Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery

Posted by admin | Posted in Cancer | Posted on 15-10-2011

0

Product Description
The niche bestseller “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” begins with the shooting of a urologist and includes a World War II Battle. The book exposes the big lie about radical prostate surgery, is filled with cartoons and simple diagrams, and is written for the average layperson in easy-to-understand style.

“Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” quotes Dr. Gary Onik, M.D., Cryosurgeon and Director of Surgical Imaging at Celebration Health Hospital, Celebration, Florida, who says: “I expect that within five years we will see the death of the radical prostatectomy as a treatment for prostate cancer.”

The author, Bradley Hennenfent, M.D., has seen five uncles suffer from prostate cancer and his book includes many uplifting stories about less harmful treatments than surgery. Dr. Hennenfent also explains the problem of lies, damn lies, and prostate cancer statistics. The adverse effects of surgery: impotence, sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and urethral strictures are explained in realistic fashion.

“Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” quotes oncologist Dr. Robert Leibowitz of Compassionate Oncology Medical Group, who says: “If radical prostatectomies worked, the data would be there. The reason the data is not there is because radical prostatectomies don’t work.” Dr. Leibowitz adds: “No prospective randomized trial has ever found radical prostatectomy to be both necessary and effective.”

Urologist W. Reid Pitts, Jr., M.D., FACS, wrote an outstanding letter-to-the-editor of the “Journal of Urology” lambasting the radical prostatectomy. When interviewed for “Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery,” Dr. Pitts said: “Although I did the first ever nerve sparing radical prostatectomy at New York-Cornell Hospital, I’ve abandoned the radical prostatectomy for my prostate cancer patients. There is always a better treatment option.”

Dr. Hennenfent co-founded the Prostatitis Foundation (www.prostatitis.org). He also founded the Epididymitis Foundation (www.epididymitisfoundation.org), and the Acoustic Neuroma Foundation (www.acousticneuromafoundation.org). He previously published “The Prostatitis Syndromes.”

“Surviving Prostate Cancer Without Surgery” quotes urologist Ronald Wheeler, M.D. of the Prostatitis and Prostate Cancer Center, who says: “In my opinion, prostatitis resolution holds the key to the future of prostate cancer resolution.”

“Two randomized, controlled studies suggest that 95% or more of all prostate cancer surgery done to date has failed to extend the life of the patient,”� says Dr. Bradley Hennenfent M.D., the book’s author, and “This will be news to most men.”�

“Surgery should not be advertised as a cure-all for prostate cancer,”� says Dr. Hennenfent, “although surgery does increase the lifespan of about 5% of patients, and improvements in surgery are constantly being developed.”�

“My book details the harm done by surgery, while explaining the pros and cons of watchful waiting, active noninvasive therapy, radiation seed implants, three-dimensional radiation therapy, herbal medications, cryosurgery, and hormone blockade.”�

Product Description
” From Incurable to Incredible is a book that everyone should read because it is filled with the wisdom of those who have confronted their mortality and let it become their teacher.” — Bernie Siegel, M.D.-Best-selling author of Love, Medicine and Miracles; Faith, Hope and Healing, and dozens of other books. From Incurable to Incredible features 27 stories of cancer survivors who shocked everyone by overcoming a terminal prognosis. You’ll learn about Dave Massey, who in 1986 and again in 1997, was given six months to live. Today, he runs marathons and speaks at cancer centers nationwide to spread his message of hope. Paul Falk, diagnosed 23 years ago at age 9 with acute leukemia, describes how his doctors wondered if he would survive two weeks. A year later, he wowed everyone by becoming the personal guest of then Vice President George H.W. Bush. And then there’s Mary Jacobson who, after being diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, bought a coffin and made arrangements for her young daughter. Fifteen years later, she competes in Strong Woman competitions and pulls planes, trains and automobiles for charity. The book includes discussion questions, a list of common attributes these survivors share, as well insights on survivorship by best-selling author Bernie Siegel and Doug Ulman, CEO and president of LIVESTRONG.

Man to Man: Surviving Prostate Cancer

Posted by admin | Posted in Cancer | Posted on 06-10-2011

Product Description
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.

Product Description
Increase your survival odds by creating and following an exercise program that counteracts the side effects of your treatment, speeds your recovery, and reduces your risk of recurrence.

Through exercise, patients will regain some control over their body, manage side effects more successfully, and increase their body’s ability to heal. Cancer Fitness provides clear directions to safely start an exercise program, and the tools to make exercise a long-lasting lifestyle change to heal body and soul.

Pink Ribbon Blues: How Breast Cancer Culture Undermines Women’s Health

Posted by admin | Posted in Cancer | Posted on 17-09-2011

0

Product Description
Pink ribbon paraphernalia saturate shopping malls, billboards, magazines, television, and other venues, all in the name of breast cancer awareness. In this compelling and provocative work, Gayle Sulik shows that though this “pink ribbon culture” has brought breast cancer advocacy much attention, it has not had the desired effect of improving women’s health. It may, in fact, have done the opposite. Based on eight years of research, analysis of advertisements and breast cancer awareness campaigns, and hundreds of interviews with those affected by the disease, Pink Ribbon Blues highlights the hidden costs of the pink ribbon as an industry, one in which breast cancer has become merely a brand name with a pink logo. Indeed, while survivors and supporters walk, run, and purchase ribbons for a cure, cancer rates rise, the cancer industry thrives, corporations claim responsible citizenship while profiting from the disease, and breast cancer is stigmatized anew for those who reject the pink ribbon model. But Sulik also outlines alternative organizations that make a real difference, highlights what they do differently, and presents a new agenda for the future.
