Andropause (Male Decline)

The new frontier ... and one of the most exciting and liveliest areas of discussion in hormonal replacement.  The notion of testosterone replacement has finally come of age.  No longer feared, we are now beginning to see the value of testosterone replacement in a wide range of conditions for both men and women.  It is truly seen as a positive anabolic source of energy.

I have termed Andropause "the dwindles" because it is a slow, insidious decline in purpose, assertiveness and centeredness.  I am not partial to the term "male menopause" because there is nothing "meno" about what men experience.  Nevertheless, we all seem to understand what is meant by the term.

The following is but a host of new books yet to be published on this subject:

The book documents the medical literature supporting these facts. It also outlines the many types of therapy available and which common types are not effective. It is written in easy to understand language. It is the definitive work on the Male Menopause.

Prostate Health in 90 Days : Cure Your Prostate Now Without Drugs or Surgery  by Larry, Ph.D. Clapp 

From the Author: 
My message is simple: If you have been diagnosed with problems with the prostate, including cancer, you don't have to let the doctors give you radiation or surgically remove your prostate. There is an alternative, one that will not only eliminate your disease but also increase your general level of health. What you'll find in my book is the plan I created to heal myself naturally from prostate cancer, and attain the outstanding levels of health and vitality I enjoy today. 

As a prostate cancer patient I became very frustrated with the lack of and conflicting answers provided by the medical establishment. Urologists say that surgical removal is the only cure, yet their own studies show a 75% relapse rate in 10 years and the side effects rate of 50% or more for incontinence and impotence was not acceptable to me. Radiation didn't feel much better and the recurrence was said to be higher.
