About this product

Product Information

There is good news in the war on cancer. Optimal nutrition coupled with appropriate medical treatment can dramatically improve the quality and quantity of life and chances for a complete remission for most cancer patients. A well-nourished cancer patient can better manage the disease . Cancer is the number two cause of death in America and the developed nations of the world with one out of four dying from cancer and 38% of women and 43% of men projected to develop cancer over their lifetime. While the overall death rate from cancer has not appreciably declined since the start of the multi-trillion dollar war on cancer in 1971, there is good news from the nutrition arena. Optimal nutrition can reduce the risks of developing cancer by up to 90%, hence it is a strong preventative tool for everyone . And nutrition can dramatically improve quality and quantity of life for the millions of patients who are being medically treated for cancer. This book provides a well-documented approach for using an aggressive nutrition plan of food and supplements to: reverse or avoid the common malnutrition that kills 42% of cancer patients make chemo and radiation more of a selective toxin, thus protecting the patients' cells while making the cancer cells more vulnerable to medical elimination slow cancer by limiting the amount of sugar available in the blood and gut for the glucose-dependent cancer cells stimulate the immune system, which is in charge of killing all unwanted cells in the body, such as cancer using foods and nutrition supplements as biological response modifiers to upregulate the body's built-in mechanism for eliminating cancer cells, such as apoptosis (programmed cell death). There are many scientifically-supported nutrition factors that can slow or discourage cancer cells, including fish oil, phytoallexins from red and green fruits and vegetables, vitamin D, and much, much more. This 400+ page book includes: An audio CD for those who are too sick or tired to read A clever executive summary for those who want the main bullet points without reading the whole book A tear out two sided color chart with rating your foods and better seasonings to tape on your refrigerator An extensive chapter on meal plans and recipes to make practical cancer fighting foods tasty and convenient A comprehensive program for the cancer patient to use in conjunction with his or her doctor's best medical care. The author, Dr. Quillin, spent 10 years as vice president of nutrition for Cancer Treatment Centers of America, a nationwide network of cancer hospitals, having counseled thousands of cancer patients and working with oncologists to provide synergism between medicine and nutrition. Quillin also organized 3 international scientific conferences on nutrition and cancer, edited the textbook ADJUVANT NUTRITION IN CANCER TREATMENT, and has many legitimate credentials in clinical nutrition (bachelor's, master's, doctorate degrees in nutrition; registered and licensed dietitian (RD); certified nutrition specialist (CNS)) to support the credibility of this book. BEATING CANCER WITH NUTRITION has become the definitive book on this subject, was a bestseller on amazon.com in 1999, has been translated into 5 other languages, and has received high praise from cancer patients and doctors alike. Originally published in 1994, this book had complete rewrites and updates in 1998, 2001, and the most current version in 2005. This book empowers the patient to be a part of their own recovery from cancer. The positive reviews from cancer patients and family members posted on amazon.com speak for themselves. This program works.

...every cancer physician should recommend Beating Cancer with Nutrition to each of their cancer patients., 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.

    Bite the bullet eat your way to health.

    The information is absolitely correct and includes some excellent charts to summarize the main point, plus: there is also a dvd. In the index in the back you will find a list of doctors around the country who support nutritional healing. Amazingly, I found my local doctor in the list. Another author, Dr Joel Fuhrman, advises similar nutritional program in Eat To Live. I am thrilled they agree.

    Good Book on Nutrition and Cancer

    I would rate this higher except the author gets very wordy and difficult to understand some of the passages. All in all however I still learned a high level of information on nutrition and cancer. I can still recommend this book.

    The nutritional truth for healing cancer.

    Whether you are looking at nutrition as an adjunct to modern cancer treatment or simply using nutrition as an alternative treatment, this is a great book. Lots of scientific references to back up the data. Good information on healing a body that has gotten out of balance through improper nutrition. Great read. Well written and easy for the non-medical person to understand.

    Great book for cancer patients

    I am a current cancer patient who is looking for alternative approaches to working with this disease. I have a Ph.D. in public health and I have been skeptical of a lot of the literature and websites on this subject. This book provides a balanced and well documented approach to examining the subject of nutrition and cancer. It is also easy to read and understandable for those who do not have an extensive science background. I particularly liked the fact that Quillin did not slam the conventional cancer treatments (as do some of the other books on alternative treatments), but suggests that nutritional approaches can work in concert with them. I am using some of what he suggests and have learned more from its reading.

    Very good book

    A friend advised me of this book so I bought it just hoping something in it would help. I am 2 years from my last chemotherapy treatment, but still fatigued and have poor circulation. I have already learned several things that will assist me in improving my health. The book is easy to read, has clear charts and data; but I really enjoy the updates on people. You hear so many things about something that will help your body. This book puts everything within a cover so you can easily look them up. I can't wait to fully implement all the data in this book.
