Healing the Prostate - by Mark Stengler (Paperback)

About the Book

"Odds are good that you, or someone you love, will be faced with a prostate or male-related condition during your lifetime. Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in American men, affecting one in nine men. Furthermore, low testosterone affects almost 40 percent of men aged 45 and older, which can lead to erectile dysfunction, low libido, and a whole host of health issues. Take charge of your prostate health now, before you're faced with invasive procedures and diminished quality of life. Mark Stengler, N.M.D., draws upon his over 25 years of expertise in naturopathic medicine and holistic hormone therapies to provide a comprehensive approach to optimal prostate health. He thoroughly explains the benefits and side effects of both conventional and integrative treatments for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), prostatitis, overactive bladder (OAB), urinary incontinence, chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS), hormonal imbalance, erectile dysfunction, low libido, and prostate cancer. In Healing the Prostate, you'll also learn about diet and lifestyle choices as well as the scientifically proven nutritional supplements that set the stage for a healthy prostate and address many of your common health concerns"--

Book Synopsis

A practical, integrative guide to men's prostate health, including holistic therapies for prostate cancer, BPH, prostatitis, and bladder function.

Foreword by Dr. Geo Espinosa, author of the best-selling book Thrive Don't Only Survive: Dr. Geo's Guide to Living Your Best Life Before & After Prostate Cancer

For all its many important functions, the prostate gland can become a health curse to many men, young and old. Common prostate conditions include: benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostate cancer, prostatitis, testosterone deficiency, and erectile dysfunction.

While conventional therapies exist for all these conditions, scientific studies have demonstrated that a comprehensive, integrative, or holistic approach to healing can dramatically reduce risk and/or decrease negative side effects and symptoms.

Mark Stengler, N.M.D., draws upon his over 25 years of expertise in naturopathic medicine and holistic hormone therapies to provide a comprehensive approach to optimal prostate health, including a focus on bladder function, hormone balance, and a thorough exploration of prostate cancer diagnosis, treatment options, and holistic support. By thoroughly addressing these key aspects of the genitourinary system, you will be able to discover optimal prostate health and functionality.

Review Quotes

"Healing the Prostate is every man's must-read. It's also a riveting book for women concerned about the health ofthe men in their lives too. Many men eventually need their prostate radiated, medicated, or operated on for various conditions, many of which could have been partially prevented. As an added perk, the science-based self-help tools in this healthy prostate plan will help keep many other organs healthy. I highly recommend this book!"
-- William Sears, M.D., author of The Healthy Brain Book

"This is an easy-to-read, informative book covering the most recent research and treatments for the prostate and male genitourinary health. Dr. Stengler shares his clinical experience and case histories, and outlines practical diet and lifestyle recommendations, making the book relevant and useful for both the clinician and layperson. It is refreshing to see the inclusion of new perspectives for male health and a chapter dedicated to the bladder as a primary cause of male LUTS."
-- Tracey Seipel, N.D., founder of Seipel Group, a nutraceutical company that pioneered the natural urological health category

"Dr. Stengler has provided critical information that all men and their doctors need to know, especially men who are dealing with prostate or bladder disorders. The book is extremely well referenced, is easy to read, and gives valuable information about both conventional and integrative approaches to these very common problems."
-- Frank Shallenberger, M.D., founder of The Nevada Center of Alternative and Anti-Aging Medicine

"I am a big fan of Dr. Mark Stengler because he produces results. His program for the prostate is 100% on target. Every man needs to read this book and follow his expert guidance to optimal health."
-- Michael T. Murray, N.D., author of The Longevity Matrix

"All men should become knowledgeable about prostate health because virtually all men will experience prostate health problems at some time in their lives. Unfortunately, many urologists recommend only traditional medical treatments for prostate health issues. Dr. Mark Stengler's book Healing the Prostate provides men with a comprehensive overview of both conventional and holistic therapies for all issues related to prostate health. From erectile dysfunction and testosterone to BPH and prostate cancer therapies, Healing the Prostate is an educational book that I am happy to recommend to all men."
-- Ross Pelton, RPh, CCN, The Natural Pharmacist

"The numbers don't lie: 50 percent of all men will require treatment for symptoms of prostate enlargement, and 10 percent of men will develop prostate cancer in their lifetimes. Dr. Stengler has brought a commonsense approach to prostate health in his new book, Healing the Prostate. Most of us would want to make meaningful changes in our daily routine if we thought it would decrease our risk of developing disease. Dr. Stengler gives a very concise and easily readable 'blueprint' on how to make those changes."
-- Carl Walker, M.D., board-certified urologist
