Prostate Cancer Is PreventableDid you know...By age 50, most men suffer some kind of prostate disease, by age 85, 90% of men develop prostate cancer.The death rate for prostate cancer is nearly double that for breast cancer.Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men.Right now, virtually nothing is being done by mainstream medical institutions and health authorities to prevent prostate disease.Colgan examines conventional medical treatment of prostate disease - invasive surgeries, unreliable tests, and drugs with either extreme or unknown side-effects.Drawing on the latest studies of nutritional treatment of prostate cancer as well as twenty years of applying this treatment to men with prostate disease, Colgan elaborates both theory and practice of prostate care.He demystifies medical jargon and unveils the truth about the connection between environmental pollutants, processed foods, and degenerative diseases. Then, in the elegantly simple style typical of his work, Colgan describes a treatment and prevention protocol based on knowledge, diet, and nutrition.Protect Your Prostate is an attempt to chip away at the monumental ignorance and denial that surrounds a deadly, yet preventable disease.If you want to explore preventative measures against prostate disease in yourself or someone you love, then this one is a must-read.124 pp | Quality Soft Cover | Illustrated

Internationally acclaimed scientist and best selling author, Dr. Michael Colgan explains the right way to gain maximum strength, speed, and endurance.LARGE FORMAT | Fully Illustrated | 384 pages | Quality SoftcoverAlthough this best selling book is about weight training, it is NOT a book about bodybuilding! It is a book about achieving maximum strength, speed, and endurance.Unlike bodybuilders, who do not have to perform on the playing field, athletes should never train heavy all year long.The most a human body can take of any heavy weight program is about 60 minutes. After that, hormone levels start to decline, neural fatigue sets in, and further weight work will not increase muscle power, or even muscle mass, according to Dr. Colgan.To back up his claims, Colgan typically sites mountains of scientific evidence, as well as his own experience with hundreds of athletes to demonstrate how over-training creates injury and long-term fatigue of the human nervous system.This large format, fully illustrated training manual can be used to increase the power, endurance, and speed of athletes of all levels, from weekend warriors - to Olympic medalists.Discover the secrets of true power - on and off the playing field...
