Meta Mucil after as I have a constricted bowel. Bonus is my cholesterol ratio is perfect so says my doc. Oat bran in the smoothies and sprinkled on cereal helps with that too. I'm 70 now.
My husband has an enlarged prostate and difficulty emptying his bladder and leakage throughout the day. I read about pumpkin seeds being helpful so he began taking them. He eats 1/3 cup of raw pumpkin seeds each morning and it’s remarkable at how much it helps him. If he skips a few days he notices a huge difference.
They're full of zinc! 🎉
Ty 4 sharing!
They are very good for these problems

Got my husband on pumpkin seeds about 9 months ago. He very seldom takes the tablets perscribed by our doctor now.
Tomatoes, tomato sauce, or tomato paste. Zinc also helps. Your welcome.
Plus Resveratrol 👏🏻
And olive oil!
But tomatoes aren't keto 😅
Thank you
No good for arthritis
Other than that (drug side effects of suicidal thoughts, man boobs, reduced libido, prostate cancer, John Thomas shrinkage) it's total fine.

14 years ago I was diagnosed with low grade prostate cancer and was lucky enough to find the Prostate Awareness Foundation who teach diet, exercise and lifestyle change as a solution. I can still remember the chief nutritionist at UCSF Med Center telling us that numerous studies have shown a link between dairy and prostate cancer. Remember, milk is the perfect food… if you’re a calf.
Interesting you say that when I drink milk or eat ice cream it's usually when I have a problem
but lioness' milk is quite useful. It makes man supercourageous for whole his life !
In one of his lectures Dr. Berg said that the latest studies have shown that sucklings fed by lion milk have 2,7 times more testosterones than those fed by human milk and about 4,3 times more than by cow milk. Also he pointed out that the milk from wild lionesses eating antelopes and zebras and regularly fighting with males from other prides is far more useful for courage than from lionesses grown in lion farms and fed by meat from soy and corn.
A cup of lion milk is a must for healthy breakfast in kindergartens, but to be avoided in nuthouses...
It depends. I’m from East Africa, specifically what they call Nilotics. You can us across the Nile River. We are the tallest ethnic group in the world. Especially the South Sudanese people called Dinkas, the massai people of Kenya and the Rwanda and Burundian people called Tutsi. In our culture we drink a lot and I mean a lot of milk. I probably drink 2 liters every day, so do my parents, my grandparents and my great grand father has been surviving most on milk for the last 15 years. He around 108 years or more. Even he doesn’t remember. But his oldest daughter my grandma is 92. I think the environment and body’s morphology plays a huge role in these things. Also something important I forgot to mention is our cows are not raised in enclosure. They get to walk long distances and get to eat different plants that allow them to produce quality milk. Look up the “Watusi cows”.
Your milk is the problem not milk itself...
@@EA-dweller i guess you are male under 170 cm; i'm 174, male
Similar to others, I have an enlarged prostate but my PSA score is super low, I told the doctor I would do anything and everything if it was food and health based and the doctor had absolutely no suggestions. Only wanted to put me on Flomax or some other subscription and kick me out the door and get onto his next appointment. He also tried to put me on statins. My LDL is high but I am not overweight and my blood pressure is excellent, my triglycerides are low my HDL is excellent, my insulin score (HOMA IR) is excellent, I eat really good and exercise five times a week, etc. etc. I am simply done with regular doctors.
Probably every doctor is in the pocket of the pharmaceutical giants and get's a bonus for pill pushing.
Understandable. Over my 70 years, I've found natural solutions to a number of issues where the doctor wanted to do some invasive test or a full on procedure. I 'd like them to be more compassionate about their recommendations and to learn and share natural or holistic solutions. For example, at age 52 , standing a lot for work, my I had a fair amount of pain in my foot.Orthopedist said sure, I can fix that with surgery. Called my dad and he said what size shoe do you wear. He bought and shipped me a pair those fuddy duddy orthopedic shoes. Pain solved in a couple of days and after a short time stopped wearing them. That was the last of it! Another time, with known kidney stone issues, I was having a bit blood in urine.Doc wanted to do a rather uncomfortable, invasive procedure and said 'what do you think'. I said no thank you! What else you got? He suggested flomax... I took it for a short spell and expelled the stone. No fuss no muss. Oh and a friend told me about drinking a glass of water with fresh squeezed lemon, daily, to keep stones at bay. That was some time ago and it seems to have helped dramatically. Told my doc about it after about a year and know what he said? yes, that's a good thing to do.
If I'm not mistaken, I read somewhere that exercise can cause it to enlarge and even increase PSA. I have an elevated PSA with zero symptoms. I also read somewhere that the PSA test is not a very good tool.
There is an embolism procedure they can do to shrink it.
Prescription, not "subscription." Flowmax is often prescribed when you have difficulty peeing due to an enlarged prostate (BPH). As your prostate continues grow, the Flowmax will become less and less effective and you may need surgery. If eating tomato sauce or taking lycopene supplements really worked for most men with BPH, there would News at 11. The effect of lycopene on BPH has been the subject of at least two studies. About 60-80% of the subjects had some reduction in prostate size, but the quantity of lyopene they had to consume daily to achieve those results was far more than you could possibly get by eating tomato sauce. WARNING: tomatoes are high in oxalates, which can damage your kidneys.
This video couldn’t have come at a better time. My dad who is 79 has an enlarged prostate and his doctors think it might be cancer (further tests are being done). He has increased his milk intake lately. I’m going to share this with him.
Thanks for watching, hope this helps.
@Everythingisvibration-pj7hvChlorine dioxide dissolves biofilm as well as DMSO I believe.
@@Drberg Doc, for prostate Iodine is needed. Nutrition with Judy interview with Dr David Brownstein on Iodine is a excellent interview. Dr Brownstein talks about prostate cancer/breast cancer is a iodine deficiency. Nutrition with Judy interview with Lynne Farrown Iodine crisis is another good one. Both have books on Iodine. take care.
I've been using 50mg zinc daily for years take 2 or 3mg copper with that or buy combo tabs. Also Saw Palmetto 320 or more mg, lycopene, selenium, 400iu vit E and omega3s like salmon/krill oil. Shrunk my prostate from 64cc to 48. Minor issues but sleep all night most nights and pee pretty good at almost 70. Hi-rez MRI shows no sign of cancer and I still don't need Viagra. :) US milk has growth hormones injected into dairy cattle and antibiotics. Not here in Canada tho.
Cancer can cause a prostate to become enlarged, but having an enlarged prostate does not by itself indicate prostate cancer.
The kind prostate enlargement discussed in this video is not due to cancer. This kind of prostate enlargement is called Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is NOT cancer, nor does having BPH increase your risk of getting prostate cancer.
Drinking milk does not cause prostate cancer.
If prostate cancer is suspected, due to rising PSA levels over time or blood in the urine, they would normally do a prostate biopsy, which is an office procedure done under lidocaine. If the biopsy is positive, then they'd do an MRI.
I would like to put forth my deepest thanks to dr Berg, you are my hero. Half a year ago, I was a a tired blob of overweight and a screaming absence of energy, I sat through my days and dreamed of doing stuff. Then, luck would have it that I stumbled on one of your videos on intermittent fasting. I watched it and was in awe about the scientific facts behind it. From there I have watched your videos daily and it has turned my life around. The way you present the mechanics behind the scenes and explains how things (foods and different part of the body) work really inspires me to shape my days in a whole other way than I did before. Now I eat real foods, with nutritional value, in a span of hours that let my body switch to survival mode every day. Nowadays, I sleep around 6 hours, go up, cleans the house, do dishes, repair cars, house, walk my dog and alot more. My life has turned around completely and its mainly because of your videos. Thank you sir.
Wow, that is wonderful news! Thanks so much for letting me know.

[00:00] Enlarged prostate is a common condition in men. A healthy prostate is about the size of a walnut.
[00:26] explanation Prostate enlargement is caused by an increase in activity of an enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, a more powerful hormone.
[01:17] DHT is supposed to decrease as men age, but an enzyme makes more DHT which enlarges the prostate.
[01:44] Medication can reduce prostate enlargement by 23% but has side effects like decreased libido and increased risk of prostate cancer.
[02:11] Lycopene is a natural enzyme inhibitor found in tomatoes that can decrease the risk of prostate enlargement and cancer.
[02:52] The best source of lycopene is tomatoes. You can eat them fresh, canned, or in tomato sauce/paste. Heat increases bioavailability of lycopene.
[03:18] To absorb more lycopene, cook tomatoes with olive oil.
[03:48] Milk is bad for the prostate because it contains growth hormones that can enlarge it.
@@bevjane7245 it was actually Lycopene, done!
Why 😂
Thoughtful! I appreciate your efforts and time.
I watched your video about the positive effects of consuming/ juicing lemon peel for the prostate.
Which is better?
Lycopene is also in Watermelon, carrot and Grape fruit. Btw watermelon boosts testosterone it's aka Viagra.
I had very weak pee flow and sometimes even hard to start to pee. Went to doctor and he told that I have normal prostate. I didn’t find any answer. I heard about eating tomatoes and one day I cooked one whole tomato in olive oil. Results were amazing. No more weak pee flow or other pee related problem. I am relaxed and never saw my doctor again. I cook one tomato with eggs and eat it almost every day.
Just last night my dinner consisted of sliced avocado, tomatoes and two boiled eggs A. A powerhouse of nutrients and good fat.
I guess this is why I've seen tomatoes so many times now.
I'm fat as fook, hate it but when I did keto i found it profound. This time I'm going to include tomatoes like you mentioned, thank you sir.
Where to buy fresh tomatoes as most have pesticides!
@klepp19 grow them at home. You can even get indoor grow kits to grow Tomatoes in your living room, your balcony.... anywhere. And you will always have fresh healthy supply
I strongly believe Dr. Berg's concise videos can help anyone improve their life!
I moved to Thailand from the US 18 months ago and my diet has changed drastically and my health has improved.
The 3 major diet changes are no more fast food, no dairy products, and eating tomatoes at least twice a week in papaya salad.
About a year ago I realized no more trips to the toilet during the night!
Another thing is my blood pressure is normal again but I do take meds for it since my heart attack in 2009.
I also exercise about an hour every day and I feel no more stress since I stopped watching the nightly news from the American networks.
Life is better in my retirement and I believe I'm healthier physically and mentally.
WOW ! AND: salt restriction may be another point !
Table salt is the worst pure SEASALT is the best since sea salt resembles blood plasma@AL_THOMAS_777
Yes, the grass is always greener on the other side. But you don't have to move to miserably hot and humid Thailand to avoid fast food and dairy products, or to eat tomatoes in a papaya salad, or to exercise, or to stop watching nightly news from American networks.

All thru my 30’s and 40’s, now 57, I had prostate issues. My urologist told me, out of all the prostate biopsies that he’s performed. None came back cancerous where the man took zinc every day. I’ve been taking zinc every day for the past 10 yrs, and no issues. No more flomax. Just zinc, vitamin D and fish oil.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Keep up the good work.
@ruger6049 he also said diet too, when my flare ups would occur. It would happen after caffeinated beverages, especially coffee. Or if I had a couple of pizzas a week for dinner or Mexican food. The chemicals/spices in processed foods were causing a lot of flare ups. Along with certain medications, such as, decongestants and cough medication. And of course alcohol is a prostate killer. Those medications/alcohol cause the muscle around the prostate to become inflamed. Squeezing in on the already swollen prostate due to age.
Now, I drink a lot of water, and decaffeinated mostly everything else. occasionally a coke or coffee or beer, But in moderation. Stay up with other vitamins as well and I make my own water with trace elements and minerals. It’s a life style change along with taking supplements.
How much zinc do you consume in a day?
@@macchavez675 RDI is 11mg (8mg if female)

beta sisosterol too as a 5-alpha hydroxy redutace inhibitor.
The great thing about tomato paste is it's cheap and the tomatoes are picked much closer to fully ripe, when the lycopene forms. Hot house tomatoes picked green and ripened in an ethylene tractor trailer fall short.

I specifically asked my doctor if there was any dietary change I could make to help reduce my prostate size and he said "no". I was also unaware of the side-effects of the pill I am taking. Gotta love modern medicine.

Sooooo….. eat like an Italian and have a longer and healthier life…. Who would have guessed! Great video Dr Eric…. Thanks 👍
1kg of tomatoes chopped, gently boiled for an hour with 2 American tablespoons (one UK Tablespoon) of Extra Virgin Olive oil. Let cool and eat 100g per day. For me, after two weeks, nearly all symptoms have vanished. As it takes three weeks to get a Dr appointment, I’m on the plus side atm!
An Imperial, (UK), and American Tbsp are both 15ml or 3 tsps each. It's gallons, quarts and pints that are different with the UK or old Canadian ones being 20% larger. 1USG = 3.78L, 1UKG = 4.54L. The seeds and skin of tomatoes are bad for you.
Do you still have prostatitis
How's the diet going, are the symptoms still at bay?
Fasting can cure prostatitis
I had a severe problem and was about to have a reduction surgery done. A friend got me on to selenium (with enough iodine in the blood). That was about ten years ago and I now eat too much icecream (only one particular brand) and organic milk. I also experienced my hair going silky and stopped falling out. I had lots of skin cancers which were turning my skin to jelly and I was freaking about them too. The skin cancers dried up (they still appear) and I dig them out with my fingernails. I was in a bad state and started on 32-360 micrograms a day initially for a few months and then went down to about 200. I have made sure that I have high levels of zinc for decades. I am 68yo tomorrow 😊
Thanks for the great videos - I have watched many. One thing I am trying to figure out - some information points to tomatoes / lycopene as great for reducing the risk of prostate cancer - however, some other information says that tomatoes are considered "bad" for frequent urination in males, as their acidity can irritate the bladder and worsen symptoms of overactive bladder. Can you provide some feedback on this.

Prevention thru diet is a great practice, having your prostate and PSA level monitored starting at 45-50 is a must.
PSA has nothing to do with BPH.
@tomtai8165 That's a simplistic and simplifying statement that would be false most of the time and potentially dangerous.
@tomtai8165 Yes BPH can occur(but it is not frequent) without an elevation of the PSA. The later is an indicator of the well being of the prostate. Yes there are cancers of the prostate which do not cause an increase of the PSA, most do though. In general the more enlarged(or inflammed that organ is the higher the PSA level. Getting a checkup followed by a negative result checkup is far better than being told of the presence of a stage 4 later in life.
@@Cervin_Suisse Quite true. however PSA was discovered by a Dr. Richard Albin I believe and he has said that PSA was never designed to be a cancer detection tool but a tool for lab use only.
PSA is totally unreliable. All men over the age of 40 should be on a zinc supplement every day!
Tomatoes. After 2 minutes of cooking they had 54% more lycopene than raw. After 30 minutes of cooking they 164% more available lycopene. Also, since lycopene is fat soluble, eating some fat with it makes it more bio available. On milk. Canadian milk doesn't have bovine hormones in it like American milk.
Yeah, Canada is so much better than us stupid Americans, That is going to change now that we have Trump back! Plus we still have our gun rights, enjoy your over priced milk!

Drs in North America are forbidden to promote anything not FDA etc approved so it's not just the docs fault.

That's great advice but i am following the Keto diet and also OMAD and as such have to eat lots of dairy for the high fat content. I do eat lots of tomatoes thought with lots of salad and vegetables vegetables. So Dr berge what do you recommend.
I've had a very enlarged prostate and last year i had a holep ive never been so good my op was last December and it has been a complete success i can now pass urine normally
What did you do to treat it?
@ASD-zxc-m5e I had half of it removed last November as there were nothing sinister cancer etc it's nearly a year now, and my bladder is back to normal it's great to go to the loo and be my old self again
GREAT stuff!!!
What does it mean if you urinate FREQUENTLY, but drink normally and mostly iced tea with NO added sugar and NO sugar sweetened beverages and just one 16oz bottle of natural Spring water???
It's tomatoes, cranberries, blueberries and pomegranates. To a certain extent even citrus fruits like lemons, limes, kiwifruit etc. They all help to alkanize the body system.
Zinc of course - found in eggs, red meat, poultry, seafood etc.
However too much tomato consumption could lead to oxalates. Moderation is the key.
Of course add coffee, tea (whether black or green) in moderation.
Dr Berg, you are the gift from heaven. Thank you 🙏
Most welcome! Thank you kindly.
The Urologist diagnosed me with stage 4 prostate cancer. He did it in a terrifying way as if he was telling me I am dead. Then he quickly scheduled removal surgery. I got pissed off and got another opinion, 2 years later all metastases gone and doing much better mostly by diet and supplements. Never let a doctor tell you your are dead, half these damn guys are idiots or have ulterior motives, that guy was a surgeon, so naturally he was selling expensive surgeries. I have watched hundreds of videos and learned much more than even my oncologist knows.
Are there scientific studies that verify the efficacy of lycopene for an enlarged prostate & if so where can I access them ?
Recommend men over 40 eat the following daily for prostate health : 3 tblspns cooked tomato sauce (no sugar), 1 tblspn pomegranate arils (raw), 2 tblspns pumpkin seeds(roast or microwave lightly to soften), 1 brazil nut , 1 cup green tea , cup steamed broccoli, 1 tblspn omega 3 oil or 4,000 mg . Also recommend cutting out dairy if you have an existing prostate issue .
Don't forget to exercise daily. It really helps.
Doesn't do anything except imagine that it helps.
Sigh....it's food that caused the cancer...and switching your diet prevents it....@@tomtai8165
All those too! Must take a zinc supplement!
I love my dairy but here in Canada growth hormones and antibiotics are forbidden in dairy cattle so I don't have to give it up. I buy the 2X protein one as I don't eat lots so get a little extra protein that way. My raw pumpkin seeds go into smoothies along with the cashews, almonds, many fruits, hemp seeds and hemp protein powder with kefir and the mentioned milk for the liquid part.
The Best Channel on Health.
Lycopene supplements also work quite well for BPH.
Thanks for getting to the point.
How can an enlarged prostate be reduced in volume? Correct me if i'm wrong but the enlargement comes from extra tissue growth, not from water, lymph or air. Prevent or slow down the growth sounds feasible though.
Mine shrunk from 64 to 47cc a year after I added lycopene supplements to my regimen. Also doubled up on the Saw Palmetto and added selenium and lots of Omega3. I drink lots of milk, yogourt, kefir etc but here in Canada we don't allow growth hormones or antibiotics in dairy cattle. There are other supplements that also help reduce prostate size and related issues as well. Searching online and avoiding sites like WebMD helped me get back to near normal. Easily 90% better than 5 years ago.
What about the potential damage of lectins from eating tomatoes? I recently read about lectins associated with leaky gut.
Dr you have a sweet heart for humanity,which has unaccountable value to folks that understand
My pleasure to be of help. Anytime. Keep doing well!
I've been taking a very high dose Lycopene supplement daily (550mg/Day) along with lemon peel, orange peel and everything else known to mankind that potentially helps the prostate, but after 4 months, I haven't noticed any changes. My PSA is over 11 and my prostate remains very large. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker and exercise lifting weights daily.
Calcium phosphates. Check your food and Salt labels and get them OUT of your diet. Also, stop eating out as they surely use products with it because it's cheaper.
Three months ago I researched what you were saying, and I came to the conclusion that I could have 2 tablespoons of tomato paste every morning. I’ll take this along with a daily dose of Saw Palmetto. Now, at this point, I have a relatively few problems. I am able to sleep hours at a shot without having to get up or if I get up at night and she usually only ones instead of two or three times. I notice my flow is much better on a consistent scale. I’ve taken many of the different other supplements, including the most well known, but found Even though I saw good results with pumpkin seed extract, which made me itchy, and had to discontinue, I found that this was amazingly the most economical and actually most effective. I want to thank you for this video, and the recommendation of lycopene.
Really appreciate, we are grateful, thankful, of the good advice always improving our health; the proper ones to eat.
It's nothing. Glad to share info that can help you all.
Tomato Paste👍🥁💃
I had some prostate issues in my late 40's, getting up to pee very often etc. I started taking testosterone therapy and it cured my problems. 51 now planning on staying on a low dose for life. low test causes the issues and i feel i fixed mine just in time.
Twenty three years ago I was diagnosed by my doctor with an enlarged prostate. Thankfully, his bedside manner was non existent and after he removed his finger, he told me that the only treatment he had was the knife. That cheered me up no end. He took a piece of paper and wrote down 'saw palmetto' and 'zinc'. He then told me to go to my health food store and get them as he could not prescribe them. I did this, the saw palmetto came in tablet form and after six weeks my prostate was perfect again. I continued with the zinc for a year and then forgot about it. Sure enough, my prostate enlarged again. Back to the health food store! All fixed again. I am now 79 and take zinc every day. No more problems. I tell every one I know that all men over the age of 40 should be on zinc. None of my close male friends have prostate problems, including my idiot son. One side effect of zinc is that it puts lead in your pencil! Don't believe me? try it!
Zinc how much Mg?
@@master15951 I take 50 to 60 mg per day with food.
Lead in your pencil? Not trying to be funny but I really don't know the expression or what it refers to. Also--same question--how much zinc in mg and what type.
Ya gotta think about it for a minute. 😁
@@donb.7564 50mg zinc citrate and at least 320mg Saw Palmetto is a good start. Lead in your pencil means you don't suffer from erectile difficulties. I'm almost 70 and if anything I need anti-boner pills. :)
Dr. Eric, I totally agree with you. tomato is packed with Lycopene.. I eat them everyday with my eggs..
As you've said in a previous video and this one for me the solution was getting rid of all dairy, unfortunately I seem to be sensitive to something in dairy, I even react to ghee and whey protein.
And also fasting afterwards to help shrink it faster.
Have you tried raw dairy?
@@Esoteric_Athlete not yet, but I will try some goat milk to see if the problem is the A1 casein.
@@Gengh13 If you're in the US it's likely the growth hormones injected into the dairy cows to increase milk production and/or the antibiotics constantly fed to them. not allowed here in Canada and I drink lots of hi-protein milk.
Very interesting 👌 👍 🤔 and very informative doctor ..what if you hsve early signs.of csncer in the prostate whst is the procedure for this early stage of prostate cancer
sorry Doc but I'm italian and eat TONS of tomatoes in every kind of form, from sauce to salads and just the tomato itself and I still get up and piss at least four times a night, LOL!
There are other factors, of course!
If you want to balance your hormones and shrink your prostate naturally, try the dynamic duo of a healthy keto diet and intermittent fasting. This combination works effectively for weight loss and overall health, including keeping your sex hormones balanced.

Buona giornata mia cara Well, I recommend for you PYGEUM and Potassium. And the famous healer Maria Treben recommended salice a fiore piccolo (small-flowered willowherb ) Just give it a try. AND restriction from any NaCl (plain Salt) buona fortuna e ci vediamo su internet
The skin and seeds of tomatoes are bad for you. You need more than just tomatoes to control your LUTS.
You got to quit eating sugar.
He says some time eat tomotes and his other video says blend the whole lemon and drink he is confusing people
Although suffering none of the normal prostate problems, I noticed that, over the course of 10 years, my PSA level slowly crept up to 4.4, so I started taking zinc tablets. In one year, it went down to 1.8. As well as continuing to take these, I'm now also eating lots of tomatoes & wait to see if level reduces further.
Thanks Dr. Berg I’ve been listening to your videos for a few years. You’re the best! 🙏
With regards to Prostate health and function, it was a combination of eating less animal protein and eating more vine tomatoes / plant based foods along with standardised Saw Palmetto and Nettle root extract that i had noticeable improvement....😊
Very helpful video, my field auditor recommended your channel to me and I'm glad she did
Thanks for watching!
In the last 12 months (I'm 69) my flow started reducing, which I ignored. Nigh bathroom visits increased, so had saw pamenter...it did nothing. I rarly drink, but when I drank beer it REALLY made matters worse. Had a 2hr drive and drunk coconut water and thats when matters really got worse... rushed myself to hospital in agony, they inserted a cathetera. Now I'm on pills. No cancer. All is better. Only had the cathethera for 5 days, it was agony!!!
Hope to get off pills. I had been on zink and reservatrol, and ate a fair amount of tomatoes for years.
Thank you for all your awesome informative videos 🙏
You're absolutely welcome! Thanks for watching!
Very interesting vidéo
I take dutasteride and zinc regularly
And testosterone is very high and don't see a decrease of libido
I'll surely increase the intake if tomato everything
Thank you
This is wonderful to know, Dr Berg. Love learning from your videos. Thank you ❤😊
I'm glad that you like the information here.
@@Drberg @Drberg Hi Dr. Berg Can you recommend any supliment tablet for overall bladder and prostate health for men
"But other than that, it's totally fine!" 😂 thank you doctor for the info!
You are welcome, thanks for watching.
Overall Dr Berg is the over all king of information that has a large following! Thank you for all the help you give us.
Thank you for all the advice.I will try it all👍🏻
My two cents at age 75 with enlarged prostate. 50 mg ZN. Tomatoes most every day. Keto diet. ED. I will start resverotol supplements now. Annual trip with endocrinologist. And psa 0.5. I also inject 200 units T twice a month. So far, no cancer from digit check. Is there a blood test for cancer?
Saw Palmetto and zinc.
What about cherry tomatoes, water melon and eggs almost everyday ?
2:26 This video is a valuable resource for men looking for natural ways to control an enlarged prostate. The focus on a single food and its potential benefits is both informative and inspiring. I am excited to try incorporating tomatoes into my diet and see if it makes a difference. Thank you so much! 😃
Dr Berg, what about adding tomatos when making grilled cheese oregano bread and then top it up with a bit of olive oil, would it help?
He's not a nutritionist
Thank you Dr.Eric for this helpful information
I'm happy to help!
tomatos is all well and dandy dr berg you forgot to mention its a nightshade vegetable and it has to be peeled and de seeded
2:07 - Hahah, i love your sense of humour, Doc!
Is there anyway I can know the name if the medication that helps such case . My father is having a prostate inflammation and is affecting his life
What about Dr. Gundry's work on nightshades and lectins being highly inflammatory?
I switched to a carnivore diet and I have no problem with my prostate. I’m in my mid 50s and take zero meds. It was the best decision I’ve ever made regarding my health.
Whatever your diet is you should have your prostate checked on a regular basis at your age. No symptoms and all functions check good is not a guarantee that all is in order.
@@Cervin_Suisse Sure it is. And prostate exams are bullshit.
@@Cervin_Suisse Have you tried carnivore? If not, you have no authority to say that.
@TruthSeeker-rn1tm I don't need authority to make a comment. I did Keto by the book, dropped 40 pounds and reversed my Diabetes Type 2. I still eat low carb but in a less rigorous way. I feel great and don't see the need to try anything else. Anyway carnivore wouldn't be a choice I would make. I have nothing against those who chose this option, however there is not enough evidence it is harmless long term. No cave men and more recent ancestors never ate a 100% diet.
@TruthSeeker-rn1tm It is evidently you Sir who accaparate the authority to advance that a carnivore diet is protecting the prostate against cancer. I truly hope that easily influenced folks will not take your opinion for granted. It is a very dangerous advice you give here. :-((
My PSA score was too high, just a hair under the 'send him for a biopsy' line. My doctor was somewhat concerned. I reluctantly cut out ALL diary as an experiment, and my PSA score fell. Not by a lot, only 20%, but that was enough to convince my doctor that my prostate was fine. My need to pee at night disappeared too! Just as a precaution, I'll be getting my PSA checked again in a year's time.
Today's dairy delivers FAR more estradiol and progesterone than it did twenty years ago. Dairy cows can now be milked during a pregnancy, and pregnancy drives hormones sky high in all female mammals (people too).
I liked seeing the doc hold up a jar of home canned tomato sauce. Pure goodness in that jar!!
Cassoulet made by gently frying tomato paste and onions with garlic then just add some white beans and top up with water is a great healthy and vegan way to get your weekly lycopene boost, tastes even richer the next day
I eat tomatoes almost every day. I cook them with my bacon. They can cause joint pain and if eaten with acidic foods and coffee can cause urinary problems. Some people. They’re part of the nightshade family of plants, so be careful do your own research!
I heard nettle tea was used as far back as thousands of years ago for this issue and provided noticeable relief.
Dr. Berg thank you so much for your helpful videos. You make it easy for your watchers to be educated.
Would you consider doing a video on “bioengineered ingredients”? Our jars of mayonnaise now state that on the label. I tried to find out what that means and they don’t make it easy. Obvious I’m not eating it until I know what’s in it.
“Other than that! Totally fine😊
Thank you Dr Berg for sharing another great video. May God blessed you and your family!
Glad to know that you liked this post!
Red Maca dudes ....it ain't as well known for prostate as saw palmetto and pygeum but my last symptom was painful urination and it ended that whereas the other natural supplements I took did not
Thank you so much, Dr Berg 🙏🏻
Not a problem at all.
Regarding dairy: does it make a difference if it’s fermented (Greek yogurt or kefir) and/or lactose-free? Or is any form of dairy not good for the prostate?
Whoever reads this., I pray for you to cure all your diseases and to remove all your pains from your daily life.. 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you
Thank you dr. Berg.
My pleasure!
Eat healthy, exercise, take vitamin tabs, drink green tea and sleep well.. That's what I've done and just celebrated my 70th birthday lately. 😊
Happy Birthday ! 🎂
@plainjane-rb8ky: Given the picture, you´re a woman. That is probably 100% of the explanation, why you have no prostate problems.
So what? What’s that got to do with the subject?
@@rickbouthillier4394 People like Jane and consider her birthday worth celebrating, for you Rick not so much. 😵💫
@@rickbouthillier4394 😂💀
I'm 62 and don't have a problem with an enlarged prostate, per se, but I've noticed sensitives when I drink coffee (caffeine) or eat certain foods. However, last month I started drinking a cup of unflavored Kefir (L. Reuteri) every day, along with a couple tablespoons of sauerkraut, and my gut health and bowel movements are even better. Dr. Berg, I know Kefir is a milk product, but please tell me it's not as bad as milk since it's fermented? I'm not a milk drinker, and I'm not wanting to give up my cup of Kefir or the real cheese I eat occasionally. Thanks.
Depends on the milk it's made from. US dairy cows are fed growth hormones to increase milk production but that's not allowed here in Canada. I drink a glass of 2X protein milk every day with a meal. I use kefir in smoothies and take a good probiotic every day. When I eat a low fibre meal I take some Meta Mucil after as I have a constricted bowel. Bonus is my cholesterol ratio is perfect so says my doc. Oat bran in the smoothies and sprinkled on cereal helps with that too. I'm 70 now.
