Prostate disease is internationally recognized as one of the top ten diseases that are very difficult to treat. The incidence of prostate problems has ranked first in male diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a global statistics shows that men over the age of 20, chronic prostatitis has a prevalence rate of 31% -40%. About 50% of those elderly men over the age of 60 years are suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia, and 88% of those 70 years of age up. Former Vice-Minister of Health Wang Longde of China, during a press conference held at the State Council Information Office revealed that in China, the incidence of prostate disease is as high as 41% among the 24-64 year-old working population. About 200 million people are mentally and physically suffering from prostate disease in China. In Philippines, former Health Secretary Enrique Ona had said: “50 percent of Filipino men aged 50 and above will develop urinary and prostate problems that progress as they age.”
The common diseases affecting the prostate are prostatitis, enlargement of the prostate (BPH) and prostate cancer. The highest number of patients visited the urologist clinic are mostly incidence of prostatitis, which composed 1/4 of all visiting patients, followed by benign prostatic hyperplasia, then next is prostate cancer. Men suffering from prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) usually have the following two or more symptoms: 1, morning erection phenomenon almost disappeared; 2, wet underwear after urination; 3, nocturia or the need to wake up and pass urine at night more than twice; 4, Cannot hold for half an hour when there is an urge for urination; 5, pain at the perineum, lower abdomen or urinary tract, and damp-heat at the scrotal; 6, whitish urethral discharge or hematuria (blood in urine); 7, dysuresia (difficulty in passing urine), urinary hesitancy (difficult to initiate or maintain a urine stream), urinary incontinence (dripping of urine), urine bifurcation (urine flow during excretion splits into halves) or interruption, 8, ischuria (stoppage or reduction in the flow of urine) & etc,
Mild cases in prostate disease may affect normal daily life. In severe cases, it will lead to renal dysfunction, cancer and even life-threatening. The efficacy of western medicine and treatment methods, even ordinary Chinese herbal medicine are not satisfactory, not as good as expected. These have brought social distress, severe economic hardship, and becoming a hindrance in the development of the society. Therefore, the existing medical treatment models need to be changed urgently! Has it as a priority to change to a more comprehensive ideal prevention and treatment system.
Why prostate disease is so difficult to deal with and uncontrollable? The reason is that men have a layer of mysterious prostate capsule. The main function of the prostate gland is to secrete and store prostatic fluid that mixed with sperm into semen. It is an important component of semen. The prostate is covered by three distinct layers of thick membranes with connective tissue, fibrous sheath and smooth muscle composition, which is as dense as rubber. The purpose is to prevent the invasion of bacteria, viruses and foreign organisms. That is why; the defensive control of human being in protecting the prostate is supposedly secured. Under normal circumstances, only the lipid-soluble alkaline substances can penetrate into it. General antibiotics and other drugs almost do not have this feature. This is one of the reasons that have been existed for a long time why many drugs have poor efficacy.
According to China Moxibustion Institute (also known as Institute of Acupuncture & Moxibustion of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences), here are the following reasons why prostate problems are so difficult to treat.
1, Oral medicines do not work effectively in prostate problems due to its inability to percolate through the prostatic peplos (capsule). That is why cannot help to maintain the smoothness of urinary tract and ducts that needs to excrete various toxins that cause obstruction in the prostate gland. Prostate gland is covered by a layer of outer membrane, which is as dense as rubber. Under normal circumstances, only lipid soluble alkaline substances can permeate into. Such a thing, no matter how good the drug is still having difficulty to penetrate this layer of coating. The distribution of the oral medicines that circulate around each organ and all over the body still cannot effectively increase the proliferation of concentrated drug into the prostate. It is just like scratching your feet with your shoes on.
2, Physiotherapy cannot eradicate from the gland the toxins, the viruses, bacteria; such as mycoplasma, chlamydia, and the dihydrotestosterone which cause hyperplasia. The prostate is like soaking in poisonous fluids which is refractory to stimulation.
3. The invasive operating procedure forcefully will eliminate the obstruction in the urinary tract, but cannot treat the cause of the disease, yet with high risk involvement, rather will cause severe side effects. Prostate surgery must first require urethral catheterization, after the prostatectomy for some time; the gland will bound to adhesion. Again will cause urethral obstruction, and may lead to loss of sexual function, reverse ejaculation or systemic infection. No matter what kind of surgery, patients have to endure the pain, and also have to shoulder very expensive cost.
4, Conventional methods just attend to single part treatment, never consider improving the related factors that affect the urinary system in order to solve the fundamental problem, only concentrated on the surface of prostate disease to provide medication, ignoring the holistic approach in treatment, headache treating the head, foot pain treating the foot.
What matter most is those patients who suffer from prostatitis or hyperplasia problem already for a long duration, the affected organ is not just simply the prostate, but will damage the kidney, bladder, urinary tract, the entire urinary system. It will become life-threatening if not timely treated.
According to the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China (MOH): the "Prostate Moxibustion" researched and developed by China Moxibustion Institute is a treasure contributed to the medical world by China. After a large number of strict and intensive clinical trials done in hospitals, has proven the "Prostate Moxibustion" of Chinese Moxibustion is very effective in the treatment of prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia which could achieve the effects of solving both urination problems and erectile dysfunction in the following three-steps to treat the root cause.
First step: Heat with drug will automatically permeate through the peplos (capsule)
The heating element with medicine will work on specific acupuncture points. The unique high-tech thermodynamic effect of “Prostate Moxibustion” will rapidly escalate the heat with drug to 40-46 degrees Celsius. On one hand, the heat will melt the medicine for activation. On the other hand, it will relax the skin area where the medicine is pasted so to open up the pores to make the acupuncture point susceptible for drug absorption. It will facilitate blood circulation; unblock the obstruction in meridians, rapidly allowing the medicine in molecular form to penetrate down through the skin passing through the meridians and blood reaching to the prostate gland with layers of transmission under this heat-driven power.
The moxibustion will produce continuous heat for almost 12 hours. It is a source of steady stream bio-heat directing to the focus area through channels and then will converge on the targeted prostate lesions. Under the bio-thermal effect focus on the lipid coated prostate will produce a "molecular sieve relaxation effect" allowing the lipid-soluble drug in molecular form to get through the prostate capsule barrier then influx into the lesion core which will then rapidly killed the bacteria with anti-inflammatory effect. This thermodynamics oriented drug treatment for prostate disease is a major breakthrough, a core advantage over others that cannot be matched.
Step two: Lysis of bacterial cells and anti-inflammatory, eradication of hyperplasia
The synchronization effect of heat and drug in such a way, the drug will inhibit the proliferation of heat, and the heat will evoke the medicine to a highly potent drug. It is clinically proven that the Prostate Moxibustion of Chinese Moxibustion is a highly standard medicine in the treatment of prostatitis and benign prostatic hyperplasia that have achieved a very successful curative rate.
For prostatitis, the role of the Chinese Moxibustion through persistent heat that stimulate the acupuncture points and meridians will increase tremendously the lysozyme activity of the prostate gland, regardless of whether it is or not a detected bacteria or viruses, through this process, bacteria or viruses could be drastically eradicated by the lysozyme activity inside the prostate gland. Finally, due to long hours of persisting heat acting on the obstructed area will speed up the metabolic process inside the prostate gland in order to restore the entire damaged prostate gland back to normal, through series of treatment to achieve the purpose of curing the disease radically.
For benign prostatic hyperplasia, due to lesser blood vessels at the enlarged area which has poor damp-heat dissipation will easily lead to damp-heat accumulation causing the enlargement. Enlarged area has poor damp-heat tolerance, hyperplasia tissue stimulated by bio-thermal heating at 41 degrees Celsius will begin to retract and shrink. In addition, the presence of heated drug will decrease the activity of 5 alpha-reductase and block the synthesis of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), thus preventing the emergence of new benign prostatic hyperplasia. Prostate hyperplasia will shrink in a very short period of time, urinary tract then become unobstructed.
The third step: Correcting both urination problems and erectile dysfunction, improving sexual function
The drug molecules driven by bio-heat penetrated into the prostate then further spread toward the kidney, bladder and the entire urinary tract system will clear the obstructions that cause poor circulation on organs of the urinary system. Prostate symptoms once eliminated, the use of “Strong Kidney Moxibustion” of Chinese Moxibustion can greatly help to improve sexual function which is related to the kidney function, so the health status of the urinary system can be completely restored. Truly could achieve to solve both the problems of urination and erectile dysfunction!
