I have suffered from prostatitis since the mid-1950s and kept it pretty well under control until the last few years.

Back in the 1950s an Air Force colonel urologist told me the best thing you can do for prostatitis is to have regular and frequent {*filter*}.

And that advice has served me fairly well until recently.

I am living in the Philippines where injectable testosterone is not available.  And the VA clinic here refuses to get it for me.  Because of an overdose of Depomedrol for treatment of a respiratory disorder my pituitary gland was wiped out and I am completely impotent without testosterone replacement therapy.

I have found a few references to the theory espoused by the old colonel in recent literature but cannot seem to get enough to suit the VA.

This is ironic in view of the fact that the VA in the states furnished me with what I needed for years without question.

If anyone knows of anything in writing to support the old colonel's instructions which has served me well I would appreciate it.

A copy of this is being sent to my contact person at the  VA, a delightful young lady by the name of Lucy.

She is not part of the problem. She is just a messenger to the powers-that-be there.

Thank you for any help you may give me.

Look, if AEF simply admits that the protocol he follows does not offer a
long-term "cure" to our condition in *most* if not all cases, and if he stops
attracting foreigners to his clinic via his website, then I'd have no beef with
him.

I will keep in touch as the months progress...but for now...I am glad I found his website....   Right now I feel pretty good... and I am thankful for whatever I get.

Well, a number of people do not subscribe to the infection theory.  They
actually have some interesting arguments.  The main problem is that
antibiotics do not seem to cure the illness.

Another reason AEF is controversial, IMO, is that he is claiming to cure
90% of his prostatitis patients.  I do not believe that he is.  I am not
alone.

Yes they do penetrate it but not real well I guess.

Maybe not always.

Maybe he couldn't think of anything else to do.

Costs a lot of money for one.  And time.  To do it well, that is.

I agree that the basic protocol is not particularly controversial.  What
seems to irritate people is that this doctor claims to have some sort of
unique protocol that one must travel to the Phillipines to
peruse.  Hardly.  Many other docs could do the same thing.  Also, the cure
rate is another problem -- the main one in my book.
