  2. Topics: • Muscle Mass • Prostate Health • NOTE: We have a separate powerpoint on Erectile Dysfunction

  3. Muscle Mass

  4. CREATINE WORKS … it causes enlarged muscle mass! • BUT the new muscle mass is WEAKER and TEARS & TIRES more easily • This puts the body at risk of health problems (there are more muscles in your body than legs and arms (heart, circulatory system, gastrointestinal tract, prostate, etc.)

  5. Health Risks for Creatine • How does this affect your heart muscle … do you really want to create a larger heart that is weaker and tires more easily? • How does this affect your circulatory system … do you really want to cause weakenss in your veins, arteries & capillaries so that you predispose yourself to a higher risk of aneurisms and strokes? • How does this affect your gastrointestinal system … do you really want to cause weakness in your intestinal system, predisposing yourself to a high risk of hernias? • How does this affect your prostate … do you really want to cause it to enalrge and create urination problems?

  6. Shaklee’s SAFE Nutrition Products have been used by over 100 Medal Winners!

  7. Prostate Health

  8. Current U.S. Statistics: • 1 man is diagnosed with prostate cancer every 2 minutes • 1 man dies every 11 minutes • 50 to 75% of men have prostate cancer by age 75

  9. The prostate gland is located just under the bladder and surrounds the urethra like a donut. The urethra is the tube through which urine flows in order to be eliminated from the body

  10. Prostate Size • At birth … size of a pea • After puberty (about • age 25) …size of a • walnut • At andropause • (around 40) … starts to • enlarge again

  11. Male Anatomy Seminal Vesicle Bladder PROSTATE Urethra Vas Deferens Epididymis Penis Testes The prostate is both a gland and a muscle

  12. Functions of the PROSTATE (Muscular Gland) • It works in concert with the • bladder muscles to control urine • flow • Its muscular function expels • seminal fluids during ejaculation • It produces fluids which • lubricate the urethra, increase • sperm mobility, and transport • sperm through the urethra

  13. The cellular tissue of the Prostate and the Uterus are similar and are very sensitive to hormonal changes Therefore, living in a polluted world where we are exposed to many chemicals that are “Hormone Mimickers” or “Hormone Copy-Cats” creates many health challenges.

  14. Three Main Prostate Problems • Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) • Prostatitis • Prostate Cancer

  15. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Normal Prostate Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) As the prostate enlarges, it compresses the urethra, slowing up the urinary flow.

  16. Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia • Affects 60% of men from the age of 40 to 59 • By age 80 … 90% of men have problems

  17. The Symptoms of BPH • Having to strain to start urination • A weak urination stream • Frequent urination • Night-time urination • Urgent urination signals • Dribbling after urination is complete • When BPH is severe, often the bladder does • not empty properly, and this can cause a man • to be more prone to bladder and kidney • infections

  18. Digital Rectal Exam The doctor is checking the prostate to see if it is enlarged or hardened.

  19. What causes Prostate Enlargement? Testosterone DECREASES Decrease Prolactin Formation * Zinc, B Complex, Essential Fatty Acids (Omega 3&6) * Vivix & Progesterone Cream * Avoid Coffee and Alcohol (they flush away zinc & B) * Avoid Stress Prolactin, estradiol, the luteinizing hormone, and other hormones INCREASE INCREASE in an enzyme Saw Palmetto, Pumpkin Seed & Beta Sitosteral called 5-alpha-reductase * prevents 5-alpha-reductace from binding to cell receptors * anti-inflammatory Which converts “good” testosterone Soy Protein & Zinc into “bad” testosterone called * prevents 5-alpha-reductace from forming DHT dihydro-testosterone (DHT) Which causes tissue of the Prostate to thicken & harden, thereby, enlarging the Prostate

  20. Traditional medical options • Drugs • Surgery

  21. Most Common Drug Options • Finasteride • Proscar • Propecia • 2. Alpha Blockers • Hytrin • Cardura • Flomax • Uroxatral All drugs have undesirable side effects

  22. Side Effects: • Finasteride (5-alpha-reductase inhibitors): (Proscar, Propecia) … after 6-12 months, stats show about 66% of men experience a 10% increase in urine flow • Side Effects: • * decreased libido • * impotency • * ejaculatory problems (decreased semen) • * liver problems • * pregnant women should not be exposed to semen from a man • taking Proscar (nor even touch a Proscar tablet) … it can cause • damage to the fetus) • * causes inaccurate readings of the PSA test (a test used to detect • prostate cancer) • Alpha Blockers: (Hytrin, Cardura, Flomax, Uroxatral)… relaxes the smooth muscle in the prostate, thereby, reducing the stranglehold the muscle has on the urethra • Side Effects: • * can cause a large drop in blood pressure resulting in fainting • * dizziness, lightheadedness, blurred vision • * heart palpitations • * weakness, tiredness, fatigue, falling asleep (instructions = caution when driving) • * impotence • * nasal congestion, difficulty in breathing • * urinary tract infections

  23. Surgical Options • TURP: Transurethral Resection of the Prostate • TUNA: Transurethral Needle Ablation • TUMT: Transurethral Microwave Therapy • VLAP: Visual Laser Ablation of the Prostate • TVP: Transurethral Electrovaporization of the Prostate • TUEP: Transurethral Evaporation of the Prostate • TUBD: Transurethral Balloon Dilation • TUIP: Transurethral Incision of the Prostate

  24. The TURP (Transurethral Resection of the Prostate) The most common surgery for BPH Drills out tissue (nicknamed the “Roter-Rooter” method)

  25. After a TURP … • death rate – 1.8% • 8% have complications that require further surgery • 5% experience impotence • 20% have to have the procedure repeated within 8 years • 15% show symptoms again within one year • 75-80% have retrograde ejaculation (lack of semen fluid • when you want it … instead of moving out during • ejaculation, it moves backward into the bladder)

  26. The TUNA(Transurethral Needle Ablation) Radio frequency therapy heats & destroys tissue

  27. The TUMT(Transurethral Microwave Therapy) Heat is transmitted to “cook off” the excessive tissue

  28. VLAP Visual Laser Ablation of the Prostate A scope-laser is inserted and “zaps” the tissue … dead tissue takes up to 6 weeks to slough off

  29. TUBD Transurethral Balloon Dilation A Balloon is inserted, then blown up to compress and flatten the overgrown prostate tissue This is only a very temporary solution … symptoms return in a year or two

  30. Investigate your complementary and alternative natural options

  31. If 90% of men have problems by 80 years old … would YOU like to be part of the 10% that don’t? This is not by accident … it is by choice

  32. Two types of AGING that occur in the Prostate • Chronological aging • Premature and/or accelerated Aging which is due to: • poor nutrition • lack of detoxification & accumulation of toxins • alcohol & caffeine • reduced levels of internal enzymes due to not • enough raw foods) • a diet high in animal fat, fried foods, or roasted nuts • high levels of chronic stress

  33. How to Reduce Premature and/or Accelerated Aging • Maintain a whole food diet • Supplement with zinc to optimize • intake levels • Use only cold-pressed oils in salad • dressings • Consume only RAW nuts & seeds • Consume more RAW vegetables, • fruits, etc. • Avoid refined carbohydrates • Avoid coffee, tea, & alcohol • Reduce animal fat intake • Eat high fiber foods • Include Shaklee’s Raw Soy Protein in daily diet • Drink enough water • Choose a wise supplement program

  34. Men often buy SIX PACKS … we want to discuss a “HEALTHY SIX PACK”

  35. The Healthy Male Six Pack: Shaklee Soy Protein ShakleeVitalizer without iron Zinc Saw Palmetto Vivix NutriFeron For chronic stress, add Stress Relief Complex

  36. Shaklee’s Saw Palmetto Complex • Saw Palmetto … the oil from saw palmetto berries which contains a number of fatty acids & phytosterols that reduce prostate enlargement • Pumpkin Seed … their oil contains a broad range of phytosterols that have been linked to normal urination for men • Beta-sitosterol … extracted naturally and in high concentration from soybeans, is a third source of phytosterols that has been linked to normal urinary flow in men

  37. However, quality determines results Saw Palmetto Oil Quality • HEXANE … a toxic chemical frequently used by manufacturers • to extract oil from saw palmetto berries • HEXANE … is harmful to the brain and central nervous system • HEXANE … can cause nausea and headaches Shaklee DOES NOT use hexane

  38. Symptoms of Hormonal Imbalance (usually Estrogen Dominance) Abdominal Fat + Breast Enlargement + Bald Spot Progesterone Cream …1/8th teaspoon of a 3% cream … 3 weeks of every month Many men have chosen to support hormonal balance by choosing bio-identical natural progesterone …(supplemental hormones must be used wisely and tested annually to assure proper balance)

  39. Symptoms of beginning of Andropause Ear Hair Nose Hair

  40. Prostatitis (Infection in the Prostate)

  41. Prostatitis … an infection in the Prostate Frequent reoccurrences of prostatitis increase risk of developing prostate cancer

  42. The Symptoms of Prostatitis include • Pain between the scrotum and rectum • Fever (infection often in the bladder) • Blood or pus in the urine • Frequent urination accompanied by a burning • sensation • and in advanced prostatitis, urination becomes • more difficult
