Omalizumab removes UCPPS symptoms

Well, n=1 , but I have had a report from an old friend that treatment with omalizumab injections has removed his UCPPS. Here is a list of what is gone: CPPS (I can’t detect it now). Asthma. All allergies to pollen, dust, dander. Dermographism. Urticaria. Itching. I thought I'd note it here for futur...

Men with UCPPS cannot relax pelvic muscles normally

Men without a history of pelvic pain were able to relax their pelvic floor muscles back to baseline after performing voluntary pelvic floor muscle contractions. In contrast, men with CP/CPPS, particularly those with ejaculation-related pain, had an impaired ability to relax their pelvic floor muscl...

Re: Malone-Lee, Gill, Kriz — the "embedded infection" scam

Interesting question and answer from Reddit: I went to Malone Lee’s clinic in London and spoke to one of his doctors. He told me that there was an embedded infection caught in biofilm.

CBD Oil — research vacuum 😣

I have now read several anecdotal reports of CBD oil helping men with UCPPS. Usually the men say they have used tinctures with high CBD content (>15%) and low THC content (<2%). This is an area where research is sorely lacking. Today I read an interesting case history of an old woman with lung cance...

That's what I love to do is do consumer alert stuff. We now know that aspartame is absolutely linked to cancer, no doubt about it, the more you're expo...
