Challenging cancer one step at a time,
By Michael Manchon (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Challenge Cancer and Win! Step-By-Step Nutrition Action Plans for Your Specific Cancer (Paperback)
"Challenge Cancer and Win" is an invaluable book for anyone going through cancer treatment. The book is loaded with information about what foods do, how vitamins and supplements work, sample diets, and nutrition plans for specific cancers. A diagnosis of cancer left us feeling "out of control", but this book, written in a clear, easy to understand way has helped us to regain some control both during and after our treatment period.We really appreciate the positive, well-balanced approach Kim uses which allows the reader to choose "good", "better", or "best" as the steps to take while making practical nutritional and lifestyle changes. We were eating "good", but now we are eating "better" and feeling better as well. There are hints and recommendations for healthier eating, advice on handling side affects of treatment, details about the foods which support and build the body during chemotherapy, helpful charts and even recipes Our clinic has a copy of "Challenge Cancer" so others who are facing a diagnosis of cancer and treatment can reap the benefits of Kim's years of experience helping cancer patients. Having this book was almost like having a private "coach" to help us through our cancer treatment. We highly recommend "Challenge Cancer and Win" to anyone who wants a better understanding of how nutrition can affect cancer and who wish to become more pro-active in challenging their disease.

A must have for dietitians who see cancer patients!,
By Amy Harshman (Spokane, WA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Challenge Cancer and Win! Step-By-Step Nutrition Action Plans for Your Specific Cancer (Paperback)
"Challenge Cancer and Win! Step-By-Step Nutrition Action Plans for Your Specific Cancer" is a must have! Being a dietitian who consults with cancer patients on a regular basis I have found this book to be invaluable. It provides in depth, evidenced based nutrition recommendations for various types of cancer. As someone who has spent time researching to put all the pieces together to devise useful cancer nutrition plans I am so glad to have stumbled upon this book which had done just that! Better yet, the information is presented in a reader friendly manner.

Healthy for both of us!,
This review is from: Challenge Cancer and Win! Step-By-Step Nutrition Action Plans for Your Specific Cancer (Paperback)
My husband and I bought this book to help with his prostate cancer. He had a PSA does a couple months ago and it was down to 0.4! I also followed the diet and supplement plan to prevent the villous adenoma in my colon from becoming malignant. In the past, my checkups have shown regrowth. Now I have good news that I have had no regrowth and my dcotor told me to keep on doing what I was doing, don't change a thing. The guidelines in the book are easy to follow and we both consider this a critical lifestyle change. Another plus side is I've lost 38 lbs!
