Alan Lawrenson
Australia's looming energy crisis
Alan Lawrenson, after tertiary studies, spent almost his entire working life in the commercial side of the science industry, marketing scientific and medical equipment and running the peak industry association for laboratory technology in Australia. He also served on a number of Australian Government-initiated reviews and committees.
His father died with prostate cancer aged 95, his brother has suffered from the same disease for more than 10 years. Alan was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2012 and wasn't happy with the treatment options initially offered by his doctors.
He termed the phrase "The Cancer Anxiety Factor" that afflicts all newly diagnosed PCa patients. A large motivation in his writing his initial book "An ABC of Prostate Cancer in 2015" was to provides such men with a host of alternatives that might better suit their circumstances and to encourage them to take a more proactive role in 'managing' their condition. Subsequently, he has written a second book titled "An ABC of Prostate Cancer - 2nd Edition". This new book, launched in September 2106, is a much updated and expanded variant of the initial book.It provides far more information on Diet and Nutrition and on a host of successful Alternative Treatments.
Both books broadly describe his Journey over 4 Continents to find the Best Cure. They are considered essential reading for newly-diagnosed prostate cancer patients.
