The Prostate Miracle: New Natural Therapies That Can Save Your Life
Relying on nearly 20 years' experience as an integrative oncologist blending allopathic, naturopathic, and homeopathic medicine, Stoff, coauthor of the best-selling Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: The Hidden Epidemic, presents his program for combating prostate cancer in a detailed, digestible format. The first of the book's three parts, "Understanding Prostate Cancer," provides an overview of prostate cancer, how it is detected, what the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and other tests measure, and conventional and complementary treatments. "A Return To Balance" emphasizes the importance of restoring and boosting the immune system and discusses the roles of hormones and cell cycles. The third part, "On the Road to Healing," delves deeper into integrative oncology. What sets this book apart from other works on prostate ailments are the great appendixes. Stoff provides an algorithm summarizing the key points of the book in a linear model; protocols, supplements, and tests for physician use; a glossary; and an extensive list of resources for foods and supplements mentioned in the text. Recommended for libraries with consumer-health collections, especially those wishing to enhance their men's health selections.DValeria Long, Grand Valley State Univ.
