Has anyone done this?

For enlarged prostate. Has anyone done this. Or can I get some input? I have ok'd this with my doc first.

Saw Palmetto.....160 mg...twice a day. Total 320 mg.

Cranberry Extract caps.....300 mg...once a day. Total 300 mg.

I am replacing Tamsulosin and Finasteride with the above. Thanks.

Be careful taking Saw Palmetto. Yes, it will diminish the size of your prostate but it will give you false readings on a PSA test. For those of you who do not know, a PSA test detects prostate cancer. A PSA test saved my husband's life. The cancer was found even before he had any symptoms. Today, he is cancer-free.

I was taking large amounts of cranberry tablets [for years] and I never suspected it was making my BPH much worse.

My understanding now is that cranberry is good for UTI only, not BPH [for me anyway..].

I discontinued it last July and the results have been really encouraging. [I'm not on any other BPH drugs, they never helped anyway]

That, and too much salt, spices and [for some crazy reason] peppermint lozenges [and chewing gum] have been making it much worse for me.
