Great book!
This book presents the kind of information you might never otherwise learn and that some actually seek to suppress (note the couple of negative reviews unabashedly trying to steer you away from reading this book, with weak ad hominem attacks). I bought numerous copies of this book and gave them as gifts to friends and family coping with prostate cancer. Dr. Hennefent truly cares about the situation because he had so many loved ones (uncles) suffer from poor treatment decisions for prostate cancer and doesn't want to see others suffer. The information presented is well supported with references to reputable information sources. Prostate cancer victims need to educate themselves and not rely on biased doctors, or any other single source of information, to give them the full picture. This book will help round out whatever other information you may have received and presents much information that is quite surprising.

Very Helpful!
I bought this book for my father-in-law who was recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. He said it was the best book he had ever read. He finished it in two days. He said it helped him solidify his decision not to have surgery.

Worth the price and more!
This should be required reading for every man over 40, much less 50! I learned enough to ask the right questions of the right people after having a cancer diagnosis. My only wish is that I had read it before the doctor said those fatefull words. 5 stars to the author for providing concise, understandabale information concerning the prostate and it's various diseases and the cures.

Do not buy this book
This author is on a campaign, a misinformed and poorly written campaign, against prostate surgery which, for many men, is by far the best choice. Do not buy this book under any circumstances. Even if you are tying to avoid surgery, you can get better information almost anywhere on the internet than is presented in this book.

Worth reading, lots of information
The author is clearly anti-surgery. He repeats this over and over again...a little too often, really. However, his position is backed up by a lot of hard facts.

The author definitely favors radiation as a preferred option when surgery is the other main choice. He makes a strong case that radiation has a similar treatment efficacy and fewer side effects. There isn't much in the book about nutritional therapies.

I found it definitely worth reading. Most urologists seem to favor surgery as "the gold standard". However, after reading this book and checking out the research upon which it bases its conclusions, surgery definitely seems to be oversold.
