The book does contain dietary suggestions that make a lot of sense. The general dietary guidelines are as follows: increase your consumption of fish, whole grains, legumes, cabbage, vegetables, nuts, and fruits and; decrease your consumption of meats, dairy, total fat, saturated fats, refined sugar, total calories and alcohol. It is difficult to argue with this advice. It just makes good sense for all of us.There is an entire chapter in the book dedicated to making your body a hostile environment for the development of cancer. The principles that they outline would be healthy additions to most American's lifestyle. The gist is that if your body is properly nourished and hydrated your own immune system will be able to fight off the DNA mutations as they occur. There is another chapter dedicated to lifestyle and dietary changes to prevent particular types of cancer. This would be helpful if a specific cancer seems to run in your family.
The book was well organized and researched. The author provides very detailed protocols for treating cancer with natural substances. The book contains 33 pages of endnotes should you choose to do any additional research on your own. At the very least the book will give the patient a sense of empowerment and optimism about their future.
