Arnot, Dr. Bob, The Prostate Cancer
Protection Plan: The foods, supplements and drugs that could
save your life. Could prostate cancer happen to
you? New research shows that up to 25 percent of men in
their thrties have microscopic, latent prostate cancer. By the
time a man enters his fifties, the fgure is around 40 percent. In
some men, these cancers remain dormant, but in others they can
become clinically significant tumors, sometimes at ferocious
speed. At present, nothing can prevent these latent cancers from
starting, but there is some great news. Many top researchers
believe their transition into active, even life-threatening,
tumors may be delayed or even prevented entirely. As with breast
cancer, the author has found that the foods men eat can have a
profound influence on whether or not they get clinical prostate
cancer. In this book, he tells us what these wonderous foods are
and how we can use them as part of a sensible, fun, and delicious
eating program. He bases his menus on the incredibly varied,
time-tested, and delicious cuisines from other cultures where the
incidence of prostate cancer is dramatially less than in the U.S.
And he provides clear and simple scientific explanations for his
choices, so the reader can customize his own plan and still get
the right foods with the right nutrients. With delicious recipes,
advice on eating out and on the run, stress-busting techniques,
fitness programs, a self-test for asssessing your own risk, and
other postate cancer-fighting strategies, this book offers a safe,
effective program that will not only stave off this dread killer,
but will help men lose weight, gain energy, and feel more relaxed
as well. Little, Brown and Company, www.twbookmark.com,

Bostwick, David, Gregory MacLennan
& Thayne Larson Prostate Cancer: What Every
Man-and his family-needs to know. Prostate cancer is the most
common form of cancer among American men - an estimated one out of
six men will develop it - but if detected early, it is also among
the most treatable forms of cancer. But most men - and their
families - lack the most basic information about what to do when
confronted with a diagnosis of prostate cancer. This book, written
by a team of internationally known and respected medical experts,
sets out to explain everything a man needs to know. Written under
the auspices of the American Cancer Society, the nation's leader
in cancer research, education and rehabilitation, it contains all
the most up-to-date information about the disease. Even more, it
is a patient's advocacy book, offering medical, practical,
psychological, social and emotional support. Through case
histories and anecdotes - and always with compassion - it
addresses the full range of issues that men with the disease may
face. Villard Books, 1999 ISBN 0-375-75319-2

Clapp, Larry, Prostate Health in 90
Days: without drugs or surgery. 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, homeopath, and other alternative
healing approaches. Understand what causes cancer, reverse the
cancer-causing effects, cleanse and strengthen vital organs,
enhance your sex life and virtually eliminate your chance for
disease. The prostate is that vital center from which men derive
their vitality, creative energy, 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.

cancer. Hay House 800.654.5126 or www.hayhouse.com

Kantoff, Philip
& McConnell, Malcolm, Prostate
Cancer: A family consultation. The introduction of

increase in the number of dianosed prostate cancer cases. If it
has been determined that you have prostate cancer, you and your

expert attention. However, doctors seldom have the time to access
the unique needs of every case and devise plans accordingly, and

that leaves them vulnerable. As director of genitourinary oncology
at the world-famous Dana-Fisher Cancer Institute and Harvard
Medical School, the author understands that the optimal course of
treatment for prostate cancer - surgery, radiation therapy,
cryosurgery or watchful waiting - depends on an individual's age,
overall health, and tumor condition. This compassionate book

quivalent of a complete consulation with the author, who
specializes in devising treatment programs for men who have been
dianosed with this life-changing disease. Houghton Mifflin, 1996

Vilas, Santiago, Prostate Cancer is Curable. In the US
alone, 234,460 new cases of Prostate Cancer were diagnosed in 2006
and 27,350 deaths. The book addresses a multiplicity of issues
with provacative stimuli and arguments seldom found in other
studies. Prostate misbehavior can dramatically change men and
their partners forever. It is surprising that a mature man may
never have wondered about the intricacies that make his plumbing
system work. A patient's cry "Why me?" is intrinsically senseless,
although it may be emotionally understandable. The prostate is
fickle,intrinsically dispensable and disposable, although not
replaceable. The physician-patient relationship is not a marriage.
One cannot survive without the other. This book includes comments
from over 100 Prostate Cancer patients and survivors from seven
countries. The Chronology of Events, the first historic
compilation of its kind, reveals that the patient is not alone, or
the first man to be concerned about his Prostate. Learn when and
how to request which tests and why. "I have been reading prostate
cancer material for the past six years and this book is one of the
best. It covers everything a man should know about prostate
cancer, including the two most important issues to consider before
selecting treatments: what is the actual cure rate and what
are the side effects. Every man 40+ should read it." Nelson
