From Library Journal

This audio offers hope and practical suggestions for men who seek an alternative to the surgical treatment of prostate cancer. Clapp, a practicing attorney and coauthor of Awaken the Healer Within, was himself diagnosed with the disease and developed a regimen of diet, meditation, and other lifestyle changes that eradicated the cancer from his body. Narrator Tom Plant manages to hold the listener's interest, though the second half is tough going in this regard, becoming a series of lists of good and bad foods and other mundane action steps toward health. One is left with the impression that, in this case at least, a print copy that could be referred to regularly while trying out the author's methods would be much more practical than an audiobook one must replay in order to revisit the vital information contained in it. Nonetheless, this will be a welcome addition to alternative health collections and will offer new hope to the growing number of men who are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year.

From the Author

My message is simple: If you have been diagnosed with problems with the prostate, including cancer, you don't have to let the doctors give you radiation or surgically remove your prostate. There is an alternative, one that will not only eliminate your disease but also increase your general level of health. What you'll find in my book is the plan I created to heal myself naturally from prostate cancer, and attain the outstanding levels of health and vitality I enjoy today.

As a prostate cancer patient I became very frustrated with the lack of and conflicting answers provided by the medical establishment. Urologists say that surgical removal is the only cure, yet their own studies show a 75% relapse rate in 10 years and the side effects rate of 50% or more for incontinence and impotence was not acceptable to me. Radiation didn't feel much better and the recurrence was said to be higher.

I began intensive research and found that on a global perspective most cultures do not have prostate problems. Prostate cancer is prevalent mainly in the more highly developed countries, with France being a notable exception.What has gone wrong for men in our Western Civilization? God did not create us with prostate problems, yet many men are told by their doctors to expect to have prostate problems sooner or later. There must be a reason. Why?

My research led me to the work of the great German Professor/Scientist Dr. Otto Warburg, who won his first Nobel Prize in 1931 for proving that cancer cannot live in cells that are in pH, oxygenation balance. This fact is widely recognized in the scientific community, but seemingly not in the day to day medical practice. I also learned that no disease can live in pH balanced, oxygenated cells. This is a fact throughout nature--farmers and gardeners know crops thrive when the pH of the soil is right and do very poorly when it is off.

When I discovered that the pH of my body was highly acidic--which is true for about ninety percent of us living in industrialized countries--I set off to find out what could be done to get my body in pH balance and restore my health.

Toxins from our food, water, air, parasites and dental work all contribute to making us acidic. I learned that the ancient process of fasting could release these toxins and after several tries that had varying success, I discovered a combination of tried-and-true fasting methods and cleansing products that allowed for a fast which was easy and fun and which brought me close to the cellular pH balance that is healthy.

To monitor my progress, I used a test called the Biological Terrain Assessment (BTA), which is from Europe, and is now becoming more available in the US. The BTA measures pH, Oxidation and Resistivity of the blood, saliva and urine, rounded to 2 decimal places. With this accurate feedback I was able to strengthen weak organs with homeopathics, monitor mercury detoxification and in 6 weeks I was finally near optimum. Numerous tests confirmed that I was cancer free. But I also had an added bonus...I was feeling better with more energy than I could remember, and healthier than I was prior to the cancer.

Thus I had found a path to a level of health far above that considered by day to day medicine. This was a level free of surprises such as the cancer that "struck me out of the blue" when I was billed by my doctors as being in outstanding health. "Surprises" are unnecessary and hardly good health management.

Men are being given such poor options within the context of conventional medical treatment that I felt I had to write this book to give men, who are open to receiving them, other, more natural, possibilities to consider for treatment and prevention.

5.0 out of 5 stars Breakthrough, natural cures for Prostate Cancer, October 31, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Prostate Health in 90 Days (Paperback)

The commonly-held belief in the medical community is that benign prostate enlargement and cancer is a normal part of male aging, a fact of life to which we should unquestioningly resign ourselves. But attorney Larry Clapp didn't buy it when he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1991. He refused to have surgery, radiation or chemotherapy, and opted instead to investigate alternatives, finding that prostate problems don't exist in other cultures, and concluding that prostate illness was neither inevitable nor incurable. Clapp propelled himself into an intensive research effort to evaluate both traditional and alternative healing methods, and the results became the basis of the healing program that ultimately cured his cancer. The details of his journey, and a step-by-step program for becoming cancer-free in 90 days are outlined in his easy-to-follow, emotionally sensitive book,"Prostate Health in 90 Days Without Drugs or Surgery." The foundation of Clapp's program is the Nobel Prizewinning work of Otto Warburg, who won the coveted prize in 1931, for proving that cancer cannot live in cells that are in pH balance. Most of us living in an urban environment are very acidic, and therefore unwitting hosts to prostate and other cancers. The book explains how the prostate is especially vulnerable, and how to achieve a pH balance that will increase the flow of blood and oxygen to the prostate and force the cancer cells to return to normal cells. Clapp's program is based primarily on balancing the pH by clearing toxins from the body, improving the diet, exercising and working toward a healthier emotional and sexual life. A key part of the program is the Biological Terrain Assessment (BTA), a European test which is gaining popularity in the U.S. The BTA is a major break through, measuring pH, reduction oxidation, and the resistivity of the blood, saliva and urine, to two decimal places. These nine measures provide an in-depth view of the body's present condition, revealing levels of dysfunction that traditional tests don't encompass. With present weaknesses precisely established, a healing program can be mapped out and equally important, progress or lack of progress can be monitored and precisely adjusted weekly, monthly or quarterly.

This review is from: Prostate Health in 90 Days (Paperback)

The "C" word is one of the scariest in our language. But the prostate "C" men have time on their side to check out what really obtains since this is the slowest growing of all cancers. Mr. Clapp's book gave me insight and knowledge to have confidence that I could research and make intelligent decisions in a timely manner. Since of all cancers prosate is the one that gives us time, I followed his program for just three months (doing a considerable amount of personal research also) and my cancer markers all came down. Today, four years later, my doctor tells me that I have no signs of malignancy whatsoever.

I have done many different approaches to "natural healing" in addition to what this book recommends, but this was my first start...and a very successful one at that. It impressed upon me that eliminating the source of cancer was the key. The conventional doctors in my medical plan (a very comprehensive Fortune 500 company) all agreed that cancer's cause was unknown and the only solution was to eliminate its presence (ie: cut it out now, immediately!). The alternative which Mr. Clapp proposes is to eliminate the cause, the source. As the Prosate90 web site also hosts a free and open discussion group (generally unmonitored except for uncivility) there is lively discussion and several research threads to follow.

People are people. Doctors are doctors. Not all people and not all doctors are the same. I have been extremely fortunate to have procured the tools from this book and its on-line discussion group to gravitate to those medical professionals who truly care about curing the cause and not just eliminating the symptom indicated by a labortory assay.

My own experience from reading this book and joining its discussion group, meeting with others with the same concerns, looking beyond so many different personalitites and attitudes presented therein, is that we have all achieved results above what statistics for PCa show. And that's all we're really looking for...results, results, results.

Well this book did. I'm a pretty skeptical person in general. Believe me when I say, I could have easily been another victim of conventional medical methods and unnecesarily forfeited my bodyparts to surgery or radiation. Luckily, Im curious as well as skeptical. I researched the web and found Dr. Clapp's book. Dr. Clapp healed himself from prostate cancer and has done leading edge research and investigaton into what works to heal prostate cancer. His book is easy to understand and the methods he imparts not only guided me towards healing my prostate cancer, it also changed my entire lifestyle and attitude towards health. If you have prostate cancer and you've got one book to read this should be the one. If you've got any other type of cancer than this book should be one of the ones you read, and if you just want to know more about how alternative health works this one will give you a unique and up to date perspective on the subject.
