This tool and a new tool ,MRI-S, will alow men to opt for less invasive treatments or even non-treatment&amp;nbsp;for Prostate Cancer.&amp;nbsp;There are a few Urologists who are spearheading what will become a new Gold Standard for diagnosis&amp;nbsp; and treatment as new&amp;nbsp; imaging &amp;nbsp;technology becomes more availible. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;One such Urologist is Dr. Ronald Wheeler MD&amp;nbsp;of Sarasota Florida. He &amp;nbsp;will be releasing a book soon called "Men at risk, a Rush to Judgment" The first chapter "Too many&amp;nbsp;Radicals...too many Failures" &amp;nbsp;is posted on his website. Dr. Larry&amp;nbsp; Clapp (not an MD) mentioned by Dr. Mercola is a great place to start for the latest in Alternative Prostate Cancer information.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank God for men and women &amp;nbsp;like Dr. Mercola,&amp;nbsp; Dr. Wheeler and Dr. &amp;nbsp;Clapp who give us new &amp;nbsp;options in treatment. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=90082" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Cancer -- Hurry Up and Wait</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/02/23/Cancer--Hurry-Up-and-Wait.aspx#90081</link><pubDate>Sat, 10 Mar 2007 11:43:07 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:90081</guid><dc:creator>derecho</dc:creator><description>&lt;strong&gt;Regarding Prostate Cancer, I have not&amp;nbsp;seen anything written about the treatment I received in 2004 at Loma Linda University Medical Center in California (PROTON BEAM THERAPY) There were very few if any side effects and so far not after effects..&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;www.protonbob.com&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;John Dillard&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=90081" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Cancer -- Hurry Up and Wait</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/02/23/Cancer--Hurry-Up-and-Wait.aspx#90080</link><pubDate>Thu, 01 Mar 2007 17:29:01 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:90080</guid><dc:creator>miles shaler</dc:creator><description>Hi,&lt;br&gt;Prostate cancer&amp;nbsp;is a very complicated and emotive subject. I am not surprised to read that most men diagnosed do not want to opt for the watch and wait programme. Men being what they are and I am one too, when diagnosed just want to tear the cancer out of their body and so did I.&lt;br&gt;My&amp;nbsp;Gleason score was read as&amp;nbsp;6 from my biopsy. I opted for a radical prostectomy after which, the pathology report showed that the true Gleason reading was 7. Leaving a cancer in place and risking it having been under-diagnosed or spreading is not conducive with a peaceful mind, especially&amp;nbsp;with the way the average man thinks.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;Knowing what I know now, were I to have the same choice again, I would decide exactly the same because once the cancer has spread from the prostate, who can know where it will grow next.&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=90080" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Cancer -- Hurry Up and Wait</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/02/23/Cancer--Hurry-Up-and-Wait.aspx#90078</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 Feb 2007 02:31:09 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:90078</guid><dc:creator>helpingheart</dc:creator><description>Don't want Colon Cancer?

His web site is www.BrianPeskin.com.&amp;nbsp; We should NOT be consuming fish oil supplements and his analysis of the research blows apart commonly held myths about the causes of cancer. I have immediately implemented his diet, as it makes sense and is based on PROVEN research. This diet will prevent other degenerative disease and increase immunity. Time will tell, but I expect the results to be pretty swift. This diet is not unlike that suggested by&amp;nbsp;Dr. Mercola, but Brian advises us (through proven research) that fish oil supplements are highly toxic and can cause cancer. Don'ttake my word for it, find out for yourselves.
