Speaker: Eric Yarnell, ND, RH (AHG)  Prostate problems are extremely common and highly amenable to natural prevention and treatment.

• Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is experienced by the majority of men to varying degrees. We discuss how to assess the severity and type of BPH, choosing the most appropriate therapeutics, including when it is necessary to use drugs or refer for surgery (including what types of surgery are best).
• Chronic prostatitis and pelvic pain are also extremely common, but little discussed. We review various theories of how these conditions arise, and especially debunk the widespread belief that infections always underlie this condition.
• We will then review prostate cancer. We start with a condition that doesn’t really have a name but is currently mislabeled as low-grade, localized prostate cancer. This unnamed condition especially will be addressed with an eye toward avoiding the vast overtreatment that currently occurs in conventional medicine. Next we delve into established prostate cancer and the power of a combination of natural and conventional therapies, including the many new conventional options for focal (vs. prostate- or even pelvis-wide) treatment.
• Finally we discuss issues around the prostate in trans feminine people who still have prostates.
• Case studies are used as illustrations throughout.
