From the Publisher
Other cancer and nutrition books focus on a one-size-fits-all, generalized approach to beating cancer--not Challenge Cancer and Win! With detailed, scientifically based diet and vitamin plans for sixteen specific cancers, this no-nonsense, effective guide to nutrition helps answer the question, "what can I do to beat MY KIND of cancer?" Challenge Cancer and Win! is a 2001 National Writer's Digest Self-Published Book Award winner and has been developed into a distance learning course for naturopathy and nutrition students worldwide.


From the Author
It's so easy to get overwhelmed and frustrated about all of the conflicting nutrition and cancer information that's available in books, on the internet and in the media. I wrote Challenge Cancer and Win! because I wanted to showcase the latest scientific findings about nutrition in a realistic diet and supplement program for cancer patients; my book takes the guesswork out of a nutritional program because it provides straight-forward real world advice about the foods and vitamins that have proven anti-cancer benefits. Over the years I've discovered what patients and family members really want to know--practical nutritional strategies that can be individualized to meet their specific needs. Challenge Cancer and Win! encourages, motivates, educates and reinforces healthy dietary and lifestyle habits.
