I have a marked improvement and have a better quality of life

That "wet" feeling

"I have been on prostaguard approx 2 yrs along with other vitamins. Originally I did not have a lot of control with urinating and dribbling urine while asleep. Since taking prostaguard  for that amount of time I have a marked improvement and have a better quality of life in regards to travel sleeping, day to day  etc."

This encouraging report highlights a number of key points to keep in mind when using so-called "natural therapies" to improve health:

Use good science 

Such as the hair tissue mineral analysis and blood tests to eliminate as much of the guessing as possible as to what to do.

There are seldom single solutions to health issues

As in this case, multiple lifestyle and dietary measures where used and these were regularly adjusted.

Do not panic

These interventions can take a long, long time to kick in. In this drugs dominated world, we have been brain-washed into the expectation of overnight success. This just does not happen. Most diseases of modern living and ageing develop over decades and reversing these processes of decline are seldom overnight.  Think in terms of months, if not years.

Remain forever vigilant

The natural progression of your health is towards decline, leading to eventual death.  So, for example; prostate dysfunction such as described by "C", will tend to get worse.  "C" has had a remarkable reversal of this trend.  While he now be feeling comfortable and satisfied with where he is at, he must keep his foot on the throat and never let it off.  It will surely come back with a vengeance.  This vigilance may consist of some simple dietary measures, a few dietary supplements and annual monitoring by blood and hair tissue mineral analysis tests.


Getting up just once a night is a way lot better than four times a night and not having the embarrassment of a smelly wet patch is priceless!

Use of the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis for detection of infection in the body

Cu (copper) and Fe (iron) are more or less in balance.

My quest for good health has been guided by hair tissue mineral analyses (HTMA) which have been repeated at about once yearly intervals over the last five years.  Each time the HTMA is repeated their cumulative value increases.  Take the detection of infection for example.

The body has many ingenious methods for combating infection.  In the case of parasitic and bacterial infection, one defense mechanism is to deprive the invader of life-giving iron (Fe).  Without Fe, these creatures can not thrive and multiply with their usual vigour.  Consequently weakened by this deprivation, the body is better able to win the battle, or at least, contain it.

Fe has risen significantly relative to Cu, indicating a
possible chronic infection in the body.

The body does this by sequestering as much circulating Fe as it can inside the cells, rendering it unavailable to invading organisms.  This increased sequestering of iron in the cells may be experienced as chronic fatigue (Often referred to as "infectious anaemia").  Giving a person with infectious anaemia an iron supplement is the wrong thing to do unless the source of the infection is first eliminated (Then the need for an iron supplement is also eliminated!).  When iron is deposited into the joint tissues, this may be experienced as joint pain, including rheumatoid arthritis.  This explains why this kind of arthritis often follows an infection.

Fe is again in balance with Cu several months following
treatment for a dental abscess.

This is seen on the HTMA as high Fe relative to copper (Cu).  Normal Cu levels must be restored in order for the body to use this stored iron.

If you look at my HTMA of August 2009 and compare with the next just a few months later, there is significant increase in cellular Fe relative to Cu.  Having eliminated the possibility of a parasitic infection, my attention turned to the next highest possibility: dental abscess.  I consulted my brother, a dentist, and sure enough - he found the tell-tale signs of an abscess deep alongside a molar.  Digging deep, a stinky reservoir of puss was released!

A few months later, I produced a career best in a mountain bike race over 40km.  I put this down, in part, to the release of oxygen delivering Fe back into the circulation, giving me a welcomed energy boost.  Refer to the third HTMA above which indicates that there is no longer an ongoing infection in my body.  I feel damn good!

I am on iron pills and taking vit C with zinc

"I am on iron pills and taking vit C with zinc. Have you had experience with this and is there anything else you can suggest either in the way of food or supplements that will help?

I do eat meat, but I am thinking more along the lines of something that will help my body retain the right iron level long term?"
