Mark Scholz, a double board-certified medical
oncologist, serves as medical director of Prostate Oncology
Specialists Inc. in Marina del Rey, CA, a medical practice
exclusively focused on prostate cancer.
Ralph H. Blum was a cultural anthropologist and author
who published three novels and five nonfiction books on the
oracular tradition, beginning with The Book of Runes. He
survived for more than twenty years, without radical
intervention, after being diagnosed with prostate cancer.
“A provocative and frank look at the bewildering world of prostate
cancer, from the current state of the multibillion-dollar industry
to the range of available treatments…Prostate cancer is a dark and
mysterious country, and Mr. Blum and Dr. Scholz are good,
levelheaded guides through these thickets. And in telling men to
slow up and take a deep breath after they learn they have prostate
cancer, they provide an invaluable service.” —New York
Times
“There are at least half a million reasons—the number of prostate
cancer diagnoses in the U.S. and Europe—to read this engaging
diary/resource written from the alternating perspectives of doctor
and patient…Here’s good advice based on the brave experiences of
two compatible souls and medical mavericks.” —Publishers Weekly
“An indispensable guide for newly diagnosed and aging males, and
their loved ones.” —Booklist
“Prostate cancer, when it is the ‘favorable risk’ variety—about 90%
of the time—presents a perfect opportunity to use mainstream and
alternative medicine together. In their excellent book, authors
Scholz and Blum give a compelling demonstration of
this integrative approach to healing.” —Andrew Weil,
MD, New York Times bestselling author
“Invasion of the Prostate Snatchers is a masterpiece of
eye-opening science that promises to enhance the lives of thousands
of men diagnosed with prostate cancer every year. I give it my
highest recommendation.” —Christiane Northrup, M.D., ob/gyn
physician and author of the New York Times
bestsellers: Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom and The
Wisdom of Menopause
“Some might consider it a mistake to respond with humor when you
are faced with cancer. I say it takes courage, and is a sorely
needed remedy—especially when the humor is combined with good sense
and state-of-the-art information. As a clinical psychologist who
specializes in men’s health issues, I say, ‘Bravo, Scholz and
Blum!’” —Aaron Kipnis, PhD, author of Knights Without
Armor and What Women and Men Really Want
