The Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast Cancer: A Practical Manual for Understanding, Prevention and Care [Hardcover]

Dr. Sat Dharam Kaur ND (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 7, 2004

Despite the risk of developing breast cancer, many women still have a limited knowledge of its causes and prevention. The Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast Cancer uses the most recent research studies and clinical evidence to explain the causes of breast cancer and techniques for its prevention.

Some of the topics covered are:

• Comprehensive explanations for the causes of breast cancer -- hereditary, hormonal, environmental
• Identifiable environmental risks
• Self help detoxification programs, diet plans and herbal recommendations
• Natural medicine strategies which complement conventional medical treatments and promote recovery
• Psychological support

Protective factors are highlighted and valuable exercises and worksheets for breast care are included, such as The Breast Health Balance Sheet, an extensive questionnaire that helps to determine risk factors.

Written in an empathetic and accessible style, The Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast Cancer is an excellent resource for women seeking breast cancer information.

Review

Library Journal's 'Twelve Books for Breast Cancer Awareness Month': Therapies to complement traditional treatment. Lots of boxes, headnotes, and factoids. (Bette-Lee Fox Library Journal 20040915)

[Kaur's] advice is equally helpful for women who are trying to prevent breast cancer as those who have it. (The American Herb Association v.22(3) 200408)

Writing is straightforward and a glossary at the beginning of the book provides easy access to medical and technical definitions. (Peg Burnette E-Streams )

Equally helpful for women who are trying to prevent breast cancer as those who have it. (American Herb Association Quarterly )

I highly recommend that every woman and every library get a copy. (Dr. Carolyn De Marco MD, author of Take Charge of Your Body )

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential information for women, September 7, 2005

Dr. Kaur's book contains a wealth of information for all of us. When I picked up this book I had no idea how helpful it would be in my own battle with breast cancer. The information is detailed, well referenced and so attractively organized and presented that you feel a very personal touch coming through. I recommend this book to women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer as well as those interested in making positive changes in their lifestyle aimed at preventing breast cancer. If you get one book, this is all you will need. Dr. Kaur is clearly someone with great integrity who has uncovered every aspect of this issue. As a medical doctor, my own perspective has changed and I have recommended this book to many of my collegues.

Sat Dharam Kaur explores cancer from every angle - from heredity to toxic load to diet to spiritual well being. Cancer does NOT have to happen and we really can control our own health. Truly the most informative book out there on how to prevent breast cancer or heal yourself if you have already been stricken with this terrible disease. There is hope. Thank you Dr. Kaur for having the courage to write such a bold and wonderful offering to the women of the world!

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for EVERYONE, August 27, 2008

This book is amazing! I got it at the library originally, wasn't really interested but it looked fairly new so I thought, why not? Once I opened the cover, I knew I had to have a copy of my own!!

First off this book is NOT telling you not to have medical treatment-as a matter of fact, it supports it completely. What it is saying is what you can do holistically in ADDITION to your medical treatment.! This book is a must for everyone not just those with breast cancer! It tells you what to eat to prevent cancer...Green Tea is like Magick!! What to eat to rid your body of unwanted radiation. What to consume when you go thru Chemo. It lists different foods, drinks, and herbs and tells their medicinal benefits.

What a great book!! If you don't believe me, go to your local library first and check it out...you'll soon be ordering it thru Amazon yourself!! :)
