If you grew up in Japan, your mother would tape an umeboshi plum to your belly button to protect against motion sickness. It works. And in China, drug addiction doctors are experimenting with an herbal belly button medicine for withdrawal symptoms. Now there's a belly button patch designed for prostate sufferers. Most men past 50 have a sufficient familiary with the acute and chronic aches, pains and urinary issues, to make them take notice when something that might be effective comes along.

The movie The Last Indian, is the true story of a canny old New Zealander, played by Anthony Hopkins, trying to set a landspeed record at the Bonneville flats on his ancient Indian motorbike. Hopkins' character keeps running to the bathroom - "the old prostate, you know." Another old Indian he meets along the way, a real live one, gives him a bitter powder to take with him for his prostate. Tastes real bad! he tells him. Apparently it worked, at least in the movie. But then I wondered what he would do when his supply ran out? How would he find the old Indian if there's a sequel?

Prostatitis and BPH are such ubiquitous disorders. Multiple symptoms and causes, and hundreds of remedies. Non-surgical treatments run the gamut from powerful alpha-bocker drugs, which can cause serious blood pressure problems, to long physical training protocols to release muscle and tendon trigger points. There are also dangerous products out there. Some of them are laced with Tadalifil (the active ingredient in Cialis). The FDA keeps getting them withdrawn, but they come out again under a different name. In case you don't know, that can be very dangerous for anyone who has heart or diabetes problems, or takes other medications.

Meantime, this new belly button patch looks like a keeper. Easy to use, a tried and tested formula of musk and herbs. That's right, musk, organic musk, the grandaddy of all aphrodisiacs, found in the most expensive perfumes. Using the same principle as with the umeboshi plum and the Chinese treatment for withdrawal symptoms. The musk and herbs are drawn across the skin by body heat. Then they follow the energy channels to exactly where they're needed. You body always know what it needs.

There are no pills to take and no procedures to undergo. This formula opens the energy channels that lead to the prostate, the sexual organs and the rest of the pelvis and also energizes and balances the whole system. The prostate pain and pressure gets relieved, the urine flow gets stronger and you can sleep through the night. Does it help sex? You bet and in a most interesting way. The feeling is subtle, a natural sense of energy and power in reserve with sronger erections and fuller orgasms.

What could be simpler than sticking on a patch and just letting the energy flow. The umeboshi plum balances out the vestibular system for motion sickness. The Prostaderm belly button patch heals and balances out the sexual system. A whole new and wonderfully holistic approach.
