"The uro will probably drop me on my upcoming visit"

If he does, you should contact your state/provincial medical
licensing body, fast.

John...I can see you haven't been to many doctors. A doctor can
drop you anytime he wants. All he has to say is that there is nothing
more he can do for you, and God forbid if you indicate that you research
your disease or condition. The licensing body would be a waste of time.
Have been there in the past. To sue a doctor for malpractice you have to
suffer an actual loss (ie you can't sue him just because he doesn't want to
be
your doctor any more) and hire a contingency lawyer and it will cost
them 25 K just to open a case file. In other words a doctor has to do
something real serious like operate on the wrong side of your body or
something of similar magnitude and you need to get other doctors to testify
against him, etc.

"they will tell you maybe you have a virus - right. Just for your
info I was on antibiotics..."

Antibiotics are of no use against viruses. Try to locate a virologist
to see if there are any tests that can be usefully done.

John...you missed my point here. I certainly know that antis are of no
use against viruses. I was just trying to say that the uro was trying to
say my malaise might have been from a virus. I was taking the antis as
a standard uro treatment for prostatitis even in the abscence of
identifiable
bacteria. If white blood cells show up, they will still give you the antis.

"If you have any doubts about what I'm saying, you can do your own
research at pubmed.com Do searches for things like "oxidative stress
prostate," for example."

It's true that montygram is a stuck record on PUFAs, but if you
haven't yet tried research on pubmed, I recommend it. If you aren't
used to scientific language though, it can be tough to understand and
put in context. In searching the web, I strongly recommend skipping
any site that sells supplements - many of them wear blinkers at best
and are downright dangerous at worst.

Aflatoxins in nuts are indeed extremely dangerous, but can easily be
avoided. Buy your nuts from a source where they smell fresh and dry,
with not the slightest hint of mould or rot, then keep them that way
in jars in a frig until you eat them.

Most of all, keep asking questions as long as you are suffering the
way you are. And, try to find a local support or self/help group -
even just knowing you aren't alone can help a great deal.
