About
Dr. Hennenfent
Bradley Hennenfent, MD, is a graduate of Northwestern University,
the University of Illinois Medical School, and the University of Illinois Affiliated
Hospitals Emergency Medicine Residency Program.
He first became interested in the prostate when his Uncle Steve,
who inspired him to attend medical school, died from his prostate cancer treatment
in 1984.
As Dr. Hennenfent researched the prostate, he became increasingly
dismayed by the drastic operations that men were being subjected to without an
understanding of their consequences. He discovered that the methods of diagnosis
and treatment of prostate cancer were controversial, and that the research published
by urologists is substantially flawed.
Dr. Hennenfent became a men’s health activist. He began doing original
research. He founded the Internet newsgroups sci.med.prostate.cancer, sci.med.prostate.bph,
and sci.med.prostate.prostatitis. He was also one of the original founders
of the Internet Prostate Problems Mailing List. Together with his father,
Mike Hennenfent, he co-founded the nonprofit Prostatitis Foundation (www.prostatitis.org),
where almost a million men per year visit for help.
Dr. Hennenfent has been published in the British Journal
of Urology, the Digital Urology Journal, Emerging Infectious Diseases,
Annals of Emergency Medicine, Consultant, EMERGINDEX, Techniques in
Urology, and the Journal of Pelvic Surgery. He also authored a monograph
entitled the Prostatitis Syndromes, donating all proceeds going to the
non-profit Prostatitis Foundation.
Besides being a physician, Dr. Hennenfent is also an economist who
believes that a well-designed health-care system is more important to the health
of a nation’s people than any single physician’s skill and knowledge. He has
traveled the world doing medical research and studying health-care delivery systems.
Dr. Hennenfent has delivered more than forty-five lectures at various
hospitals. He owns a patent that enables less painful digital rectal examinations
and prostatic massage.
Dr. Hennenfent has spent time educating congress on the need for prostatitis
research and has helped secure millions of dollars in federal funding for prostatitis
research.
Among the author’s heroes are Jessica Mitford, whose book, The
American Way of Death, exposed the funeral industry’s financial exploitation
of grieving relatives; Randy Shiltz, whose book, And the Band Played On, exposed
the system's lack of response to the AIDS epidemic; and Hillary Johnson, author
of Osler’s Web: Inside the Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Epidemic, which
exposed another shameful response of the medical system to a major health issue.
Dr. Hennenfent is a fan of Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics: The Manipulation
of Public Opinion in America, the book by Michael Wheeler that first brought
popular attention to how and why statistics are often misused; the hilarious How
to Lie with Statistics by Darrell Huff; and The Honest Truth about Lying
with Statistics by Cooper B. Holmes.
Dr. Hennenfent lives in downstate, Illinois where he writes, does medical
research, and contributes to the non-profit Prostatitis Foundation. Someday,
he hopes to open a clinical research center for prostate diseases and to organize
a biomedical company to do research.
Dr. Hennenfent started the web sites: SurvivingProstateCancerWithoutSurgery.org, ProstatitisAndBPH.org,
and EpididymitisFoundation.org.
