Synopsis

Jane Plant's breast cancer recurred five times before she learned of the relationship between diet and the disease. In her international bestselling book, Your Life in Your Hands, she describes how her training and knowledge as a natural scientist enabled her to understand and, eventually, overcome her cancer. In Prostate Cancer: Understand, Prevent and Overcome she then expanded her research into prostate cancer - the second biggest cancer killer among men.
In The Plant Programme Jane and fellow scientist Gill Tidey show how adopting a lifestyle of non-dairy eating and healthy living can complement conventional medical treatment of breast or prostate cancer and help in the prevention of the diseases. With hundreds of tasty, easy-to-make and nutritious dairy-free meals for all occasions, as well as tips on how to cope with dining away from home. The Plant Programme can help save lives.

From the Inside Flap

Jane Plant's breast cancer recurred five times before she learned of the relationship between diet and disease. The lifestyle of non-dairy eating and healthy living she adopted to complement her conventional medical treatment overcame her cancer and she wrote about those food and lifestyle factors in her internationally best selling book Your Life in Your Hands and, with fellow scientist Gill Tidey, the recipe book The Plant Programme. Now Jane Plant and Gill Tidey show that this diet can also be beneficial in the prevention and treatment of several other common diseases. The authors have expanded the information about their diet to look at a variety of illnesses - some common, some minor and some more serious. They clearly explain the principles of the diet before discussing the illnesses and aspects of the diet that will help (including what foods and products to avoid). Key sections on cardiovascular, digestive tract and skin diseases and bone problems are followed by delicious, easy-to-make and nutritious recipes to help you follow and keep to a healthy diet.
