BEATING CANCER WITH NUTRITION 2001
version
>“I have one word for this book: incredible! I was diagnosed with inoperable
liver cancer in October of 1999 at the age of 22. Told by numerous doctors that
there was “no hope.” By January of 2000 the tumor had shrunk by 50%. Two
months later, it had diminished by half again. I am now totally healed… a cancer
survivor.” reader from Creston, Ohio
>“This book is the lifeline for anyone diagnosed with cancer. My father was
diagnosed in January 2003 with renal cell carcinoma, metastatic. The doctors
gave him less than 6 months to live. Since reading and following the wonderful
examples and advice in this book, my father is now working and living a
productive life. The doctor was amazed. Since he had had heart surgery and was
a diabetic, many treatment options were not available. Other than interferon, he
only utilized the information in Dr. Quillin’s book. That was enough to stop the
cancer growth and give him another chance at life. Thank you Dr. Quillin for
this wonderful book.” Cynthia Haire, Okinawa, Japan
>“This wonderful book gives them powerful tools. By learning to modify their
diets and to utilize nutritional supplements, they can work as partners with their
doctor in their own treatment.” Melvyn R. Werbach,MD from Tarzana, CA
>“As an oncology nutritionist, I use the nutritional approaches described in Dr.
Quillin’s book on a daily basis. Science tells us they work. My patients’ results
show me they work. If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, you owe it to
yourself to pick up a copy today.” Kim Dalzell, PhD, RD, LD
>“…This book is also a godsend for anyone who has faced or is presently facing
the diagnosis of cancer.” Dr. Shari Lieberman from New York, NY
>“…This is a wonderful book, your roadmap for taking charge of your health
and defeating your illness. Buy it immediatly, get out some paperclips and a
highlighter and change your life.” Mike Hudgins from Kaneohe, Hawaii
>“This IS THE PERFECT BOOK for those who want to make changes but don’t
know how or where to start.” Laurie K. Mischley
>“There is loads of good, important content here for those who have the energy,
interest, desire to become educated about their disease and alter their
lifestyle/eating habits to battle it.” bullysgirl from NY
lifestyle/eating habits to battle it.” bullysgirl from NY
>“The best book I’ve read regarding cancer and nutrition. A must have for
anyone wanting to improve their health via nutrition regardless if you have
cancer or not. Honestly, you must read this book if you are caring for a cancer
patient or if you want to improve your diet. Two thumbs up!” Maryann Jaeger
from New Jersey
>“All of the nutrition we have read about in this book has not only helped my
husband get through Chemo and bone marrow transplant beautifully but is
continuing to help our whole family to be healthier. This book is quite a teaching
tool, for preventative or after diagnosis if you believe in another way.” Francie
Bente from Dover, Ohio
UNSOLICITED PRAISE FROM OUR READERS:
“…I love this book…Thank you for this book!!!” L.S.
“Your book has been my guideline for the past 16 months. A recent visit to my
urologist revealed a PSA of 0.4 (125% reduction). Also, he was unable to feel
any tumor. Beating prostate cancer in 16 months is a tribute to your nutritional
approach.” L.A.
“I’ve used your book like a bible. I’ve learned many things since my original
diagnosis, but your book has been one of the greatest helps.” S.R. “I have
purchased and read your book with great interest and gratitude, as it is
impeccably researched and written.” B.P.
“Just wanted to let you know that my wife is doing great. She was diagnosed in
August with invasive ductal carcinoma, with node involvement. After 4 rounds
of chemo her lymph nodes were clean -- 100%! We’re pretty sure that the
supplements you recommended had a lot to do with her positive outcome. Just
wanted to say thank you for all of your books -- they’ve really been the
foundation for her treatment program, and, we feel anyway, the reason for her
positive response.” G.W.
“Thank you for all your help in your terrific book.” M.O.
“Your book is great. I have survived 6 1/2 years (ovarian cancer stage III) and,
with the help of a naturopath, have been taking supplements and taking care with
my diet. Your strategies have now been added to my arsenal of defense tools.”
C.L.
“Your book became our nutritional bible in fighting multiple myeloma. The
dragon-slayer drink into which we add nutritional supplements has made pill-
taking much easier. I am a survivor.” R.F.
“Your recipes in the book are delicious!” H.M.
“Your book was outstanding. I thought I knew a lot, but I learned a lot more
from you. I don’t expect to “hear” from my own cancer again.” E.H.
“In August 98 I was diagnosed with testicular cancer. After reading your book I
started up a series of changes in my life style. After orchiectomy was done I
decided not to go under chemo and followed instead a natural approach. I am
doing pretty well. I already had a metastasis in the retroperitoneal area and this
tumor has been decreased drastically.” J.S.
“My husband was diagnosed this year with eye malignant melanoma that has
now metastasized on his liver. We have purchased your book and it has helped
us more than any other means of information. We have devoured your book
us more than any other means of information. We have devoured your book
(good fiber) and refer to it all the time.” CF.
“First of all your book is the best on the subject. We know, we’ve read them all.
My wife was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer in December 1999. She feels
fantastic and super charged.” K.S. “I read your book and credit it with helping
my 37 year old husband overcome non-hodgkins lymphoma which was
misdiagnosed for over 6 months.” M.K.
“…helping me to eat better to prevent a recurrence. Now in my 6’ year.” S.O.
