User Reviews for pomegranate

had a chd, my chest pain (angina) gone after three months of drinking 3 oz of pure pomegranate juice. im now drinking it for a year and the chest pain never comes back.

So I didn't begin using pomegranate by choice.After extensive research I determined Proton Therapy was the safest treatment for my prostate cancer but my insurance(CIGNA)repeatedly refused to cover it even after 3 different tries.During my research I found that they were doing clinical trials across the country and that I could get the 1000mg capsules from POM,the major supplier in California.Before starting my PSA level went from 3 to 6 to 9 to 12 over an 18 mo period.While taking them it stuck at 13 for the next 18 mos.The Government forced them to stop selling the capsules in fall of 2016 and men next PSA test shot up to 15.5 in January.I just finally found another supplier with a similar product and am anxious to see my next test results in spring.Read More Read Less

11 year prostate cancer survivor had surgery then 5 years later salvage radiation then two years later hormone therapy. I have Bio Chemical Recurrence with no metastasis. Doubling time ( the length of time the PSA doubles) determines the aggressiveness of the cancer. After each treatment my PSA would go up with doubling time of 4 months. It was always 0, .3, .6, 1.2 then a treatment. My blood tests are at 4 month intervals. After hormone therapy it was less than .1 for two years then started going up again. It went less than .1 to .3 in 4 months, then .6 4 months later (doubled). I had heard about a report saying that pomegranate juice could possibly slow down the doubling time (aggressiveness) so when my PSA hit .6 I started drinking about 12 oz. of a pomegranate juice cocktail made by Langers. It is 20% pomegranate juice per 8 oz. (has some sugar) every night. My next blood est PSA was 1.0 (didn't double in 4 months) next blood test 4 months later 1.4, next 4 month test 1.9 that is where I am as of today 12/23/2016. Although not proven it has slowed my doubling time from 4 months to about 10 months. I believe in it. It may not work for every one but so far it has helped me. I firmly believe more research needs to be done on his subject.Read More Read Less

For diarrhea: I give 60-90ml to my children and spouse whenever symptoms arise, whether due to stomach flu, antibiotic use, nerves or food poison. Stops the flow and the urge within 15 minutes to half hour. Can't give my small children Imodium and my spouse, father and I used to max out on Imodium after just a few hours. Not very helpful if you have diarrhea more than 4 times a day. Pomegranate truly works and there's not really a max dose. Also tastes good. Take a swig of it after every loose stool. It works wonders. I recommend it to all my customers who come in with diarrhea complaint. Did I mention I'm a pharmacist?Read More Read Less

Taking for enlarged prostate (BPH), although I do now have biopsy dx of prostate ca. Was recommended to me for symptoms of BPH (urgency, necessity to go overnight). Was taking Flomax before beginning pomegranate capsules. Since beginning, PSA has dropped below 4 and BPH symptoms have moderated somewhat more than on Flomax alone.

I accidentally discovered that Pomegranate juice reduces my plantar fascitis. the pain is no longer excruciating and often just a dull ache or not noticeable at all I drink about 2 or 3 ounces day but because it's very expensive, I don't drink much more. I buy trader Joe organic pomegranate juice or any pomegranate 100% juice without additives, preservatives,GMOs Or added sugars. The pain subsided in 2 to 3 days. Naproxen sodium etc was not working for me. I prefer homeopathic cures and I was using the pomegranate juice for something Else.Read More Read Less

I was put on Plavix & Aspirin for plugged carotid -2009, causing massive nose bleeds and plaque caused stroke. carotid removed,cleaned,& replaced. I switched to Pomella. Recovered from stroke in 6-8 months. Now, still on 800mg Pom 5 years later: artery plaque shows normal w/2 very small exceptions, B.P. down to normal, E.D. 90% gone! Life is good!

I have taken pomegranate. It "does" eleviate chest pressure, and I breath better. Whether the chest pressure is caused by pulmonary/ bronchiole factors or digestive factors, is uncertain because I have both conditions.

I have been drinking pomegranate juice since Spring of 2006. I found studies documenting pomegranate's effect on reducing coronary and other arterial blockages, plus its ability to improve function of good cholesterol, and action as a strong anti-oxidant, all on the website of the National Institute of Health (United States). I was at the time recovering from bypass on all three main coronary arteries, and had a dozen other blockages that were inoperable. I use a treadmill and rowing machine to exercise, lift weights, and row on the water and play hours of volleyball ever week. I attribute a lareg part of my recovery to pomegranate effects on my arteries. I drink both Pom Wonderful Pomegranate Juice, and Langer's 100% Pomegranate Juice.Read More Read Less

I have been taking concentrated Pomegranite juice (1 Ounce) daily for a few years now. I had a heart attack, two coronary arteries 80% blocked and had a stent inserted into one of them and did nothing to the other. The last time I had my blood flow checked after using the pomegranate juice for a cpl years the artery they stented had less blood flow than the one they did nothing to...lol I whole heartedly recommend pomegranate juice for clogged arteries. I also take magnesium, folic acid, B3, D3 and cayenne pills. I quit using all the blood thinners, statins, blood pressure meds 9 months after my heart attack and have treated myself with the above items and have been problem free for over 8 years. Anyone taking those drugs should read the side effects. I was weak and fatigued all the time on them. Since I read up and began self medicating I feel I have been rejuvenated. I would recommend pomegranate and cayenne pills to anyone experiencing clogged artery's. The other things are for heart health. Recently I have also began using tart cherry juice as it also is an excellent inflammation fighter. Inflammation is the root cause of 90% of the ailments we as humans experience and pomegranate juice and tart cherry are two of the best inflammation fighters out there. Both are excellent anti-oxidants! Cayenne is an excellent plaque remover. The first three years after my heart attack I took it daily (3 times) and then moved to once a week. Back then when I experienced chest pain I would again take it daily and within a week I was fine. I seldom have any chest pain due to my heart anymore and believe when I do it is something else entirely as heartburn. Oh yeah, eating celery daily works great to lower blood pressure also! Its great with peanut butter which is heart friendly fats also...grin!Read More Read Less

Started drinking 1 oz. of POM pomegranate juice (no other juice mixed in) each morning about 2 weeks ago to see if it would help with ED. Already my morning erections are stronger and last longer. I am going to try drinking it 2x/day and see if that works even better. (By the way.. If you write a review, it is great if you take the time to give all details/specifics of what you have tried.) I have switched all of my supplements to instead, eating the foods that contain the supplement naturally. I am not concerned with the lower dose as I feel the superior absorption of natural food vitamins/etc. gives me even more in my system than pills.Read More Read Less

I was able to run better after a month of use

I have been on bp's for 20 years. I have been taking the Expensive POM juice (it really hits my grocery budget ). Last week, My Doc (after lowering my bp dose for 3 months) he took me off my BP completely! The side effect? Pom Wonderful is expensive. Try to drink 4 oz a day at a minimum. But I stand by it and worth a try. If you are on blood thinners, ask your DR. first... as I understand this can also have an effect. Not an overnight cure, but I do believe it is a good natural juice.

I HAVE A BAD KNEE JOINT AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT I'VE TAKEN 13 DAYS ONE CAPSUL AND I HAVE NO PAIN FOR THREE DAYS NOW.THANK YOU, HOPE IT KEEPS WORKING.
