Sometimes we leave a medical appointment wishing we'd asked one more question.🤔 I know I have. Sometimes we don't even know what questions to ask until much later.😕 I've noticed this come up in conversations here, and I thought we might be able to help one another. What's one question you wish you'd asked your doctor before a prostate-related test, treatment, or procedure?💡 You don't have to share your personal medical history. And if you haven't experienced this yourself, perhaps there's a question you think would be helpful for someone preparing for an appointment. We all think differently in similar situations, so lets help each other out with suggestions. Here's the part I'd especially love us to try... Read what someone else shares. Can you add another question that might help someone prepare?❓ We're not here to give medical advice or second-guess anyone's treatment decisions. We're here to help one another have more informed conversations with our healthcare professionals. You never know who might benefit from a question they hadn't thought to ask themselves. https://www.skool.com/prostate-paladin-4886/about

I am writing this from a rig in the Gulf of Thailand, so forgive me if this one is rough around the edges. One hundred men on board. About half are over forty-five, so call it fifty. Here is where it gets interesting, because the numbers come in two parts and almost nobody separates them. About half of men in their fifties have an enlarged prostate. Seventy per cent by the sixties, around eighty per cent past seventy. But only about a quarter of men in their fifties have symptoms bad enough to bother them. So on this location, roughly twenty-five men have an enlarged prostate, and about a dozen of them are actually getting up in the night. The other dozen have it and do not know yet. That second dozen is the one I think about, because that was me. I had early signs for years and no idea, until a friend told me in an airport lounge. An enlarged prostate, not cancer. Worth saying plainly. From the deck I can see three more rigs and three production platforms. Every one of them carries a hundred people or more. That is seven or eight hundred people inside my horizon, almost all of them men. And there is a medic on board. He is thirty seconds down the corridor, he is paid to be asked, and in all the time I have been out here not one man has gone to him about this. The same thing happens at home, of course. The ballgame, the symphony, the pub quiz, the golf club. Half the men over fifty in that room, and silence. So here is what I want from you today, and it is not a lecture from me. I have had sixteen years to think about this and I still do not have a clean answer. Why does nobody talk about it? What is actually stopping a man from saying the words out loud? Tell me what you think below. I will read every one of them. https://www.skool.com/prostate-paladin-4886/about

That is the week. Five posts, three stories, one guide. Before you open the guide, I want to say something plainly about what is out there. Search these drugs and you will find testimonials, protocols, podcasts and lists of men who were "cured". There is a lot of it, and it is loud. Most of it is hype. Not lies, mostly. Hope travelling faster than evidence, with someone selling something somewhere along the way. The company behind the retracted study still sells its capsule, with the 84% "benefit" figure still on the page. ASCO, the world's largest organisation of cancer doctors, said in June that these drugs should not be used to treat cancer outside a clinical trial. That is not a ban on asking questions. It is a reason to ask them of his doctor, not of a sales page. Wanting to do your own research is the right instinct. It just means checking what you have seen, not watching more of it. Who is telling the story? What else was he doing? Dish, mouse or man? Has the study been retracted? The guide, Ivermectin, Fenbendazole and Mebendazole, is in the Classroom. Fifteen pages. Plain words. Every source listed so you can check me too. Page 13 is the one I would print. It is a list of questions for the doctor, with a box to tick and a line to write the answer. What question would you add to page 13? https://www.skool.com/prostate-paladin-4886/about

A quick heads up for next week. This week we went deep on ivermectin and the other drugs. Thank you to everyone who stuck with it. Next week I am going the other way. Back to the very beginning. Prostate Basics. Five days, five questions. What is it? Where is it? When does it become a problem? Why? How do we deal with it? Here is why. The more families I talk to, the more I find the basics were skipped. Nobody ever sat us down and explained this gland. We jump straight to the scary words and miss the simple stuff that makes everything else make sense. Every day I will also share one line you can use to open a conversation with the man in your life. So tell me in the comments: which of the five questions do you most want answered? I will make sure that day covers it properly. https://www.skool.com/prostate-paladin-4886/about
