Don’t let them cut or fry your prostate! This proven, patient-tested program can restore vigorous prostate health in just 90 days. “This book is a must-read for anyone who has cancer of the prostate or wishes to maintain optimal prostate health. It provides the reader with a road map for the latest cutting-edge technologies in medicine.”— MICHAEL GALITZER, M.D., THE AMERICAN HEALTH INSTITUTE 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 PROSTATAE 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, 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 health now, before trouble begins. Waiting for symptoms may be waiting too long. Often there are no warning signs, even in cases of advanced cancer.
