Many Conclusions and Opinions- Little Evidence: Offers many unique and very unusual opinions, but unfortunately almost none are supported by direct references to a study, clinical trial, or scientific article. Statement after statement is presented as fact with no support. With so many strong conclusive statements presented, if the results are so clear, where are the studies, medical articles and comparative trails with supporting results!! Book cannot or doesn't provide. Appendix does provide general references/addresses/phone numbers of other "..Healers and Products". I do not recommend this book
WORTH A TRY: My husband was diagnosed with early onset prostate cancer last year and at 51 didn't want to risk the side effects from surgery/radiation. We read Dr. Clapp's book and he tried the program...so far the results have been positive. If you are looking for an alternative to traditional therapies and are willing to modify your eating habits and lifestyle this program is definitely worth looking into. Our best advice is to follow your instincts, and if it feels right to you, try it! Good luck and good health.
Don't Trust the Content: I purchased the fifth printing (1998) of this book. Relating to the eight-day ultimate fast, page 95 states to Juice 3 lemons per 32 oz bottle or about 1 and 1/2 ounces of lemon juice. Plus the maple syrup was to be about 1 and 1/2 ounces. This was half the amount that should have been used. While on the fast I not only felt bad because of releasing toxins, I also was not getting enough nutrients -- not a good thing. True, if I was on the ball then I would have noticed that the 10-ounce mixture recommendations were different from the 32-ounce mixture. However, when I pay good money for a book then I expect it to have been proofread and accurate. Not to long ago I stopped by the bookstore and noticed that they had the 14th printing (March 2002) of this book. The amounts of lemon juice and maple syrup to use for a 32-ounce mixture were accurate. However, the recommended colon treatment was for the TheraClear products. The fifth printing that I own used the Clear/Experience/Harmony products. On the Prostate90 Web site under the "CLEANSING THE COLON AND BODY WITH THE ULTIMATE FAST" it states "Please Note: In order to best serve you, we endeavor to stay abreast of advancing technologies in cleansing and fasting. This evolution has resulted in 3 protocols over 12 printings of "Prostate Health in 90 Days Without Drugs or Surgery." As we have tested new products we have revised the book to recommend slightly different parasite protocols. We have updated each version to include what we deem the most effective products available at the time of printing. We apologize for any confusion this has caused. All three versions of the fast currently in print are safe and effective. All of these products are currently available from the sources indicated." According to the Prostate90 Web site the current product recommended is PC 1,2,3. This, in my opinion, does not add up because it appears the Theraclear was initially recommended prior to Clear/Experience, and Harmony. I think the author has some good ideas and recommended treatments. However, because of the above two problems I do not trust the content of the book. One of Ray Lemoine's reviews referenced Roger Mason's program: "The Natural Prostate Cure" so I am going to look into that program.
an important book: Books like these are invaluable to all men,especially considering that prostate cancer research receives only 1/3 the funding that breast cancer receives.So men are pretty much on their own.Fortunately,there are resources for men,though not as plentiful as for women.The current view that mens health is less important than womens and that men are dispensable,makes it vital that all men take an interest in their own health and in the health of men in general.You and I can make a difference!I encourage all men to participate in prostate cancer fundraising events whenever possible.Prostate cancer events are few and far between,and seldom ever publicized or promoted like breast cancer,nevertheless,seek them out and get involved.I have,and I feel good about it.
QUACK: Risks doing serious harm to patients with prostate cancer. Treatment of prostate cancer should be left to qualified Urologists and Oncologists.
