Dr. Moyad has an enviable ability to condense information about prostate cancer, diagnostic techniques, treatment options and desirable lifestyle changes in a manner easily understood by the lay person. Since most men with prostate cancer will die of something else, the author stresses heart healthy habits, giving excellent suggestions on dietary guidelines and exercise techniques. He discusses criteria for active surveillance - not exactly the same as watchful waiting - an option that more men with low grade prostate cancer are choosing. Moyad is professor of preventive and alternative medicine at the U. of Michigan, but he is rather restrained in his recommendations of herbal remedies. He in not a fan of megadose medication. Indeed, he cautions against certain agents known to have deleterious side effects. I highly recommend this book. You should also read his No BS Health Advice. The BS also stands for Bad Science. It exposes many current worthless and harmful fads and remedies.For men with advanced prostate cancer, Dr. Moyad has written Promoting Wellness beyond Hormone Therapy.
Well put together and a bit heavy on traditional cancer treatment thought. A good explanation of different treatments but lite on the role of nutrition and exercise. Overall a good read and informative.
I have heard him speak at events. This book has some really concise information to help one understand what they should do in a healthful sense.
I have only read the first section - not much new information but it is a useful little book and seems up-to-date. At the cost it is a very good buy and I would recommend it to other prostrate sufferers.
If your reading this book then your life is not fun right now.. but this book makes a lot of sense and is easy to understand.
The most information since I started down this path it's been very helpful with a lot of links to other sources.
This book was recommended to me and I would recommend it to others. Well written and great information for those dealing with prostate cancer.
This book was a disappointment. It really didn't address my concerns about eating as a cancer patient.
