| After reading this book I tried a couple of items recommended by this author. BE VERY CAREFUL BEFORE TRYING ANY OF HIS RECOMMENDATIONS! Mason recommends taking 300mg a day of Beta-Sitosterol for Prostate problems. He tells us it is safe to take and there are minimal side-effects. Fortunately, I didn't take the entire 300mg pill. I took about a quarter of it. After a while I felt so crappy I was sorry I took it. Another recommendation is Progesterone. Mason suggests rubbing 1/8th tespoon of progesterone in a cream onto your private parts. Again he tells us it is safe. Fortunately, I only took a fraction of that amount and rubbed it in. I almost lost my mind! I felt so weird I was ready to call a doctor! I'm scared to try anything else. Hormones are very powerful. Tiny amounts are needed to accomplish its goal. How Mason can recommend the amounts he does should be criminal. I don't care what qualifications Mason has or how smart he is or how many studies show a particular result none of them I repeat NONE OF THEM will tell what effect it will have on YOU. This is try true not only for the Mason's of this world but for any and all who suggest pills of any kind be it prescription, over the counter, or natural. Standardization doesn't work in a non-standard world. Each of us has different standards. I, for instance, am allergic to shell fish. I get sick with as little as one bite. Here we're talking about far different creatures and we have no idea what they will do to us. The cure may be worse than the disease. Mason's ideas may work for you but I'd be leery of trying them at the recommended doasge from the start. |

My Dad suffered with prostate problems for years. He was on antibiotics daily for several years. He had a cystoscopy and every other procedure you can imagine. He took all of the medicines prescribed religiously. His situation was so bad and he was in so much discomfort he was going to have to retire.
Then, God led him to Roger Mason's "The Natural Prostate Cure". At this point, he had nothing to lose. He purchased ALL of the suggested vitamins, minerals, etc. There are a lot of them. There is no need to try this regimen if you aren't going to be committed and follow-through. I think during the first 3 months there were over 40 pills a day. BUT ---- In three months, he was noticing a difference. Now, four years later, he still follows the maintenance regime.
He had an appointment last month and the doctor is amazed at the difference! This is the same doctor that was recommending radical surgery! Now, his physician keeps copies of this book on hand and gives them to patients in similar situations.
Amazon only allows us to give 5 stars.... If we could, we give this book a THOUSAND stars!!! |

I read this book after reading the author's Macrobiotic Diet book. When I read these books I was in intense pain from a gout attack that had dragged on for weeks and wouldn't respond to the usual medical treatment. These gout attacks had become more and more frequent, coming about every six months or less at that point in time. I also had a kidney stone attack at the same time, which caused even more pain. My feet were always in pain even when there was no gout attack.
After reading these books, I followed the Macrobiotic Diet. I stopped eating meat and dairy and eggs, and stopped using any kind of sweetener. I ate whole grains and legumes as my primary source of food, with fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement them. I also ate some fish. I took the supplements that are recommended in this book.
Within two months I had lost 30 pounds. The gout and kidney stone problems went away. More than a year and a half has gone by since this occurred. During this time my feet stopped hurting. I have had no gout attacks. My cholesterol is normal, and I had my first normal uric acid test ever (when uric acid levels rise, and mine was always high, gout is almost sure to come).
I have urged everyone I know to read this book and Macrobiotic Diet.

| Before any man diagnosed with Prostate Cancer signs up for a radical localized procedure such as having their prostate removed, radiated, frozen or microwaved, he owes it to himself to read this short book. Its hopeful message and some further research have led me to adopt the program it proposes in leiu of more conventional radical localized prostate treatments. I feel good! |

This book is rich in useful facts, errors, and misguided opinions. If you have the technical expertise to separate out the "chaff from the grain", then you probably don't need this book. Useful facts include: prostate cancer is preventable and better treatable without castration or prostatectomy, diet plays a major role in the health of the prostate gland, testosterone is not the enemy in prostate cancer but rather the imbalance between estrogens and testosterone in the aging male.
Errors in the book include: lycopenes from tomatoes are useless for prostate health (p.17). The Mediterranean lifestyle, which incorporates abundant tomatoes, has been shown to help prevent prostate problems. Since Mr. Mason has no formal training in a health related field, he is overly confident in his opinions, like calling the Harvard study in a major peer reviewed journal showing the value of tomatoes in reducing the incidence of prostate cancer "asinine" and "paid advertisements". Another error is that flax oil is a reasonable substitute for fish oil in prostate health. In fact, flax oil is inefficiently converted to fish oil (EPA) in the human body. He says that you must cut fat in the diet to 10% of calories. Meanwhile, both Eskimos and Mediterranean people consume a diet of 60% fat and 30% fat respectively without any significant prostate disease. Mr. Mason tells us to stay away from nightshade vegetables, like potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers. Which is very disconcerting for the Inca civilization, the largest and most advanced civilization in the pre-Columbian Americas for 300 years, where potatoes are the staple of the diet. The descendents of the Incas today still live actively into their 80s off of nothing but potatoes. Mr. Mason cautions us to never take more than 250 milligrams per day of vitamin C (p.13). Which would make a fruit smoothie toxic and the thousands of doctors who inject up to 100,000 mg of vitamin C to help sick patients all wrong.
While conventional therapy for prostate cancer may be hazardous to your health, this book is wrong at least half of the time. For the sheer entertainment value of how opinionated an uninformed lay person can be, this book is worth the read.
