This was somewhat frightening. I've been working at taking good care of myself and my health, but this felt like a sign that I needed to get more focused. And this seemed at first to come at an inopportune time. Judy and I were soon to leave on a trip to Argentina for three weeks. Our time before leaving was filled with scurrying, both to prepare for our trip and to assemble a plan to deal with the very early warning of cancer.
We met with my urologist and got his assessment and we began phone consultations with Larry Clapp who'd written a book about how he cured his own prostate cancer twice and has helped many other men do the same over the past 17 years. Before we departed I felt I had a good general plan scoped out. I had done a cleanse for about 10 days before we left and would do another on our return... including a rigorous parasite cleansing that would continue (and still is continuing) for ninety days.
While we were in Argentina I'd eat carefully and begin taking Norwegian Cod Liver Oil that would provide me with appropriately rich Vitamins A, D, and E along with DHA and EPA. I'd also continue taking NingXia Red daily, a powerful natural blend of antioxidant juices, and a variety of other supplements including CoEnzyme Q10, Saw Palmetto, Selenium, and grape seed extract. After we'd return and I completed a cleanse, I'd begin a new nutrition plan and resume the daily exercise program of walking and running for about a half hour every morning.
We had a wondrous time in Argentina. I've uploaded over 260 pictures to my Picasa Website at:

I may write more about the trip to Argentina at another time. Yesterday I began sending the following letter to many friends and family members. I'm still sending it to others... I'm struck by the number of people whom I love and who love me! I feel very blessed!!!
Precious Friends and Family Members,
Several weeks ago I learned that I've been diagnosed with early prostate cancer. The diagnosis came primarily as a result of careful regular monitoring of my general health since recovering from colon cancer 17 years ago. Early diagnosis means that I have a few months to use alternative methods of overcoming prostate cancer before having to consider traditional surgery or radiation which is known to be highly effective when done early but is risky with side-effects. My urologist agrees that what I am doing is potentially effective, though not one that is easy or for everyone.
In recent weeks I've been working with coaching from Dr. Larry Clapp, who wrote "Prostate health in 90 Days" and cured himself (and many others) of prostate cancer without surgery or radiation. I've begun almost daily exercises (walking and/or running). I've gone through a rigorous dietary cleanse, more stringent than my "usual" lemonade cleanse to clear my system of real and potential irritants. I've shifted into a diet plan focused primarily on raw foods and high protein, eliminating most sugary and starchy foods. I've begun consuming some specialized supplements and foods designed to combat cancer cells and to promote maximum physical health.
On the spiritual/emotional/psychological side, I'm continuing to meditate a minimum of 1 hour daily. I have begun working regularly with a friend who is a certified Core Energetics therapist to clear and heal unconscious blocks to my well being. With Judy's help I'm also beginning to use a methodology recommended by Dr. Joseph Mercola called EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to deal with issues that block my full experience of well-being.
I am working with several doctors and specialists to monitor my health and the effectiveness of my efforts and I'm getting lots of support and assistance from Judy in all of this. I believe strongly in the power of focused energy and prayer, so, as one of my family and/or family of friends, I'm asking you to support me that way, in your thoughts and hearts as I go through the next several months. I will certainly keep you apprised of my progress and I am happy to talk with you about this and answer any questions you may have.
Warm loving wishes and hugs,
Ken
