Natural Remedies For Your Prostate Health

Hair loss is caused by a wide variety of factors. The treatment of this condition is still mostly an art; however, the list of options for treatment is improving. The application of vitamins for controlling this, or even the use of vitamins for reversing hair loss, is becoming more acceptable.

Using Vitamins for Hair Loss

The primary kinds of vitamins used for this are those considered antioxidants. Vitamin A is an antioxidant that can help produce healthy sebum in the scalp, while vitamin C is also an antioxidant that helps maintain general skin & hair health. Vitamin C is available in common foods such as citrus fruits, strawberries, kiwi, cantaloupe, pineapple, tomatoes, green peppers, potatoes and dark green vegetables and, therefore, should be a natural inclusion in your suite of vitamins used for hair loss.

Vitamin E is also an antioxidant that enhances scalp circulation, however, it can raise blood pressure and reduce blood clotting. If you are taking high blood pressure medication or anticoagulants you should check with your doctor before taking Vitamin E for hair loss. An alternative to Vitamin E is Niacin (Vitamin B3). This vitamin also promotes scalp circulation, however, there are some slight side effects that have been documented that may reduce your use of this vitamin for treating loss of hair.

Not all vitamins are called vitamins and biotin is one such example, and as it aids in producing keratin, it may actually help prevent graying and loss of hair. Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5) also may prevent graying and loss of hair.

Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 are both recommended for preventing hair loss and, therefore, should be used in your application of vitamins for loss of hair treatment.

Treating Hair Loss with Natural Products

In addition to applying vitamins for this, there are additional natural remedies. For instance Ginkgo biloba is a very popular herbal remedy that some believe delivers more nutrients to the hair follicles and so promotes hair re-growth. Although not a vitamin treatment for hair loss, shou wu, is an ancient Chinese herb that has been used for centuries for hair loss and baldness. It is frequently available in both tea and capsule form and is one of the main ingredients found in many commercial remedies for the treatment of this condition.

Two other natural remedies are popular. saw palmetto has the ability to protect the prostrate and can slow loss of hair down as well as re-grow it. Finally, it is well known that the chemical DHT attacks the hair follicle and causes hair loss in males and sometimes in women. It is, however, not known that the stinging nettle blocks the conversion of testosterone into DHT. This natural remedy can be purchased in both pill and capsule form. In conclusion, using a combination of a vitamin treatment for hair loss and other natural remedies, is becoming a more acceptable form of alternative medicine as vitamins for loss of hair is itself, becoming better documented and as a result, is regarded as safe.

Being diagnosed with prostate cancer nowadays is by no means a death sentence however it is imperative that you get treatment without delay. There are a number of prostate cancer treatment options available and the best one for you will depend on your individual case. You need to speak with your oncologist and decide what you want to achieve from your prostate cancer treatment so that the right course of treatment can be selected for you.

This can initially be quite difficult to do, especially when you are first diagnosed and in a state of shock however your oncologist will be able to answer any questions you may have and will be able to give you very beneficial advice. You might want to consider taking a family member with you to your consultation so that they can ask any questions that you might forget because of the stress associated with the situation.

Ask your oncologist if he/she has any leaflets about the various prostate cancer treatments because as you go back over your conversation at a later date you will undoubtedly forget important aspects that require consideration. Also ask your oncologist to explain the different prostate cancer treatment options to you in easy terms. Medical jargon can be overwhelming and confusing to a stressed mind so try to make things as easy as possible.

Simply put there are three major forms of prostate cancer treatment; surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Hormone therapy is also often used as a complimentary therapy and any combination of the three main treatments can be used together or in conjunction with hormone therapy. The type of prostate cancer treatment that you receive will depend to a large extent on the cancer itself and how far it has progressed.

When the initial cancer spreads to the surrounding tissues and then to other sites in the body, the type of prostate cancer treatment used will become more palliative than curative i.e. the treatment will slow down the growth of the cancer and help control the side effects rather than actually curing the disease.

In addition factors such as your age, general health and what you want to achieve from the treatment will also be taken into consideration. The elderly may suffer from surgery much more than they would suffer with prostate cancer and so they may choose to do nothing except slow down the growth and spread of the disease. Younger men however may want to get rid of the cancer entirely and so opt for surgery and then probably radiation therapy to kill any remaining cancerous cells.

There are a lot of things to consider when you choose your form of prostate cancer treatment and the decision should not be rushed. Prostate cancer is one of the slow growing cancers and so a few weeks of deliberation will, in most cases, have no major effect on the size of your cancer or the symptoms experienced. Take your time and weigh up all the options before deciding to do anything; after all, you cannot turn the clock back and decide again.

Key Ingredients:

Vitamin A is important for the prevention of night blindness and other eye problems, as well as some skin disorders, such as acne. It is also important in the formation of bones and teeth. Numerous other benefits include maintenance and repair of epithelial tissue, of which skin and mucous membranes are (1) composed, protection against infections, and antioxidant cell protection.

Vitamin B Complex: Eight different nutrients make up the Vitamin B Complex: Thiamin, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, Cyanocobalamin, Biotin, and Folic Acid. Though grouped as a family, they each perform unique and separate functions, which include enhancing the metabolic rate by breaking down fats, carbohydrates and protein for energy, and maintaining healthy nerves, skin, eyes, hair, liver, and brain function. They are important for heart health and are an effective aid in lowering cholesterol. B-complex vitamins also act as coenzymes, helping enzymes to react (2) chemically with other substances.

Vitamin C is critical for numerous metabolic functions, including tissue growth and repair, glandular functions, and healthy gums. It aids in the production of anti-stress hormones and interferon (an immune- system protein), and it can combine with toxic substances, such as certain heavy metals, and render them harmless so they can be eliminated from the body. Vitamin C works synergistically with Vitamins A and E; that is, when working together, they have a greater effect than the sum of their individual effects. Supplementation of this vitamin is critical, as the body cannot manufacture it.(3)

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin required for absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. It is especially important for the growth and development of bones and teeth. It protects against muscle weakness and aids in heartbeat regulation.(4)

Lutein is an important antioxidant for eye and skin health. Research also suggests that Lutein found in blood serum may be linked with less thickening of arterial walls.(5)

Lycopene is a phytochemical found to reduce the risk of prostate and lung cancer. With correct dosages, Lycopene may also reduce the risk of digestive cancers.

Astaxanthin eases arthritis and joint pain, sore muscles, and protects against heart disease. It is a potent antioxidant derived from micro algae. Because it crosses the blood/brain barrier, it offers oxidative protection for the nervous system.

Zeaxanthin protects cells in the eyes from free radical damage, which may reduce the risk of macular degeneration.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is a powerful antioxidant that aids in protecting the liver and pancreas.(6)

Green Tea Leaf Extract is used to lower cholesterol levels, stimulate the immune system, and regulate blood sugar and insulin levels.

Amino Acid Complex important for metabolic functions, such as helping the brain receive and send messages. Facilitates the absorption and assimilation of vitamins and minerals by the body.

Herbal Energy Blend (Peppermint leaf, Rhodiola rosea root, Eleuthero): Promotes stress-relieving effects for added energy, which contribute to immune system enhancement. Also aids in digestion.

It says in the second paragraph under Vitamin B Complex "Though grouped as a family, they each perform unique and separate functions, which include enhancing the metabolic rate by breaking down fats, carbohydrates and protein for energy, and maintaining healthy nerves, SKIN, eyes, hair, liver, and brain function. They are important for heart health and are an effective aid in lowering cholesterol.

Also:

Vitamin A is important for the prevention of night blindness and other eye problems, as well as some skin disorders, such as ACNE. It is also important in the formation of bones and teeth.

So, I would go with the first 2. This is informative for me as well. Thanks!

I’m trying to reverse hair loss(its not bad, I just don’t want it to get worse), I just turned 19. Are just two capsules a day safe? thanks.

Techblob, yes, I have heard about saw palmetto being used for hair loss problems. Where you can take it and in what dosage, you should refer to the product label. But there are many other types of vitamins/minerals for hair loss. I have enclosed an article for you to read concerning these vitamins etc. Good luck.

My biggest concern is lymphoma. I am being seen by my primary, and endocrinologist due to a thyroid nodule, and a neurologist. I’m trying to educate myself to help find answers. I’ve tried researching elevated B12 and the only things I could find said either Hepatitis or some cancers. My Hep tests (and liver enzymes) are negative/normal ranges. These labs were ordered by my neurologist because I currently have an Idiopathic Autonomic Nervous System Disorder due to sensory loss in feet and ankles according to him. (I won’t see him till after first of year) Other symptoms are low BP; bad itchy skin – lower legs, behind knees, perimeter of armpits year round, rest of torso in winter months, loss of appetite, fatigue, pain beneath/behind collarbones (for @ 6 months). Also have a solid nodule (was complex until after FNA) on thyroid along with smaller cystic nodules. Do not have Hashimoto’s antibodies. Have had an enlarged inguinal lymph – right side – for over 1 year, and for at least a week, enlarged lymph node right side – above voice box and under tongue.

There is a high incident of cancer in my family.
Father’s side:
My grandfather and 4 of his brothers had cancer.
GF – prostate, Gr.Unc.1 – Thyroid, GU2 – bladder, GU3 – prostate
Reason to believe Great Grandfather had cancer as well. He committed suicied in 1928 due to "health reasons"
Cousin – recently passed away from an aggressive leukimia
Mother’s side:
Mother has CLL, also a breast cancer survivor, Great Grandmother – stomach cancer.
Would appreciate any insight into all this.
I tried answering the responses, and this is the only way I found to do it. Don’t know the ages of diagnosis, other than my mother. Both CLL and Breast Cancer were under 50 years old. I mention lymphoma because of the thyroid nodule. According to the National Cancer Society – because we have a family member that had a thyroid cancer, and because my father also has a multi-nodular goiter – I am at an increased risk of developing thyroid lymphoma. If the nodes don’t go down by the time I see my neuro for follow up – I will ask about biopsy. From what I understand, that is the only true way to test for lymphoma. I will be getting tested this coming Monday – EMG, QSRT, Tilt table and skin biopsies (looking for nerve damage).My sister also has a low BP problem, and mine has been like this for a few years – regardless of my fluid and salt intake. That is in part why the neuro tests.
Auto-immune disorders also run high on dad’s side, including me – I have morphea scleroderma.
Thank you!

Hi,

The high B12 is barely high, if you are taking multivitamins this could cause this.

Almost all of your labs are normal, your monocyte % and absolute are a bit high, this can be from a number of reasons. The fact that you have multiple enlarged lymph nodes, you may want to ask your primary physician about getting these possibly biopsied to rule out any malignancies. I have included a website that I recommend to everyone and use it when I need to do quick research at work.

Hope this helps.
