Fight Cancer Like A Man – Stephen Petteruti

A tube goes from the condom into a bag that is typically strapped to your leg which can be worn discreetly underneath your clothing. It requires a little practice and some manual dex- terity to be able to manipulate the catheter, but it can be a very effective means of managing incontinence. Absorbent Pads These are socially liberating once you get past the stigma of using them.

They can be used along with other methods, including condom catheters. Backing up the catheter with an absorbent pad gives more peace of mind in the event there is leakage. They are also more simple to use than the condom catheter and do not require the same degree of manual dexterity. Surgical Therapies Surgery to create an artificial sphincter is available. This is not something that I recommend. After going through the trauma of one surgery, following it up with another operative procedure creates more potential risks from infection to perioperative complications such as blood clotting and cardiovascular events.

In addition, it is difficult to have a good surgical outcome in an area that has already been traumatized by surgery. Page | 239 Implantable Devices Just say no! Anytime I see a device come to market, I become instantly skeptical. Behind the device is a profit motive that can influence interpretation of research out- comes or even the motive to perform research in the first place.

Any implantable device introduces the possibility of an infection. You’re better off adapting to absorbent pads than putting yourself at risk for a calamitous outcome. Practical Preparation Keep an extra set of clothes in your car at all times. If your absorbent pads leak through, or your condom catheter leaks, you’ll have the opportunity to quickly mit- igate the consequence. Fatigue and Depleted Energy Many men experience a decline in vitality, motiva- tion, and energy after being treated for prostate cancer with surgery or radiation.

In many cases, they have already experienced a downward trend in energy as a consequence of aging itself. Men past the age of 50 typically experience a decline in testosterone and with it a decrease in energy, strength, motivation, and sexual vitality. In addition to the decline in gonadal function, there is also a decline in the essential coenzyme nicotina- mide adenine dinucleotide (NAD). NAD is naturally pro- duced in all cells throughout the body, especially in the liver.

As we age, we make less of it. The reduction of NAD Page | 240 contributes to the loss of energy that is a common trait of aging. In some cases, men have opted to implement tes- tosterone therapy in the aftermath of prostatectomy or ra- diation therapy for prostate cancer.

To my wife, Shannon Petteruti, without whom this book, and indeed the entire treatment protocol, would not be possible. She contributed substantially to the content of the book through her own writing and editing. She has been an unwavering supporter of my departure from con- ventional medicine and my pursuit of helping patients live a better life.

Even at times when this pursuit threatened our livelihood and triggered intense criticism, she never blinked, always encouraging me to move forward. Early in my career when I diagnosed a patient with cancer, it intimidated me. I suppose this is true for most primary care doctors. We are taught how to recognize the symptoms, and possibly how to screen for cancer, but at the moment of diagnosis, we are inclined to quickly refer patients to cancer specialists.

Oncology has become a revered and mysterious specialty that has full dominion over cancer treatment. Over the years, I observed the parade of cancer patients marching into toxic treatments, succumbing of- tentimes to the consequences of the treatment rather than the disease itself. In many cases, surviving cancer through conventional treatments left them weak and diminished without full vitality, just glad to be existing.

I observed the life-damaging consequences of the conventional approach to prostate cancer treatment. I began asking questions. How did we get here? What is the proof of benefit? How does the body normally fight cancer, and what can we do to support vitality? The questions were prompted in part by the history of those courageous patients who had the audacity to decline conventional treatment. I noted many of them were thriving in the absence of “definitive” pros- tate cancer treatment.
