Book Reviews of Beating Cancer with Nutrition
Book Review: Big words explained
Summary: 5 Stars
We really appreciated how the author gave definitions to the medical terms in simple language.It help to comprehend and have a deeper understanding of how the body works. We've read it once and we are half way through it again and plan to read it 1 or 2 more times. We use the immunopower pills and powder. We originally started out with Stage 2 breast cancer with 9 cancerous lymph nodes. Now we have Stage 4 with bone metasis. That is after 30 rounds of radiation and 5 doses of chemo and some follow up pills taken daily. Example: Femara, Aromasin,etc. We are currently taking Cantron, Quillin diet and supplements. We are in the lawn service business. My husband and I mow at least 90 lawns in 4 days, so we get plenty of exercise. And of course our strong belief in God and His plans and purposes. We do not know where we stand now as we have not been tested for 3 months. We plan to be retested in 6 months to see if there has been a change.If we remember we will try to let you know what the outcome is. Thank you for your positive attitude and your very studied knowledge. Sincerely, LindaBook Review: Nutrition VERY IMPORTANT

Hello,
In Feb '06, my mother was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer. That diagnosis resulted in the removal of the tumor in her colon, 40% of her liver, and overaries. She began chemo in April '06 and followed the advice from this book and other sources of what you should do to stengthen your body to fight off the cancer and potential side effects of chemo. She's been such a fighter, blending and drinking her own vegetable juices (carrots, kale, broccoli), drinking wheat grass shots, avoiding sugar, eating whole grains, taking supplements, vitamins (Immunopower 3.0) and praying. She just finished her 6th chemo session yesterday and she feels and looks great. Not only did she return back to her full-time job during session 2, she didn't lose her hair, nails, develope mouth sores or get dry skin. To her surprise as well as mine, her nails have never been so strong as they are now. Even her doctor's are surprised how strong her blood work is. By session 6, her white blood count is suppose to be low but instead hers are very strong. I am not sure what the future holds but I do believe GOD's help can be found in the right food! DARK GREEN VEGGIES SUCH AS BROCCOLI!!!!
Book Review: This book saved my life
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband bought an earlier version of this book almost 7 years ago when I was given 8 weeks to live. The uterine cancer had metasticized to my lungs and bones. I had a large tumor on my pelvic bone which caused excruciating pain when I walked and even at rest. We followed the book exactly and yes, we bought the Immunopower which was very expensive, but you can't put a price on your life. The only thing I did differently was avoid all meat entirely. I still do not eat meat. My oncologist calls me his "miracle" patient. I've been cancer free for 7 years even though my oncologist said I had a very "aggressive" cancer and it definitely would return. Organic veggies, a juicer, Essiac tea, Immunopower and lots of prayer saved my life. Book Review: Please add selenium; read below
Summary: 4 Stars
The cancer-fighting nutrient most proven to date is selenium. A daily supplement of 200 microgram of selenium, has been shown in a large placebo-controlled, double-blind clinical study -- the most prestigious type of scientific study of nutrients and drugs -- to cut the death rate from cancer in half.
Specifically, a large group of people who were given each day a yeast tablet enriched with 200 micrograms (mcg) of selenium had only half the number of deaths from cancer over a seven year period as a similarly large control group who were given a daily yeast tablet containing no selenium. Yeast tablets enriched with 200 mcg of selenium are readily available at pharmacies as well as health stores across the U.S. for about $5 or so for a bottle of 50 to 100 tablets -- only 10 cents or less per day.
The results of this dramatic study were published in the medical profession's own journal: The Journal of the American Medical Association. Nevertheless, most doctors pay no attention to the results. Think about that, selenium (at 10 cents per day or less) has been shown in a large clinical study to cut the death rate from cancer in half and nobody tells the public about it. Incredible! In my opinion, as a research chemist, everybody in the U.S. should take supplemental selenium every day.
Other nutrients which help prevent cancer include vitamin C, vitamin E, CoQ10, and lycopene.
Book Review: A Solid book - when there is so much waffle out there
Summary: 5 Stars
2005: This is one of a rare breed of nutrition books that is science-based. Every chapter has dozens of reported scientific research articles that supports every thing covered in that chapter. None of this "trust me" self-promoting waffly nonsense. Just solid, specific, well-referenced information on how people (for instance) on Tamoxifen treatment for breast cancer can increase the effectiveness of the treatment AND lower the side effects of it by taking vitamins and minerals. I wish I had the book with me, or I would be more specific. I have lent it to a school chum who is fighting his own cancer battle.
2008: My other half was suffering from crippling abdominal pain and after three days in hospital while being treated like she was making a bit of a mountain out of a molehill (she is uncomplaining to a point of fault) they scanned and found a triangular dark mass on her ovary. Diagnosis cancer made all the more convincing by the nurses switching from treating my other half like she was wasting a hospital bed to treating her like she was condemned to die - and they could not now do enough to help ease her stay. We went home and adopted the dietary recommendations of the book with a vengeance. With regards to supplements we added Selenium and Magnesium. We gave up smoking which was both hard and easy to do. Organic food. 16 weeks later after a mix up with mis-scheduled surgery the ovaries were removed an no cancerous tissue was found in the lump.
Now I cannot say whether the initial diagnosis of cancer was right and the eating and supplements reversed it, or it was mis-diagnosed in the first instance. All I want to say is that 1) there was a hushed conference and a complete change of attitude by the doctors and nursing staff that convinced us we had Cancer to contend with, and 2) reading this book gave us power back, gave us hope and something positive & useful to do while we were waiting for the operation. So maybe we managed to reverse the cancer - who knows, but it was a damn sight better every day to be fighting cancer by shopping for and cooking foods that we thought might help in the fight than to just be counting time waiting for the next (painful) brush with the medical establishment.
