This site is needed for all men. We will try and help guide you through the issues of men’s health, especially Prostate related issues. It can be overwhelming and very misunderstood.
Kind of a boring topic so why do we care? Because at some point every man that reads this will have some kind of Prostate issue. That is not a crazy boast but a simple fact of life. We need a place to get help understanding this very misunderstood and incorrectly identified and treated issue.
For instance: Does testosterone affect or promote Prostate Cancer? It depends…on who you listen to on this topic. Conventional wisdom says testosterone “is like pouring gasoline on a fire.” Conventional wisdom from a study in the 1940’s, (not my statement and more later on this)! Newer wisdom and newer studies say testosterone has absolutely NO impact on Prostate health or prostate cancer specifically! Who you gonna believe? We will cover this and other topics in blog posts later.
While we are at it if newer studies and data prove that testosterone has no impact on prostate health and prostate cancer, why do so many Urologists still propose “hormone therapy,” which should more honestly be called “hormone deprivation therapy” because it is designed to remove all testosterone from a man’s body. Why is the FDA still approving new medications to promote and “assist” hormone therapy? Could be that big government and their buddies in so called big Pharma and lots of dollars, as in billions are involved?
As you can understand, this is a very difficult topic. Yet at some point in time it will affect every man reading this web site, as well as their loved ones and friends. It is just a fact of life, so let’s learn as much as we can so when the time comes we can make educated and informed decisions. As always we must be our own “best advocate.” If not you, then who??
