Synopsis

Advance Praise for The Breast Cancer Prevention Program "The Breast Cancer Prevention Program is a marvelous book intelligent, courageous, and practical. This authoritative and persuasive work will raise the collective consciousness. It asks, and tells, what you can do for yourself and for your country in a sensible, practical way that melds personal prevention and activism. It provides the tools to reduce one's risk of breast cancer both individually and by political action, making lifesaving information immediately available and simultaneously attempting to influence and alter the way our society deals with breast cancer."
