PEMF devices CAUSE inflammation. Why? Magnetic pulsing causes IL2 activation - inflammation, with the idea being that the body's T-Cells gravitate to the inflamed spot to 'attack' the inflammation. This 'could' work over time, but the drawbacks of this may lead symptoms becoming much worse, even acute urinary retention before they may potentially get better. I don't think it's wise to attempt PEMF stimulation unless you fully know how to CIC and have the supplies on hand. Dr. Song, who has a clinic in China is probably the only Uro I know of in the world who has the curative approach in my opinion. His thesis is solid, which is that BPH and 'non infectious' prostatitis are actually burrowed undetected infections and various calculi that go with them (possibly in the acni sacks). Most westernized Uro's would not think to milk prostatic fluid to test it for various infections. So, if the underlying causes of prostate issues are not addressed, even with a successful western procedure, in time the prostate will grow back if the burrowed infection/root cause is not dealt with. If there is anyone out there who has tried, or is trying a PEMF device to treat prostate issues, please report if you notice inflammation the next day after applying PEMF, thanks!
Furthermore, these ‘infections’ could both be fungal and parasitic in nature. I refuse to believe that a cure for BPH and prostatitis cannot be found. My partner and I work in biotech where he is currently working with CB1 (cannabis 1) receptors.
Important side note: overuse of antibiotics tear down the good gut flora which in turn can lead to a further inflammation response - where cancers start, notwithstanding horrible consequences such as C-Diff for example.
Thinking about it, why are western world men experiencing BOO at much earlier ages now than in the past? Is it the hormones/pesticides in our food, Omega 6 to Omega 3 imbalances?Did nature/God intend for middle-aged men to rely on CIC for relief? The overexpression DHT conversion angle at best is a weak hypothesis and is still likely symptomatic of a deeper rooted cause. So, give a man Avodart and turn his hormones to the feminine? For what, a 30% a best reduction in prostate volume, a ‘limp noodle’. and man boobs which may or may not relieve symptoms?
Whats BOO?
Indeed…I need a dictionary of prostate to understand the post. To the write: please don’t assume we all know what PEMF, ILF receptors and BOO are about.
wow wow very interesting. Question what about prostate massage? Could that be effective and helpful? I have thought about getting a pemf device.
what is DHT?
one one explanation that’s offered and I’m not sure I buy is that we h umans sit far more than we ever were designed or intended to.
i think BOO , may mean bladder outlet obstruction
Correct, BOO - Bladder Outlet Obstruction.
IL-2 = interleukin 2
PEMF = Pulsed Electromagnetic Field
BOO = Bladder Outlet Obstruction. Not every case of BOO is prostate related.
IL-2 Wikipedia reference - Interleukin 2 - Wikipedia
Absolutely, yes, we have to figure out the root cause of prostate enlargement and all of these urine flow issues. We are currently just treating the symptoms and not really curing the problem (s). And, to make things even more complicated, there isn’t just one solution - there are so many different solutions that researching all the options is very time consuming and emotionally draining. If you have a tooth ache you go to the dentist and the solution is usually straight forward.
I have been dealing with prostate issues for the past eight years: infections, enlargement, biopsies, prostate cancer and radiation (so far cured), loss of sex life, incontinence issues, sleep deprivation, etc. I don’t even go out to a movie with my wife anymore because I know I will have to go to the bathroom before the movie, and possibly twice during the movie. Same with getting on an airplane.
Anyway, while BPH isn’t potentially fatal like cancer, it can ruin one’s quality of life in many ways.
Exactly, I abandon many of the posts in this forum because of all the acronyms thrown around.
Sounds like a spooky condition. Sorry, I couldn’t help myself
I abandon them when they get so many post you can find the latest reply because new posts are intermingled with old post.
i tried PEMF device at a friend. I have symptoms of prostate irritation and urgency. I wanted to try for help with sleep. The person told me to apply applicator just above pubic area. After treatment I felt tingling and mild irritation in the prostate but the next day the irritation was much better and the urgency also was significantly less but I am not sure about the flow , maybe it was just a little better. This lasted about 4 days. So now I am looking into PEMF device. Could that have been a coincidence ? It was not placebo effect as the symptoms were definitely better.
how how long did you keep it applied? How long was your treatment with it?
Potentially it can help if the prostatic fluid is infected in some way. Western testing for infection almost will always miss this. DHT = Dihydrotestosterone. Word of caution on PEFM devices; As I mentioned before, at first they can at first cause additional inflammation, so if you can barely pee now, the symptoms could get worse before T-Cells are activated to fight a potential burrowed infection. T-CELL = “a lymphocyte of a type produced or processed by the thymus gland and actively participating in the immune response.”
I read thru a ton of NCI literature, hypothesis, different approaches to prostate issues. Obviously, I have them myself, but a lot of my issues were brought on by ignorance of prostate health. My website partner, who is an inventor is working on stuff to potentially help various conditions.
Lastly, not every urinary issue is prostate related. As we can see in this forum, many men have had multiple failed procedures for their prostates, which makes me wonder if the Uro’s did complete urodynamic and vid-urodynamics first on these men, to detect potential primary bladder neck obstruction (PBNO).
Potentially. there is probably some truth to us sitting more. My research tells me it’s more likely related to hormonally treated foods we eat, then cells in prostate are mis-signaled from a burrowed infection from these hormones. If these issues were only hormonal, then finisteride and Avodart would solve the problem. These only do in part. Again, this is treating symptoms rather than the root cause - biggest problem with western medicine today, and we have the tech to to get to the root causes, but apparently are lacking the will (or is it greed?) to find them.
In my case, it’s caused some massive anxiety and depression. I hope in your case you get relief and have a good support/family system around you. I’m 51, no kids, no wife ever, so I’m a loner in this.
I’m sorry to hear that Lvscott , support is important and is easy to take for granted when you have it . I have also suffered anxiety and depression over my continuous symptoms but am fortunate to have plenty of support .
My good wishes to you

15 minutes. and I don’t even know the settings as it was done recently. I would not draw any conclusions yet and I want to research it more.
