Let me start the week with a confession. Sixteen years ago a friend at an airport told me I had a prostate issue. I had no idea. I could not have told you what a prostate was, never mind what it did. So today, the simplest question. What is it? It is a gland, that starts off about the size of a walnut. Only men have one. It makes fluid for semen. That is the whole introduction. No drama. Just another gland. The reason I start here is that almost every family I talk to skipped this step. They went straight from "something is wrong" to the scary words, with nothing in between. Here is your homework. Explain the prostate to someone at home in one sentence, using only what is in this post. Then come back and tell me how it went. Did they already know? 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 Has the study been retracted?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

November is Movember, the month men grow a moustache so that somebody finally asks them why. So we lead with one. Tony George in Massachusetts argued his own urologist into a biopsy, and is spending this month growing a moustache and walking sixty miles. Then a well known man in Trinidad who stood up in front of a crowd and admitted he left it too late. And Mario Fher Perez in Miami, who could not walk at all six years ago, and runs marathons now. Awareness is key - which is what Prostate Paladin has been saying all along. Use one of them this week to ask the man in your life when he was last checked, and what the number was. And if he grows a moustache this month, ask him what it is for. https://www.skool.com/prostate-paladin-4886/about

I live in Pattaya, and one of the small things I worked out years ago is where every decent toilet is between my place and anywhere I go regularly. I did not decide to do that. It just happened, the way you learn a route. It only struck me as odd when I read a nurse in Scotland describing men with an enlarged prostate. Her words: "I see some men gradually start to live a smaller life. They stop doing the things they love because they're embarrassed about their symptoms or about having a catheter." That is what the toilet map really is. The cheerful version of the same thing. You are still going out, but the route is doing the deciding. I am not in any trouble, before anyone worries. BPH, and sixteen years of paying attention to it. But I recognized myself in her sentence and I did not enjoy it. So I am curious about this one, and only you lot will answer it honestly. What have you quietly stopped doing, or started planning around, because of your prostate? The trip you did not book. The seat you always pick. The drink you turn down after four o'clock. Say it here. It is a gland with a problem, not a confession. https://www.skool.com/prostate-paladin-4886/about
