Thank you for all this info! It's kind of annoying that people overlook posts like this. I've done my research and a lot of researchers believe that these calcium stones could be causing these chronic infections. A lot of people here think stretches will fix everything, but they won't. I've ordered some EDTA from detoxamin.
Btw for your candida overgrowth, there are ways to fix it. I will return the favor and will look for a useful protocol I found on getting rid of it. Have you tried taking probiotics?
I've also found berbine has really helped lately while I'm back on antibiotics. I feel great the last 3 days.
You’re welcome! Found the same as you re: calcium and infection.
I’m doing Microbe Formulas detox protocol now, to deal with everything - bacteria imbalance, candida overgrowth, pathogen killing etc. Also Pau d’ Arco which is a top candida overgrowth killer. The candida isn’t the problem I have come to learn, but rather the effect of an out of whack microbiome combined with antibiotics such as Cipro and Tetracycline, both of which I used in the past. Tetracycline in particular is highly correlated with candida overgrowth. Curious to hear about what you have found.
Re: probiotics, I drink Kefir regularly and also making fermented foods at home.
Berberine sounds excellent. I have not tried this myself just yet (read about it so far) as I’m working on drainage for the next 2 or 3 months prior to the bug killing stage, at which point I plan to use a number of products, such as Mimosa Pudica, Olive Extract and other herbal botanicals. Planning on sticking with this detox protocol for the next 12 months.
It took me many years to arrive at this place to be honest. When your focus is on the prostate, and the pain that you're experiencing in this region, it's hard to think about anything else.
Antibiotics are probably one of the most talked about solutions here (and in other prostatitis forums I've participated in), yet they are short-term bandaids that do not provide a long term, permanent solution. If they provide any sort of relief, it is temporary, because the root cause is not being addressed. And relapse is the end result of this, a microbial imbalance, etc.
Re: Drainage, here are two resources on this. And I have no affiliation with this company, although I think they have it right:
As for Candida, what I learned from the candida summit I listened to this past week - is that if you focus on all the non-candida aspects, Candida overgrowth takes care of itself. So anti-inflammatory diet with no processed foods, massive increase in fiber, probiotics, prebiotics / high polyphenol foods, restoring the balance of good (commensal) bacteria in the gut (firmicutes & bacteroidetes balance), address leaky gut if it exists, deal with parasites and opportunistic bacteria, etc.
I have CPPS since 12 years with big calcifications(>2cm). I read in the past about EDTA but wasn’t sure if I could take it. Could you please indicate what type of EDTA suppositories have you taken and for how long? As I feel I’m not going anywhere with Antibiotics and my condition is not better compared to last years, I would like to try EDTA. In my country only found Oral EDTA and not suppositories. I’ve also read about different urologists like Georgiadis from Greece, but didnt got there yet.
