Q: Saw Palmetto for enlarged prostate

My husband has an enlarged prostate. His most recent PSA was 8.0. He had a biopsy in Dec. 2007 with 12 snips taken. Thank God, there is no cancer.

I just heard that Saw Palmetto can reduce an enlarged prostate. Does any one do this? Has it helped?

Is there an expert out there that can give any advice?

Thanks.

This product can be very helpful for some men with hyperplasic prostate. My father-in-law uses this and has had wonderful results. Many doctors now recommend this product to their patients. Check with his doctor if your husband is on any medications. You don't want any interactions with medications. Hope this helps.
