I got diagnosed with enlarged prostate about five years ago. Usual symptoms, decreased stream strength, getting up in the middle of the night and dribbling. Decided to try natural remedies before going down the prescription drug route. I take pumpkin seed oil, Saw Palmetto, and stinging nettle root. Pretty much all the symptoms have gone. I never get up in the middle of the night anymore and the dribbling has stopped. My stream is better too. I also take Tongkat Ali. Using that has had a surprising side effect. I was beginning to show minor signs of male pattern baldness but since using Tongkat Ali it has reversed and my hair is almost back to it’s previous fullness.
Hi there. I just read your comment and I have to say I’m jealous. Is it a website you buy this stuff from? Do you need prescription from the doctor for any of it? I live in the UK and wondering if I could find the exact stuff you’re taking and hope for the same results.
@@HolyRainbowism I’m in the uk. You can get all this stuff on the web. Pumpkin seed oil, saw palmetto and stinging nettle root can also be got from Holland and Barrett but they’re usually more expensive.
@@PaulewingStHelens Brilliant. I don’t want to be a pest but was wondering if you could tell me exactly where you’re getting your stuff from other than Holland and Barrett.

I had reached the point of having to wake up and urinate around 4 times every night. Upon watching health videos by another fellow, whose focus is on correcting insulin resistance (and is big on a healthy version of keto), I decided to try reducing as much as possible all sugars, grains, and starches. Just 3 nights later, I slept the whole night through, and have continued to do so. Also, unexpectedly, 3 weeks later, symptoms of ED remarkably reduced. After about 3 months, most of my fat has disappeared. And other ailments seem to be improving as well. I'm rather excited to see if other things improve too.
what kind of replacements you do? less proceseed more better you will be, less inflammation, im struggling with protein, and get really hungry. when im been full on it
I have not actually done replacements. I don't think I have felt hunger more often. I might be eating more of the things that I don't avoid. But I'm no longer avoiding fatty meats. And I do not often go for lean meats anymore. That might make some difference.
@@flash522gp, first, even when I was young, I saw the obvious flaw in the argument that fat that is solid at room temperature clogs your arteries. If your arteries are at room temperature, you have MUCH bigger problems than hardening arteries. Second, I found out that the studies were intentionally skewed which concluded that saturated fats are bad for you. Those who funded those studies were pushing seed oils, which truly are bad for you. And information is accumulating that fat is your friend, especially saturated fats, like in meats. Eating fat does not cause fat in your body. But it does provide good energy. I used to avoid fatty meats, but no longer. By the way, I am now back down to my very skinny high school weight, back when I was a bean pole. My mom and brother both think I'm too skinny. But they're both overweight. And I've never felt better. My fat has melted away and stayed away.
@Rafael Shumaker Many thanks for the reply, my friend!! Your progress inspires me... I've been eating Chomps (a brand of grass-fed beef stick) and NOT avoiding animal fats, as well as eating more green vegetables, dropped 30 lbs, and am the slimmest I've been in about 30 years (not quite as skinny as when I did High School sports year-round, but nowhere near overweight!). Still eating my share of simple carbs, though, but after reading your comments (& I'm pretty sure I saw the same video with the doctor recommending cutting out the simple carbs and late evening snacks, and doing keto, Etc.), I'm working on further improving my diet in order to get over the prostate issues, Etc...Any other suggestions?
Thank you Dr. Ross. I took Saw Palmetto decades ago, but stopped. I need a doctor who cares like you do, especially with my current pulmonary health issues.

I have been taking Saw Palmetto, stinging nettle, and, biotin for years. I had a small bald spot developing in the back of head and growing widows peak in front. My bald spot is gone and widows peak isn't as prominent. It took awhile to work. It does work.
Dr. Ross...thank you for addressing men's health issues in such a classy, informative way. Many men shy away from this subject but it's so necessary for us to understand and make better lifestyle decisions that not only effect ourselves, but those we love as well. Thank you much and God bless...
I began losing my hair back in the 1980s and started using Minoxidil, which has worked for all these years... I'm now 92... and then I recently heard about the supplement containing saw palmetto and my hair is even thicker! Life is good! 😎
i started taking saw palmetto and i suddenly developed gynocomastia , but not just chest fat, actual painful lumps under my nipples . I still have them . I asked my doctor and the only thing he said was that they could cut the lumps out! Surely understanding the problem and treating it is better than cutting me up!
Take a test booster like Novedex PCT which is an estrogen blocker. It will cure that crap up. It's a pro hormone. Take pygeum for prostate while on it.
your videos this year and last year is better topics and quality outreach than some of your 10 years old topics. you have seriously improved. Now we are getting real value for our screen time.
I don't think people realise how devastating hair loss is to a man's self esteem and self image. It's seen in society as "stop moaning about it and just get on with it".
It really depends how you look bald. For one, it doesn't work great if you're not of the slightly more masculine phenotype. You also need to have a nicely shaped head to get away with it well. I always thought I'd be devastated if I lost mine when I was younger. My grandfather, father and full brother all were bald. My full brother (2 years older) lost his almost complete horseshoe by about 22! I have a much older half brother (16 years my senior) that still hasn't lost his and is about to turn 60. I was hoping that I was going to follow in his footsteps, but not long after 30 I started seeing the outline. By the time it was thin enough to say screw it, that it will look better shaved, I really quit caring. The look works for me, and I honestly love most of the other parts about not having hair (e.g., feels better, stays cooler, easy to wash and dry, no need to style). Unfortunately, I still have to shave it every other day of so to keep it looking good. I also go without facial hair. It kind of depends on what you're working with, though. I'm 6'4", 220lbs German and Italian, and decently muscular even though I'm extremely limited on exercise/gym time. Before you get worried, though, assess what you've got and also know that the older you get the less you're really going to give a f♡(
These days, it's much more acceptable to shave your head, and hopefully rock a great chromedome. But imagine turning 19 years old in 1971, and you are already beginning to noticeably lose your hair, within a popular culture where having a full head of hair is absolutely EVERYTHING. It very definitely changes the course of your entire life, as it begins to erode your self-confidence and your self-image. I mean, at the risk of sounding selfish & shallow, it's like, in one fell swoop, your dating options and choice of women are drastically diminished, in that, you can no longer marry someone who is on the same level of physical attractiveness as you(unless you're rich), so you are essentially forced to do all of your shopping for dates in the discount stores, if you catch my drift. That's not to say that you can't discover true love with a relatively unattractive person, but it does cause one to wonder what that alternate reality would have been like, had you never lost any of your hair.
@charles ezzell Yes you can ingest the oil. I buy my oil from Sprouts foods. It's a small 8.5 Oz bottle from Ellyndale Farms Virgin pumpkin seed oil. I take 2 teaspoons on empty stomach in the morning. The bottle will last about 4-5 weeks and cost roughly 10.00
I have been taking Finasteride 5mg for BPH and hair loss, for the last year and half. Yes there is the side effect of decreased libido, but with TRT therapy it solves the libido issue. My hair growth results are great! Due to the BPH issue my health care provider covers the Finasteride cost.
There's another doctor that says new studies show that "Insulin" sensitivity is the key component to BPH ! Supposedly every time we eat carbs or sugar our pancreas tries to deal with it with insulin and the prostate is enlarged from too much insulin in our systems.. even sugar substitutes trigger an insulin response.. Type 2 diabetes is a key factor as well because of the lack of insulin sensitivity the pancreas over produces it and that causes numerous problems in the body !
It is amazing how many treatments correct an enlarged prostate: they all mysteriously appear after a single search or click on how to shrink an enlarged prostate... This does look to be good info to add with my exercises for petter prostate health. Thanks.
Saw palmetto contains some beta-sitosterol but also comes with additional plant-based compounds. The primary difference here is the potency. When you want natural supplements for prostate health that are more potent, then opting for a formula that primarily uses beta-sitosterol is usually the better choice
Just found this channel and loooooove it! Someone mentioned they added watermelon to their smoothies and it helped. Well the aphrodisiac in the watermelon is actually the watermelon rind!!! That along with a combination of organic lemon juice and apple cider vinegar helps keeps my kidneys clean and creates some favorable results in the private section!
Just wanted to say that you are a traditional woman that men do not see or hear such a beautiful woman any more with so much intelligence and well spoken words to encourage us all I would like to continue to support your work and channel but there not a thank you selection to do so thank you for your time and your confidence smile
Just confirming to anyone out there who has a problem, saw palmetto combo'd with stinging nettle root does stop hair loss 100% , ive had blood tests done before and after, it has been 3 years now and 0 recession, everything has remained normal, and i feel good.
Dr Rachael please do a video on what happened in the prostate that caused a plasma problem in the blood including very high psa thanks good Doctor Love for you amen.
This is so important information to get out there! Well done. Being in my 60s now, I worry about prostrate issues. I am lucky that I don't have baldness problems. Doesn't hair genetics come from the mother generally? My father's mother had very thin hair and he is bald. My Scottish mother has had no issues and neither have I
Dr explained that everything isn’t going to work for everyone so if this info helps leave a kind message and if it didn’t work for you please don’t be discouraged. We all are searching for solutions. Much love and health to all. Peace!
Some say cortisol from stress causes a conversion of testosterone to estrogen, causing growth of prostate. Is that true? Also I got a recipe from Dr Eric Berg to eat a smoothie of whole lemon including the peel (organic preferably) and a cup of frozen blueberries. The lemon has something that reduces aromatase which converts testosterone to estrogen, causing the prostate to swell. I've been doing this for a couple months and 1. It is really good tasting. 2. I seems to be opening up the flow, I add mango and other frozen fruits also, some ground flaxseed too which lowers PSA. You can add other things too if you want.
for good reason because she is promoting bullshit and she will be the reason many people will face further hair loss when they could've stopped it immediately. She is completely overstating the frequency of finasteride side effects and she is ridiculously overstating the effectiveness of saw palmetto which has no real data behind it to show that it works. Presenting saw palmetto as a "natural alternative" to finasteride as if these two things can even compare in efficacy is stupid and she knows it, finasteride has an unbelievable amount of studies behind it showing its safety and efficacy, saw palmetto doesn't even come close.
For me Saw Palmetto elevated my blood pressure and triggered/expedited my baldness. I started taking Saw Palmetto at age 20 for Chronic Prostatitis. I had a full head of hair.
Pygeum, prunus africanus works better than Saw Palmetto on the prostrate. Its price kept going up because it was wild harvested and getting rarer. They couldn't get it to grow from seeds and plant groves of trees. The price is coming down now because they found trees could be grown from cuttings and hopefully they get cuttings from the best trees.
I just love your videos Dr. Rachel! So informative and professionally presented, and done with care (TLC) tender loving care. Thank you so much for taking the time to inform and educate all of us!
Besides pumpkin seeds oil and seeds and saw palmetto... ive noticed when i sprout mungs beans or lentils , a handfull brings me back to life ...ive read its because its a live food which the body barely has to process its available nutrients and proteins
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on an open forum, I have learned so much about how my body works, you are an absolute Godsend Dr. Rachel. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
For some reason I trust this ladies information over male Drs. Im 44 and my urologist wants me to take finasteride. But i want take it. I'm young and don't want to be on any meds.
Blackcurrant seed oil as well. Topically and internally. Highest GLA content which boosts hair growth, improves uptake of EFAs, reduces inflammation and helps the skins moisture barrier
Thanks Dr 4 simplyfing things so d avg person can understand. I always believe we all should try & understand our condition health wise so we can discuss with our Doctor & not just accept his diagnosis & meds. Thanks again Dr
Hello dear Doctor Thank you so much for your intersting information about Health,i do appreciate your job.I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. Take care and have a good time. All the best. Your follower from Algeria.
I took Propecia for three years not knowing this information. Now I’m dealing with some ejaculatory disfunción that I don’t know how to fix. I haven’t taken propicia for three years. I haven’t gone to any doctor for help and now I’m going to go to the doctor knowing this information.
I am nearly 70 years old and have been taking Saw Palmetto for over ten years to keep my urine flowing. I ran out once, and three days later it became very painful to pee!
Love your enthusiasm and appreciate your videos. I started using Saw Palmetto due to prostate discomfort over a year ago.. and it helped at 1/2 the recommended dosage. Sadly Ive not seen an improvement in my hair loss which thinned out significantly about 4 years. While the loss has slowed..I don’t see any new hair growth.
I heard that "blackseed oil" is excellent to rub into the scalp to actually grow back hair on the head. Have you heard of this, Dr. Ross, and if you have, what do you think about "blackseed oil"?
Thank you for the Information! This was more information then I Got from my Urologist. That’s Crazy it’s Been Over 10 Years of not having any information at all! WOW
Saw palmetto didn't help with m hair loss, neither did finasteride or minoxidil or castor oil or essential oils or even an expensive laser light therapy helmet. But Ill tell you what I eventually found that did work for me. There's a kind of vine bark in the Philippines called gugo wood that they put into shampoos. It took a bit more than six months, but quite suddenly, I found that I now have a full head of hair after suffering from baldness for some twenty years. Best thing about it is that they sell it in the Philippines for about $7 for a liter, that lasts for about 8 months using it every day.
Dr. You are the breath of fresh air. Thank you for all you do for us. All of the health care providers I had known all of them had no idea on natural cures or herbal supplements. All they knew it was top notch class slapping the patients with prescriptions for big pharma medications.
im 40 and noticing my hair falling out . I was on trt but stopped a year ago . im going to start saw palmetto and hope to see some difference. Do you do one on one consultations ? I get a lot from your videos but i would love to come up with a customized plan to reverse whats going on up top before its to late . thank you for you videos they are truly a blessing . I also follow dr berg who i admire very much . I reply would be greatly appreciated - thank you
What about addressing the calcination of the prostate, which in my case caused the reflection of the laser beam leading to back-burn the surgical instrument for decreasing the size of enlarged prostate. And the urologist went and performed the most bloody TURP procedure in order to complete the treatment of the enlargement?
Hello Dr. Rachel! Thanks for you videos and what you do. Have you ever dealt with any of your clients getting vertigo from taking saw palmetto? I have noticed since taking saw palmetto that I have woke up with vertigo several times. I have never experienced vertigo until I started taking this supplement. Thank!
We have a proverb, the best talk is the least and inducates the most. Doc wuth all respect you are repeating and taking long on each section I couldnt even make it till the end
When taken by mouth: Saw palmetto is likely safe when used for up to 3 years. Side effects are usually mild and might include dizziness, headache, nausea, and diarrhea.
I was on saw palmetto for about 9 months for MPB. It turned off my sex drive as a switch had been turned off. I lowered the dose and persisted but it made no difference. I still had a lot of hair on my pillow in the morning. Eventually I gave up and it took a few weeks for my sex drive to return to normal. I then started 1mg propecia. Within about 2 months I had virtually no loss of hair on my pillow and my sex drive remained normal.
I currently take finasteride and tamsulosin for prostate problems including weak stream and frequent getting up at night to empty bladder. Both of these cause side effects. After watching Dr Rena Mallik I'm going to ask my doctor if I can switch from Tamsulosin to Alfuzosin as it has less side effects. Should I also try using less finasteride and supplement with Saw Palmetto? Thank you Doc.
The reality is about 20% of finasteride users experience side effects. The difference between saw palmetto and finasteride is 1mg finasteride blocks about 70% of DHT while saw palmetto about 1/10 the efficacy. Saw palmetto is a good option if you have symptoms from finasteride though
Dr. Rachel, whoever is editing your videos needs to bring the audio up. Everytime I try to watch one of your videos I have to turn my volume up to the max and sometimes as in this video I still can't hear you well enough to get your information. Because of this, I will have to skip this or just read the CC but sometimes CC's spelling sucks.
Great video. Just wondering if there is any side effect with Saw Palmetto like congestion? I started on flowmax then finasteride and now on Alfuzosin. All congest me severely I can only handle a pill every other day.
Thank you for covering this topic. I have been using what I thought it was a reasonable version of Saw Palmetto for a number of years. I take it because I have allergy and decongestant meds that I have to take every day, which tend to cause my prostate to enlargen. I have not noticed any improvement in my Issue with a male pattern baldness as I have started this process in my early 20s and nearly 65 and I definitely have less hair now that I did when I was in my 20s. I am nowhere close to being bald but I see hair falling out every day when I shower and I’m wondering if you can recommend a brand of Saw Palmetto that is more effective?
Great video! I've been searching for the "natural" cure for hair loss for years... heard of DHT, tried the pills, etc. Fixing my lymph system by eating mostly fruits worked but is a lot harder than it seems. I'm going to give a high quality Saw Palmetto supplement a shot as well! Thanks!
If you want to really grow your hair back, use organic rice water and when the water is white drain it and put it in a container in the fridge, and next day start massaging it in your hair each night before bed, watch the Victory
Well, I’ve been using silicon dioxide for years, in a capsule. It’s from Denmark. Someone had said it’s the most abundant mineral on earth but lacking in U.S. soil these days from agriculture methods. It’s called bio-sil. I only do 1 capsule per day. My hair, skin, nails are in dang great shape. Best of luck to you 👍👍
You know why Saw Palmetto has less side effects than Fin? ..because its has MUCH MUCH MUCH lower efficiency with stopping hair loss and in regrowth. I think it's extreme misleading and dishonest by Dr. Ross not to mention this. That doesn't mean you should take Fin (I wouldn't do it) but we have to look on all pros and cons.
I am a primary care physician for. more than 34. years and I am truly impressed and getting the benefit of your so practical and resolving sharing. I love you Dr Rachael Ross, please never stop, your'e doing so much good to people. God.bless you.

@charles ezzell Yes you can ingest the oil. I buy my oil from Sprouts foods. It's a small 8.5 Oz bottle from Ellyndale Farms Virgin pumpkin seed oil. I take 2 teaspoons on empty stomach in the morning. The bottle will last about 4-5 weeks and cost roughly 10.00
@daltonhanleyjr4142 and this is for hair loss?
@joshuathered1100 Yes, This is for hair loss.
@daltonhanleyjr4142 is this oil the Nettle root or the nettle leaf?
Thank you Doctor I enjoyed your diagnosis of prostate cancer and loosing hair.
I have been taking Finasteride 5mg for BPH and hair loss, for the last year and half. Yes there is the side effect of decreased libido, but with TRT therapy it solves the libido issue. My hair growth results are great! Due to the BPH issue my health care provider covers the Finasteride cost.
Curious, how old are you?
Damn 5mg, is alot. Start low like .25mg. You don't want to crush your dht levels
56@@josepe2448
I was taking a DHT supplement had to stop, my DHT levels were to high after my last lab work. @@robertmoore9880
U mean your insurance pays for it.
There's another doctor that says new studies show that "Insulin" sensitivity is the key component to BPH ! Supposedly every time we eat carbs or sugar our pancreas tries to deal with it with insulin and the prostate is enlarged from too much insulin in our systems.. even sugar substitutes trigger an insulin response.. Type 2 diabetes is a key factor as well because of the lack of insulin sensitivity the pancreas over produces it and that causes numerous problems in the body !
Dr Ross knows what she's talking about , I have learnt so much from her
It is amazing how many treatments correct an enlarged prostate: they all mysteriously appear after a single search or click on how to shrink an enlarged prostate... This does look to be good info to add with my exercises for petter prostate health. Thanks.
Saw palmetto contains some beta-sitosterol but also comes with additional plant-based compounds. The primary difference here is the potency. When you want natural supplements for prostate health that are more potent, then opting for a formula that primarily uses beta-sitosterol is usually the better choice
Saw Palmetto irritate my body
I take only saw palmetto that has pumpkin seed and besides that beta sitosterol.
Your intelligence makes your beauty even more beautiful Dr. Rachel.
Just found this channel and loooooove it! Someone mentioned they added watermelon to their smoothies and it helped. Well the aphrodisiac in the watermelon is actually the watermelon rind!!! That along with a combination of organic lemon juice and apple cider vinegar helps keeps my kidneys clean and creates some favorable results in the private section!
Just wanted to say that you are a traditional woman that men do not see or hear such a beautiful woman any more with so much intelligence and well spoken words to encourage us all I would like to continue to support your work and channel but there not a thank you selection to do so thank you for your time and your confidence smile
Dr. Rachel, you are a beautiful person. Your passion to help others is really great.
EXTREMELY good explanation on the topic in comparison to top RUclips hits. Definitely subscribing. Fantastic information
Just confirming to anyone out there who has a problem, saw palmetto combo'd with stinging nettle root does stop hair loss 100% , ive had blood tests done before and after, it has been 3 years now and 0 recession, everything has remained normal, and i feel good.
I wish all doctors had the same attitude as you. You are fantastic ! God bless you.
Dr Rachael please do a video on what happened in the prostate that caused a plasma problem in the blood including very high psa thanks good Doctor Love for you amen.
This is so important information to get out there! Well done. Being in my 60s now, I worry about prostrate issues. I am lucky that I don't have baldness problems. Doesn't hair genetics come from the mother generally? My father's mother had very thin hair and he is bald. My Scottish mother has had no issues and neither have I
Dr explained that everything isn’t going to work for everyone so if this info helps leave a kind message and if it didn’t work for you please don’t be discouraged. We all are searching for solutions. Much love and health to all. Peace!
I'm glad you're giving us this knowledge on RUclips! Thank you.
My husband is bph sufferer i thank you for d valuable information
Some say cortisol from stress causes a conversion of testosterone to estrogen, causing growth of prostate. Is that true?
Also I got a recipe from Dr Eric Berg to eat a smoothie of whole lemon including the peel (organic preferably) and a cup of frozen blueberries. The lemon has something that reduces aromatase which converts testosterone to estrogen, causing the prostate to swell. I've been doing this for a couple months and 1. It is really good tasting. 2. I seems to be opening up the flow, I add mango and other frozen fruits also, some ground flaxseed too which lowers PSA. You can add other things too if you want.
this is THE first time i've EVER heard a doctor recommend ANY herbal supplement for a medical condition.
Are they her own ones?
@@mreverybody1150 she has a blend but also says to get the highest quality you can find, a compound pharmacist
My wife briefly had a urologist who recommended a couple of supplements. Unfortunately, she was relocating out of the area.
for good reason because she is promoting bullshit and she will be the reason many people will face further hair loss when they could've stopped it immediately. She is completely overstating the frequency of finasteride side effects and she is ridiculously overstating the effectiveness of saw palmetto which has no real data behind it to show that it works. Presenting saw palmetto as a "natural alternative" to finasteride as if these two things can even compare in efficacy is stupid and she knows it, finasteride has an unbelievable amount of studies behind it showing its safety and efficacy, saw palmetto doesn't even come close.
Facts!
For me Saw Palmetto elevated my blood pressure and triggered/expedited my baldness. I started taking Saw Palmetto at age 20 for Chronic Prostatitis. I had a full head of hair.
Interesting
Pygeum, prunus africanus works better than Saw Palmetto on the prostrate. Its price kept going up because it was wild harvested and getting rarer. They couldn't get it to grow from seeds and plant groves of trees. The price is coming down now because they found trees could be grown from cuttings and hopefully they get cuttings from the best trees.

I just love your videos Dr. Rachel! So informative and professionally presented, and done with care (TLC) tender loving care. Thank you so much for taking the time to inform and educate all of us!
Besides pumpkin seeds oil and seeds and saw palmetto... ive noticed when i sprout mungs beans or lentils , a handfull brings me back to life ...ive read its because its a live food which the body barely has to process its available nutrients and proteins
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge on an open forum, I have learned so much about how my body works, you are an absolute Godsend Dr. Rachel. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
For some reason I trust this ladies information over male Drs. Im 44 and my urologist wants me to take finasteride. But i want take it. I'm young and don't want to be on any meds.
Blackcurrant seed oil as well. Topically and internally. Highest GLA content which boosts hair growth, improves uptake of EFAs, reduces inflammation and helps the skins moisture barrier
Thanks Dr 4 simplyfing things so d avg person can understand. I always believe we all should try & understand our condition health wise so we can discuss with our Doctor & not just accept his diagnosis & meds.
Thanks again Dr
Her beauty caught my eye, her mind kept me here! Thank you so much for the wealth of information. Cheers!
Hello dear Doctor
Thank you so much for your intersting information about Health,i do appreciate your job.I wish you peace and happiness under the sky of prosperity. Take care and have a good time.
All the best.
Your follower from Algeria.
I took Propecia for three years not knowing this information. Now I’m dealing with some ejaculatory disfunción that I don’t know how to fix. I haven’t taken propicia for three years. I haven’t gone to any doctor for help and now I’m going to go to the doctor knowing this information.
My new supplemental Doctor. My second day subscribed and learning much from your videos. Thank you! 💕
Thank you Howard!
We're glad you're learning.

@@drrachaeli heard saw palmetto is SUPER estrogenic
@@drrachael
My mother has been having her hair thinning drastically in the last year or two. Any tips for a woman in her 60s?
Hormones in dairy promote cell growth - enlarged prostate. Sk if you do not cut down your dairy it may cancel out the SP effect.
Reduce dairy consumption and eat only hormone free food.
I am nearly 70 years old and have been taking Saw Palmetto for over ten years to keep my urine flowing. I ran out once, and three days later it became very painful to pee!
Love your enthusiasm and appreciate your videos. I started using Saw Palmetto due to prostate discomfort over a year ago.. and it helped at 1/2 the recommended dosage. Sadly Ive not seen an improvement in my hair loss which thinned out significantly about 4 years. While the loss has slowed..I don’t see any new hair growth.
Great content!!! Thank you for your upbeat and informed show!!
Stinging nettle and pumpkin seed much better than saw palmetto. Pygeum is really good for prostate as well. Increases libido.
you are right you did your homework may want to try horny goat weed too
By pumpkin seed do you mean the actual pumpkin seeds or the extract?
@@Prolific707 extract. I take stinging nettle everyday
That I you Scott I was about to say the same thing
@zendariuskincaid5205 sure thing! Pygeum and stinging for the win! Plus it will reduce liver enzymes taking Sting net
With post finasteride syndrome like ed I had used L-arginine, L-citrulline, pycnogenol, and yohimbine and now I am a bedroom warrior!
Dosage and Treatment duration?
Dosage & Treatment duration pls
My pattern baldness happened at 25 and it was at that moment I knew I was destined for greatness! lol
100 years ago virtually nobody lost their hair can you please explain the reason why😊
Thanks. I would also recommend pumpkin seeds/pumpkin seed oil to support the saw palmetto
Are you a damn doctor! No? Zip it
@@truckinmofo😂😂
Hi Doc...is saw palmetto better than pumpkin seeds for prostrate enlargement?
many thanks in advance
You should use both at the same time either or is great for the prostate
@@davidthornton7080 thanks 🙏🏾 I guess the doctor is MIA
😀
There are some prostate formulas that contain BOTH ingredients.
I heard that "blackseed oil" is excellent to rub into the scalp to actually grow back hair on the head.
Have you heard of this, Dr. Ross, and if you have, what do you think about "blackseed oil"?
I have heard taling black seed oil is very good for this and it can restore your hair color...but idk as I've never tried it. Worth a shot!
Thank you for the Information! This was more information then I Got from my Urologist. That’s Crazy it’s Been Over 10 Years of not having any information at all! WOW
Saw palmetto didn't help with m hair loss, neither did finasteride or minoxidil or castor oil or essential oils or even an expensive laser light therapy helmet. But Ill tell you what I eventually found that did work for me. There's a kind of vine bark in the Philippines called gugo wood that they put into shampoos. It took a bit more than six months, but quite suddenly, I found that I now have a full head of hair after suffering from baldness for some twenty years. Best thing about it is that they sell it in the Philippines for about $7 for a liter, that lasts for about 8 months using it every day.
Where do you get this shampoo? Brand name? Thanks
Vicks helps
It help the hair grow thicker
Dr. You are the breath of fresh air. Thank you for all you do for us.
All of the health care providers I had known all of them had no idea on natural cures or herbal supplements. All they knew it was top notch class slapping the patients with prescriptions for big pharma medications.
Great work doc...I'm an advocate for natural supplements
Great Doc. I love your detailed explanations.
This lady is SO good.
You’re just amazing!!!
always on top of your game as usual!
Thank you!
I enjoy listening to you because you give very great advice about everything, thank you
Is there a pharmaceutical grade saw palmetto that you recommend?
I'm blown away with this information. 5-alpha reductase. Pharmacy grade saw palmetto?! Thanks DrRachel!!!
im 40 and noticing my hair falling out . I was on trt but stopped a year ago . im going to start saw palmetto and hope to see some difference. Do you do one on one consultations ? I get a lot from your videos but i would love to come up with a customized plan to reverse whats going on up top before its to late . thank you for you videos they are truly a blessing . I also follow dr berg who i admire very much . I reply would be greatly appreciated - thank you
you stopped TRT? :O How's your test now?
What are your thoughts about beta sitosterol, which is supposed to be MUCH more effective than saw Palmetto?
Will increase urine flow (in my experience) but doesn't address the 5a-reductase portion..so won't shrink it i guess
6:45 Saw Palmetto
What about addressing the calcination of the prostate, which in my case caused the reflection of the laser beam leading to back-burn the surgical instrument for decreasing the size of enlarged prostate. And the urologist went and performed the most bloody TURP procedure in order to complete the treatment of the enlargement?
I love love love your passion for men's health 😍
Hello Dr. Rachel! Thanks for you videos and what you do. Have you ever dealt with any of your clients getting vertigo from taking saw palmetto? I have noticed since taking saw palmetto that I have woke up with vertigo several times. I have never experienced vertigo until I started taking this supplement. Thank!
same here....
Thank you gorgeous Dr Rachel you’re absolutely amazing ♥️🙏🙏🌹🌹♥️💞💞💕💕💕🥰🥰🌹💞💞💕💕💞
This is one of the finest black women I ever seen she's beautiful.
She looks jewish to me with dyed blonde hair🎉
@@RaymondWalinski nah man she looks Brazilian, or possibly from Switzerland with a good tan and Swedish root lift.
We have a proverb, the best talk is the least and inducates the most.
Doc wuth all respect you are repeating and taking long on each section I couldnt even make it till the end
Have been taking Moringa and Saw Permetto - seems to be working having been on Finesteride + Doxososin = terrible stuff ! Thanks for all your help!
When taken by mouth: Saw palmetto is likely safe when used for up to 3 years. Side effects are usually mild and might include dizziness, headache, nausea, and diarrhea.
What happens after 3 year?
After three years you start to see little palm trees everywhere.
@@samlebon9884 😄😄😄😄😄
Doc, love your channel! Good information.
Dr Rachel is so pretty & so knowledgeable ....
Ive heard so MANY Conflicting Stories about Saw Palmetto....I don't know What to Believe Anymore!
I was on saw palmetto for about 9 months for MPB. It turned off my sex drive as a switch had been turned off. I lowered the dose and persisted but it made no difference. I still had a lot of hair on my pillow in the morning. Eventually I gave up and it took a few weeks for my sex drive to return to normal. I then started 1mg propecia. Within about 2 months I had virtually no loss of hair on my pillow and my sex drive remained normal.
Zinc, Pygeum, L Arginine Citrulline, Vit C. Also for hair growth take Diatomaceous earth food grade in water a heaping tea spoon per day.
Ur sex got low I wonder were u drinking lots of beer
Yes it definitely does that.
💪🏾@16:20 Fellas, lose the weight, fix your diet, drop the alcohol/cigs. As she said, this goes beyond you, but equally effects your family.
Thank you Dr. Rachael. You’re a gem.
With this wisdom I go straight to Hollywood ! Gonna make millions
Dr. Rachel it's very hard to hear you😎😎😎!
I currently take finasteride and tamsulosin for prostate problems including weak stream and frequent getting up at night to empty bladder. Both of these cause side effects. After watching Dr Rena Mallik I'm going to ask my doctor if I can switch from Tamsulosin to Alfuzosin as it has less side effects. Should I also try using less finasteride and supplement with Saw Palmetto? Thank you Doc.
Try red light therapy.
Been using saw palmetto for more then 20 years. Most don't listen, those who have had profound results. Wu shu also good in a different way.
No snake oil here, very informative and to the point. Thank you Dr RR
there's Finasteride in gel form that can be applied directly on the head.
The reality is about 20% of finasteride users experience side effects. The difference between saw palmetto and finasteride is 1mg finasteride blocks about 70% of DHT while saw palmetto about 1/10 the efficacy. Saw palmetto is a good option if you have symptoms from finasteride though
20 percent is high when you take in account of how many people take it
What's the best saw palmetto supplement to take?
Life Extension
The extract softgel one
DR.Ross how much dose of saw palmeto needed for treating baldness and prostate for 60 yrs old? Thanks you so much.
320 mg saw palmetto daily
Dr. Rachel, whoever is editing your videos needs to bring the audio up. Everytime I try to watch one of your videos I have to turn my volume up to the max and sometimes as in this video I still can't hear you well enough to get your information. Because of this, I will have to skip this or just read the CC but sometimes CC's spelling sucks.
First time I watch your channel, excellent information, very helpful for me, you're doing a great job. God bless you
Great video. Just wondering if there is any side effect with Saw Palmetto like congestion? I started on flowmax then finasteride and now on Alfuzosin. All congest me severely I can only handle a pill every other day.
Thank you for covering this topic. I have been using what I thought it was a reasonable version of Saw Palmetto for a number of years. I take it because I have allergy and decongestant meds that I have to take every day, which tend to cause my prostate to enlargen. I have not noticed any improvement in my Issue with a male pattern baldness as I have started this process in my early 20s and nearly 65 and I definitely have less hair now that I did when I was in my 20s. I am nowhere close to being bald but I see hair falling out every day when I shower and I’m wondering if you can recommend a brand of Saw Palmetto that is more effective?
Start washing your hair, say once in 2 weeks
I'm also hoping she would recommend a brand to try?
Did you ever find a good brand?
Keep in mind it’s not necessarily what you take to eliminate prostatic issues but what you can cut back on like dairy and alcohol.
Dear Miss Dr Rachel.
I Iove you because you infuse your brilliance with so much love... And I know you're working very hard.
Yea bout a decade ago finasteride was linked to aggressive prostate cancer.
Great video! I've been searching for the "natural" cure for hair loss for years... heard of DHT, tried the pills, etc. Fixing my lymph system by eating mostly fruits worked but is a lot harder than it seems. I'm going to give a high quality Saw Palmetto supplement a shot as well! Thanks!
You will be wasting your time.
Sadly, all this woman does is give people false hope so she can sell you stuff that won’t work.
If you want to really grow your hair back, use organic rice water and when the water is white drain it and put it in a container in the fridge, and next day start massaging it in your hair each night before bed, watch the Victory
Well, I’ve been using silicon dioxide for years, in a capsule. It’s from Denmark. Someone had said it’s the most abundant mineral on earth but lacking in U.S. soil these days from agriculture methods. It’s called bio-sil. I only do 1 capsule per day. My hair, skin, nails are in dang great shape. Best of luck to you 👍👍
You know why Saw Palmetto has less side effects than Fin? ..because its has MUCH MUCH MUCH lower efficiency with stopping hair loss and in regrowth. I think it's extreme misleading and dishonest by Dr. Ross not to mention this. That doesn't mean you should take Fin (I wouldn't do it) but we have to look on all pros and cons.
Niacin with flush really helps as well
