Something everyone has the power to do is reduce your cancer risk, and this book will show you just how easy it is to do it. Each year, over a million people in the United States alone hear the words no one ever wants to hear: You have cancer. But what if there was a way for fewer people to hear these words? One of the biggest myths regarding cancer is that it’s mostly genetic - meaning that you have no control over whether you get it. While genetics do have an impact, the truth is that your lifestyle and environment play the major role. Physician and Chief Medical Offer of WebMD John Whyte, MD, MPH, shares straightforward information and equips you with strategies to help you on a journey to better health. In Take Control of Your Cancer Risk, Dr. Whyte provides helpful tips including: assessing your cancer risk knowing which screenings you need, and when learning the role food, exercise, and sleep play understanding the relationship between stress and cancer Take Control of Your Cancer Risk is filled with practical advice that empowers you to really take control of our health.

The book is sure to become for prostate health what Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book has been for breast health--the book that everyone will want to read.For the 20 million men who are currently coping with prostate health issues in the U.S., and for the 200,000 diagnosed with prostate cancer every year, The Whole Life Prostate Book is the best go-to resource for everything patients and their families need to know to survive and thrive. Lifestyle choices--diet, exercise, and health maintenance--can defy prostate cancer; according to Dr. Carter, it's never too late, or too early, to start following his preventive program. Director of Adult Urology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and a world-renowned expert in the diagnosis and treatment of prostate disease, Dr. H. Ballentine Carter has packed this book with wisdom gleaned from his many years in the field.

"This book is a useful source of information to help you take responsibility for the health of your prostate. It gives details of dietary and other lifestyle measures to prevent diseases of the prostate and covers both conventional and natural treatments. I found it very comprehensive." Doctor Andrew Weil, M.D. The problem with conventional prostate treatments is that they attack the symptoms of prostate disease, downplay their side-effects, and do nothing to eradicate the underlying causes of prostate disease and prostate cancer. What this means to you is simple: you get all the risks of controversial medical procedures and no long term benefits. Something is terribly wrong with our focus. We concern ourselves with the symptoms of prostate conditions. We ignore the causes, which are mostly avoidable. Doesn't it make more sense to treat the causes? Instead of concentrating on the conditions that are treated aggressively as an assault on the body, your prostate problems can be prevented and reduced. Men's natural health depends on natural, not dangerous, prostate treatments and a healthy prostate diet. Do not believe doctors who downplay the side effects of proven toxic prostate drugs, biopsies, prostate cancer surgeries, or radiating or poisoning the body. You can't overpower the body without consequences. Many modern day medical prostate treatments are as primitive from a holistic point of view as the practice of blood-letting of prior centuries is to us today. Incontinence and wearing diapers or saying bye-bye to good sex due to impotence are just some of the side effects of modern prostate treatments. Prostate Health Is In Your Hands But you can reverse the conditions of prostate disease without these side effects. You can strengthen your body rather than weaken it through conventional invasive techniques. You can regain your prostate health. Wise up! Use your prostate condition as a wake-up call to get a healthy prostate gland. Men's sex health depends on the health of your prostate gland. You can reverse a chronic prostate problem by changing your lifestyle. I did it and I will show you how to do it for yourself. You will be far stronger and healthier. You will have the benefits of a vital prostate to nurture you for many years of dynamic and vital health. Prostate cancer, prostatitis and BPH enlarged prostates are names for prostate symptoms caused by an unhealthy prostate. It begs the questions: What causes an unhealthy prostate gland and prostate cancer? The author examines the conventional medical prostate treatments and discusses their risks so you can make an informed decision. This book will explain how to cure your prostate problem naturally-without the devastating side effects of conventional medical treatments. Ron Bazar, a Harvard MBA and natural health entrepreneur over four decades, at age 55, experienced sudden complete urinary retention (inability to urinate), and was diagnosed with BPH, an enlarged prostate. He was scheduled twice for emergency surgery but both times declined. It took him over seven years to figure out how to heal his prostate naturally without conventional surgeries. He saw top practitioners of all kinds diligently following their advice but to no avail and tried anything he could think might help with no success until he finally discovered solutions that had eluded them all. He shares his insights and unique perspective that will assist you in a much shorter time frame following his guidelines. His roadmap will empower you to succeed no matter which kind of prostate disease you face. Your prostate health is in your hands.

A practical, integrative guide to men's prostate health, including holistic therapies for prostate cancer, BPH, prostatitis, and bladder function. Foreword by Dr. Geo Espinosa, author of the best-selling book Thrive Don't Only Survive: Dr. Geo's Guide to Living Your Best Life Before & After Prostate Cancer For all its many important functions, the prostate gland can become a health curse to many men, young and old. Common prostate conditions include: benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, prostatitis, testosterone deficiency, and erectile dysfunction. While conventional therapies exist for all these conditions, scientific studies have demonstrated that a comprehensive, integrative, or holistic approach to healing can dramatically reduce risk and/or decrease negative side effects and symptoms. Mark Stengler, N.M.D., draws upon his over 25 years of expertise in naturopathic medicine and holistic hormone therapies to provide a comprehensive approach to optimal prostate health, including a focus on bladder function, hormone balance, and a thorough exploration of prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment options, and holistic support. By thoroughly addressing these key aspects of the genitourinary system, you will be able to discover optimal prostate health and functionality.

Prostate cancer is by far the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of death due to cancer. It comprises a mixed group of tumours displaying varying clinical behaviour: while some have a very aggressive course, others are rather indolent. Prevention of prostate cancer and discrimination between aggressive and indolent forms are important clinical goals and the acquisition of significant new evidence on means of achieving these aims makes this book particularly timely. A wide range of topics are covered by leading authorities in the field. The biology and natural history of prostate cancer are reviewed and the role of lifestyle and dietary factors, assessed. Detailed attention is paid to risk prediction biomarkers and to the role of novel high-throughput nucleic acid-based technologies in improving risk prediction and thereby allowing tailored approaches to cancer prevention. Potential means of chemoprevention of prostate cancer are also reviewed in depth, covering the very positive new data on the impact of aspirin as well as evidence regarding 5α-reductase inhibitors, DFMO and lycopene. Guidance is provided on the differentiation of aggressive from indolent disease and the policy and research implications of recent findings are examined. This book will be of interest to both clinicians and researchers.

The purpose of this book is to provide a contemporary overview of the causes and consequences of prostate cancer from a cellular and genetic perspective. Written by experts in the fields of epidemiology, toxicology, cell biology, genetics, genomics, cell-cell interactions, cell signaling, hormone signaling, and transcriptional regulation, the text covers aspects of prostate cancer from disease initiation to metastasis. Chapters explore in depth the cells of origin for prostate cancer, its genomic subtypes, neural transcription factors in disease progression, epigenetic regulation of chromatin, and many other topics. This book distinguishes itself from other texts on prostate cancer by its focus on cellular and genetic mechanisms, as opposed to clinical diagnosis and management. As a result, this book will be of broad interest to basic and translational scientists with familiarity of these topics, as well as to trainees at earlier stages of their research careers.
