New Analysis of BPH, cause of Prostrate problems

Wheels of Happiness


New Hope for prostate conditions  (Prostamend)

Most men over 40 have prostrate conditions.  Unable to control urination.   The drugs for this prescribed by Doctors and big Pharma are expensive and have severe side effect.

The author was prodded to find cure for his brother who suffered the prostrate problem during a wedding.   
He tried to analyze the cause.  It is not the DHT because the  Testosterone level of aged men is actually declining.  

The actual cause  is lack of blood supply going to the prostrate .  This causes the inflammation (the ischemia)  Now if we could improve the blood flow.

He made a concoction composed of about 40 ingredients which contained among other things:

1.  Chinese tea;
2.  Brocolli
3.  Japanese maitake mushrooms

His med is Prostamen or Prostamen.   (limited supply)

Servicing sealed bearings

Wheels of Happiness




Most people say that the disadvantage of sealed bearing is that it is disposable.  And so I thought until I read an article or YT re sealed bearings. Unless there is a wobble or looseness in the hub or concerned bearing, I think this operation is possible to save the bearing.  

It happened that two bikes both rb developed whining and other sounds at the  rear hub.  Naturally the bearings are suspect.   One had two 6802 bearings and I was able to buy only one (the last remaining unit) at P200.00 .  However this were available at Lazada for only P200.00 for ten.  Sayang.

The other bike hub had grating sound when free wheeling.  Naturally the bearing is suspect 

I did not have to have the bearing removed nor replaced.  This post simply followed the advice.

1.  Pry  off the red or blue seal cover (with the bearing installed)with a sharp pointed cutter.
2.  When the bearing becomes visible inspect for grit or rust.   Spray WD 40 or other solvent to remove rust and grit.
3.  Put low density grease or even oil for chain to have lube inside the bearing.   
4.  Reinstall the seals.   

For me the grating sound and rough rotation were solved by this operation.

Great long ride at the province

Wheels of Happiness

The ride yesterday started at 7:00 am.  But there were sporadic rain showers and we were rained out 2x and our other companions were furiously pedalling at 30+ kmh on mtb.  Whew.   It took us nearly an hour to reach the highway.  

Then another 30 minutes of riding until we reached our "guide" heiress of a mt river resort who brought some food and refreshment for us.  After 17 km or riding,  10km flat and 7 km from highway to the foot of the mountains we finally made it to the resort.  The last km was a punishing uphill climb that was maybe 15% grade.    I made to the top without tulak.    Clear water with waterfall. and sumptuous lunch

Thanks was able to make this
