BPH, prostate cancer and Keto diet

Posted , 6 users are following.

Are you on a keto diet? If yes, did you find any significant improvements in your BPH symptoms? Theoretically, low carbohydrate consumption reduces inflammation and BPH is somewhat a result of prostate inflammation. Also theoretically, low carbohydrate consumption starves the cancer cells. Therefore one should expect some improvements.

Please share. Thanks. Hank

      Motto, google it. There's information out there on a few studies. My cyber friend said when his doc did DRE he could bare feel his prostate. I don't know the man personally but he has no reason to lie. It was just something he mentioned in passing

      Someone on the internet mentioned that his PSA when down from 5 to 4 or something like that, after he went on Keto. Hank

      I assume Keto takes time for the inflammation to go away. I take Tumeric (actually curcumin) for inflammation. I think it helps
