Unfortunately, I went through prostate cancer with virtually little support, including the woman who I was married to for 26 years. Due to a diagnosis of bipolar and mental health illness, that now appears to be early onset of Parkinson's, everyone left except some really great friends. I have yet to find and have any intimate relations, but one of the best things I could do was to masterbate, have an erection and an orgasm. It raised my dopamine hormones and completely changed me. Parkinson's has become a catch all for low dopamine levels that when neurologist detect a movement disorder give that diagnosis. Using a DAAT scan you can see the issue. Mental health is purely behavioral and they have no idea how to detect it except for opinions with no independent actual concrete evidence. The drugs they give you are mostly SSRIs and mood stabilizers that further reduce your dopamine levels. Long story, but I went through my prostate being removed, having an emergency, drain put in after they called a code blue. I managed to drive f I'm Boston to Vermont to attend my son's wedding with a drain and only needing one nap. When I returned back to Boston something didn't seem right and I went to ER and they immediately contacted my urologist who with an RN took me to their outpatient facilities with me on a gurney, running as fast as they could. I had a camera put up my penis and through my urethra with only a small bit of pain killer around the camera. To say it was excruciating is an understatement. Even then I watched the screen while the doctor told me I wasn't completely healed before the Foley catheter and I was urinating out of the drain. 6 months later I had 35 radiation treatments, that were scheduled for 8 am MWF. It kicked my ass. It took years, but after having no prostate, one bundle of nerves gone l,nI do not need any injections, pills, pumps, or other products to achieve an erection. The body can heal itself if you give it the opportunity.

Today I visited my pulmonologist and after having been on all types of meds, remarked how great I looked, my weight is down, my O2 levels are great and my lungs have repaired a lot of damage that has been done over the years. He pulled me off of a med and the only one left for the lungs is being reduced and eventually gone.

He asked me what I was doing. Great diet, low carbs, fresh veggies and fruits, no added sugar, stay away from juices, high proteins, low fat meats, no beef or pork, fresh fish especially tuna and salmon. I don't count calories, carbs or even figure out what diet to call it. It works. I have done it before and am doing it now

Stress is a killer as is smoking, drinking and drugs legal or otherwise. Even doing too much of one thing combined with another at the same time can be a problem, regardless if it is holistic or not. Your body is going to detox and too much at one time will bite you in the butt and make you sick.

My advice: be patient, enjoy life, and stay in tune with what your body is telling you. At 59 almost 60, I have learned those that are left are remarkable people who took a number of issues, resolved them and moved forward to the next generation. Unfortunately most of our young adults do not understand some basic skills or subjects including all three of my children who are in there 30's and think they know it all since they are all college educated and finished school debt free because I paid their tuition, unlike me who had to work for practically every dime.
