DEDICATION
I dedicate this book to my parents who have stood by me
through thick and thin, to members of my family who
have struggled with and died from cancer, and especially
to my cousin Elaine, who fought so courageously and was
an inspiration and shining example to all who knew her.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I am grateful to the Bristol Cancer Help Centre for having
commissioned me to compile the Nutrition and Cancer
Database, to the Journal of Alternative and
Complementary Medicine for asking me to write the
series of articles of which this book is a compilation, and
for being so reasonable to deal with throughout the series
and thereafter in publishing this book. I am also
appreciative of the warm wishes received from JACM
readers, and the fabulous moral support always provided
by my partner Mike.
