The Prostate Cancer Protection Plan: The Foods, Supplements, and Drugs That Could Save Your Life
by Robert ArnotProstate cancer kills 37,000 men each year. Could it happen to you? New research shows that up to 25 percent of men in their thirties have microscopic, latent cancer. By their fifties, the figure is up to 40 percent. In some men, these cancers remain dormant; in others, they become clinically significant tumors. At present, nothing can stop these latent cancers from forming, but many top researchers believe their transition into tumors may be delayed or even prevented. Here, Dr. Arnot tells us what foods can have a profound influence on that process, and how we can use them as part of a sensible and delicious eating program.
Prostate Health in 90 Days: Without Drugs Or Surgery
by Larry ClappDr. Larry Clapp was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1990.

Today, cancer-free, he continues his research while helping others using nutrition, massage, herbs, homeopathy, and other alternatives.
The Prostate Health Program
by The Reference Works Daniel Nixon Max GomezWhat foods should you eat if you want to keep your prostate healthy? How does sexual activity affect the health of your prostate? What are ways you can prevent prostate cancer? What should African-American men know about prostate cancer? What are the best alternatives to radiation and surgery in treating prostate cancer? What are the symptoms of an unhealthy prostate? These are some of the many important questions that are answered by Dr. Daniel W. Nixon, one of America's premier cancer research institute leaders, and Dr. Max Gomez, the charismatic health commentator whose reports are aired on NBC television stations nationwide. The authors not only provide indispensable guidance in cancer prevention but also offer a dynamic, new noninvasive treatment of prostate cancer. Packed with information, The Prostate Health Program explains in clear, simple language the link between obesity and prostate cancer, the difference between an enlarged prostate and a diseased one, the causes of frequent urination and pain, and the specific prostate problems pertaining to gay men. Drs. Nixon and Gomez offer a user-friendly plan of diet, exercise, and behavioral change that men can easily incorporate into their lives. The authors explain why aggressive treatment, such as radiation and surgery, is often unnecessary, less effective, and more dangerous -- often leaving men incontinent and impotent -- than other treatments. The cornerstones of this unique program are the Prostate Health Pyramid and the Transition Diet, both of which were created specifically for this book and are the ultimate tools in prostate cancer prevention, control, and treatment. First, the foods that protect the health of the prostate are identified; then, food changes are introduced slowly for more effective and long-lasting reform of eating habits. Best of all, quick and easy recipes created by chefs at the Culinary Institute of America provide a menu that is healthy and delicious. With its combination of cutting-edge research and highly respected, world- renowned authors, The Prostate Health Program is the definitive defense against a deadly disease.
The Prostate Monologues: What Every Man Can Learn from My Humbling, Confusing, and Sometimes Comical Batt le With Prostate Cancer
by Jack McCallumRecently diagnosed with prostate cancer and approaching surgery, Jack McCallum wanted to tackle the confusion, misconceptions, and conflicting medical advice that so many men struggle with when thinking about the disease. So he got to work writing The Prostate Monologues.Through the lens of his own experience, McCallum attacks the nitty-gritty questions about prostate cancer that men think about (but may be too bashful to ask their doctors) with honesty and humor. For example, "When is it safe to attempt intercourse, or at least, self-inflicted orgasm?" Or, if you have surgery, "What's it like the first time you shop for adult diapers?" With wry humor, McCallum decodes the sometimes-confusing jargon of medical professionals so that it is understandable and relatable to "regular" men. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men and the second most fatal. Worse than the obvious commonality and mortality of the disease, though, is the fact that prostate cancer can rob a man of his manhood. Accordingly, McCallum handles the subject not only with care and knowledge, but also with good cheer. Through the honest telling of his own story, and drawing on the latest research, McCallum shares insight into what's worked for him—and what's proven to work—in surviving cancer with your sense of humor intact.
Prosthetic Immortalities: Biology, Transhumanism, and the Search for Indefinite Life (Posthumanities #71)
by Adam R RosenthalExamining the links between today&’s ideas of radical life extension and age-old notions of immortality From Plato&’s notion of generation to Derrida&’s concept of survival to such modern phenomena as anti-aging treatments, cryogenics, cloning, and whole-brain uploads, Adam Rosenthal&’s Prosthetic Immortalities shows how the dream of indefinite life has always been a technological one: a matter of prosthesis. He argues that every biological instance of perpetual life, from one-celled organisms to rejuvenating jellyfish to Henrietta Lacks&’s &“immortal&” cancer cells, always results in the transformation of the original being. There can, therefore, be no certainty of immortality. Yet, because finite mortal life is already marked by difference, division, and change, as Rosenthal concludes: &“the problem of immortality will not cease to haunt us.&” Prosthetic Immortalities examines the persistence of humans&’ aspirations of deathlessness, showing that the link between immortalization and prostheticization is not unique to a single period but is, rather, a ubiquitous element of the discourse of immortality, encompassing both modern technoscientific efforts and religious discourses of an afterlife. Rosenthal asks to what extent the emergence of a virtual, posited, immortal presence follows from the tenets of empirical science—and not simply from the discourse of biology but also, and more radically still, from biological organization itself. Rosenthal ultimately argues that the discovery of biological immortals—lifeforms that naturally have indefinitely long lifespans, such as cancer cells and bacteria—present novel conceptual difficulties for traditional philosophical approaches to mortality and selfhood, asking whether it is life itself that first births immortalizing prostheses.
Protect Yourself Against Bioterrorism

What precautions can I take to stay healthy and safe? PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST BIOTERRORISM. From fears of full-scale germ warfare to the spread of dangerous and deadly illnesses, we are faced with a new breed of anxiety -- and more questions than ever -- about our safety and well-being in the face of bioterrorism. Dr. Philip M. Tierno, a member of the New York City Mayor's Task Force on Bioterrorism, addresses our fears with the most powerful antidote: information. Dr. Tierno explains: how germs can be used as potential weapons and how they can't, how to distinguish the symptoms of a deadly disease from a run-of-the-mill bug, how these diseases are treated, how to assess the level of risk we face in our daily lives, how to sort fact from myth in the face of frightening new developments, what you can do to safeguard your family's health, and more.
