Answers:
Take zinc tablets (50mg to 60mg) for 3 to 6 months..
Then take one tab every 2 weeks once symptoms have gone away..

I've never had to actually try this, but when I was in med school a guy from China told me about it.. Apparently it's an ancient Chinese treatment/cure..

Saw Palmetto is good.. Buy it at any drugstore.. Other possibilities include -
Flaxseed oil
Ginseng
Lycopene
Vitamin B6
Pygeum Africanum PLUS Stinging Nettles
Vitamin E (400 IU)
Selenium (200 mcg)Health Question & Answer
