Dear Concerned Health Alerts Reader,

Did you know...

Having sex within 72 hours of your PSA test can produce a false reading?

Erectile dysfunction can be a symptom of prostate cancer?

About 50% of men over 50 suffer from the life-changing symptoms of an enlarged prostate (BPH), increasing to almost 90% over age 80?

Early detection is the KEY factor in treating any disease successfully. Regular prostate examinations and PSA tests are a must.

Being fully informed is also important -- and that's where THE JOHNS HOPKINS WHITE PAPER 2008: PROSTATE DISORDERS comes in.

It's your all-in-one comprehensive guide for everything you need to know about your prostate. From what it is and what it does, to what problems can develop, and what to watch out for.

"Why worry about my prostate health now?" you might ask. Experts believe that EVERY man will develop some degree of prostate cancer if you live long enough. Autopsy studies have shown microscopic evidence of prostate cancer in 15-30% of men over the age of 50 and in 60-70% of men who reach age 80.

But don't let that statistic scare you. The reality is that fewer men are dying from prostate cancer than ever before.

And the next generation's risk is decreasing all the time. New statistics tell us that a male born today has a 17% chance of being diagnosed with prostate cancer at some time in his life, but just a 3% chance of dying from the disease.

Part of the reason for today's significant decrease in the death rate from prostate cancer is that more men than ever have gotten SERIOUS about having their PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) levels checked on a regular basis.

HAVE YOU?

In THE JOHNS HOPKINS WHITE PAPER 2008: PROSTATE DISORDERS, you'll discover just how incredibly important PSA testing is.

You'll learn...

  • that an elevated PSA is the single best predictor of the presence of prostate cancer.
  • that PSA testing detects prostate cancer about 5 to 10 years earlier than digital rectal exams.
  • that most cancers detected with PSA testing are curable.
  • that 30-50% of cancers detected by PSA screening would never have become apparent otherwise.
  • and that regularly scheduled PSA testing virtually eliminates the diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer.

You'll also learn...

  • why a "normal" PSA level may not really be normal.
  • the four factors, other than prostate cancer, that can cause a high PSA reading.
  • how your weight affects your PSA level reading, and can mean missing this key indicator of prostate cancer
  • the most common reason for a false-positive result on a PSA test.
  • why a PSA level of 4.0 is NOT a magic number that separates healthy men from those who might have cancer...

...and much, much more essential prostate health information to help you take control of your health now, and act from a place of knowledge rather than myths or hearsay.

Plus, you'll also get your FREE Special Report Prostate Power, yours to keep even if you decide to return Prostate Disorders 2008 for a full refund.

Why Johns Hopkins? What better place to rely upon for cutting-edge advice and information on your prostate health than Johns Hopkins Hospital, which has been a pioneer in advancing medical knowledge for over a century. You'll learn about the latest breakthroughs, such as:

  • Johns Hopkins researchers have developed a way to determine which men are good candidates for the treatment known as "expectant management" or active surveillance.

IMPORTANT NEW FINDING

JOHNS HOPKINS HAS MADE A SIGNIFICANT DISOVERY THAT SHOULD SAVE MEN WITH EARLY PROSTATE CANCERS FROM ACTING TOO SOON AND MAKING HASTY DECISIONS ABOUT THEIR TREATMENT

Johns Hopkins researchers have established, for the first time, solid evidence that for the thousands of men who discover that they have an early prostate cancer, taking time to make the right treatment decision is perfectly SAFE.

The bottom line: At last, Johns Hopkins has given men who have early prostate cancer sound reason to defer costly, possibly dangerous treatment, until it is clear they really need it. In the confusing tangle of information that goes into making decisions about this very common cancer, there is one clear thread to follow: Working closely with your doctor, you can take weeks or months, rather than days, to assess your options before you choose any prostate cancer treatment which can have a significant impact on your quality of life.

You have TIME to make the best decision possible, acting from knowledge gained by the accurate, comprehensive and thorough Johns Hopkins White Paper: Prostate Disorders 2008.
