Nice results, Sashman....
WONDERFUL!!...
". . . I pee like a teenager." Spectacular, Frank. And, Zoesman's comment should be repeated: ...
"Skateman mentioned a few weeks/months ago that GG had applied for a US patent. And been refused." Please note that the granting or not of an application for patent has nothing whatsoever to do with...
Hi Clap, You and I are in complete agreement about the doubts raised by Gat and Goren's failure to publish results. Skateman...
Hi Frank, Nice to read about your good results. How is your flow? (By the way, Billy Crystal remarked, while watching Mel Brooks pour water from a pitcher into a glass, "I envy the flow.") Here is...
Carl, You wrote, If you had read my comments over the last year or so, you would know that I think Gat and Goren's theory could have merit, and that I want the Gat-Goren procedure to be successful ....
Hi Carl, I think you misunderstood what has has been "written here" for "more than a year." What has been written here is that Gat and Goren should disclose the results of the hundreds (or is it...
Hi Carl, "Medical trial," or not, this particular study is proof of nothing except that more information is needed. The FULL article, as opposed to the mere abstract, can be found here:...
This website might be of interest: http://www.sirweb.org/patients/varicoceles/ I've not seen a list of USA doctors who perform this procedure....
Yeah, IRD1956, I already perused that publication. I understand this from the US PTO database: "Status: Abandoned -- Failure to Respond to an Office Action" to mean that NO PATENT ISSUED. As I...
Hi Clap, The landing page I use to get started is here: http://patft.uspto.gov/ Once there, you can enter the appropriate search portal. Searching takes practice. With respect to unpublished...
Hi Ian, You wrote, I've checked the US Patent and Trademark Office database. No patent has issued naming Gat and/or Goren as an inventor of any invention relating to the subject matter we have been...
ClapTheHammer spotted something very interesting: Namely that IRD1956 reported, "I think maybe I am also the first person in Australia to have had a GG embolisation done in Australia....with the...
I did receive a response from one of the doctors to whom my most recent email was sent. It is a real pleasure to deal with a medical practitioner that sees the important academic value of his or her...
Yes. D a m n graphic! The patient has to be completely under anesthesia for that procedure, otherwise his blood pressure would zoom on every less than affirmative comment during the surgery. The...

Thanks for the reminder about edits, Dave. Perhaps "Prostate Cancer" should be changed to "Prostate Issues."...
Alas, Nymox's NX-1207 has not done as well as hoped for in phase 3 trials. FYI, Nymox's stock price plummeted on that news, and has not recovered at all in the 37 days since then. ClapTheHammer is...
1. Best of luck, Chumley. 2. In today's world, "varicocele repair" does not really mean "repair." It means removal of veins leading to a malfunctioning valve, specifically, varicocelectomy. This is...
That would be terrific--and hopefully I could sign up for the treatment of my choice. :scool: However, GG have, or should have, their own data. Forums like this should not have to poll its...
1. Yes!!! If you've had the GG procedure, please let us know your results. We need solutions to BPH. 2. The editorial comment (seen at...
Thanks, Bob. Skateman...
Anyone have results, or not, using Cialis® for everyday use in connection with BPH symptoms?...
I read ClapTheHammer's comments as requests for data. First-person testimonials are wonderful. The theory seems to make sense. However, the overall objective statistics (e.g., measured reduction in...
On Nov. 19, 2014 I wrote, "Regarding my queries to doctors such as Turek, Bellman and Werthman, while I hope to receive responses, I expect to get none. Medical doctors are reticent about putting...
Hi Liamireland and Golfosca, 1. I hope your results are positive ones. 2. If you've read AND UNDERSTOOD my comments and the comments of others, you would know that many of us believe that the Gat...
I did an Internet search with the words "Thoorens" and "varicocele." While I found nothing useful that included "Thoorens," I came across that copy of an old newspaper with the advertisement for...
1. Don't be put off by a patent applicant's attempt to patent a method, process, article of manufacture, or system that turns out to not be "new." That is, even though not new, the idea may still be...
Following up on Mark Daner's insight, I checked the Internet for California doctors that engage in varicocele removal to overcome male infertility. I found one named Paul Turek. One of his web pages...
Interesting point, Mark. Is the method for fertility exactly the same as for prostate treatment? If it is exactly the same, and if American doctors are actually practicing that method, then we have...
Hi Dusab, 1. I hope your varicocele procedure is a rousing success. 2. What is the name of the Belgian interventional radiologist, and what is that radiologist's success rate? Ira...
ClapTheHammer: The editing of my post was done by me. I left nothing out. I was trying to figure out how to use the "quote" command. Martin: You are correct about acceptance of medical procedure...
I, too, think that the Gat Goren theory makes sense. However, I think ClapTheHammer is correct. The fact that US medical practitioners who could make a fortune from Gat Goren type treatments have not...
Mayoclinic.org has a brief article, from September 2012, on Kegel exercises for men. See, http://www.mayoclinic.org/kegel-exercises-for-men/art-20045074...
Happy New Year, All! Andy, thanks for the update. As you can see from comments above, a database is being created. If you have both the time and money, up-to-date blood test results might be...
"For the last several days I have been peeing like the proverbial racehorse." Congratulations, Bob. Pardon the pun--What a relief!...
Thanks, Dave. Any indication why doctors practicing in America are not performing the GG procedure?...
Michael, thanks for the funny "what the heck is going on here" initial reading. Regarding the upcoming double-blind study, it's too bad it isn't between PAE and GG. We already have loads of TURP...
Please ask Peter for it. Ira...
Are Gat and Goren at least keeping in touch with you regarding your post-Gat-Goren progress?...
Dave asked, "Should we ask [Peter] to name it something more inclusive, like "Gat-Goren, PAE and LUTS, Part 4"?" I say yes....
Thanks for the update, Martin, and for analysis, Martin and Dave. Ira...
Hi Michael, I made a similar inquiry: Dave, who had the GG procedure, posted a reply (which he has since deleted) that, if I remember correctly, answered that he believed the same procedure was used...
Martin, you wrote, "Dr. Brownstein takes 100 mg of iodine a day. If 12.5 grams of iodine is 100x the RDA, then Dr. Brownstein is taking 800x the RDA." I think you mean "12.5 mg."...
"It is unclear if they also used a sclerosant in addition to the coils. It would seem that the sclerosant would inhibit the migration of the coils." Good point, and a good question for the South...
Thanks, Frank for the mention of South Florida Vascular Consultants. There is an article here (from September 2007) about other physicians, at least in Canada, performing a procedure similar to GG:...
High Michael, You wrote, "Don't know if I can wait that long." I share that concern. A detailed discussion regarding the differences between PAE (which essentially closes off one or more arteries)...
1. Bob wrote, "I would appreciate anyone proposing any treatment to tie it in with the larger theme of how it personally has or hasn't improved their own LUTS symptoms." 2. Dave wrote, "That's...
So, are GG performing "fertility" varicocele treatments? If so, if any guy is prepared to undergo the procedure for ANY reason, could he not merely say that he is seeking to improve his fertility and...
