Here is a previous posting I had done. But shortly after I quit taking the saw palmetto and I got better much faster. Other guys had noticed saw palmetto was giving them trouble so I quit. Also, I believe strongly in acidolphylus or eating tons of yougart that say live cultures on the label for candida. Docs will laugh at you about this but after seeing how fast I improved, mt doc wanted more informatin....
I use Bromelain 500mg in capsule form. I was taking one with breakfast and one at supper time. 160mg of saw palmetto, one in the am and one in the pm (320 total). Fenugreek Seed capsules that I have are 610mg. I used them twice a day also. I also drank fenugreek tea from actual fenugreek seed.
I got bromelain from The Vitamin Shoppe, www.vitaminshoppe.com , right now their brand in bottles of 100 are about $6.50, Cheaper in bigger bottles. I really started to feel better when I started the fenugreek, but picked up faster when I added the bromelain.

I had fenugreek already as I have asthma and was told it will help clear up the congestion of asthma. (It works very well for that too.) So it made sense that if it could clear out the airway tubes, it could clean out my sperm tubing. After I took both fenugreek and bromelain, my ejaculate was really weird for a number of times. Was all globby and a weird color. Then it returned to normal. Now it is nice and creamy again. And at the same time time I began to improve.

But, remember, whether you use herbs or chiropratic or any natural products, do NOT think they will react quickly like drugs do. Natural products and chiropratic both work by helping your body fight things off. So it takes a little while for it to build up enough to make a difference. So be patient!

I still have lows but I am able to work and even started back to the gym on a limited basis. Just the last week my ytesticle started hurting, then my teeth, then my skin itched, my legs felt like they were totally exhausted. But yesterday and today I feel a bit better again. So I probably am on the upswing again.

I really, really watch my testicles. I try to not put pressure on them, even careful about what chairs I sit in. I do not hardly drive so I am not constantly rubbing/moving my balls as I shift gears, use the brake, etc. I am even careful about stepping off a curb or something like that. I know that driving to work one day I about got hit. I jammed the brake, pushed in the clutch, and whatever else you do in a panic to avoid a crash. I did avoid it but within 2 hours I felt like I was kicked in the balls. My epididymis area swelled and apparently was really infamed for about 10 days. I cannot stress how much you need to be careful.

Feel free to contact me for more info!

I am feeling better still (this is about 5 weeks after I wrote the above). I still feel tired on and off and my testicle hurts a little, but over all I am ok. But it has taken months to get this far. And I feel it was a combination of things like I write above and on the above posting address.
