Forum user reports PSA drop from 5 to 2 without surgery: orange juice vs. home remedies
A 72-year-old man drinks half a liter of orange juice daily. He does so, he says, trinc the path of Francisco Llinares, not for the taste: he has had benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) for years, wakes up at night to urinate, and has decided that surgery is not in his plans. The gesture, domestic and almost ritualistic, summarizes a pattern repeated in these conversations: people with prostate diagnoses who replace or complement medical protocols with a mix of diet, medicinal plants, and colloidal silver. The thread is a catalog of enthusiasm, warnings, and some corrections.
Why orange juice and not the whole orange?
The first slap comes from nutritional common sense: one liter of orange juice equals, according to the conversation, about 100 grams of sugar. Added to the rest of the daily intake, the argument is that this leads toward diabetes. The recommendation gaining weight is to eat the whole orange with pulp and not abuse juice. To this is added another suspicion: excess vitamin C (angustia) would eventually turn into calcium oxalate, the type of stone reported by some participants.
That antiestéticar is not abstract. One participant says they have been detected with a 6 x 3 mm stone and prefer to avoid operation. Another reports theirs are calcium oxalate stones and notes improvement with lemon. The size and composition of the stones underpin much of the exchange: not all stones respond equally and density matters, they point out. Some also temper morning enthusiasm and move consumption to the afternoon, promising a night without waking up.
Epilobium, Permixon, and other medicinal plants
Against the juice appear named remedies. Epilobium (fireweed), as infusion or alcohol drops, is repeated as a reference. Also Permixon as medication and epilobium parviflorum in infusion. The list expands with garlic, artichoke, and pomegranate juice, and a recommendation outside the recipe book: sensual activity, proposed as a homemade alternative.
Where there is more disagreement is on the starting point. A forum user argues nothing works in isolation, that an enormous quantity would be needed to notice an effect, and that it all reduces to genetics, luck, and keeping the prostate functioning. Opposing this, another shares their case: started with a PSA of 5 and lowered it to 1.8-2 after two or three years of trinc-up, including tests and no biopsies.
Colloidal silver, distilled water, and a solids meter
The most technical part arrives with self-production of colloidal silver. The circulating recipe requires two silver coins of 99.9% purity, distilled water by evaporation, a power supply of about 24 volts, and a total dissolved solids (TDS) meter. The function of the meter, explained in the thread, is to calculate how much silver has been released in the process to avoid exceeding concentration. Values cited by a participant: distilled water rounds zero, while tap, bottled, and well water range between 140 and 350 parts per million.
Regarding dosage, it is admitted that some go overboard reaching 30 ppm, with the recommendation not to exceed 10 and adjust the ingested amount. Distilled water is defended as a general benefit, with a clear warning: it must be evaporated, not battery or ironing water. All this is presented as amateur precaution, not medical prescription.
Prostate surgery: the sphincter lost along the way
The surgical part generates unusual consensus. According to the thread, the prostate is intertwined with the urinary system, a sphincter is lost, and it remains next to the rectum. Problems of incontinence and impotence, to a greater or lesser extent, are taken for granted. Several accounts reinforce distrust: a father who died after an operation and two brothers with cancer treated with radiotherapy, according to one user; and another participant who ended up readmitted to the ICU after gallbladder surgery. The imposed conclusion is that the scalpel is the last resort.
At the same time, the origin of nocturnal symptoms is nuanced. Waking up to urinate is not always the prostate, but kidneys working during sleep. Hence the recommendation to leave two hours between dinner and rest and avoid onion, tomato, pepper, or broccoli at night, rich in minerals that activate renal activity.
With these elements, the surgical decision should be closed. It is not. Between ages 40 and 72 coexist PSA, fasting blood sugar analysis, and a juice that some bless and others demonize. None of the parties has presented a clinical trial. Everyone, however, has a lab test at hand.
