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 review is from: A Dietitian's Cancer Story: Information & Inspiration for Recovery & Healing from a 3-Time Cancer Survivor (Paperback)

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.

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

This review is from: A Dietitian's Cancer Story: Information & Inspiration for Recovery & Healing from a 3-Time Cancer Survivor (Paperback)

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!
