Did
you know that 60-70% of cancers are due to dietary factors? And, that
many of these may be prevented by changes in dietary habits? That's
right, and now there is an "answer book" for those who want
to learn more about taking control of their health.
Your Diet and Cancer is a practical tutorial designed
to give the reader valuable information about how cancers develop
and how simple changes in diet may prevent serious illness. Not to
be confused with a medical journal full of technical jargon, this
book is jam-packed with over 60 pages of down to earth information
and beautiful illustrations of the salient points.
The ideas and suggestions contained in Your Diet and
Cancer are designed to help you make informed decisions about your
health. Cancer is one of the main causes of death among humans and
your way of consuming food affects the risk. Do yourself a favor and
take control today!
Learn how antioxidants reduce the side-effects of
chemotherapy and may even make it more effective.
The book was developed after working with over 500
cancer patients and organizing 3 international symposiums on the subject.
The information contained in BCN 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.
BCN had become a home study continuing education course
for registered nurses. BCN 2001 version will contain a 72-minute audio
CD version in response to the requests from tired cancer patients
who said they needed and audio version of the book to get started.
This book is all about taking action against cancer!

of cancer, including bladder, breast, colorectal, digestive tract,
gynecological, leukemia, lung melanoma, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, pancreatic
and prostate cancer.

The Gerson Therapy is brought up to date with the
latest information including program modifications for people who
have had chemotherapy, for people who are in an extremely weakened
state, and a modified program for non cancer chronic conditions. The
information is provided in a highly readable and understandable format.
The book details the background, theory, and enough
specific cases to establish credibility without being overbearing.
In fact most of the case studies are used to detail understanding
of the therapy.
The book does not sugar coat the difficulty of healing
using natural therapy and states that the Gerson Therapy may be the
most difficult to follow of the many that are available. All of the
information required to do the therapy either on one's own or in conjunction
with a qualified clinic or practitioner is provided in easily accessible
section.
Information on choosing the best foods to help combat
the disease as well as the side effects of chemical, surgical, and
radiation treatments.
Very helpful information for Cancer patients going
through Chemotherapy and Radiation treatments.
Written by two nurses who understand the questions
patients have before and during chemotherapy or radiation therapy,
this book is very easy to read but doesn't skimp on technical details
when necessary. The chapters cover basics about the treatment, how
to deal with side-effects, getting good nutrition, support, and bone-marrow
transplants.
Diet and nutrition are at the top of the list for
anyone with a newly diagnosed malignancy. Patients have problems with
a loss of appetite and altered taste either before or during treatment.
Dr. Gerald Miletello, a practicing medical oncologist, collaborated
with cookbook author, Holly Clegg to create Eating Well Through Cancer,
a collection of 200 easy recipes to help cancer patients tolerate
treatment.
In Eating Well Through Cancer, the personal experience
of its authors combine to produce a cookbook that serves as a guide
for nutrition before, during and after cancer treatment. Besides the
recipes themselves, the book features diabetic exchanges, menu planning,
high calorie variations, Doctor's Notes and a section that cross-references
recipes and side effects.
Chapters are organized according to the phase of treatment
and possible side effects. Additional sections are devoted to long
term post treatment healthy eating as well as snacks and suggestions
of foods for friends to bring those undergoing treatment. Any patient
undergoing chemotherapy will find this book to be an essential asset.
The recipes are simple, tasty and easy to prepare.
Good nutrition is vital to people undergoing cancer
treatment, yet treatment side effects can make eating seem unappealing.
