All Books by Dr. Stephen Petteruti
For more than three decades, Dr. Stephen Petteruti has challenged conventional thinking and encouraged patients and providers to ask better questions about health, cancer, longevity, and treatment. His books bring together clinical experience, research, and practical strategies designed to help readers make informed decisions with confidence.
Fight Cancer Like a Man
Fight Cancer Like a Man challenges many of the conventional assumptions surrounding prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment. Drawing on more than three decades of clinical experience, scientific literature, and a prevention-focused philosophy, Dr. Petteruti encourages men to slow down, ask better questions, and carefully evaluate the risks and benefits of treatment before making life-changing decisions.
Rather than promoting fear or offering one-size-fits-all solutions, the book empowers readers to understand prostate cancer as a highly individualized disease. It explores topics including PSA testing, prostate MRI, biopsy, Gleason grading, hormone therapy, surgery, radiation, active surveillance, testosterone replacement therapy, and quality of life.
At its core, Fight Cancer Like a Man is about helping men make informed decisions based on evidence rather than urgency. It has become a trusted resource for patients and families seeking a balanced, physician-led perspective on one of the most common cancers affecting men.

Vitamized Health: Your Pathway to Optimal Health Using IV Vitamin Therapy
Long before preventive medicine became a mainstream conversation, Dr. Petteruti was exploring how nutrition, cellular health, and intravenous nutrient therapy could support the body's natural healing processes.
In Vitamized Health, he introduces readers to the concept that lasting health begins at the cellular level. Healthy cells provide the foundation for healthy organs, resilient immune function, cardiovascular health, brain function, energy production, and overall wellness.
The book challenges the traditional disease-centered approach to healthcare, which often focuses on treating illness only after significant damage has occurred. Instead, Dr. Petteruti presents a proactive philosophy centered on optimizing cellular function and supporting the body's ability to maintain health before disease develops.
Drawing on more than 30 years as a practicing family physician and over 15 years of experience in functional and preventive medicine, Dr. Petteruti explains how intravenous vitamin and nutrient therapies may be used to support patients with a variety of clinical concerns, including:
Energy and fatigue
Migraine headaches
Gastrointestinal health
Immune support
Cardiovascular wellness
Cognitive health
Healthy aging
Cancer support
Written in an approachable, easy-to-understand style, Vitamized Health serves as an introduction to intravenous nutrient therapy while encouraging readers to think differently about prevention, cellular health, and the future of personalized medicine.

All men should read this book! When your Doctor says you have an elevated PSA and we need to do a biopsy right away. You need to know there are options to biopsies and the many side effects that they cause. Don't be blind sided by a practitioner using rushed medical scare tactics. Education is key to having a happy healthy life. This wonderful book gives you the information and options available for your wellbeing. I am currently on Dr. Petteruti prostate protocol and I have never felt better. Not only physically but mentally. Thank you Dr. Petteruti.

Finally, a doctor with common sense on cancer and sensible approach to prostate cancer.
Extremely informative and may help avoid unnecessary biopsy or surgery.
It will help with the fear the medical community brings with their treatment approach.

I found this book to be extremely interesting to learn that we don't have to take the aging process and just accept it. We can take control of our lives and do things to make the quality of our lives better. I never realized the benefits of getting treated at the cellular level and how effective it can actually be. I find Dr Petteruti to be so Knowledgeable and genuinely caring for his patients. I highly recommend reading this book and then booking your consultation with Dr. Petteruti.
Fight Cancer Like a Man
Read Dr. Petteruti’s book Fight Cancer Like a Man. It is a great way to start fighting and winning in my opinion.
He covers what is non-conventional and he elaborates on the current treatments for cancer that do more harm than good and the results are minimal as far as longevity.
Having vitality beats being sick and tired. That is what happened to me. I was sick and tired of being a part of a medical system gone bad. Fight!
Fight Cancer Like a Man
Doctor Petteruti I received your new book, “Fight Cancer Like a Man”. I have been following you on YouTube for a year and I am a huge fan.
Looking over the book last night I just received it was more than I expected. All that you have been informing us about is in one place and logically ordered by chapter.
I don’t have prostate cancer but have several friends and family members who are fighting, I just wish all medical professionals were as intelligent and insightful as you. This book should be required reading for all doctors.

You wouldn't imagine that cancer research would include drama, suspense, and danger. But the way Stephen Petteruti tells the story, it does.
The characters are believable and engaging. The actions of the evil parties may have been exaggerated for the story - but perhaps not beyond would could happen.
This book has three story lines, and they are well inter-twined.

Superb read. I have stage 2 prostate cancer and this book helps to realise you don't have to get pressurised into "treatments" which can damage your health for no great benefit.
I've been pressured badly here in the UK to have it removed but turned that down firmly. After all, this cancer is so slow growing I will probably die of something else.
A good honest look at all sides of the story and a must especially if your doctors are pressurising you to get it removed or have radiation. Indeed I wish I'd read this before having the biopsy. Well done to this Doctor for speaking out.

If you are interested in Iv hydration or like me, starting my own IV hydration business this book is a must have. This book is so well thought out, the chapters are short & full of info, analogies and examples. As an RN I can totally relate to how we treat diseases processes bs working on preventing. I now follow him on YouTube and social media. Brilliant physician with a great mindset in intellectual medicine (as he calls it). I also bought his wife’s book, (an NP Petteruti) haven’t started reading it yet. I hope it’s from a nurse perspective. Anyway you won’t be disappointed at all with this book. Thank you Dr Petteruti for such quality information. Anyone in the medical field will be able to relate. Invest in Your knowledge of IV hydration it’s only just the beginning

I rarely read a book cover to cover, but I couldn’t put this one down.
His insights were precise, evidence-based, and refreshingly different from the conventional medical playbook. If you’re facing a prostate health scare, this is the one book you’ll want to read.

In a year of reading voraciously on prostate cancer, this is the best book I have found. Current advice, and many recommendations. Don't do anything until you read this book.
Grace Smith
The Cancer Machine
Dr. Stephen Petteruti’s ‘The Cancer Machine’ is perfect for those who enjoy a good thrill laced with conspiracy and action. The book is a page turner with very dramatic action soon entering the characters' lives, so I definitely recommend to those who enjoy a quick-paced plot.
