What Has Happened So Far . . . A Thanksgiving Reflection

1. Most important of all, of course, are the spiritual practices that you reminded me of.

I need to build these practices into my life consistently and diligently — with faith and devotion.


2. For the enlarged prostrate condition, I have discovered a remarkable book called Prostate Health in 90 Days Without Drugs or Surgery (1997) by Larry Clapp. It is well-researched, readable, and helpful.

He wrote his book based on seven years of intensive research during which he studied under several medical doctors, biological dentists, and alternative healers. He developed expertise in cleansing, nutritional healing, pH balancing, herbology, homeopathy, bodywork, and energetic and spiritual healing. Combining the best of these healing arts, he developed a successful treatment program for prostate cancer (with which he healed himself).

Specifically, he presents a comprehensive nine-point cleansing program:

(1) Homeopathy – cleansing and strengthening key organs

(2) Exercise – building heath with exercise and bodywork

(3) Energy – the healing power of energy

(4) Diet – cleansing the colon and body with the “ultimate fast”

(5) Love – enhancing one’s sex life for a healthier prostate

(6) Emotions – releasing the emotions that cause disease

(7) Albumin – raising albumin levels

(8) Dental Work – recognizing the link between a healthy mouth and a healthy prostate

(9) Other – being open-minded to further intriguing approaches to healing cancer, such as Antineoplaston Therapy, Ayurveda, Chaparral, Essiac Tea, Gerson Therapy, Iscador, Macrobiotics, Moerman Anti-Cancer Diet, Pau D’Arco, Sun, and Wheatgrass Therapy.


Dr. Larry Clapp’s work has been affirmed by Dr. Joseph Mercola. He is the founder of Mercola.com. An osteopathic physician, best-selling author and recipient of multiple awards in the field of natural health, his primary vision is to change the modern health paradigm by providing people with a valuable resource to help them take control of their health.

Here are some links that Eva found for me:

A Christian friend (living in Hawaii) recommended the following very informative YouTube presentation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntqn69LyFU4&feature=youtu.be

The title is: “The Enlarged Prostate: What Every Man Needs to Know” by Nicholas Donin, MD (UCLA Health)

Dr. Nicholas Donin talks about prostate gland enlargement and what it means for men’s health. Dr. Donin practices surgery, and complex general surgical oncology at UCLA Burbank and UCLA Valencia clinics.

I have watched 45 minutes of the YouTube so far – it is 1 hour and 21 minutes in length. Dr. Donin is easy to listen to; his presentation is most informative, and his graphic slides summarizing key points are excellent.
