Boys, Gear and Garlic

[RicPhoenix]

I thought this might be of interest for any guy choosing to use AAS. It basically shows that a certain preparation of garlic extract can reduce symptoms of prostate swelling or tumor growth (I could not attach the .pdf file of the actual article sorry):

Consumption of aqueous garlic extract leads to significant
improvement in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia
and prostate cancer

Abstract

Aim:

Investigation of possible effects of garlic extract supplementation on disease parameters of patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PC).

Materials and methods:

Twenty seven patients with BPH and 9 patients with prostate cancer participated in the study. Patients
consumed aqueous garlic extract at the daily amount of 1 ml/kg weight for a month and then, pre- and post- disease parameters were examined.

Results:

Mass of prostate was found to be significantly lowered in the BPH group after extract consumption. Urinary frequency was established to be decreased, maximum and average rates of urine flow significantly increased after experimental period.
In the cancer group, significantly lowered total and free PSA values were measured after extract consumption. No change was however observed in the mass of prostate of this group. The parameters of urinary frequency, maximum and average rates of urinary flow were also established to be
significantly improved in the cancer group.

Conclusions:

Results suggest that garlic extract supplementation
leads to significant improvement in disease parameters of the patients with BPH and PC.

Well I believe there's some research that indicates it's "lack of testosterone" that causes prostate cancer, not too much. That's why older men (that produce less testosterone) are prone to getting it.

I heard that too, BUT sometimes while on dbol right after I piss I can feel my prostate "pinch" or something and it hurts awful.

causes...

I think prostate swelling is due to conversion of testosterone...or excess testosterone in younger men...to dht which is part of the aromatization process.
