I agree with Frank . I have read this book and most of what he says is logical and reasonable for anyone suffering from a disease possibly resulting from a 'Western' life-style i.e diet, stress levels, insufficient exercise
I think the lengthy chapter on sex is unnecessary and assumes you are married or have a sexual partner.
I am also disappointed that he has written/co-written other books such as 'Awaken the Healer Within' and 'The Fat-Blocker Diet'. Kind of changes him from a prostate cancer sufferer with a story to tell into a medical author.

Sammy,
You're absolutely right about Larry Clapp's book. I think the only
information he gives about his condition is his PSA and prostate
size, which is virtually worthless information in the absence of
knowing his tumor staging and Gleason score. Thank you for making
that point.
However, I don't think this completely invalidates his work, because
most of what he recommends is a good preventative regimen even if you
don't have a prostate problem, and may help cure other disorders
besides cancer.
Frank
