The load on a partner of a man with any sort of prostate problem, even benign hyperplasia like mine is big. They never know when we might go on to cancer, and the actual daily problem of bladder control can be frankly, a pain in the lower abdominal region.

"My husband, 64 years, has been on this program for 12 months.
He has an enlarged prostate and a large kidney. About 6 months ago he had exploratory surgery because he was getting a pain in his kidney on urination. After surgery he urologist told him his enlarged kidney was 'congenital' and nothing could be done.
It was suggested that he had surgery on his prostate to help his urine stream and reduce frequency. The surgery basically bores out the insides of the prostate - which often leads to impotence. And after all that he would need more surgery in a few years time anyway.
Although the kidney pain is still there, his frequent urination and small stream from the enlarged prostate has hugely improved. He was getting up in the night up to 4 times. He is now only getting up once and sometimes not at all. During the day it was difficult going out as he would need to use a toilet very frequently. This is now not a problem.
I believe this has happened because his hormonal system has balanced out on this program.
I would like to mention also that he used to get a very bad back ache, which was crippling and would last for days. I took him off gluten several years ago and the bad back aches went away. But if he binges on gluten (which he has just done as we have been in France with the bread!) he experiences the back pain again.
He also says he has a fabulous sense of loving his food and eating less on this program."

Ian: am I the lucky guy or what? I want to add that Cassie researched all of Bee's recommendations fully, and arrived at her own decisions based on her intensive study.
