In 2007, three years after the surgical removal of my prostate due to cancer, I joined the approximately 30 percent of men who are not cured by removing or radiating their prostates.

In this video we're going to talk about erectile dysfunction caused by treatment for prostate cancer. Talking about impotence like it's a black and white issue, either you have it or don't, is not always an accurate representation of some of the problems that need to be dealt with.

Regular consumption of the right kind of plant foods changes our internal environment to largely eliminate the conditions (like chronic inflammation for one example) which cause the development of most of our modern degenerative lifestyle diseases – high blood pressure, stroke,…

We're going to talk about treatment-related side effects for surgery or radiation therapy for prostate cancer. The prostate gland is within millimeters of the nerves that control erections, the rectal wall, and the urinary passage which goes directly through the middle of the gland.
