Editorial Reviews

Review

The 4th edition of A Dietitian's Cancer Story's forty pages are crammed with informative and useful recommendations for developing a healthy diet that can also reduce the risk of cancer. This is an ideal book for anybody wanting to start "eating right", but who has no idea where to begin. Dyer provides specific diet recommendations such as the amount of fat and fiber to include daily and then gives information on how to achieve these goals with sample menus, realistic suggestions for incorporating nontraditional foods and ways to integrate the diet into family meals. She even provides a grocery list of healthy items to stock, of which most are available at regular grocery stores. -- OncoLink, July 25 1998

This book is arguably one of the best distillations of useful information I have seen pertaining to healthful approaches for individuals with cancer. -- David Eisenberg, MD - Director, Center for Alternative Medicine and Research, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston, MA


Product Description

The author describes her "integrated" approach to a successful recovery from her most recent cancer diagnosis. Her approach combines conventional cancer therapy with significant nutritional changes and other healing methods from complementary medicine. The book also includes a helpful annotated resource list for cancer patients. The newest 5th edition has been expanded to include an extensive chapter on "Dining Out and Maintaining Your Anti-Cancer Diet" along with other updated information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Diana Dyer is a Good Teacher, July 13, 2000
By Patricia J. Anderson (Fort Riley, KS) - See all my reviews
This would be a very helpful book for anyone who wants to improve her or his nutrition, regardless of whether they have cancer or not. The author starts out by teaching the reader how to have a well balanced diet - information everyone needs to know. One of the things I like best about the book is that she acknowledges that research on nutrition and cancer is incomplete, but then goes on to discuss how to include foods that have been shown to be possibly helpful in preventing cancer. The book is packed with useful information and helpful hints to make the dietary changes easier and more enjoyable. Reviewed by Patricia J. Anderson, MN, RN, Editor: Breast Cancer News, Author, Breast Cancer: A Patient Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars I found this book to be informative,engaging,&inspirational, February 17, 1999
By A Customer
Diana's perspective is truly unique, as she is someone who is not only a health professional but also has firsthand experience with both traditional and complementary approaches to cancer treatment. Her book is packed with not only Diana's personal story but also informative, useful advice for reducing cancer risk and for treatment......I found this book to be both engaging and inspirational. This book would be an invaluable resource for anyone interested in cancer prevention or treatment and recovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Excellent " Book on Nutrition & Cancer, May 20, 2001
By Dianne "Dianne" (Fresno, CA) - See all my reviews
WOW!! This impressive book is for the person who desires to "optimize" their own health. Diana, a Registered Dietitian, and survivor of THREE episodes of cancer herself, discusses the on-going and evolving state of nutrition research and how she uses that information to determine her own "optimal diet" to treat/prevent cancer recurrence. She discloses how she has implemented good nutrition and complementary therapies into her everyday life. She shares her own recipes, serving sizes, sample menus, tips for eating 9+ servings of fruits and vegetables, recipe book sources, her own personal grocery list, dining-out tips, and newsletter, book & internet resource listings. Don't pass up this great help-yourself book!
