Prostate Cancer for Dummies (Paperback)

A terminal cancer patient given just three months to live, Jason Winters refused major surgery and traveled the world in search of an herbal remedy. He now has total remission and shares his experiences for the benefit of cancer patients and others seeking to avoid this dreaded illness.

Born in England to a working-class family, Jason Winters was 17 before he rode in a car for the first time, or ate in a restaurant. But he had dreams and immigrated to Canada in 1947 where he worked on a farm in Saskatchewan. He then worked in Northern British Columbia as a lumberjack as well as with the Salmon Fisheries Commission.

Seeking adventure, Jason crossed the Canadian Rockies by hot air balloon. For Canada's centennial celebration he retraced Sir Alexander McKenzie's footsteps down the McKenzie River by canoe, a trip of more than 2,000 miles. Still not satisfied in his zest for adventure, Jason crossed the Sahara Desert by camel before working for the New Zealand government testing seat belts by crashing cars into brick walls.

Jason attempted to be the first man to cross the Atlantic Ocean by balloon but crashed half way. Unlike most balloonists, Jason removed the typical basket from beneath the balloon and replaced it with a small boat, a fact that may have saved his life as it took several days for him to be rescued after crashing into the Atlantic.
