Fasting in the fight against prostatitis

In alternative medicine, there is such a method in the treatment of prostatitis by fasting. This technique has a positive effect not only with weight loss, but also increases resistance to hypoxia, intoxication, physical exertion, and chronic diseases.

Unloading and dietary therapy is relevant for prostate adenoma, chronic type of disease, or their combination. Fasting treatment for prostatitis is carried out according to a special scheme on a stationary basis. Unloading and dietary manipulations are training stress. During the fasting days, the body receives stress, which increases the body's adaptation to its capabilities.

The main fact of adaptation is lipid and antioxidant peroxidation in the system. In any pathological process, free radicals are activated in the oxidative process, in which antioxidants are neutralized. An imbalance or overload of AOS provokes incomplete deactivation of free radicals, while they continue to injure the cellular tissue, from which the disease progresses.

How fasting works for prostatitis

With insufficient food intake in the human body, the brain feels a lack of glucose. To provide nutrition to brain tissue, glucose is produced from protein, fats and carbohydrates that make up the structure of cells and organs.

• The first stage is the destruction of carbohydrates (liver glycogen).
• Further, fatty acids (free) enter the bloodstream from the cellular structure of fats. Under the influence of oxidation, acetone and ketone bodies are obtained - nutrition of the nervous tissue, which replaces glucose.
• Proteins are destroyed last, during which ammonia is formed.

Endogenous nutrition is the main means of human existence. Acetone with ketone bodies under the influence of the oxidative process leads to a crisis (acidic), which is characterized by a peak of deteriorated health in patients. After a week and a half, an acidotic crisis occurs. This phenomenon leads to the destruction of proteins with alkalization of the internal environment of the body with ammonia, which contributes to the recovery of the body with the restoration of functionality.

This process leads to the mobilization of reserve capabilities with the restoration of the functioning of the prostate gland.

Do we connect hunger with prostate pathology

Adenoma of the prostate there is an intensive proliferation of cells with the intensity of the growth of the prostate. In this case, testosterone is converted to dihydrotestosterone by alpha-reductase and estrogens, which are converted from testosterone. Estrogen is produced in adipose tissue. Since hormones and enzymes have a protein structure, during fasting there is an intensive use of protein, which acts with a destructive effect.

At the same time, circulatory disorders occur in the neoplasm, provoking an inflammatory process. During inflammation, acute phase proteins are involved. Cytokines with mediators (protein structure) are destroyed under the influence of fasting.

The stress caused by the inflammation accompanies the release of glucocorticoids (hormones that inhibit the response of leukocytes). Due to the failure of the immune system, the additional ability of the body increases under the influence of starvation (restoration of the prostate gland, reducing the possibility of relapses). Fasting treatment for BPH has a positive effect on sperm quality, which is impaired during prostatitis.

Thanks to therapeutic fasting in the prostate gland, tumor growth slows down, the production of dihydrotestosterone with the alpha-reductase enzyme decreases, and inflammation is suppressed.

Therapeutic fasting for complicated adenoma, chronic, renal failure, enlargement of the pelvis with ureters in the kidneys, should be controlled by specialists. The fasting process leads to the quantitative formation of ketone bodies, while the load on the kidneys increases.

What stages of fasting are recommended for prostatitis

Fasting should be done in stages:

• unloading stage - leading to hunger;
• the hunger strike itself;
• acid crisis (acidotic);
• recovery period.

The transition to a hunger strike should come with cleansing the intestines. A man takes a laxative (saline), after which there is a refusal to eat. With the unloading treatment of prostatitis and adenoma in the morning, a cleansing enema should be performed with a weak solution of manganese. After that, the patient must take a bath (a quarter of an hour), the temperature of the water in the bathroom is 37 degrees. After the procedure, the back and cervical spine are massaged. After the patient should drink a decoction of rose hips. A man should drink at least 2 liters of water every day. The more fluids are taken, the better the hunger cure will be effective.

After taking liquid, the patient should lie down for 30 minutes in complete calmness. Then the man is advised to walk outside with breathing exercises. After the walk, it is recommended to sleep for an hour and a half, then walk again until 10 pm in summer, until 6 pm in winter.

Before going to bed, drink water and rinse the throat with a weak solution of potassium permanganate or soda. After 3-5 days of hunger, it is allowed to completely stop taking medicinal formulations. In the presence of concomitant severe pathologies in the patient's body from other organs, the drug intake does not stop. For example, heart medications or pain relievers. During the recovery of the diet, the main products should be thick cereals, vegetarian soups with natural juices. Drink plenty of alkaline liquids. Meals should be fractional and frequent. The duration of the recovery phase is equal to the duration of the hunger strike.

When carrying out hunger strikes in order to treat prostatitis and prostate adenoma, in the first 3-5 days, one kilogram of weight is lost daily, after a crisis (acidic), the patient loses 400-500 g daily.

Patient's feelings during a hunger strike

For the first few days, patients feel:

• weakening the body;
• excessive fatigue;
• gurgling in the stomach;
• excessive salivation.

Due to the strong feeling of hunger, patients become irritable. On the fifth day, the appetite ceases to prevail and there is no desire at all. Added to the above symptoms is a feeling of dryness, nausea, constant thirst.

This is due to the accumulation of acetone in the plasma with ketone bodies, acidifying the internal flora of the body. During this period, an abundant alkaline drink is recommended. From the mouth you can hear the smell of acetone with a gray coating on the tongue. After a week and a half, the patients' general condition sharply improves, which is characterized by the mobilization of the body's reserves with the neutralization of acidosis. The appetite returns, the unpleasant odor disappears, the pain stops, and the quality of sperm improves. This period is manifested at the end of the therapeutic manipulations of fasting.

Who can and who cannot treat prostatitis by fasting

In order to treat fasting prostatitis, it is recommended to undergo a complete examination:

• taking a biopsy of the prostate to find out the presence of cancer cells;
• transrectal ultrasound of the prostate;
• ultrasound examination of the kidneys and urine drainage tract;
• dog level analysis;
• general examination of plasma and urine;
• ECG;
• x-ray;
• other studies (cardiac muscle, lipid spectrum, EGD).

When a hunger strike is required

Medical fasting is an alternative therapy to treatment methods for adenoma and prostatitis.

The technique can be recommended by a specialist when:

• the patient's wishes;
• during non-effectiveness of medication therapy;
• obese;
• ineffective minimally invasive surgical intervention;
• before performing abdominal surgery.

Of the contraindications for fasting, obesity before adenomectomy can be noted, this is due to the frequent death of patients.

The course of medical fasting can be from 10 days to a month. It depends on the stage of enlargement of the male organ, neglect of the prostate adenoma and the chronic course of prostatitis, comorbidities.

The first stage of adenoma is treated with a hunger strike for 20 to 30 days, of course, if there are no other additional pathologies of the body.

The second and third stages are treated from two weeks to 20 days.

If the patient has pathologies in the cardiovascular system, bronchi, lungs, prostatitis and adenoma are treated by fasting for up to 14 days.

For chronic prostatitis, a dietary deload is recommended for 3-4 weeks.

Fasting fasting is prohibited in case of chronic renal failure, malignant neoplasms, liver cirrhosis, hypotension, diabetes, thyrotoxicosis, vascular atherosclerosis, in old age, with a lack of body weight.
