Editorial Review:

Do you feel wasted? -- Get It Out!

Passing a kidney stone is considered one of the most painful experiences the human body can endure. Diverticulitis causes a stabbing pain in the belly, and can lead to internal bleeding, infection and death. Prostate enlargement can torment a man day and night, just as menopausal hot flashes, sweats and imbalances can destroy a woman's quality of life. Cervical dysplasia and yeast infections plague young women, who must now also fear cervical cancer. And the medical industry says they don't know the cause of any of these conditions, but they can schedule you for regular check-ups, sell you drugs, and perform surgery when needed. Millions of people suffer from one or more of these problems.

Get It Out! explores this wasteland of disease, explaining in clear, concise language how the body works, and how our private lifestyles can get in the way of its proper functioning. Singer and Grismaijer, the husband-and-wife medical anthropologist team internationally acclaimed for their revolutionary book, Dressed To Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras (Avery, NY 1995), hold nothing back in this insightful, entertaining, and unique book that explains how our cultural taboos and secrets can be our downfall.

Get It Out! is your answer to feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and revitalized. At last, you can prevent and cure the diseases that plague our culture. You need never feel wasted again.

Editorial Review:

At age fifty-three, Daniel J. Goldstone saw his life take a drastic turn when he was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. Through holistic medicine, Goldstone managed to overcome his illness, but not before going through a dramatic, challenging journey that he will never forget for the rest of his life.

In Advanced Prostate Cancer and Me, Goldstone offers the reader a close-up look at his titanic tussle against his illness, weaving a poignant, riveting tapestry that vividly unravels in a unique inspirational memoir.

The author's journey started in June 2005, when his PSA was measured at 23.5 with a Gleason of 7. All twelve cores of the biopsy had cancer, two up to 75%. Goldstone said he knew action had to be taken, but he didn't know which way to go.

Based on the current trend in medicine, Goldstone decided to go the holistic route. His research concluded that he had a ninety-five percent probability of reoccurrence. Based on his use of holistic treatment, in conjunction with traditional treatment, the author got tremendous results. Sadly, nine months after treatment, all signs indicated that Goldstone's cancer has come back.

One day, by some miracle, the author discovered a new holistic formula, and -- over the next fourteen months -- he was able to reverse and eliminate his prostate cancer. "If this book helps one person beat cancer and live a normal life, my effort was worth it.", says the author. "It's been over two years since I was diagnosed and have beaten the odds. In September of 2007, my PSA results were 0.82 ng/ml. I went from being in the significantly advanced stages to being in the tremendously low stage. On March 20, 2008, my PSA reduced 40 percent from the previous test to 0.55 ng/ml. For the 6th straight time my PSA has reduced over a 20 month period with my new holistic formula. My PSA continues to demonstrate a negative velocity."

A powerful true story of and the unlimited power of the human spirit, Advanced Prostate Cancer and Me is one unforgettable reading experience.

Handbook for a revolution in prostate cancer treatment 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

For any man facing prostate cancer, this book should be one of the first read. The possibility of having the pain of prostate surgery replaced by a simple and relatively pain free freezing process is tremendously exciting. The additional benefits of retaining continence and erectile function are also very compelling. Good job Dr. Onik for advancing the cause of medical treatment for men everywhere.

This is by far the most informative book I have ever read 5 out of 5 stars.
17 of 17 people found this review helpful.

Blaivas does something here that no other urologist has ever done. He has written a book that answers any and every question, but he has written it in a way that is easy to understand. He even intertwines humor, so rare in a informational medical book. His compassion, understanding, and extensive knowledge far surpassed my expectations. If you have even thought about buying this book, then do it. It will help.

Sincerely, Matthew Wilkin

author's review 5 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

Hello friends,

I've written Smart Medicine for a Healthy Prostate for men since most men, if they live long enough, will be affected by prostate disease; and women, since women also need to know how to help their loved ones prevent and treat prostate disease. To put matters in perspective, prostate cancer - the leading cause of cancer in men - begins as early as puberty and affects nearly every man if he lives long enough. Prostate enlargement, another common condition, affects half the men over the age of sixty, one third of whom need treatment. Finally, prostatitis accounts for more than two million doctor visits yearly. In fact, prostatitis is the most frequent reason that men under the age of fifty see a urologist.

That's the bad news. Now for the good news. Men don't have to become one of these statistics. Based upon information that I've gathered from scientific research, coupled with over twenty years of personal experience as a physician, urologic surgeon, and practitioner of conventional and alternative medicine, Smart Medicine for a Healthy Prostate will help men blessed with a healthy prostate keep it that way, and teach men challenged with prostate disease how to overcome it.

The book is organized into four chapters.

v The first chapter gives an overview of the prostate and pertinent male anatomy.
v Each succeeding chapter guides readers through a different prostate disease. The first half of each chapter provides information about the natural history, evaluation, and state-of-the-art conventional therapies for the condition.
v The second half of each chapter provides proven alternative therapies and teaches readers how to apply them.
v The appendices contain a concise overview of nutritional and herbal supplements and the resource section provides additional valuable information.

I hope you enjoy reading my book. May you be blessed with abundant health and happiness.

Dr. McClure

Editorial Review:

Here is a reference designed to help men and those who care about them treat and prevent the most common prostate disorders, including enlargement, cancer, and prostatitis. In this book, urologist Mark McClure shares his expertise in complementary medicine, providing information about the latest, most effective natural and conventional treatments available, such as herbal and nutritional supplements, homeopathy, drug therapy, surgery, and more.

With Smart Medicine for a Healthy Prostate, men of all ages can arm themselves with the knowledge necessary to take charge of their prostate health.

This book tells what to expect during a typical prostate checkup. It discusses the PSA screening test. It explains the three common prostate disorders and the symptoms that accompany each and the treatment options.
To determine the best form of treatment, it identifies factors to consider and questions to ask your doctor. There is a chapter on potential side effects of prostate cancer treatment and how to manage those. It gives ways (diet and exercise) to reduce the risk of getting prostate disease.

My Favorite Prostate Cancer Info Book 4 out of 5 stars.
13 of 13 people found this review helpful.

I was introduced to this book after I had had a radical psostatectomy and spent countless hours researcing the internet. I wish I could have read it early on in my diagnosis and treatment. The book is well organized, clearly written in terms that a layman can readily understand. The layout and chapter arrangement is logical and there is even an appendix listing useful internet web sites.

A "Must Have" Working Guide for all men over 50! 5 out of 5 stars.
6 of 6 people found this review helpful.

This is a wonderful resource for all men aged 50 and over, whether or not you have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. It is organized in a very logical format, from normal male anatomy and physiology to the problems men have which are "benign" and then goes into the entire work-up, diagnosis, treatment and survival options for men with prostate cancer. It has an unbelievable index and is filled with useful information for finding a physician that will listen to your needs and wishes. I especially liked the chapter on diet and nutrition. The entire book is easy to read and understand and is surprisingly positive and hopeful. I was fortunate to receive this book from my doctor, but I am buying and recommending them for everyone I know, now.

A disservice 1 out of 5 stars.
12 of 13 people found this review helpful.

It's unfortunate this book is so one-sided, and so reflective of a person who obviously has lived a very sheltered life. While there is useful information in it, it is too colored by the author's personal fears and worries. I'm a survivor of this surgery, and doing quite well after one year. As a matter of fact, 3 days after surgery I was walking, slowly, 3.5 miles around the block, and I'm a certified couch potato. Also, my cancer was quite well along, but still within the prostate capsule, thank heavens. There are other books by much more qualified people available to the man diagnosed with prostate cancer. It is up to the individual to find them (it's not hard, try to get a few, hopefully written by doctors), read them and make informed decisions. The best of care is available in a lot of places in this country. No need to let a frightened bunny influence your personal decisions, or scare you into frantic searching for help. It's part of life, for heaven's sake. Again, this book is a disservice to men seeking unbiased, informed, rational information.

Editorial Review:

Although prostate cancer is a disease that strikes nearly 200,000 men every year, it is a disease that has been shrouded in silence, in part because it strikes at the very core of masculine identity. But in Man to Man, bestselling author Michael Korda breaks that silence, turning the story of his illness and recovery into a candid and instructive book that speaks not only to every man and woman whose life has been touched by prostate cancer but to everyone who lives in fear of it.

With unsparing frankness, Korda describes how he survived the ordeal of prostate surgery and its painful and humiliating aftereffects. He tells us how tumors are graded, evaluates different treatments, and makes sense of prostate cancer's mystifying "numbers." Practical, immensely readable, filled with information, and, above all, hopeful, Man to Man is literally a life-saver.
