"I am 69 years old, diabetic, with two stents and a pacemaker/defibrillator, along with some other health problems that have left me impotent. My PSA has been elevated for several years, and I have had six needle biopsies of the prostate over six years, all of which have been negative for cancer.
However, as a result of my last biopsy,
enterococcus,
a bowel organism always present in the gut, was introduced into my prostate. Ordinarily this is a relatively harmless organism. However, it becomes a different beast when it escapes the gut and gets into the bloodstream.
In my case the organism caused an acute
prostatitis
which in turn invaded my blood stream. This bug has a propensity to colonize heart valves and any hardware such as stents and pacemakers one may have. I was in intensive care for almost two weeks and subjected to the most powerful antibiotics available.
Fortunately, the germ did not colonize my pacemaker, stents, nor heart valves. But, the antibiotics apparently did not completely kill out all of the enterococcus, and left me with chronic prostatitis.
Finding that my urologist and conventional physicians were not getting to the source of the problem, I turned to a naturopath who taught me how to do an external prostate massage.
In addition, I researched internal massage as a means of increasing blood circulation in the prostate. It made sense to me that by increasing circulation, antibiotics would be more available to the gland, and toxins would be removed from the prostate by the venous blood flow.
Finding a therapist who will perform an internal prostate massage is not easy, and when one is located, the service is expensive given the fact that frequent massage is required in order to be effective.
Searching the internet, I found your website and I discovered a means of
performing internal prostate massage on myself through the use of the Aneros device.
It is designed for the purpose and is gentle.
Unfortunately, it is marketed primarily as a sex toy, but its use provides a medical advantage for those who suffer from prostatitis.
Because of my age and health, using the Aneros is not an erotic experience for me. However, using it for forty-five minutes to an hour two or three times a week has significantly improved my urologic problems.
My PSA is falling, my urinary symptoms are significantly improved, and I have had no further episodes of entercoccus infection in the prostate. I have shared my experience with my naturopath, and he is now incorporating this approach in his practice with men who complain of prostate difficulties, and he reports good results.
I think that without the benefit of internal prostate massage through the use of the
Aneros,
my prostatitis might have killed me."
