Prostatitis "apple therapy"

In addition to proteins, various enzymes, and organic substances, the main components of the prostatic fluid contain many trace elements, of which zinc accounts for the majority. It has been reported that the zinc content of human prostate tissue is much higher than other tissues of the body. It was determined that the zinc content in prostatic fluid was 720 μg/dl, while the zinc content in other tissues was only 80 μg/dl. So what role does zinc play in prostate tissue?

Abroad through an experimental study found that prostatic fluid contains a certain amount of antibacterial ingredients, further research shows that this antibacterial component of the substance is a zinc-containing protein, its main component is zinc, and affects the phagocytic function of inflammatory cells, its antibacterial effect Like penicillin, this antibacterial ingredient is called Prostatic Liquid Antibacterial Factor. And it was found that in chronic prostatitis, the zinc content is significantly reduced and it is difficult to increase.

According to the results of the study, the zinc concentration in normal prostatic fluid was 567.5±49.4 μg/ml, 324.5±34.9 μg/ml in patients with non-bacterial prostatitis, and 135.6±28.1 μg/ml in patients with bacterial prostatitis. The results were confirmed during inflammation. Zinc content in the prostatic fluid is significantly reduced, and the bacterial zinc content is even lower. After treatment with the Chinese herbal prostatic soup developed by us, the zinc content can gradually return to normal as the prostatitis is improved or cured, indicating that zinc is chronic There is a clear correlation between the onset and outcome of prostatitis.

Since the content of zinc in the blood and prostatic fluid is related to the ability of the prostate to kill bacteria and bacteria, the use of zinc-containing drugs for the treatment of chronic prostatitis, whether the drug can be effectively absorbed, and the proper dosage of the prodrug will be a very good Important matter. This is because high levels of zinc in the prostate can prevent the action of neutral and macrophages, reduce the vitality of these cells, and prevent white blood cells from exerting normal antibacterial effects. Some foreign clinical medical researchers have found that apple juice has an amazing effect on zinc deficiency. This research is called "apple therapy."

In patients with chronic prostatitis, in addition to reduced zinc levels in the prostatic fluid, skin irritation, hair loss, etc. may cause many annoying symptoms to the patient. Compared with the zinc-containing drugs used in the past, apple juice is more effective than zinc-containing drugs, and it is safe, easy to digest and absorb, and it is welcomed and easily accepted by patients. The effect is proportional to the apple juice concentration, the more concentrated the better the effect. Therefore, patients with chronic prostatitis often eat some apples is a very beneficial diet therapy. As a simple and easy treatment, "apple therapy" is easily accepted by patients with prostatitis.
