Is There A Natural Remedy?

An extract from the saw palmetto berry has been shown in many studies to be more effective than surgery, and to be far less expensive and without any of the negative side effects.

The saw palmetto berry, also called, "serenoa repens", is native to the southeastern United States. It was first used hundreds of years ago by the Seminole Indians, who considered it a potent aphrodisiac. Over the past two decades, however, it has gained wide acceptance as a prostate treatment throughout Europe. In fact, most recent available figures indicate that saw palmetto accounts for 38% of all medications prescribed for BPH in Italy alone. That's a bigger chunk of the market than any synthetic BPH drug can claim.

The results of 32 published studies have shown that the standardized extract of the saw palmetto fruit produces a significant improvement in men with enlargement resulting in the following clinical observations:

• Reduction of nocturnal urinary urgency.
• Increased urinary flow rate.
• Reduced residual volume in the bladder.
• Reduction in uncomfortable urination symptoms

About the leading Synthetic drug "Proscar"

The leading synthetic drug, Proscar, has been shown to be less effective than saw palmetto, and it also, has negative side effects. According to the 1995 Physicians Desk Reference, Proscar is highly toxic and can cause birth defects in the male fetus.
