I respect how open Larry King is about his various ailments

Over the years he's been the spokesman for a number of heart ailments like Ginsana and Garlique and Kyolic Garlic.

We also know he squats when he takes a dump because he's the spokesman for Squatty Potty, which he swears by.

This morning on Progressive radio he's advertising for prostate pills and reassuring us that his prostate is in "great shape" since he began taking them.

If you have no secrets, nobody can ever embarrass you.

An enlarged prostate is no joke. Most males see their prostate enlarge as they age. That cuts off their urine flow thru the urethra. That causes urine to pool in the bladder, which in my case led to calcium deposits that form into bladder stones, some the size of marbles. Passing a bladder stone is no picnic, believe me. It’s a really debilitating condition...and scary. Having blood in your urine is scary.

Nothing embarrassing about having a condition that is a result of human evolution.
