DO YOUR HOMEWORK

Almost every American guy is going to get prostate cancer or prostate disease, if they live long enough. Johns Hopkins Research calls the prostate "a breeding ground for cancer." But who should be treated, who should not? Is it preventable with diet? Are BPH and prostatitis the canaries in the coalmine? What aren't your doctors telling you? The Prostate Storm (the book and this blog) provides useful information, support and a little humor to help guys now, as science works to find a cure.
