In April of 2017 I began experiencing difficulty passing urine. I figured no big deal. I was wrong. On April 20th, 2017 my wife found me unconscious on the bathroom floor with heavy breathing. She called the paramedics and I was transported to the local emergency room where it was impossible for them to begin an IV due to low blood pressure. I was in sepsis and the doctors told me a delay of another quarter hour would have resulted in my death. Nothing like smashing headlong into your own mortality to get your attention.
Let it be said that I absolutely hate taking most commercial pharmaceuticals, but I am also not stupid, (stubborn perhaps, but not stupid). The urologist prescribed the generic for “Flowmax” and I have taken it religiously as prescribed. But, being a believer in herbal and natural medicine, I began to investigate other treatments. That’s when my research uncovered Saw Palmetto.
The extract of saw palmetto has been used for centuries in relieving symptoms of prostate enlargement. It is derived from a fan-shaped plant that is native to North America. Experts consider saw palmetto as a gold standard for herbal prostate treatments.
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has compiled numerous studies that support the benefits of saw palmetto. Experts agree that saw palmetto contain fatty acids, flavonoids and beta-sitosterol that decrease prostate inflammation. Saw palmetto also alters certain hormone levels that affect prostate size. And unlike other medications, saw palmetto doesn’t change normal prostate-specific androgen levels.
How much saw palmetto should you take? Experts recommend a daily intake of 320 milligrams of saw palmetto split into two doses. It may take 4 to 6 weeks for you to feel its effects.
