Dear Stealth,

Prior to its active ingredient being synthesized in the late 1960's
the only thing in the in the Pharmacopia specifically for 'urinary
tract health' was Serenoa repens, commonly known as Saw Palmetto.
Even more surprising is that the stuff actually works (!!)

It is available in the herbal section at most pharmacies and health
food stores.

If you have never taken it before, begin by taking two 450mg capsules
twice per day. That is, 1800mg total. If there is no evidence of
benefit, as might be the case with old herbal stock or with an over-
weight individual, you may increase the dosage up to 2700 mg per day
in 450 mg steps with at least five days at each new level.

When you have evidence the herb is working you should begin REDUCING
your dosage (It is available in dosages smaller than 450), seeking a
minimum level that provides the desired result.

As I said, the stuff actually works -- which is a surprise to many
physicians, who seem to think all drugs come from the pack of salesmen
who flood their offices with free lunches, free tickets to what-ever,
and ANYTHING ELSE that will cause the physician to prescribe their
product, a sad state of affairs that would be illegal were it not for
the POWERFUL drug company lobby that makes sure this form of bribery
remains legal.

But you want to make sure you are taking only the MINIMUM amount
required. So be warned.
