The Prostate Cancer Protection Plan: The Foods, Supplements, and Drugs That Can Combat Prostate Cancer

By Bob Arnot

Book Overview

Here is a common-sense and exciting new plan to protect men against prostate cancer. The foods men eat can have a profound influence on whether or not they get clinical prostate cancer. Arnot describes these foods and how we can use them as part of a sensible and delicious eating program. He bases his menus on the cuisines from other cultures where the incidence of prostate cancer is dramatically less than in the U.S. Includes: delicious recipes, advice on eating out, stress-busting techniques, fitness programs, a self-test for assessing your own risk, and other prostate cancer-fighting strategies such as promising new drugs and supplements.

PSA Rising?

An excellent first book for readers who have their PSA rising. Reading is very helpful for prevention and for those with cancer recurrance.

Very Helpful

I purchased this book upon being diagnosed with prostate cancer. I found it very informative regarding the dietary causes for prostate cancer, and how diet could help keep it under control. I put the recommended program to work for me, while I waited to have prostate surgery, which I have now had successfully. Upon surgery, my PSA had gone down slightly, when the norm is for it to have gone up. This helped me realize there was something I could be doing to slow down my cancer while waiting for treatment. I continue to stay close to its recommendations after surgery. The book is very readable and very informative. I highly recommend it for any man. Read it before you get prostate cancer and start the prevention dietary program. I believe it has helped me learn to eat more nutritiously.

Excellent guide to prevent and treat prostate cancer

I am a family nurse practitioner. I found the book to be very clear and comprehensive. If you're male and over 40, this is required reading!

The most important book you many ever read....

This book could very easily save your life. While it reaffirmed things I know about fiber, insulin, and exercise, it gave me a lot of new information about how to keep from getting prostate cancer (like my father had), and other important information. It also described "insulin resistance", which is something that I have and has baffeled my doctor for well over a year! Dr. Bob, thanks for writing this great book.

ThePprostate Cancer Protection Plan - Dr. Bob Arnot

This is a serious step in the right direction to minimize the possibility of developing Prostate Cancer. Many volumes have been written on dealing with the disease after detection but nothing notable of taking preventive measures. This should be must reading for every man!
