Very true. And soooo many people are missing out. But, they always have the lamestream Drs . Yeah right. Not me. I'm 70 and I'm done with their sorry a...s. lol
Thank you, four years of fasting, keto diet , now low carb diet, no dairy has helped me reverse my enlarged prostate, in my last visit of my doctor, he said my prostate is normal size and I can feel the difference, thank you
@@edwardbanegas2153 Yep, for many years I had the problem, I think, it is two years that I don't have any bladder infection, now only use the washroom two times at night as six times before. I cut the dairy ( estrogen) , increased Omega 3 foods, cut Omega 6 foods to reduce the inflammation( major factor in enlarge prostate) , four years ago started with Keto and now low carb diet with 18 hours of intermittent fasting, no more alcohol( maybe one or two none alcoholic beer). Food for medicine!!!!!
Hi, I'm 65 years old and have had BPH for more than 10 years. My doctor is keen for me to have surgery, but I'm not. I saw your video 6 days ago, the next day I purchased a zinc supplement, taking 60mg each night before bed. 2 days after starting I noticed the urgency to urinate had gone and I only had to urinate 3 times a night instead of my usual 6 or more. 4 days after starting zinc I slept through the night; I haven't been able to do that for years! I have found my urinary flow has greatly improved and I'm not experiencing interrupted flow any longer. I'm amazed at the result, but I'm more amazed by the speed of the change. Thanks doctor, you have given me my life back.
@@rogerdavidson6236 Yes it really was that fast, the form of zinc I was using was "Zinc citrate dihydrate" 2x 30mg tablets. I was using the "Caruso's" brand, but I believe the form not the brand is important. After a few weeks I had used all the tablets in the bottle and my wife purchased another brand as "Zinc glycinate" and my dosage was 2x40mg. I found that over a week or so the symptoms came back, I went back to chemist and repurchased the original tablets and a few days later the symptoms started to subside again. I'm still not certain my dosage is correct and intend to try to optimise the dosage over the next few months as the symptoms are greatly reduced but not completely gone. The urgency to urinate is once again completely gone however. I hope this helps. Mike
@@MichaelPEaves Thank you for sharing that, Michael! I picked up some zinc citrate - not Caruso's but another brand. I'll try it and see if it works, then try Caruso's if it doesn't. Thanks again and all the best!
As a black male at 45 prostate cancer is a high risk. I began taking Zinc few months ago, but unaware that it helps prevent prostate cancer. Thank you Doc
Non-gmo soy, 1-3 tbsp flaxseeds daily, and cruciferous vegetables like kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts will significantly reduce risk of cancer and will shrink an enlarged prostate.
I'm new to Dr. Berg, but I can't tell you how much I'm learning from each video. I'm working to make changes in my life, and Dr. Berg is giving me the confidence to move forward and build better habits with my diet. Thank you very much.
Thank you for your tip, Dr. Eric. I increased Zinc and I no longer have two of the symptoms I had. One was at times I could not hold back the urination and often a few drops wet the unddies on the way (of running) to the toilet. The other would do the opposite, which is not being able to urinate once I sit down. After increasing Zinc I am back to the way I was in my 20's. I mean completely back to normal... I cannot believe it! I am a fan...
@@sameersadan20 I had an older bottle of Zinc from Whole Foods, that I bought before Amazon took Whole Foods over. I tried other brands and they made no difference. Unfortunately, the Whole Foods brand is not sold anymore, so I will have to look for a brand that does the job. And I will try to supplement zinc from foods, pumpkin seeds etc...
@@denniskean183 , I used to have the same challenges, I stopped consuming processed foods, red meat, alcohol, soda, processed juices, sugar, reduced salt. Now I am eating full table spoon pumpkin seeds daily, ground nuts, tomato juice , vegetables like kale, spinach/ others, physical exercises and the like, at age of 67 years old, body health improved. Many thanks to Dr Berg.
I'm 83 and since my dad died from prostrate cancer in 1984 i have taken the Herb "Saw Palmetto every day,,I have had some problems with my prostrate IF i fail to take the saw palmetto for a while, so i try not to neglect taking it. I dont take ANY prescribed meds Period, But thanks for this video, I will add zinc as a suppliment.
Just bought Saw Palmetto for my dad’s PC. Doc took him off meds because dad wants to get more energy. His numbers are still low, but are slowly rising (still not in danger). I pray this works 😢
Really thank you for mentioning that the problem is not necessarily too little zinc intake but is usually carbs or alcohol, etc. interfering with intake of zinc.
There is a lot to this statement. Having junk in one's system preventing absorbtion. Stop the junk, zinc levels increase with a clean diet. On a tangent, there are combination of minerals/vitamins that need to be taken together. Vitamin D supplement should be taken with a meal that has some fat in it ( avocado, butter , bacon, etc ). Iron absorption is aided by vitamin C. Antiinflammatory Tumeric is absorbed better with a little black pepper.
@@maalf1304 Although the law of attraction can be applied to what you said, part of getting healthy is also taking action and seeking or attracting foods that help your body heal or rejuvenate. Thinking that you are healthy does work just remember we live in the physical realm and we are beings that require healthy foods and thoughts to make our experience in the world meaningful and spiritual. Peace my brother :)
I've learned more from watching all of your videos on these various subjects than I have in decades of seeing doctors, in person. I've made many adjustments based on these videos over the last few years, and the results have been amazing. Thank you.
50% doctors don't know anything other than what they were taught in 12 years of school. The other 50% don't take the time to inform their patients. At the end of the day, we're numbers to them and they're paid to prescribe medicine.
1000% Now THAT is what doctoring should look like! Actually helping us understand how our bodies work, and feeding it with the nutrients it needs, as opposed to bombarding it with inorganic prescription chemicals. Thank you Dr. Berg! Great work sir!
Thank you Dr. Berg, following your lectures and initiating actual application improve the condition of my health. I am 83 years old. I pray for your continuous sharing.
I'm 58 and have prostate issues. Getting off (most of) the grains has had a huge impact on my prostate health...as in positive impact. Thanks for the good info. I'll be increasing my zinc intake.
Insulin is a growth hormone. The prostate will enlarge due to excessive insulin in the blood stream, usually caused by Type II Diabetes. Reducing sugar and carbs will reduce the glucose in the blood stream, reducing the amount of insulin.
Dr. Berg is helping so many here. I been taking Zinc, C, Multi Vitamins and others for years. Gym every day. Clean eating is key. It is nice to be healthier and stronger than 95% of the public. Let's get cooking.
Low prostate zinc is often caused by a deficiency in Zip1 or Zip3 protein transporters so the cells just don't take in as much zinc even if a normal amount is in the body
I'm 59 and I'm beginning to take these "prostate" videos "personally". The timing couldn't have been more precise. Joking apart, grateful for the info, Dr.Berg.
Lovely video! I'm 54 and had prostate issues, but I haven't treated them with medicine or diet... I've found that meditation 2x day makes most of my physical issues disappear. Just wanted to add this to any of those that are seeking additional information. I believe it's not just about what you put inside, but also how you go about your life. In the end, we are responsible for what happens to us
I have chronic prostatitis and it has been a debilitating part of my life, I also have BPH. I started doing a lot of research on ways to relieve myself of the pain and found it about 5 months ago. Yoga, deep breathing, and pelvic stretching exercises. It took a few weeks and it disappeared by about 95%. I have now incorporated full-body stretching and weight lifting with yoga and my health has improved exponentially. I am going to check into the zinc thing and see if that works for me.
I started taking Zinc and Quercetin because of my exposure to disease. I always suffered from oily skin. I happened to come across one of your other videos about zinc and realized...my skin is now good.
I just gave up Wheat and sugar. The only carbs I eat is bananas and fruit. Very little raw veg usually tomatoes and onions. I went to the docs at 43 years of age after suffering from after dribble. Doc offered me a man nappy on prescription for the rest of my life. I said no way. I realised it was because I was overweight 17 stone and my testosterone was turning into oestrogen and affecting my prostate. Now I've lost the weight I'm down to 13 stone. No more after dribble. I'm going to get some zinc. Cheers.
For us older men, this is probably one of the most important videos to watch. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told to stop eating red meat, go on a plant based diet (which I did for awhile and felt terrible while on it) and, the most aggravating advice from my primary care physician to go on a statin drug. I said no to all of that, and along comes this video to confirm my suspicions. I really appreciate this video, Dr Berg. Thank you so very much.
Same here, for every one of your points. I got recommendations for plant diets and statins from my local doctors. I could not tolerate statins, strong side effects. I stopped with those recommendations by eating more red meat, removing statins and adding zinc. I added zinc daily because of Covid actually, unaware of the prostate connection. Plus I removed much of the sugars I was ingesting. My blood panels have improved across the board the past two years.
@@steely10 totally with you. I just started using the zinc now. I’ve given up potatoes, rice, bread, and all sweet treats. Like you, my blood sugar has dropped substantially. Can’t beat Dr Berg for real and truthful advice.
The fact that prostate enlargement is directly related to zinc deficiency proves that zinc is such a key element! I've been taking zinc for years therefore I see the benefits. In addition which the video consists precious information for about zinc and its role especially over prostate gland health. Cheers.
My friend and my dad had prostate cancer, it was a horrible time for both and painful to journey with them through Radio Therapy in Liverpool. I did as much research as possible ( it’s a minefield as you can imagine) so much mixed information ( snake oil salesman etc) One thing I had heard was having low Testosterone in 30/40’s caused it, but my dad who is elderly was telling my the doctors said his testosterone was killing him. But as we now know, it’s your test converting to DHT. I’m 40+ and got my Testosterone checked, I was really low and this explains why I didn’t feel like a man anymore. I’m now on Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and it has changed my life. I have a very healthy diet, no alcohol, little sugar, no bread, just very simple meals with no processed food... I feel like I’m 10 years younger, I took up weight lifting too. Get your Testosterone checked guys... Thank you Dr Berg.
Wow, this is amazing content, I reduced grain and cereal intake after being vegan for three years , started increasing meat consumption and supplementing zinc, I feel amazing
That is meat propaganda. You do not need to eat meat. I have a very happy prostate, and have been vegatarian for over 4 decades, vegan for two. Just make sure you eat plenty of foods with zinc in them. It's good for avoiding colds as well.
Thank you Dr.Berg.After listening to your video and reading the comments therein,I took zinc last night for the first time and I woke up only two times rather than three times.Only in one day it made the difference.I cannot thank Dr.Berg.enough.God bless him in abundance .
Just today I was thinking about searching this very topic and there it is. I can't thank enough the whole team of this channel and especially Dr. Breg who's been sharing his knowledge in a simplified manner. I belong to a large family with diverse eating habits and almost everyone has a specific deficiency linked to our food choices and lifestyles. This channel is helping me alot in collecting relevant information to address the health issues of my family members. Thanks alot! Stay blessed!
Why do you have to listen to this to get the name of one nutrient? I scrolled through this pain I still don't know the name of the nutrient. This guy is self-serving. He's just selling a book and that's all.
A little over a month ago I watched your video on foods to eat to reduce or shrink the prostate. I had blood work done and my PSA was 4.16, so the urologist said come back in 30 days for more blood work. After that visit and watching your video, I made sure I added these foods to my diet. I had my 30 check up yesterday and my PSA was 4.15. I told the doctor I was working on shrinking my prostate with my diet. He rolled his eyes and said, what a waste of time. He more than once said that my numbers are not that high, he wanted to schedule me for an MRI, I said, since my numbers are not that bad, give a year and let me continue working on my diet. "OH NO", was his reply. So now I have to go back in 3 months, I can tell he already annoyed with me because I will apparently be seeing a different person when I return. I will spend the next 3 months shoving everything down my throat that shrinks a prostate, (except oysters, I can't do that). I am always amazed at how little a doctor will work with you at trying to improve your health. If something is broken, go to the doctor to get it fixed, if you want to learn how to live a healthy lifestyle, watch RUclips!
Good Luck! Diet is the most powerful way we can make changes to our body, the Doc is probably used to most people Failing. Something that has helped me was increasing my Potassium intake as well. Dr Berg has a great video on that, with the best foods to eat (not Bananas, dark leafy greens etc). Perhaps it might help you as well, Good Luck!
The doctor wanted to sell you his medicine/drugs and was disappointed that you wouldn't be copping from his corner. Drug dealers only care for their customers and their pushers.
@@mrfoodarama I have been cooking my own food for the past 20 years, I eat very healthy food. However, I was consuming too many carbs from fruits, like apples, raisins, etc. So after watching his video, I have cut down on them and lost 10 pounds in the last month. I do eat leafy greens, but I still have to continue with some of fruits because I have lived a very constipated life, the fruits seem to help me more in that area than the leafy greens. I do eat a half a banana a day. Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
Hi there I've had some medical issues with my prostate recently. I've had a test and fortunately it's not cancer. I've been talking zn for other purposes and it improved my prostate health. It's no longer painful and I feel at ease on my bike. I can retain urine. It flows easily. There's no dripping. I no longer wake up at night. And I'm 71 years old. Thanks Dr.
I'm in my mid 50's and read about the importance of zinc for prostate, during the 90's, from one of Taoist practitioner Daniel Reid's books. I highly recommend his work. He also gave an interesting statistic regarding consumption of lamb (the other red meat) and lower instances of prostate issues in the Mediterranean region where it is highly consumed. Turns out that Lamb... is high in zinc. But a much better alternative to beef. Bingo.
Great information! As always.. Unfortunately I had radical prostatectomy in August and still need radiation for the margins. My point is listen to this. No guarantee as dr berg has said but my psa was 63, I think if I had followed these guidelines, I really believe it could have made a dramatic difference! Thanks dr berg for the research
Dr. Berg, you provide a quality service, powered by independent thinking and independent research, devoid of financial ties to the pharmaceutical-industrial complex. Your assertions are backed my your research and reasoning. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr. I was used to eating red meat once a month and barely are eggs. My diet will have changed this coming week. Your explanation is amazingly clear.
Hi Dr Berg i have been taking your advice on lots of things but this vid re Zinc has changed my life. I started taking zinc and my flow has improved no end also almost qit sugar and working on carbs. I am now taking your advice on not eating after 630pm to relieve the nocturia. Thank you so much you are a true Doctor. LEGEND ❤
@@anikaibnat9636 hi Anika, if you are sister this is not for you but if its for yours husband or brother then i take 15mg daily, but also back it up with foods that contain zinc. Hope this helps.
Do you still have prostatitis, still have the symptom of urination like get up at night and frequent micturition, how do you treat, can you say your treatment method and experience specifically.
Interesting video. Although Dr Berg indicates what can reduce the bodies ability to absorb zinc he misses out the main element - how do you detect what levels of zinc you have in your body?. Are zinc levels in blood / plasma indicative of levels of zinc in the prostate? This knowledge is essential since too much zinc can also cause issues with zinc / copper imbalance. Definitely need a part 2 to this video to give much more valuable information.
The first reference given is about zinc in the blood stream compared to prostate states. Yes, low blood zinc is associated with prostate cancer. However, high blood zinc levels are associated with an enlarged prostate. Dr. Berg’s conclusion that we should take more zinc simply doesn’t follow from the provided information.
@@stisca very interesting, I believe its easy to over do the zinc ballance supplement, maybe just "one a week" would keep you the correct zone, Thanks Stan.
65 here, full carnivore (LOTS of red meat), lots of exercise and don't drink. The plumbing works as well or better than ever. Thanks for the info Dr Berg.
A month after I started Keto, a dear friend passed from prostate cancer. He was a marathon runner, ate mostly vegetarian but did eat meat and eggs occasionally, and did eat some sweets, but not all the time. I was having flow and starting issues. On keto, they were gone within a couple months, or less. A few months after beginning keto, I had hemheroid surgury, and while the doc was there, checked my prostate. He sounded suprised that someone my age had a "NORMAL" prostate. I know my testosterone is much higher than pre-keto too. I was supplementing to increase T. I went off of supplements because I want to get tested, find out what my base T is. I began taking a Zn supplement 3 months ago. Good info doc. Keep it coming.
I gotta say...A Huge Thank YOU Doc for sharing your wisdom with the rest of us who take time to listen and then get after applying these benefits. All the best to you and everyone
Doc..I dnt know what universe u journey thru and found me but im happy u did..thank you once more ..our favorite doctor..blessings always to you and the fam og💥💥💫💪🏾
Mr Berg, i want to thank you for sharing these kind of information with us. Forever thankful and grateful to have you on youtube. I hope you and your family have a long and healthy life sir.
Thanks, Dr. Berg for the information you passed down to us... you are truly the "knowledge doc". I have seen an improvement in my health over the last year since I started watching your videos, especially with weight loss from intermittent fasting. The last thing, your beard looks great, and thanks for putting your items on Amazon even though it probably cost you more to do so.
I am 64 now and had to get up 3 to 4 times in the night to urinate due BHP and since Aurvedic treatments were progressing slow I started taking small quantities of boilled Cassawa with lunch and dinner. With in a few days now I feel that every thing is back to normal and now I pee like a teenager. Even if I drink some water in the night I don't get up in the night.So I think this a good news for any body having similar health issues. I also wish to mention that Cassawa reported to gave cured cancer as well.
Wow I started taking zinc tablets to prevent covid but after about a year I started feeling much much better with my prostate. I had enlarged prostate but now it feels normal
So if I am reading this correctly you noticed the improvement after a year of taking zinc? Lots of people expect instant results. It seems it will take time to shrink. Thanks for any feedback!
I am almost crying every day ! These are my underlying problem 1. Type 2 diabetes 2. Enlarged prostate at 32 years age with 35 reading of prostate 3. ED 4. High triglycerides 5. Low LDL 6. High ferritin I have started doing one meal a day. But I m so scared. Got married recently but always doubting myself and crying from inside.
Been taking zinc supplements for years, for immune systems. Discovered and started taking stinging nettle supplements. Wow, nettle really helps with prostrate health, size, urine flow the whole bit. Surprised you didn't include Stinging Nettle in this video, you have talked about it before. Also agree taking a copper supplement with zinc for balance in the brain and nervous system.
I'm starting to realize how critical Zinc is to our bodies...thanx to you. (Which begs the question: How is it still allowed to be sold at stores? You KNOW Big Pharma would LOVE to ban it, thereby making it MUCH harder to stay healthy....you know the story.....)
Ok thanks, let's get it Doc. I'm going to live to be 100 and still viral, listening to you. 👍 No slowdowns, no slowdowns. No wheel chairs 👎 No walkers 👎. I'll be 100 years old still having children 👉💪. Adam lived 900 years because there was no MacDonalds. There was no fast food.
Two years ago I met a woman who was doing 'Dirty Keto'. She had lost a lot of weight but was still had health issues. She obviously didn't learn Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto/IF. Losing weight is a side affect, thus 'Getting healthy to lose weight'.
Thank you, Doctor. I also read about pumpkin seed oil and read about it. I also grind up pumpkin seeds a couple of times a week and add them to my breakfast oatmeal.
Look for my only and first comment and you will see your problem. 7 months ago I put a comment and I haven't received any thumbs up or comment or question, anything. Why cause people don't know anything, but they think they know all. is a little name called Doctor coming and making a video, people believe right away, but when no name came and comment, no one put attention.
I’ve been taking zinc and cealis 5 mg daily for over a year. No real changes. Just once in a while I feel better like shrunken and other days it’s enlarged. I found an external prostate massager that help’s reducing the size of prostate. I’ve been taking saw palmetto, pumpkin seeds, pygem, beta sisterol and a few others. I don’t ejaculate much, had a problem with erection but I’m on my 9th week of using “the phoenix” which has helped a lot! I’m not done with the program yet but it has helped a lot! I’ve heard prp or P shot helps too!
After taking the whole regime of supplements such as Saw palmetto, pumpkin seeds, pygeum bark and beta sitasterol. Do see any difference in you sexual life such longer and stronger erection, no premature ejaculation and sensitivity in penile veins and no inflammation in body if yes please do post you experience too so that you know it would help all the people.
Great Video! Something that has really helped me- almost immediately is prostate massage. Sure, maybe a little embarrassing. And important to do this right and get professional Guidance. People have hurt the lining of their bowels or yes, had improper things stuck up there. Do your own due diligence beforehand too.
Thank you doctor berg. You have really helped me. I have been taking zinc bisglycinate and copper bisglycinate for about 3 weeks now. I may get up one time at the most a night to urinate. Your advice really helped.
Do you still have prostatitis, still have the symptom of urination like get up at night and frequent micturition, how do you treat, can you say your treatment method and experience specifically.
DR Berg is a Such great gift for humanity ...we are improving our lives day by day...thank u so much for helping us...its very hard to find the right thing in this modern and another words fake world...
Seriously? Has this "doctor" actually looked at medical studies? First, studies found that vegans have the highest testosterone levels. Second, legumes have HIGH levels of zinc, but without the health penalty of meat. Red meat in particular increase your risk of cancer, heart disease... essentially all kinds of nasty illnesses. Problem is substance inherent to meat, such as animal protein, and it's not just low quality meat having problems!
Dr. Berg, could you do a video on how zinc works in the female body? Also, maybe a video on vegan options for zinc and a look at reducing phytates by soaking lentils and beans before cooking or other preparations to reduce physic acid? Thank you!!! 💙 this was very interesting!
i am 37 male i have type 2 diabetes and enlarged prostate i've done 2 surgical procedures each time after 3-6 monthes of the procedure the problem comes back no doctor unfortunately told me about zinc or what to do to help they just told me its a chronical problem and i will have to do more procedures in the future, after watching your video i started taking zinc 25mg every day along side managing better blood sugar, fasting ...etc now i am in best shape of in 15 years i didnt feel this good urination is very good and ejaculation not painful and amount of semen as it was of my early 20's ....thank you Dr. Berg
All the males in my family, as far back as we can trace, had enlarged prostrate, and death from prostrate cancer. I am 69, cancer free and an occasional bout with BPH. When I stay strictly on my normal foods for the past 15 years, that being lots of green veggies, other veggies, lean red meats, eggs, clams, mussels, shrimp and chicken, no alcohol, no processed sugars, no super spicy foods, and no caffeine, and very little dairy, BPH goes away. (Also very few grains and no breads) I am convinced that what a man eats, especially men with the genetic blue print for prostrate cancer, determines the health of the prostrate. I have a mild dairy allergy. These are the items that will cause me to have a bout of BPH, in order starting with the worse: Alcohol, dairy, sugars as in candy, super spicy food and caffeine. I have tested these items in my system for years now and basically leave them alone. Interestingly, I also use an app to track my vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, etc. and my daily zinc intake is more than the RDA. btw, I take no meds. One final item, since the prostrate is somewhat basically a muscle, I added a lot of core exercise to my workout routine. Good luck and best wishes.
Wow, exactly what I go through and im only 30. Thank you for this, ..... My system is 99% like yours. I will keep off, dairy sugar and red meats forever as I can, as Ive done for the last 2 years
Hey Dr. Berg, this is a trip! I take zinc supplements (perhaps not enough) as well as colloidal minerals, I eat organic beef (only 1/2 lb. per week) I eat tons of fat (mostly olive oil and nuts) I eat very little grains and am not on any medication. My prostate, though, is enlarged and does effect urination, etc. and is a cause of some concern. I appreciate the discussion this video has spawn - perhaps my stomach acid level is very low, and maybe I need to start taking Saw Palmetto. Thanks for putting these videos out!
im in almost the exact same boat...couple of things i went on full keto for a month, no more than 50 grams of net carbs per day, after a month my urine flow; while not perfect, was Muuuuch improved...you have to cut down all carbs, not just grains, i only say this because you mentioned 'grains' but no other carbs ....also i've read that foods like grains, nuts, dairy and spinach inhibit zinc absorption , which sucks because i snack on walnuts and cooked spinach is a Huuuuge potassium source ...i also noticed that when i have even a small amount of lower sugar ice cream from Publix, it seems to affect (hurt) my urine flow pretty fast, so there is something to be said for carbs and dairy messing with the prostate / zinc gonna try straight liquid zinc, and take it as far away as i can from anything that can slow or stop the absorption hope this info helps
With Zincs role (as well as vit D etc) in covid prevention, it seems good to stay on top of your zinc. I've heard that you want to make sure you don't overdue zinc but aside from that I think its role in health has been vastly overlooked by so many for too long.
I've been taking zinc and eating pumpkin seeds dating back to my 20's in the 90's. The information has been around for some time, and I'm glad I found it early.
A friend of my takes now for 2 years every day 85 mg zink Picolinate and eats a lot of grass vet beef and last December he good not urinate. His prostate number was 8 and after 3 months of taking wilgenroosje his number was dropped to 3 and he can urinate perfectly!!! Match love to you Dr. Eric Berg I learned a lot from you thank you!!! Greetings from the Netherlands
Dr. Eric Berg, I agree that zinc plays vital role in prostate health. What if it gets enlarged due to stopping of urine for long hours in young men ?? Because it is also a factor of prostate enlargement. Does zinc plays the same role here ? Thank you. 😊
Thank you so much Dr I am a patient of benign prostate hyperplasia this information is very useful for me I start using more zinc in my diet thank you so much
Hi Dr. Berg, I am fan of your videos. Thank you for the amazing service to wider communities. I am 50 years old male with mild diabetes. I also have an enlarged prostate. I am currently taking Tamsulosin HCI 0.4mg and Dutasteride 0.5mg to tackle my enlarged prostate. Is it ok for me to take zinc supliment also, will there be any drag interactions? Please advise. Many thanks in advance. ☺️.
FYI, I was taking tamsolosin and dutesteride for enlarged prostate proscribed by a physician who only took my word that I was getting up at night to urinate. No PSA test, no digital exam. I took these pills for a year and had no improvement at all. I have since stopped and also decreased my coffee consumption and guess what. My getting up at night has decline to about half. My guess is if I quit coffee entirely, getting up at night would stop. I’m 78 years old and I love coffee so I’ll just call my bathroom trips exercise and go on.
I stopped eating red meat many years ago and recently I developed prostatitis. I started to use zinc and saw palmetto and noticed a big improvement. I am trying to cut down on sugar snacks. I noticed my body was craving raw spinach and nuts for some reason and after checking these are good sources of zinc if you do not eat red meat.
Dr. Berg Awesome to find someone who's willing to talk facts about supplements, my late mom was an RN, since she passed in '13 I feel I've been on my own, however I am proactive. I'm in great health, & consistently have great labs, albeit, only blood work. I have been talking zinc since before my prostate started enlarging, and doubled up when COVID hit. The only thing on your list that I take is a Staten. Should I be taking even more zinc? Or is there something I could take to help my body absorb more?
I am a 56 yr old male and my prostate grew and my urine become almost impossible to eliminate from the body. Thank you for this information I will begin to take ZINC!
This is one the best uses of RUclips: Having doctors share their knowledge with the public.
Very true. And soooo many people are missing out. But, they always have the lamestream Drs . Yeah right. Not me.
I'm 70 and I'm done with their sorry a...s. lol
Yeah but the problem with youtube is there is so much conflicting information,,,, One person says this is good, the next person says the opposite.....
This is all public knowledge. This chiropractor does a great job of researching and we should all follow suit! Awesome channel.
Best way to get nutrition advice from a chiropractor
I love how you summarize your entire recorded video in the description. No click bait and no cliff hanger. Just pure easy useful information. ✌️
Amen!
Let’s all take medical advice from a back-cracker…
I second that.
Yea. He quite amazing with this. The best doc in the world, no doubt
since I cannot afford a doctor right now. your videos help me immensely to get the right vitamins to keep me healthy
Take charge of your health by getting educated. Depends less on them and don't be like the sheeple
Thank you, four years of fasting, keto diet , now low carb diet, no dairy has helped me reverse my enlarged prostate, in my last visit of my doctor, he said my prostate is normal size and I can feel the difference, thank you
How much zinc should one take per day and what's the best form
Is that for real
@@edwardbanegas2153 Yep, for many years I had the problem, I think, it is two years that I don't have any bladder infection, now only use the washroom two times at night as six times before. I cut the dairy ( estrogen) , increased Omega 3 foods, cut Omega 6 foods to reduce the inflammation( major factor in enlarge prostate) , four years ago started with Keto and now low carb diet with 18 hours of intermittent fasting, no more alcohol( maybe one or two none alcoholic beer). Food for medicine!!!!!
@@HS99876 thank you. what carbs do you eat now?
what omega 3 foods? or is it supplements?
How do you feel the difference if you don’t mind me asking. Thanks
Hi, I'm 65 years old and have had BPH for more than 10 years. My doctor is keen for me to have surgery, but I'm not.
I saw your video 6 days ago, the next day I purchased a zinc supplement, taking 60mg each night before bed. 2 days after starting I noticed the urgency to urinate had gone and I only had to urinate 3 times a night instead of my usual 6 or more. 4 days after starting zinc I slept through the night; I haven't been able to do that for years!
I have found my urinary flow has greatly improved and I'm not experiencing interrupted flow any longer.
I'm amazed at the result, but I'm more amazed by the speed of the change.
Thanks doctor, you have given me my life back.
Wow, it was really that fast? That's incredible! Has it lasted since you posted this commented?
@@rogerdavidson6236 Yes it really was that fast, the form of zinc I was using was "Zinc citrate dihydrate" 2x 30mg tablets. I was using the "Caruso's" brand, but I believe the form not the brand is important.
After a few weeks I had used all the tablets in the bottle and my wife purchased another brand as "Zinc glycinate" and my dosage was 2x40mg.
I found that over a week or so the symptoms came back, I went back to chemist and repurchased the original tablets and a few days later the symptoms started to subside again.
I'm still not certain my dosage is correct and intend to try to optimise the dosage over the next few months as the symptoms are greatly reduced but not completely gone. The urgency to urinate is once again completely gone however.
I hope this helps.
Mike
@@MichaelPEaves Thank you for sharing that, Michael! I picked up some zinc citrate - not Caruso's but another brand. I'll try it and see if it works, then try Caruso's if it doesn't. Thanks again and all the best!
@@rogerdavidson6236 Did it work??
@@ClassicalLiberalWarrior No, it did nothing
Love that he gets to the point. Better then those annoying ones that never tell you the problem.
As a black male at 45 prostate cancer is a high risk. I began taking Zinc few months ago, but unaware that it helps prevent prostate cancer. Thank you Doc
I take 25 mg of zinc every day.
It is also good to take selenium everyday. For the rest of your life.
I've been taking zinc supplements for quite a while. Seems to help my mood for some reason also.
Non-gmo soy, 1-3 tbsp flaxseeds daily, and cruciferous vegetables like kale, broccoli, brussel sprouts will significantly reduce risk of cancer and will shrink an enlarged prostate.

Im 33 and I will implement everything you teach us here. I will do my best to keep me healthy!
I'm new to Dr. Berg, but I can't tell you how much I'm learning from each video. I'm working to make changes in my life, and Dr. Berg is giving me the confidence to move forward and build better habits with my diet. Thank you very much.
Ditto 😀
Keep speaking in layman’s language
I delete most doctor videos.
Thank you
Thank you for your tip, Dr. Eric. I increased Zinc and I no longer have two of the symptoms I had. One was at times I could not hold back the urination and often a few drops wet the unddies on the way (of running) to the toilet. The other would do the opposite, which is not being able to urinate once I sit down. After increasing Zinc I am back to the way I was in my 20's. I mean completely back to normal... I cannot believe it! I am a fan...
How did u increase ur zinc bro
@@sameersadan20
I had an older bottle of Zinc from Whole Foods, that I bought before Amazon took Whole Foods over. I tried other brands and they made no difference. Unfortunately, the Whole Foods brand is not sold anymore, so I will have to look for a brand that does the job. And I will try to supplement zinc from foods, pumpkin seeds etc...
How many milligrams
How much zinc did you take?
@@denniskean183 , I used to have the same challenges, I stopped consuming processed foods, red meat, alcohol, soda, processed juices, sugar, reduced salt. Now I am eating full table spoon pumpkin seeds daily, ground nuts, tomato juice , vegetables like kale, spinach/ others, physical exercises and the like, at age of 67 years old, body health improved. Many thanks to Dr Berg.
I'm 83 and since my dad died from prostrate cancer in 1984 i have taken the Herb "Saw Palmetto every day,,I have had some problems with my prostrate IF i fail to take the saw palmetto for a while, so i try not to neglect taking it. I dont take ANY prescribed meds Period, But thanks for this video, I will add zinc as a suppliment.
Just bought Saw Palmetto for my dad’s PC. Doc took him off meds because dad wants to get more energy. His numbers are still low, but are slowly rising (still not in danger). I pray this works 😢
One of the best medical advisors in the world 🌎
Really thank you for mentioning that the problem is not necessarily too little zinc intake but is usually carbs or alcohol, etc. interfering with intake of zinc.
There is a lot to this statement. Having junk in one's system preventing absorbtion. Stop the junk, zinc levels increase with a clean diet.
On a tangent, there are combination of minerals/vitamins that need to be taken together. Vitamin D supplement should be taken with a meal that has some fat in it ( avocado, butter , bacon, etc ). Iron absorption is aided by vitamin C. Antiinflammatory Tumeric is absorbed better with a little black pepper.
My health has improved because of your videos! Thank you, Doc!💪
You use zinc only or other neutriant???
@@maalf1304 Although the law of attraction can be applied to what you said, part of getting healthy is also taking action and seeking or attracting foods that help your body heal or rejuvenate.

Peace my brother :)
Less of the Doc.

I was sort of skeptical about trying the zinc, but after 3 days of taking it I have to say a big thank you doc. It worked for me.

I've learned more from watching all of your videos on these various subjects than I have in decades of seeing doctors, in person. I've made many adjustments based on these videos over the last few years, and the results have been amazing. Thank you.
Yes, I agree with you, Dr Berg is one in a trillion ;)
Thank you thank you thank you really appreciate your info
50% doctors don't know anything other than what they were taught in 12 years of school. The other 50% don't take the time to inform their patients. At the end of the day, we're numbers to them and they're paid to prescribe medicine.
Number one old school law. Do not educate the general population.
1000% Now THAT is what doctoring should look like! Actually helping us understand how our bodies work, and feeding it with the nutrients it needs, as opposed to bombarding it with inorganic prescription chemicals. Thank you Dr. Berg! Great work sir!
Dear Dr. Berg. Thank you for being here and share your knowledge with us. Long life Dr Berg
Thank you Dr. Berg, following your lectures and initiating actual application improve the condition of my health. I am 83 years old. I pray for your continuous sharing.
I'm 58 and have prostate issues. Getting off (most of) the grains has had a huge impact on my prostate health...as in positive impact. Thanks for the good info. I'll be increasing my zinc intake.
Does the grains you referred to include Oatmeals ? I need to know even though i am not having any prostate problems though i am 53.
I’m 45 and already have frequent urination.
Insulin is a growth hormone. The prostate will enlarge due to excessive insulin in the blood stream, usually caused by Type II Diabetes. Reducing sugar and carbs will reduce the glucose in the blood stream, reducing the amount of insulin.
@@michaell3711 Oats are mostly carbs. Best to avoid them.
@@two_tier_gary_rumain oats have far more positive benefits than negative ones.
I am definitely going to share this with the man I care for most. Thank you, Dr. Berg, for addressing this important topic.
Functional Medicine Certified Health Coach and FNutritional Counselor, Former CVSICU RN here! Thank you for getting this info out there!
Dr. Berg is helping so many here. I been taking Zinc, C, Multi Vitamins and others for years. Gym every day. Clean eating is key. It is nice to be healthier and stronger than 95% of the public. Let's get cooking.
Low prostate zinc is often caused by a deficiency in Zip1 or Zip3 protein transporters so the cells just don't take in as much zinc even if a normal amount is in the body
Dr Berg you are a great teacher and a great eye opener
Thank you very much....coming from a family that has a prostate cancer history....it's very much appreciated!
I'm 59 and I'm beginning to take these "prostate" videos "personally". The timing couldn't have been more precise. Joking apart, grateful for the info, Dr.Berg.
Lovely video! I'm 54 and had prostate issues, but I haven't treated them with medicine or diet... I've found that meditation 2x day makes most of my physical issues disappear. Just wanted to add this to any of those that are seeking additional information. I believe it's not just about what you put inside, but also how you go about your life. In the end, we are responsible for what happens to us
Focusing on the sensations around that area does indeed diminish most, if not all the pain or tension gathered there.
YES!!!!!
For sure …
Interesting.
I have chronic prostatitis and it has been a debilitating part of my life, I also have BPH. I started doing a lot of research on ways to relieve myself of the pain and found it about 5 months ago. Yoga, deep breathing, and pelvic stretching exercises. It took a few weeks and it disappeared by about 95%. I have now incorporated full-body stretching and weight lifting with yoga and my health has improved exponentially. I am going to check into the zinc thing and see if that works for me.
I started taking Zinc and Quercetin because of my exposure to disease. I always suffered from oily skin. I happened to come across one of your other videos about zinc and realized...my skin is now good.
I just gave up Wheat and sugar. The only carbs I eat is bananas and fruit. Very little raw veg usually tomatoes and onions. I went to the docs at 43 years of age after suffering from after dribble. Doc offered me a man nappy on prescription for the rest of my life. I said no way. I realised it was because I was overweight 17 stone and my testosterone was turning into oestrogen and affecting my prostate. Now I've lost the weight I'm down to 13 stone. No more after dribble. I'm going to get some zinc. Cheers.
What was your method? Are you still going strong
@@richguev Watching fasting videos. Still going strong. Though started drinking beer again and I'm at 14 stone. But quit three days ago. Lol
How did you lose the excess weight?
@@BenMcrea61 I'm fasting again day 10
Which zinc did you get please
For us older men, this is probably one of the most important videos to watch. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been told to stop eating red meat, go on a plant based diet (which I did for awhile and felt terrible while on it) and, the most aggravating advice from my primary care physician to go on a statin drug. I said no to all of that, and along comes this video to confirm my suspicions. I really appreciate this video, Dr Berg. Thank you so very much.
Same here, for every one of your points. I got recommendations for plant diets and statins from my local doctors. I could not tolerate statins, strong side effects. I stopped with those recommendations by eating more red meat, removing statins and adding zinc. I added zinc daily because of Covid actually, unaware of the prostate connection. Plus I removed much of the sugars I was ingesting. My blood panels have improved across the board the past two years.
@@steely10 totally with you. I just started using the zinc now. I’ve given up potatoes, rice, bread, and all sweet treats. Like you, my blood sugar has dropped substantially. Can’t beat Dr Berg for real and truthful advice.
Meat is very important! Especially pork meat
@@bekabeka71 you 🐖 farmer?
@@yimyimms2847 nope I’m not
The fact that prostate enlargement is directly related to zinc deficiency proves that zinc is such a key element! I've been taking zinc for years therefore I see the benefits.
In addition which the video consists precious information for about zinc and its role especially over prostate gland health. Cheers.

My friend and my dad had prostate cancer, it was a horrible time for both and painful to journey with them through Radio Therapy in Liverpool.
I did as much research as possible ( it’s a minefield as you can imagine) so much mixed information ( snake oil salesman etc)
One thing I had heard was having low Testosterone in 30/40’s caused it, but my dad who is elderly was telling my the doctors said his testosterone was killing him. But as we now know, it’s your test converting to DHT.
I’m 40+ and got my Testosterone checked, I was really low and this explains why I didn’t feel like a man anymore.
I’m now on Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and it has changed my life. I have a very healthy diet, no alcohol, little sugar, no bread, just very simple meals with no processed food... I feel like I’m 10 years younger, I took up weight lifting too.
Get your Testosterone checked guys...
Thank you Dr Berg.
HRT/TRT is not natural and unsafe.
Dear mind it,TRT is not a easy task,it has huge side effects, it's almost permanent treatment for the rest of the life,it can cause prostate cancer

That is meat propaganda. You do not need to eat meat. I have a very happy prostate, and have been vegatarian for over 4 decades, vegan for two.
Just make sure you eat plenty of foods with zinc in them. It's good for avoiding colds as well.

Thank you Dr.Berg.After listening to your video and reading the comments therein,I took zinc last night for the first time and I woke up only two times rather than three times.Only in one day it made the difference.I cannot thank Dr.Berg.enough.God bless him in abundance .
Just today I was thinking about searching this very topic and there it is. I can't thank enough the whole team of this channel and especially Dr. Breg who's been sharing his knowledge in a simplified manner. I belong to a large family with diverse eating habits and almost everyone has a specific deficiency linked to our food choices and lifestyles. This channel is helping me alot in collecting relevant information to address the health issues of my family members. Thanks alot! Stay blessed!

Why do you have to listen to this to get the name of one nutrient? I scrolled through this pain I still don't know the name of the nutrient. This guy is self-serving. He's just selling a book and that's all.
@@johnshaw8228 Did you watch the whole video with Undivided Attention!?
A little over a month ago I watched your video on foods to eat to reduce or shrink the prostate. I had blood work done and my PSA was 4.16, so the urologist said come back in 30 days for more blood work. After that visit and watching your video, I made sure I added these foods to my diet. I had my 30 check up yesterday and my PSA was 4.15. I told the doctor I was working on shrinking my prostate with my diet.
He rolled his eyes and said, what a waste of time. He more than once said that my numbers are not that high, he wanted to schedule me for an MRI, I said, since my numbers are not that bad, give a year and let me continue working on my diet. "OH NO", was his reply. So now I have to go back in 3 months, I can tell he already annoyed with me because I will apparently be seeing a different person when I return.
I will spend the next 3 months shoving everything down my throat that shrinks a prostate, (except oysters, I can't do that).
I am always amazed at how little a doctor will work with you at trying to improve your health. If something is broken, go to the doctor to get it fixed, if you want to learn how to live a healthy lifestyle, watch RUclips!
Good Luck! Diet is the most powerful way we can make changes to our body, the Doc is probably used to most people Failing. Something that has helped me was increasing my Potassium intake as well. Dr Berg has a great video on that, with the best foods to eat (not Bananas, dark leafy greens etc). Perhaps it might help you as well, Good Luck!
The doctor wanted to sell you his medicine/drugs and was disappointed that you wouldn't be copping from his corner. Drug dealers only care for their customers and their pushers.
Lots of Doctors think they are gods in their area. I used to tell Doctors about natural cures I tried . I don’t even mention it to them at all now.
I am sure he will be offering lots of very expensive tablets....indefinitely.
@@mrfoodarama I have been cooking my own food for the past 20 years, I eat very healthy food. However, I was consuming too many carbs from fruits, like apples, raisins, etc. So after watching his video, I have cut down on them and lost 10 pounds in the last month. I do eat leafy greens, but I still have to continue with some of fruits because I have lived a very constipated life, the fruits seem to help me more in that area than the leafy greens. I do eat a half a banana a day.
Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
Hi there
I've had some medical issues with my prostate recently. I've had a test and fortunately it's not cancer. I've been talking zn for other purposes and it improved my prostate health. It's no longer painful and I feel at ease on my bike. I can retain urine. It flows easily. There's no dripping. I no longer wake up at night. And I'm 71 years old. Thanks Dr.
I'm in my mid 50's and read about the importance of zinc for prostate, during the 90's, from one of Taoist practitioner Daniel Reid's books. I highly recommend his work. He also gave an interesting statistic regarding consumption of lamb (the other red meat) and lower instances of prostate issues in the Mediterranean region where it is highly consumed. Turns out that Lamb... is high in zinc. But a much better alternative to beef. Bingo.
Great information! As always.. Unfortunately I had radical prostatectomy in August and still need radiation for the margins. My point is listen to this. No guarantee as dr berg has said but my psa was 63, I think if I had followed these guidelines, I really believe it could have made a dramatic difference! Thanks dr berg for the research
Surely 🙏🏼
Dr. Berg, you provide a quality service, powered by independent thinking and independent research, devoid of financial ties to the pharmaceutical-industrial complex. Your assertions are backed my your research and reasoning. Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr. I was used to eating red meat once a month and barely are eggs. My diet will have changed this coming week. Your explanation is amazingly clear.
AT LEAST 14 LBS of RED MEAT PER WEEK, and 35 EGGS PER WEEK
Too little meat and eggs. I eat 4 eggs per day and half the week 300 grams of beef per day.
So many good nutrients with relatively few calories
Thankyou Dr Berg ! My father and grandfather and uncles all had prostate problems ! Im 61 and no trouble so far! but this info is great! 😊🇨🇦🇺🇸

How much should take?
@@anikaibnat9636 hi Anika, if you are sister this is not for you but if its for yours husband or brother then i take 15mg daily, but also back it up with foods that contain zinc. Hope this helps.
Which zinc to use?
Do you still have prostatitis, still have the symptom of urination like get up at night and frequent micturition, how do you treat, can you say your treatment method and experience specifically.
Interesting video. Although Dr Berg indicates what can reduce the bodies ability to absorb zinc he misses out the main element - how do you detect what levels of zinc you have in your body?. Are zinc levels in blood / plasma indicative of levels of zinc in the prostate? This knowledge is essential since too much zinc can also cause issues with zinc / copper imbalance.
Definitely need a part 2 to this video to give much more valuable information.
Zinc copper ballance i think the ratio is 100/1
He did include a link to learn more about zinc. Worth checking it out.
The first reference given is about zinc in the blood stream compared to prostate states. Yes, low blood zinc is associated with prostate cancer. However, high blood zinc levels are associated with an enlarged prostate.
Dr. Berg’s conclusion that we should take more zinc simply doesn’t follow from the provided information.
@@stisca very interesting, I believe its easy to over do the zinc ballance supplement, maybe just "one a week" would keep you the correct zone, Thanks Stan.

A month after I started Keto, a dear friend passed from prostate cancer. He was a marathon runner, ate mostly vegetarian but did eat meat and eggs occasionally, and did eat some sweets, but not all the time.
I was having flow and starting issues. On keto, they were gone within a couple months, or less. A few months after beginning keto, I had hemheroid surgury, and while the doc was there, checked my prostate. He sounded suprised that someone my age had a "NORMAL" prostate.
I know my testosterone is much higher than pre-keto too. I was supplementing to increase T. I went off of supplements because I want to get tested, find out what my base T is.

You are amazing, i treat my dad’s prostate cancer you really help me.
I’ve been taking zinc and cealis 5 mg daily for over a year. No real changes. Just once in a while I feel better like shrunken and other days it’s enlarged. I found an external prostate massager that help’s reducing the size of prostate. I’ve been taking saw palmetto, pumpkin seeds, pygem, beta sisterol and a few others. I don’t ejaculate much, had a problem with erection but I’m on my 9th week of using “the phoenix” which has helped a lot! I’m not done with the program yet but it has helped a lot! I’ve heard prp or P shot helps too!
After taking the whole regime of supplements such as Saw palmetto, pumpkin seeds, pygeum bark and beta sitasterol. Do see any difference in you sexual life such longer and stronger erection, no premature ejaculation and sensitivity in penile veins and no inflammation in body if yes please do post you experience too so that you know it would help all the people.
Try stingy needle root and flax seed. While cutting out carbs
@@abuji9429 yes, it helps me!
Great Video!
Something that has really helped me- almost immediately is prostate massage. Sure, maybe a little embarrassing. And important to do this right and get professional Guidance. People have hurt the lining of their bowels or yes, had improper things stuck up there. Do your own due diligence beforehand too.
How do you massage the prostate? From inside the rectum? With a vibrator? NO IDEA how to do this!
Thank you doctor berg. You have really helped me. I have been taking zinc bisglycinate and copper bisglycinate for about 3 weeks now. I may get up one time at the most a night to urinate. Your advice really helped.
Do you still have prostatitis, still have the symptom of urination like get up at night and frequent micturition, how do you treat, can you say your treatment method and experience specifically.
@@赢政-p1s only once a night most of the time. Sometimes I will sleep all night without having to get upto urinate.
DR Berg is a Such great gift for humanity ...we are improving our lives day by day...thank u so much for helping us...its very hard to find the right thing in this modern and another words fake world...
Fully agree with @EastWest Life Insider… Thanks Dr Berg
Great doctor!!! 🙏
100% 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
So what is the take away message from this video??
Seriously? Has this "doctor" actually looked at medical studies? First, studies found that vegans have the highest testosterone levels. Second, legumes have HIGH levels of zinc, but without the health penalty of meat. Red meat in particular increase your risk of cancer, heart disease... essentially all kinds of nasty illnesses. Problem is substance inherent to meat, such as animal protein, and it's not just low quality meat having problems!
Dr. Berg, could you do a video on how zinc works in the female body?
Also, maybe a video on vegan options for zinc and a look at reducing phytates by soaking lentils and beans before cooking or other preparations to reduce physic acid?
Thank you!!! 💙 this was very interesting!
He made a few videos for vegans and on soaking seeds and nuts.
He made a few videos on zinc in relation to the female body. If you search his name and zinc, you will see them.
Thank you very much for providing this useful knowledge. It will help many people realize the importance of the prostate.
Glad to help!
Such a clear and succinct presentation. Thank you Dr Berg.
God bless you Dr. Eric Berg for the useful information.
Thank you for having this site! There is a lot of ignorant information on prostate cancer. Your information I definitely good!
Thank you Dr Berg for caring enough to share your honest research with the common people. Thank you Sir.
Glad to help. Thanks for your comment!
Thanks doctor 😘 I love your videos they are straight to the point and easy to understand.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
i am 37 male i have type 2 diabetes and enlarged prostate i've done 2 surgical procedures each time after 3-6 monthes of the procedure the problem comes back no doctor unfortunately told me about zinc or what to do to help they just told me its a chronical problem and i will have to do more procedures in the future, after watching your video i started taking zinc 25mg every day along side managing better blood sugar, fasting ...etc now i am in best shape of in 15 years i didnt feel this good urination is very good and ejaculation not painful and amount of semen as it was of my early 20's ....thank you Dr. Berg
Nice sir . But fasting too will reduce it to a considerable level along with nutrients . Love from kashmir
All the males in my family, as far back as we can trace, had enlarged prostrate, and death from prostrate cancer. I am 69, cancer free and an occasional bout with BPH. When I stay strictly on my normal foods for the past 15 years, that being lots of green veggies, other veggies, lean red meats, eggs, clams, mussels, shrimp and chicken, no alcohol, no processed sugars, no super spicy foods, and no caffeine, and very little dairy, BPH goes away. (Also very few grains and no breads) I am convinced that what a man eats, especially men with the genetic blue print for prostrate cancer, determines the health of the prostrate. I have a mild dairy allergy. These are the items that will cause me to have a bout of BPH, in order starting with the worse: Alcohol, dairy, sugars as in candy, super spicy food and caffeine. I have tested these items in my system for years now and basically leave them alone. Interestingly, I also use an app to track my vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, etc. and my daily zinc intake is more than the RDA. btw, I take no meds. One final item, since the prostrate is somewhat basically a muscle, I added a lot of core exercise to my workout routine. Good luck and best wishes.
Wow, exactly what I go through and im only 30. Thank you for this, ..... My system is 99% like yours. I will keep off, dairy sugar and red meats forever as I can, as Ive done for the last 2 years
Great message filled with gold, it is what we eat. Thank you.
@@MrAdjin I don’t think red meats are the issue, it is processed red meats. But yea not too much either way.
Thank you very much Dr Berg, you explain problems and solutions that anyone can understand and without a criticizing manner .Merry Christmas .
Hey Dr. Berg, this is a trip! I take zinc supplements (perhaps not enough) as well as colloidal minerals, I eat organic beef (only 1/2 lb. per week) I eat tons of fat (mostly olive oil and nuts) I eat very little grains and am not on any medication. My prostate, though, is enlarged and does effect urination, etc. and is a cause of some concern. I appreciate the discussion this video has spawn - perhaps my stomach acid level is very low, and maybe I need to start taking Saw Palmetto. Thanks for putting these videos out!
nuts stops the absorption of minerals which zinc being one of them...look up anti-nutrients
im in almost the exact same boat...couple of things
i went on full keto for a month, no more than 50 grams of net carbs per day, after a month my urine flow; while not perfect, was Muuuuch improved...you have to cut down all carbs, not just grains, i only say this because you mentioned 'grains' but no other carbs ....also i've read that foods like grains, nuts, dairy and spinach inhibit zinc absorption , which sucks because i snack on walnuts and cooked spinach is a Huuuuge potassium source ...i also noticed that when i have even a small amount of lower sugar ice cream from Publix, it seems to affect (hurt) my urine flow pretty fast, so there is something to be said for carbs and dairy messing with the prostate / zinc
gonna try straight liquid zinc, and take it as far away as i can from anything that can slow or stop the absorption
hope this info helps
@@swordsman3000 Thank you! I never heard that zinc absorption is inhibited by nuts, I'll look into these issues :)
With Zincs role (as well as vit D etc) in covid prevention, it seems good to stay on top of your zinc. I've heard that you want to make sure you don't overdue zinc but aside from that I think its role in health has been vastly overlooked by so many for too long.
What kind of zinc should we take? How much? Tks.
You mean influenza prevetion.
@@bl6369 i read byciglinate is the best also organic zinc and on websites most of them talks about15mg per day or more if needed
One can overdue Zinc if its not chelated. Zinc depletes Copper in the body so one has to take Copper if the Zinc is not chelated.

I've been taking zinc and eating pumpkin seeds dating back to my 20's in the 90's. The information has been around for some time, and I'm glad I found it early.
A friend of my takes now for 2 years every day 85 mg zink Picolinate and eats a lot of grass vet beef and last December he good not urinate. His prostate number was 8 and after 3 months of taking wilgenroosje his number was dropped to 3 and he can urinate perfectly!!! Match love to you Dr. Eric Berg I learned a lot from you thank you!!! Greetings from the Netherlands
Dr. Berg, I will definitely be giving my love this information.
What is wilgenroosje? I am in the USA and it would not come up on google in English. Thank You!
Wilgenroosje is a Dutch name, I don't know the English name for that. It is a plant.
@Ahmed N Thank you! I found the tea version on Amazon and ordered it.
@@jolandameivogel469 commercially avail as White Willow bark in tea or extract form
Dr. Eric Berg, I agree that zinc plays vital role in prostate health. What if it gets enlarged due to stopping of urine for long hours in young men ?? Because it is also a factor of prostate enlargement. Does zinc plays the same role here ? Thank you. 😊
Thank you so much Dr I am a patient of benign prostate hyperplasia this information is very useful for me I start using more zinc in my diet thank you so much
Hi Dr. Berg, I am fan of your videos. Thank you for the amazing service to wider communities. I am 50 years old male with mild diabetes. I also have an enlarged prostate. I am currently taking Tamsulosin HCI 0.4mg and Dutasteride 0.5mg to tackle my enlarged prostate. Is it ok for me to take zinc supliment also, will there be any drag interactions? Please advise. Many thanks in advance. ☺️.
FYI, I was taking tamsolosin and dutesteride for enlarged prostate proscribed by a physician who only took my word that I was getting up at night to urinate. No PSA test, no digital exam. I took these pills for a year and had no improvement at all. I have since stopped and also decreased my coffee consumption and guess what. My getting up at night has decline to about half. My guess is if I quit coffee entirely, getting up at night would stop. I’m 78 years old and I love coffee so I’ll just call my bathroom trips exercise and go on.
I stopped eating red meat many years ago and recently I developed prostatitis. I started to use zinc and saw palmetto and noticed a big improvement. I am trying to cut down on sugar snacks. I noticed my body was craving raw spinach and nuts for some reason and after checking these are good sources of zinc if you do not eat red meat.
Interesting. I like that you actively research and look at the data and that you’re genuinely interested in this field.
Love you Dr. Berg! ❤️ Keep up the great work and awesome videos
Dr. Berg
Awesome to find someone who's willing to talk facts about supplements, my late mom was an RN, since she passed in '13 I feel I've been on my own, however I am proactive.
I'm in great health, & consistently have great labs, albeit, only blood work.
I have been talking zinc since before my prostate started enlarging, and doubled up when COVID hit. The only thing on your list that I take is a Staten. Should I be taking even more zinc? Or is there something I could take to help my body absorb more?
I am a 56 yr old male and my prostate grew and my urine become almost impossible to eliminate from the body. Thank you for this information I will begin to take ZINC!
Hi، Did you feel any improvement?
Yes tell us how are u now?
This is important. Need more videos on mens health. Fellas, if you have any pain, go get checked. God bless!
