Ladies, the men in your life won't see a doctor until they're doubled up in pain--which may be too late. You love these guys? Check out these natural cures that seem to hold real promise for men's concerns.

Pacify Your Prostate

A friend turned to me recently and said, "You know what scares me?"

My brain did a quick file search. Suddenly noticing your date has an Adam's apple? Finding out your wife wants to talk to you--on Jerry Springer? A second Scott Peterson trial?

"Prostate cancer."

He's right. Why else do we avoid getting tested? And, judging by the number of prostate-stricken celebrities in the news from Colin Powell to John Kerry--the incidence of this disease seems to be on the rise.

First, let's deal with defective genes. They could block production of a prostate-protecting substance: glutathione S-tranferase (GST). To boost GST levels, chow down on broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts. Also, take vitamin C.
