Dr Christian meets a 69 year old patient who, after suffering from the bacterial infection Prostatitis, was later diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Symptoms of prostate cancer can involve urinary problems such as needing to pee frequently and a weakened flow. New developments in treatments such as keyhole surgery mean that treatment can be administered quickly and with minimum invasion and soon patient Richard and his wife can continue with their usual routine.

I had a 6.5 PSA level two years ago. I worried a lot, my Doctor prescribed a biopsy, it was the most excriciating pain I had ever endured,it was murder of the prostate. 10 pieces of the annoying gland were removed. All was ok. Now I hear of false positives. I died that day. I decided to do some research and pursue a holistic approach and used 3,000 units of saw palmetto daily plus the juices of raw cilantro, spinach, tomatoes, garlic, apple cider vinegar, carrots and exercise. I feel like a champ, honest. The swelling is disappearing and it feels good down there.
