HIFU only costs $US3500 in Belgium and Holland with tens of thousands of successful procedures. It is the main procedure in Europe, is approved in 20 countries a near approval in US. It has vastly reduced side effects compared with traditional procedures. US doctors oppose it because of vested interests. The Mexican clinics are unnecessarily expensive - men could have a holiday and procedure in Canada, Europe, UK, Japan or Australia for the same money.-Ross
