Summary: Just to be honest...
Review: After reading the previous 'review' I have to be very skeptical of it.The fact that the book was released in February and the reviewer states "It is now 2 1/2 years after I first started to practice..." means that they are not reviewing the book, but the book writer and his practices. I would almost think that the person has a vested interest in the success of the book. I may buy it yet, since I have only recently realized that I have prostatitis. I will listen to my physician's recommendations first, then look to alternative therapies, usually under the supervision of my physician. If you find that you are not comfortable enough to do the same, then I would suggest that you get a new physician, until you find one that will not only be responsible, but listen to your thoughts also. I fired 4 physicians before I found the one that I currently have, you can too. Doctors aren't gods, they need your business, not the other way around.

Summary: It works
Review: I experienced pain above my groin and in the pelvis/abdomen for about four years before it was successfully controlled--mostly elminated--by learning the techniques from these authors. My pain was a dull ache, and the pain would worsen if I had to stand or walk for a long time (e.g. a movie theater line or walking in a shopping mall). Three urologists in 4 years could not find the reason for the pain, but it persisted. I also endured uncomfortable invasive medical procedures and bouts of powerful antibiotics, all without being healed. Finally, a urologist who had heard a research paper being delivered by one of the book's authors at a medical conference referred me to them at Stanford Urology. After beginning their progressive/deep relaxation protocol and physical therapy, my symptoms were reduced in intensity by 90%-100% (becaming mild, occasional episodes rather than chronic and painful). The best part of it: no drugs, no fancy medical procedures or spooky side effects. Actually knowing how to heal the problem elminated the tremendous emotional and mental burden of having the previously mysterious pain; I could control it--and even eliminate it. This is not the quick-fix; it takes time and discipline, probably for a lifetime.

Summary: the techniques in this book healed me completely
Review: I suffered from prostatitis/CPPS for 3 years and my life became absolutely miserable. I received 4 different diagnoses from 4 urologists, tried over 20 prescription medications, vitamins and herbs and underwent several very uncomfortable and expensive procedures, all of which did hardly anything to help my symptoms which had slowly increased in intensity over time (sound familiar?) Eventually I met one of the authors of this book, David Wise, and he taught me the techniques described in the book. Slowly I began to heal myself, without any medication. Six months later my symptoms were diminished significantly and nine months later I felt I was healed. It is now 2 1/2 years after I first started to practice these methods and I feel that I have been freed of this horrific condition. I cannot recommend this book highly enough for those who are still suffering. There are many schools of thought regarding this syndrome and I studied all of them obsessively at one time. I feel very strongly that over the coming years the ideas in this book will eclipse the other models of this disease and come to be recognized as the most powerful methods for dealing with it as more and more people are seen to have solid and long-lasting benefits. Mine is not the last testimonial you will see. I should say however that it is not a simple or quick solution and it requires a lot of devotion, but chances are the end-result will be your freedom. Best of luck, do not abandon hope until you have given these methods your most sincere effort.

Summary: finally, something that works!
Review: I was having many symptoms described in this book and they peaked while I was out of the country in a developing country, no less. After having antibiotics, alpha-blockers, antispasmodics, painkillers and being told I had BPH and later IC, I had started to despair. The urologists couldn't really figure out what I had and when I told them about the enormous amount of stress I had leading up to this and that I spent alot of time working at a desk chair...well they looked blank. On my recent trip I was in so much pain and the only thing that really helped was a hot shower. That was my first clue that something such as relaxation might help. I had frequency, urgency, burning pain, pain in the penis, and scrotum. I had access to a computer with the internet on my trip and during my down time I started to review the medical literature on IC in men and prostatis in men. I was convinced I had IC, although a potassium test was negative (one doc was pushing me to go on Elmiron while one was against it). I found some helpful info on the internet about overactive bladders and stuff like don't panic and try to stretch the time interval to urination. Doing that and drinking a great deal of water helped with the problem. After reading a review of this book at the IC network, I called the publisher and somehow the author (Dr. Wise) called me. I was blown away that he would talk with me. We talked for some time and he seemed to be caring, compassionate, and well versed in the medical aspects of the problem. I started to get better as soon as he gave me some tips over the phone! I got the book and it is very comprehensive. I started the relaxation procedures but I can tell this will take some dedication but it is really worth it. I'm bringing the book to my urologist next week.

Summary: It works!
Review: If you've experienced symptoms of pelvic dysfunction, such as pain, difficulty with urination, or sexual problems, and have not yet found an answer, this book may be exactly what you need. The book applies to both sexes, but I can speak from experience to the men: if you have any of these symptoms, and/or have been diagnosed with prostatitis and especially if antibiotics have given limited or no relief from symptoms, PLEASE read the book. I began to improve within a week of starting the book and applying its methods. However, as the author points out, the treatment methods found in this book are not a quick fix. They require dedication and consistent effort. If you are as frustrated in your search as I was in mine, you will have no problem making that effort, and you may find the book to be a godsend, as I did.

Summary: A Headache in the Pelvis
Review: This is ABSOLUTELY the most ACCURATE book I have ever read, and I have never done a review of a book before, but I just have to on this one. I asked my daughter to order it for me and she did. I haven't quite finished reading it yet (still in the process), but it is soooo true. I am so excited about the results of the exercises in this book that I just had to do this review of it. I have been having lots of trouble with my bowels not working since I was in a wreck a little over 15 years ago from which I found out later that I had a blood clot in the groin area and now have Lupus, cirrhosis, and diabetes. My intestines only worked from once to twice a week for the past four to five years. With these exercises (and I've only done them for one month now) my bowels are moving every day. This is AMAZING for me because I have tried everything before, and nothing worked. I have been from doctor to doctor trying to get help. I am soooo thankful to the kind doctors that took their precious time to write this book! I don't know them, but they deserve a great reward for this. I'm just soooo AMAZED at the exercises, and what they say about getting the blood supply to the muscles is so true! Thanks again to all that took the time to write such an accurate book. WOW
