Beating Cancer with Nutrition: Optimal nutrition can improve outcome in medically treated cancer patients

Dr. Patrick Quillin has done it again. This is an outstanding book filled with vital information for your health. I myself am an orthopedic surgeon. I had an awakening over a decade ago. When I was in med school we were taught essentially nothing about nutrition. After my exposure to Dr. Quillin‘s work as well as others like him I completely changed my own behavior, my own health, and have now been able to improve the health of my patients. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in optimizing their immune system in an effort to battle cancer. But I would also recommend this book to anyone who wishes to slow or reverse essentially any chronic disease state. In fact, 90% of all pharmaceutical medication‘s come from a precursor found in nature. Natures pharmacy is real. You owe it to yourself and your family to become familiar with this information. In my opinion, Dr. Quillin‘s book is a great way do achieve this goal. Am I biased? Yes I am. Because along my own journey I had the honor of meeting Dr. Quillin personally. And I can attest to the fact that he is a truly brilliant person. This book as well as the others that he has written are money well spent.

I have been an Oncology RDN who has purchased this book and shared with patients over the last 20 years AND a cancer survivor who found the book a positive and beneficial resource.

Amazing, must have resource. It will empower the reader to take charge.

The information in this book is invaluable for Cancer patients. This is a holistic/ integrative approach that is vital for all cancer patients. The book explains in detail, backed by scientific studies, the role that nutritional support plays in cancer patients (and for anyone's overall health). Dr Quillin has a PhD in Nutrition, and many years of experience helping cancer patients. My mother followed the principles in his book, and had unusually good response during her cancer treatments. I also feel certain it enhanced her quality of life. I highly recommend this book.

This newly revised version of the classic Beating Cancer with Nutrition took me through all the steps necessary to enhance my health and thus my ability to prevent and reverse cancer. For the avid reader and student of nutrition, there are details on all the vitamins, minerals, herbs, and food extracts that can bolster the body's host defenses. A great chapter on recipes make the program nutritious and delicious. Overall, this book is a fabulous guide for the cancer patient and oncologist to harness the healing power of nutrition.

This is one of the best books I've read I had a sucessful debulking surger and am presently going thru 6 adjuvant chemo treatments. The Dietitican at the Cancer center told me to stop all my nutritional supplements during treatment I was taking some high quality ones that Dr. Quillin recommends I had so any questions regarding this and sent several emails to the Dietician she stopped responding all I kept getting was their not FDA approved finding this book is a gift from God!

This is a very good read for those suffering from a cancer diagnosis. The book is full of useful information and seeks to help people from all angles, despite its mostly nutrition-based stance. I definitely would recommend this to anyone who is fighting cancer or for a family member who is need of some informative literature on the subject.

I am aware that this author published earlier editions of this book, which is fine. However, putting out a "new edition" that contains 99% of the same information that appeared in earlier editions is a waste of paper.He references some of his claims with footnotes, which identify medical journal articles. The problem is that every one of the references is for journal articles that appeared in the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. There is nothing more recent.Anyone who understands cancer at all, or any kind of medicine in general, knows that references to journal articles that are more than two years old are outdated - plain and simple. And no references in this book are newer than 20 years ago!There have been literally tens of thousands of medical journal articles published since the last reference listed in this book, all of which update important food and supplement informational research, and many of which simply prove earlier research to be outdated and inaccurate.In addition, while the author mentions basic cancer treatments such as the "original three" - surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, he doesn't even bother to mention immunotherapy, which has taken the medical profession by storm in the last few years, and is working miracles for millions of cancer patients.In sum, if you are looking for a sweet book on what the history of natural cancer treatment looked like 20 years, ago, this might be a fun and nostalgic read.However, if you are looking for the most current and authoritative research, you won't find it in this book.
