I've been to Dr. Mirkin's website... I'll just be nice and say I think he knows
little about urology.

Mirkin is a complete and utter charlatan. He has been panned for
factual errors in this forum by both urologists who post here
regularly. He was discussed extensively a year ago in this forum and
thoroughly and comprehensively dismissed. It's in the archives
(although strangely I cannot find it via Dejanews, which makes me
wonder whether Mirkin's had his lawyers busy cleaning up the record).
Perhaps the archive accessible via the prostatitis site still has the
discussion about Mirkin (although the search function there seems to
be out of order too).

You say dr. mirkin knows a little about urology. So what do you suggest a man
who has burning on urination, boggy prostate but nothing grows in his
cultures...what treatment should he do?
Do you agree with mirkin about high dose long term antibiotics?
Or is everything a contaminant in our cultures and biopsies and keep giving us
all cardura or floxin?
Do you think mycoplasma is a factor in at least some cases?
What is your theory???
Mike H speaks of you very highly but I do not know your theories or treatment
regiment. Personally I would rather die trying than sitting around waiting for
a cure from the nih clinics.

never get funding or any media coverage which equals $ for a cure. Pussies like
you are why we are in this situation. If guys 50 years ago spoke up we would'nt
need this sight.
Continue hiding and we will all remain hiden and cureless.
You coward

I was off antibiotics for 1 month and on the first day they did a partial
drainage that hurt like hell with no anti-b's.
3 more days like this with increased pressure each day. The fourth day was a
killer and the cultures showed I should take minocin.
2 days off drainage but taking the minocin. 4 days latter and 2 more drainages
it happened!!!
I was 99$ better and I was so fucking happy you cannot even imagine. I asked
the doc if finally after a year could I celebrate with a beer. He said have as
many as you want don't worry it won't affect you. So I did and by the next day
I could'nt even piss. A cyst grew on my left epididimis (painful) and I was
devistated. I stayed for 3 more months and nothing has worked since then.
Ugh!!!
If you go do not drink at all.
I recomend it if you limit it to 2-3 weeks only!!! There is no better care in
the world and I am talking about feliciano jr. not his dad.
Good luck

Ok, fair enough -- you object to my anonymity and so I object to
yours. After all, you ARE posting from an AOL account (everyone knows
they are virtually anonymous). So, you go first: post your real name,
your real street address and telephone number. Then I'll post mine.
I'll call your bluff any day. Twerp.

I believe I said he knows little about urology (a slight but important difference
in the language).

I can not offer treatment advice over the internet. This has to be individualized
to each individual. Many have found benefit with quercetin...

Is he for them or against them? I assume he suggests taking them, and I probably
don't agree with him if that's the case.

I don't understand your question.

Maybe, but I don't think it's a major factor for most men.

Do I only get _one_ theory? I've said this before, but realize you may be new to
the group. I believe that CPPS is a syndrome that probably has several different
etiologies and isn't the same in every man. Many of the theories kicked around
are rational and need exploration. Immune dysfunction/autoimmunity, pelvic floor
muscle dysfunction, post-infectious inflammation, covert infection, unculturable
infection...one could go on and on but those are all still "possibles" and one
guy's CPPS may be one of these, and the next another...who knows. I didn't even
mention interstitial cystitis or a variant thereof...I don't have the magical
answers, as noone does.

My website describes how I generally approach patients initially. I try and have
patients learn as much on their own, and I will help them with directing their own
treatment. As long as therapy is rational and safe, then I will help.
Best of luck!
