Summary: Review of Beating Cancer With Nutrition by Dr. Lieberman
Review: Having worked with cancer patients for more than 20 years, it is impossible to communicate most of what you know about diet, lifestyle and in particular nutritional supplementation to a patient in the several sessions you may have with them. Beating Cancer With Nutrition is a practitioners dream. If you are a health professional working with cancer patients this book explains in detail everything a cancer patient needs to know about food, lifestyle and most important, specific dietary supplements to boost the immune system and to selectively kill cancer cells. This book is also a godsend for anyone who has faced or is presently facing the diagnosis of cancer.

Review: I am a registered dietitian who has developed individualized nutrition plans for more than 3,000 cancer patients. I have found Dr.Qullin's book to be the most powerful tool for my patients.

Summary: A MUST READ!
Review: I bought this book for my dad. The first chapter condenses the book into a few pages in case the patient cannot read the entire book. It is great. The audio CD is perfect if you are unable to read or want to listen while in the car and use the book as a more in depth back up. This book clearly explains the why's and how's of GOOD and PROPER nutrition to fight cancer. Very intense and a great read. This book should be given to every patient experiencing cancer. There is HOPE! You do have a FIGHTING chance and here is how to use FOOD TO FIGHT.

Summary: A God-send!!
Review: I have one word for this book... incredible! The information given in this book is not only for the cancer patient, for but anyone who wants to stay healthy (thus preventing cancer). Dr. Quillin shares information for a healthy life in such a way that no one else ever has. One's spiritual life is renewed, as well as the physical. This is a MUST HAVE for every household. 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." Severe back pain and a total lack of energy kept me in bed for most of the day... weight loss was rapid. I began chemo in spite of little precedence for success in using chemo in liver cancer. One month after diagnosis, began using Immunopower (the nutritional supplement developed by Dr. Patrick Quillin). Within one month my health took a dramatic upward turn. 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. Thank you God and thank you Dr. Quillin for such an incredible book! BEATING CANCER WITH NUTRITION played an important role in my healing.

Summary: Important Help for Cancer Patients from Nutrition
Review: I have repeatedly found that cancer patients are eager to learn what they can do themselves to fight their illness. 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.

Summary: Good information for those who WANT to know the whole story
Review: I purchased this book for a friend with relapsed breast cancer in an effort to convince her to take simple steps to increase the effectiveness of the monoclonal antibody treatment she's having. 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. For those who need to be persuaded, there may be too much academic/medical info and the gems of "how to" info are difficult to pick out.

Summary: Great but....
Review: I was just recently diagnosed with cancer and Pat provides some great nutritional information, but when he starts promoting his high priced, high powered immunopower supplement it makes me wonder just what his motives are. Selling his supplements or helping cancer victims. I doubt most cancer patients will be able afford the price of Pat's supplements. Com'on Pat we are dying here. Give us break - a price break.

Summary: If someone in your life has cancer, this book is a must!
Review: I would like to first of all explain I am not a doctor, nurse or nutritionist. The only letters associated with my name are Mrs. I've been married to a wonderful man for the past 32 years and he was diagnosed with cancer five months ago. Not just in the colon, as we were originally told, but surgery found it in his liver, spleen, stomach, upper and lower intestines. The surgeon told us that there was too much cancer and he didn't want to start "cutting him up". I was not going to sit back and just let him be taken by cancer. I purchased "Beating Cancer with Nutrition" by Patrick Quillin, PHD, RD, CNS after reading a pamphlet, written by him, that I picked up at the local supermarket. I immediately started my husband on supplements that were recommended for the various symptoms he had. Our oncologist told us the liver is the best measure of the amount of cancer and that the tumors in the liver shrink in direct proportion to the amount of cancer in the rest of the body. The tumor on his liver was 13cm by 10cm at the time of the first CAT scan. His second CAT scan, four months later, shows it is now 9cm by 7cm. Yes, my husband is getting chemotherapy in addition to the healthy eating and supplements. He has gained back 20 of the 50 pounds he lost and is in better health than he has been in years. His tumor markers have dropped from 75.8 to 20.5 in 2 months. I have no reason to believe that he won't be free of cancer.
I have read this book from cover to cover and have seen what putting Dr Quillin's advice into use can do. If you, anyone you love, care about or know are faced with cancer, you owe it to yourself and to them to read this book, put his words to the test. It's not hard to understand. I have only a high school diploma and a strong desire to bring my husband back to health. All you need is a desire to beat cancer and as Dr Quillin says "Hope, Optimism and a Fighting Spirit".

Summary: The most comprehensive book on cancer available!
Review: I've been doing cancer research and seeing patients for years- It is unbelievable that potentially life-saving information is overlooked by physicians every day. Patrick Quillin has managed to pull together the information that doctors and patients NEED to know most. The book is concisely written for patients and well-referenced for physicians. WARNING: Beating Cancer with Nutrition is not for the average person- unfortunately, "ignorance is bliss." Many people are sitting back waiting for scientists to figure out why chemo and radiation aren't working, but refusing to take an active role in their healing process or listen to alternative theories. This IS THE PERFECT BOOK for those who want to make changes but don't know how or where to start. Patrick Quillin is undoubtedly one of the nation's leading experts on cancer!
