From the Back Cover

A breakthrough twenty-step program for reducing your breast cancer risk by up to 90 percent!

--Includes exciting news about a safe form of hormone replacement therapy

Do you know that only 20 to 30 percent of breast cancer is due to heredity? That means that most forms of breast cancer can be avoided. Unfortunately, most doctors are unaware of the latest findings about what causes breast cancer and how women can protect themselves. Based on Dr. Edward Conley's original research, as well as landmark scientific studies, this book delivers a complete twenty-step breast cancer prevention plan that includes information on:

• Simple, inexpensive tests that measure how at-risk you are
• Vitamins and supplements that can bolster your breast-cancer suppression genes
• Antioxidants that naturally protect your breasts from the causes of breast cancer
• Delicious and inexpensive foods that cut breast cancer risk by up to 50 percent
• How to avoid or neutralize chemicals and food additives that increase your risk
• A safe form of estrogen that controls menopausal symptoms without increasing your breast cancer risk

5.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for breast cancer prevention worries, October 4, 2005

By	DJ "hate2clean" (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

I borrowed this book from my local library and went to Amazon to purchase it, it is that informative. I am concerned about breast cancer (with a family history) and am currently on Tamoxifen to prevent breast cancer. I wanted some answers about using preventative drugs like this and possible alternatives. This book has the information I need to further discuss this with my doctor. It explains diet, supplements and testing in a technical manner but it also summarizes everthing more simply at the end of each step. There is a great explanation of estrogen, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Voted Breast Cancer Prevention Book of the Year 2005, October 19, 2005

By	special K - See all my reviews

This book has been voted book of the year by the American Breast Cancer Prevention Foundation for 2005. We feel very strongly that every woman should read this book. We no longer agree with American doctors who wait until you have breast cancer and then fight a "war" on that cancer...a war that has 200,000 casualties per year. The very best treatment for breast cancer is to never get it in the first place and that's why we recommend DR Conley's book so strongly.
