Beating Cancer with Nutritionby Patrick Quillin List Price: $24.95 Available from Amazon $15.72 On 7-21-2006 
See Item's Page From Library Journal 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, but some sections seem misplaced or redundant, and charts and graphs occasionally lack an identified source and are difficult to read. 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. Lib, Pennsylvania State Univ. Copyright 1998 Reed business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. Linus Pauling, PhD, Nobel laureate Dr. Quillin's book should be of value to every cancer patient. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title. |
