men with past or present prostate problems to do testamonial for my new book

Dear Dave, my intention in writing this book was and is to help men not hurt them by delaying treatment. I do not tell men what to do but just give them information so they can make the best decision for themselves. It all started when a friend of myne got a call on the golf course from his docotr who said your PSA shot up and you might have prostate cancer.  My Buddy immediately went into a state of fear and panic. He flew to the Mayo clinic and a doctor there told him that he should have a biopsy immediately and that if it came back positive that he would then decide what to do with his prostate - the options included a radical prostatectomy.

My, friend who fortunately has money, wanted other opinions so he started researching other doctors to get 2nd, 3rd, and 4th opinions and I decided to help him by reading about options. I read books mostly written by Medical doctors. I found that there were quite a few books written by doctors that were using natural treatments as preventative measures and also these methods as treatments for different prostate diseases including cancer.  These doctors are not "nut cases" but have had success with alternative an natural methods - They also use traditional medical treatments and methods when they feel they are necessary. 

Using natural methods does not rule out other the use of tratitional medical methods. In fact most of the MD's who authored the material I read stated that if a patient opts to use tradirtional methods he should use the natural methods in conjunction with the medical because the natural helps strengthen the body in the recovery period and can then help prevent return of the problem.  So using natural does not exclude using medical - they can work together.

Also my book states that any of the methods mentioned in the book should only be used with permission form their doctor.  My book suggests that men should find a licensed medical doctor that he feels comfortable with before starting treatment of any kind.

My intention was to help my friend by giving him the side of the prostate diesease equation that most men have a hard time finding.  In conclusion my buddy found a well known urologist in Los Angeles who who said don't let any body touch your prostate until we try some alternative methods in the "watch and wait" period. Since my buddy has been using natural methods with his docotrs blessings and supervision,his PSA has come down and he is feeling great, and his life is good.  He gets checked every 3 months.

I sincerely wish that you heal to a condition of perfect health and that you enjoy your life to the fullest.  If you would like a copy of my book when I finsh it I will be happy to send  one to you free on any charge.  All of the information in my book can only help a man become more healthy and live longer,  Sincerely book author

Right on swimm. It is believed that our bodies -immune system- are constantly finding and destroying cancer cells. So lets help our body do it's job so we can enjoy a healthy and happy life. Thanks swimm.

Book author:

It seems there are two different concepts at work here:

- soliciting forum participants to help with your book

- the actual slant of your POV (and, I assume your book)

With respect to the former, and not to add to the job of the moderators, but I think it might have been a better idea to approach the mods for help first to see if the forum is an appropriate place for this. When I read your post, I was skeptical as to the motive, and I checked your post count, and then seeing that it was "1", I ignored the post entirely. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's just my .02

i'm not sure if my husband would do this but i would like to ask some questions if no one minds. first, off topic does anyone know why everytime i try to go into the chat room it keeps coming back technical difficulties trying to work on i'm new to this site.  not sure if i'm logging on okay but anxious to talk about my husbands cancer as it is advanced w/ mets throughout body. really need to ask questions.  we both believe in alternative medicine just hard to find a doctor who will work with us. we are from timmins which is in northern ontario, canada and limited for funds so travel is out. i use any supplements that don't interact with his meds. i also have him on magnosteen which is a combination of goji juice, pomogranate juice and magnosteen juice.  he has just had another strong dose of radiation for his upper spine.  area covered was 10 inches long and almost 2 inches wide.  it's been 1 1/2 weeks now and he is still throwing up, hurts, and his fatigue is unbelievable. one hour up and he is wiped. they told us to expect this but didn't think it would be so bad. if there was anything else we could do (naturally) we would. i think that any info anyone can give to your book that would help others it worth doing. sounds like you want to do this for the right reasons (only if it's to help others and not for profit) your friend is extremely lucky to have been financially able to go where he wanted to get the best help. a lot of us aren't so lucky. it's said that cancer is a rich man's disease. with what it costs to get drugs and supplements that person was right.  anyway sorry for getting off topic and good luck with your book.  again, if anyone reads this please let lifeline know what she's doing wrong so i can chat. i really need help for my husband.  thanks everyone.
