I’m really torn. A trip to Greece is not feasible at this time. A trip to AZ to this clinic is still a challenge, but more practical.
I spoke with the doctor from the center, the last 2 nights after his workdays. Answered my questions frankly. Says that if, in fact I have prostatitis (can’t diagnose over the phone although symptoms match), then curing the E.D. is a possibility.
Their website is pretty outdated/static, but essentially, the story goes that a guy got treatment for his prostatitis at the Manila center and was so thankful that he sponsored the creation of this AZ center. He recruited a doc (but not a urologist) in Dr. Polacheck who trained with Dr. Feliciano in Manila. So, they don’t function as a full-service urological center, fyi. They don’t really issue ultrasounds (unless you want them to commission it from the hospital). They specialize in these prostate massages/drainages & antibiotic administration. And then they teach you how (and/or a willing partner) to self-massage to keep up treatment. Sounds crazy!
Boston reported initial success using this treatment, but then still lingered around this board (I PM’d him, haven’t heard back). It sounded like he could have sex after having prostate manipulation, but I don’t know how bad his E.D. was to begin with. And I’m not sure what his outstanding symptoms are (other than not being absolutely 100%). It seems as if he gave up on the antibiotics and self-treatments at some point.
Anyways, it takes a week for them to get accurate cultured results from the labs at Carondelet St. Mary’s Hospital. The antibiotics utilized are specific to the bacteria that you have. They’ve seen staph, strep, e. coli, chlamydia, everything under the sun.
