Good overview of alternative medicine with new discoveries, 18 Dec 1997
By A Customer
At first glance, Prostate Health in 90 Days looked like another good overview of the many avenues of alternative medicine -- written to apply specifically to those with prostate problems, and useful to both men and women interested in healing any condition or achieving optimum health. As I began to actually read the book, however, I found that Dr. Clapp has included some fascinating, yet completely common sense and scientifically validated ideas that even I -- a dedicated patient of alternative medicine -- had never heard of before. His program is designed to cleanse and heal the body through basic good health practices that are the cornerstone of the alternative health movement, and in addition he includes new information on monitoring one's "biological terrain" and preventing illness of all kinds through achieving the proper body pH. One caveat to the reader...in his zeal for completeness, Dr. Clapp also includes some optional practices that may be considered "far out". Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. This is a good smorgasboard of resorative alternatives to the often permanent damage of drugs and surgery, from which the reader can pick and choose what is appropriate to construct their own healing plan.

Fills in all the gaps in your medical knowledge, 13 Nov 2003
By A Customer
This book gives you something to hold onto when first pronounced with prostate cancer. The dietary fast and other dietary suggestions do make you feel much more positive and give more energy in your day to day activities. Explanations of medical terminology and grading of cancers provides the questions to ask your medical practitioner. An excellent book providing information on someone who has 'walked the walk'. However, remember not all outcomes are as lucky as the author's, but I would recommend this to anyone who needs to get all the information necessary to make an informed choice.

Breakthrough, natural cures for Prostate Cancer, 31 Oct 1997
By A Customer
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.
