| Saw Palmetto — ProstAvan® by Melaleuca |
| If you have prostate problems, share this Journal of the American Medical Association article with your doctor. In the article, Saw Palmetto Extracts for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia, is a JAMA review of existing evidence regarding the therapeutic efficacy and safety of the saw palmetto. Conclusions: "The existing literature on S repens for treatment of BPH is limited in terms of the short duration of studies and variability in study design, use of phytotherapeutic preparations, and reports of outcomes. However, the evidence suggests that S repens improves urologic symptoms and flow measures. Compared with finasteride (drug treatment), S repens produces similar improvement in urinary tract symptoms and urinary flow and was associated with fewer adverse treatment events. Further research is needed using standardized preparations of S repens to determine its long-term effectiveness and ability to prevent BPH complications.
Men's Health and What you Need to Know about Saw Palmetto, by Steven Foster, is a good introduction to Saw Palmetto. (One of the most respected names in herbal medicine, with over 23 years of experience, Steven Foster, is an author, photographer, and consultant specializing in medicinal and aromatic plants. He is the author of 10 books and he serves on the editorial boards of several magazines including, Herbs for Health, The Herb Companion, and HerbalGram . Foster is President of Steven Foster Group, Inc., in Fayetteville, Arkansas.) In this well documented article, Saw Palmetto Extract: Nature's Answer To Prostate Enlargement, Dr. Michael T. Murray cites a study that showed impressive changes in the quality of life of those treated with saw palmetto. (Michael T. Murray, N.D. is widely regarded as one of the world's leading authorities on natural medicine. He is a graduate, faculty member, and serves on the Board of Trustees of Bastyr University in Seattle, Washington. Dr. Murray is the co-author of A Textbook of Natural Medicine, the definitive textbook on naturopathic medicine for physicians, as well as the consumer version - Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine. He has also written over 20 other books. He has personally collected over 50,000 articles from the scientific literature which provide strong evidence on the effectiveness of diet, vitamins, minerals, glandular extracts, herbs, and other natural measures in the maintenance of health and the treatment of disease. According to Dr. Murray, "One of the great myths about natural medicines is that they are not scientific. The fact of the matter is that for most common illnesses there is greater support in the medical literature for a natural approach than there is for drugs or surgery." ) In the article Saw Palmetto Shrinks Enlarged Prostate Tissue, Krista Morien of the Herb Research Foundation cites a randomized clinical trial which show that saw palmetto not only improves symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia, but also reduces swelling in enlarged prostate tissue. In the article, Phytomedicines outperform synthetics in treating enlarged prostate, Rob McCaleb, HRF of the Herb Research Foundation notes that saw palmetto offers superior symptomatic relief in prostate disease, as defined by the most common clinical tests and it improves quality of life and has a "practically negligible side effect risk." |
