JNR, I had my prostate removed on 5th May 09 because of prostate cancer. I stopped using testosterone gel then, I'm now 60 yo and do not have the energy like before but am wondering if you (or anyone) got any answers about the safety issue of restarting the T gel. Please answer direct to me on ***@**** any help is appreciated.
I used it in conjunction with my viagra and when i ran out of my viagra supply. It is L-Arginine. Another supplement is L-Carnitine. Don't take them together. L-Carnitine should be taken on a emply stomach. There are many different forms--and they each have a slightly different function. What i took of the L-Carnitine is GPLC by Jarrow pharmaceuticals. I know Australia has several good supplier of supplements. L-Arginine works differently than viagra.
Testosterone Alternatives
The biggest concern with replacing testosterone has been the potential risk of developing prostate cancer. But the fact is that replacement puts you at no more risk than if you had normal testosterone levels to begin with. But if you already have prostate cancer (or had it
in the past), there is a danger that the hormone could feed the cancer’s growth. That is why a thorough urological exam with sensitive PSA testing is essential before you consider replacement.
My question is, What would be your recommendation or suggestion if I was to start taking L-Arginine w/ Ornithine after my prostate cancer surgery? I am weight lifting and need the extra boost to build muscle mass and also to use in place of Viagra.
The reason I ask is because one of the warnings is to prohibit the use of such supplement if a person has cancer.
I would be very appreciative of your response.
My husband (49 years old) was diagnosed with prostate cancer in January 2006. After two evaluations and meetings with surgeons and radiologists we decided on him having the radiation treatment instead of surgery. He was just totally against the surgery. The treatment went very well and so far he is doing good. No major problems to speak of until now. Recently he has been bleeding from his penis either during sex, after sex and during urination and sometimes in his sleep.
I have a question from the opposite angle.. I had been told l- arginine would be of help releasing nitric oxide in the blood to help with male erection/orgasm ..however, that arginine shouldn't be taken by those with hsv1/2 because it can provoke an outbreak. Can you debunk this ? I would love to take arginine if it can help at all !
Although some studies suggest that L-arginine may benefit certain health conditions, other research shows that L-arginine may have harmful effects on some individuals.
A large body of data suggests that NO actually promotes tumor progression.
L Citrulline, like arginine, it can convert into nitric oxide NO.
Be careful!!
Yes. L-Arg\inine is used therapeutically up to 15 grams a day. It is a systemic vasodilator and opens up microcirculation, which increases body capacitance and reduces blood pressure. Excellent for diabetic neuropathy as well. Many people take it four or five times per day in small doses. Purchase the L-Arginine in quantity (at health food stores), rather than in capsules and you will save a lot of money.
Don't waste your $$$$ and This supplement L-arginine increases nitric oxide (NO) which hampers the ability of T-cells in fighting cancer.
& one thing that i understand from the report is: the sequential therapy facilitate the T-cell function to word the Hbsag clearance fast. Does this mean adding L-Arginine to our Nuc's helps more to facilitate to the Hbsag clearance? Thanks!
Well, I've searched a lot and all I've found is that L-arginine can make herpes (HSV) replicate and get worse. But I haven't found a study saying that it could be the same with HPV.
I bought a protein supplement of egg protein and I've read that it has lysine and lutein which seems to have a good effect in the clearance of HPV, but it also has L-Arginine and there are mixed opinions about it... Anyone has tried it with success?
Btw...
