Elton,

I'm afraid that you'll be hard pressed to find anyone, including Dr.
Clapp, who has become free of prostate cancer by using his methods. The
problem is that it is impossible to prove a negative. I.e., a biopsy
can show the presence of prostate cancer cells, but there is no test
that defintively proves the absence of any prostate cancer cells. Also,
the ideas behind his methods are devoid of scientific merit. E.g., even
if you believe that changing one's hormonal balance can eliminate
prostate cancer, it is impossible to do so safely without using drugs in
conjunction with hormones. His "drug free" treatments for prostate
cancer are just plain bogus.

Thanks Ed and to the others for the advice. I thought his self-cure
claim appeared bogus. I like the idea of using phytotherapy to improve
one's health; however, there are too many quacks trying to profit off
of the hopes of people using claims for which there is no scientific
support.
