Synopsis

Sugar feeds cancer: diet and supplements can starve tumours; and nutrition makes chemo and radiation more toxic to the tumour while protecting the patient.

Nutrition changes underlying causes of cancer, improving outcomes for cancer patients regardless of other therapies.

This book was developed after working with over 500 cancer patients and organising three international symposiums on the subject. The information contained in the book is both scientifically backed with references and clinically proven in the hospital with patients.

This information helps cancer patients to improve quality and quantity of life. It has become a home study continuing education course for registered nurses and also contains a 72- minute audio CD version in response to requests from tired cancer patients who said they needed an audio version of the book to get started.

About this title

Review

This completely revised edition of a 1994 title offers up-to-date information about the human body's own "host defense mechanisms" in the war on cancer, providing a multidisciplinary approach to treatment based on scientific studies and clinical experience. Quillin, a medical professional who has published extensively, has conducted nutrition studies with hundreds of patients in formal clinical settings. He discusses conventional therapies (chemotherapy, surgery), alternative therapies (macrobiotics, herbal and vitamin therapies), and related factors (psychosocial health, drugs, tobacco, immune dysfunctions). Appendixes list treatment referral agencies, mail-order nutrition products, suggested readings, nutritionally oriented doctors in the United States and Canada, and recipes using foods known to slow tumor growth. Written in an easy-to-read style, this work is informative.... Still, this useful guide to authoritative alternatives in cancer treatment would be appreciated in public library or consumer health collections.--Virginia Lingle, Hershey Medical Ctr.
