Synopses & Reviews
Vital Man is the first book to provide a comprehensive overview of natural health care for men entering middle age. Through meticulous research and his own experience as an herbalist and psychotherapist, Stephen Buhner offers practical knowledge to help men navigate the forty-five most common disorders that occur at age forty and above. He presents irrefutable evidence that many of the primary medical conditions from which men suffer can be attributed to abnormal changes in hormone levels caused by environmental pollutants. These pervasive chemicals enter men's bodies and disrupt the natural progression into midlife. They can wreak havoc on a man's health, causing erectile dysfunction, lowered sperm count, prostate disorders, cancer, heart disease, and many other problems.
Vital Man offers hundreds of herbal remedies and healing foods to boost natural testosterone levels and to prevent or reverse disease. Sensitive and provocative, it will assure the successful transition into a vital, healthy middle age for men.
