I ordered this book as an alternative source of information after being diagnosed with prostate cancer in late October 2006: However, it now has become my primary guide. It is well written using only natural approaches toward prostate health in clear, concise language. It is based on factual findings from hundreds of compilations & studies from the world's scientific journals over the past 35 years. And, it is updated and republished each year. Many, many references are made to such sources & studies from Harvard Medical School, Veterans Administration Minneapolis, St. Luke's Hospital NYC, Ruhr University of Germany, British Journal of Pharmacology, British Journal of Urology, National Institute of Health in Maryland, State University of NY, University Of Milan (Italy), University Of Tel Aviv (Israel), Hubei Medical University (China), and numerous others.
Before buying this book I had asked for a second opinion concerning my diagnosis and treatment options from a radiation oncologist (My urologist is a surgeon whose primary method is surgical removal of the gland). I was surprised by the radiation oncologist's list of treatment options; external radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), internal radiation therapy (brachytherapy), AND DIET/SUPPLEMENT therapy! This was a refreshing surprise to me, and the oncologist spent well over an hour going over the diet regimen (which he PERSONALLY follows). It was this revelation that I would eventually read about in Roger Mason's book "The Natural Prostate Cure". Having an oncologist relate all this to me in ADVANCE of ever reading the book only served to reinforce the information contained in its very informative 73 short pages which I read in one afternoon.
After reading a booklet "Understanding Radiation Therapy" (a 40 page booklet from The American Cancer Society), I was sick in my stomach from the seemingly 'grotesque' procedures, and the strong possibility of horrible side effects! The bottom line (from reading it): No predictions or guarantees can be made as to outcomes regarding surgical or radiation procedures! It is just too full of "maybe's, if's, possibly's & unknown's". Even with my approach of seeking a natural cure, the responsibility is mine; the choice is mine & the decision is mine! And I must say that decision MUST be an individual one, and MUST be made on an individual basis by the individual, and FOR the individual. All doctors, surgeons, oncologists & therapists should honor that decision, and stay off the patient's back! All of the foregoing is strictly MY opinion based on what I've read, seen & heard. But, the radiation oncologist visit, and Roger Mason's book "The Natural Prostate Cure" weighed positively on my decision to go the natural route. I gave it a five star rating NOT because it was lengthy and full of multiple syllable words, but because it was short, factual, science-based and made a lot of common sense!
