Healthy Prostate


Book Description

"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." Dr. Andrew Weil, M.D. (http: //www.drweil.com/) Healthy Prostate explains how to cure your prostate problem naturally, without the devastating side effects of conventional medical treatments. Prostate cancer, prostatitis, and BPH enlarged prostate are names for prostate diseases. It begs the question: What causes an unhealthy prostate? The problem with conventional prostate treatments is that they attack the symptoms of the disease, downplay the side effects of treatment, and do nothing to eradicate the underlying causes. Doesn't it make more sense to treat the causes? Use your prostate condition as a wake-up call to get healthy! You can reverse a chronic prostate problem by changing your lifestyle. Conventional medicine concentrates on the symptoms and treats them aggressively, which weakens your body. You can't overpower the body without consequences. Do not believe doctors who downplay the side effects of slicing and dicing, radiating, or poisoning the body-there is another way. Your prostate problems can be healed without the dire side effects of incontinence and impotence. Better still, you can prevent prostate disease from happening in the first place! I did and I will show you how to do it for yourself. Ron Bazar, a Harvard MBA and serial entrepreneur, experienced a sudden complete urinary retention (a painful inability to urinate). At age 55, Ron was diagnosed with BPH, an enlarged prostate.

After over seven years of extensive research and experimentation, Ron finally discovered how to heal his prostate naturally. In Healthy Prostate, Ron shares his insights and unique perspective to assist in empowering you to succeed and heal yourself-no matter what kind of prostate problem you face.
