Don’t let them cut or fry your prostate! This proven, patient-tested program can restore vigorous health in 90 days. Each year, 40,000 American men have their prostates surgically removed or burned with radiation, often within 48 hours of cancer diagnosis. While doing so may eliminate an immediate problem, it will result in reduced quality of life, often including impotence and incontinence. And, unfortunately, surgery and radiation don’t work as well as claimed. Often the cancer recurs—35% require retreatment within five years. This book will teach you how to: · STOP PROSTATE TROUBLE IN ITS TRACKS using nutrition, massage, herbs, homeopathy, and other alternative healing approaches. · UNDERSTAND WHAT CAUSES CANCER, including toxins from your diet, drugs, the environment, pesticides, and parasites—all relatively easy to change. · REVERSE THE CANCER-CAUSING EFFECTS of dental toxins from hidden infections, root canals, and the 50% mercury content in silver-amalgam fillings. · CLEANSE AND STRENGTHEN VITAL ORGANS, including your colon and prostate. · ENHANCE YOUR SEX LIFE and become physically and mentally stronger. · VIRTUALLY ELIMINATE YOUR CHANCE FOR DISEASE by balancing your pH. The prostate is that vital center from which men derive their vitality, creativeenergy, and sexual drive. Without it, overall health and quality of life is severely diminished. That’s why it’s important to take care of your prostate now, before trouble begins. Waiting for symptoms may be waiting too long. Often there are no warning signs, even in cases of advanced cancer.

What foods should you eat if you want to keep your prostate healthy? How does sexual activity affect the health of your prostate? What are ways you can prevent prostate cancer? What should African-American men know about prostate cancer? What are the best alternatives to radiation and surgery in treating prostate cancer? What are the symptoms of an unhealthy prostate? These are some of the many important questions that are answered by Dr. Daniel W. Nixon, one of America's premier cancer research institute leaders, and Dr. Max Gomez, the charismatic health commentator whose reports are aired on NBC television stations nationwide. The authors not only provide indispensable guidance in cancer prevention but also offer a dynamic, new noninvasive treatment of prostate cancer. Packed with information, The Prostate Health Program explains in clear, simple language the link between obesity and prostate cancer, the difference between an enlarged prostate and a diseased one, the causes of frequent urination and pain, and the specific prostate problems pertaining to gay men. Drs. Nixon and Gomez offer a user-friendly plan of diet, exercise, and behavioral change that men can easily incorporate into their lives. The authors explain why aggressive treatment, such as radiation and surgery, is often unnecessary, less effective, and more dangerous -- often leaving men incontinent and impotent -- than other treatments. The cornerstones of this unique program are the Prostate Health Pyramid and the Transition Diet, both of which were created specifically for this book and are the ultimate tools in prostate cancer prevention, control, and treatment. First, the foods that protect the health of the prostate are identified; then, food changes are introduced slowly for more effective and long-lasting reform of eating habits. Best of all, quick and easy recipes created by chefs at the Culinary Institute of America provide a menu that is healthy and delicious. With its combination of cutting-edge research and highly respected, world-renowned authors, The Prostate Health Program is the definitive defense against a deadly disease.
