I have been taking Cialis 5mg daily for both ED and BPH since Dec. 2012. The results have been a?

Speaking of reading, I might suggest picking up a used copy of the "Prostate Book," by Peter Scardino, MD, or "The Whole Life Prostate Book," by Carter Ballentine, MD. Both are excellent, and they're available on Amazon. The takeaway, especially from Dr. Ballentine's book is simply this: Don't underestimate the power in taking care of oneself. We're older, gentlemen. Few of us are running marathons these days. That doesn't mean we throw in the towel. Be honest. Are you exercising at all? As for dietary advice, Michael Pollan says it best in seven succinct words: "Eat FOOD. Not too much. Mostly plants." Are you sleeping adequately? As for supplements, saw palmetto is all the rage. Didn't work for me. That's not to say that it won't work for you, despite the fact that science has deemed saw palmetto "no more effective than placebo." What DOES work for me, and what IS supported by the literature is pygeum, taken in combination with beta sitosterol (forget the one that's heavily advertised on TV). Finally, take heart. There are VERY promising therapies on the horizon. Botox, reducing angiogenesis to the prostate, and new drugs in the pipeline. Finally - and don't take offense - lose weight. It truly helps. Health care - is self care. Not a health care professional. Start exercising, Tex. Doesn't have to be strenuous, but it should be aerobic, and it should be consistent. Hope this helps.
