The prostates of eunuchs are small and underdeveloped, and enlargement of the prostate is unknown.

Tess April 11th, 2007

Infants and children are equally, if not more, at risk of developing symptoms of UTI. Providing urinary tract infection cure to infants and younger children is difficult as they are unable to speak or tell correctly the type of problem they are facing.

Tess April 6th, 2007

Beta-sitosterol is the main active ingredient in the herbs saw palmetto and pygeum. Both of these herbs do not have enough beta-sitosterol to be of real value in giving you prostate health. Now, beta-sitosterol, which can be obtained from sugar cane pulp, can be purchased in capsule doses of 300 - 600 mg, which gives you an effective dose to eliminate your enlarged prostate.
