 ABSTRACT

The Coconut Research Center in Sri Lanka states that published studies in medical journals show that coconut, in one form or another, may provide a wide range of health benefits. In particular Coconut relieves symptoms associated with benign prostate hyperplasia (enlargement)(BPH). However no information on coconut dosage is given. Thus it had to be found by trial and error.

 ARTICLE

 As it robs one of a good nights sleep BPH is a very debilitating affliction. The widely used saw palmetto on that I had been relying for years is very unsatisfactory. So I was strongly motivated to find a better remedy. Searching the Internet I came upon coconut. According to the Coconut Research Center in Sri Lanka, India, [1] coconut relieves symptoms associated with benign prostate hyperplasia. This appears to have been Hindu knowledge for centuries. By trial and error I found that three doses of 20 g of fresh coconut meat taken one each at breakfast, dinner and midnight were promising and so were two doses of 15 g finely shredded dried coconut meat taken one each at breakfast and dinner.         

 E O Olapade [2] has even claimed the successful CURING of 32 cases of BPH after <12 weeks of treatment with un-specified coconut phytomedicines before 2000 in Nigeria. However 8 years later he still has not published the details necessary to check his claim.

Why has nobody in Medicine proposed E O Olapade for the Medicine Nobel Prize? 

As a primate Homo sapiens and close relative of Homo troglodytes, a Chimp, I have approximated for years an obviously raw predominantly fruit- and leaf Chimp diet [3]. Since fruit supplies plenty of water the only additional food supplements were one capsule of Maximum Prostate and 250 cc of orange juice at breakfast.

  RESULTS

 A. Coconut oil had no effect.

B. Currently I need to urinate only every 2-6 hours. Before that, on saw palmetto, I urinated every 1-2 hour with an obviously smaller volume.

C. The urination volume is now 100-300 cc.

 My wife Diana Dundore made important suggestions for improving the manuscript.
