5.0 out of 5 stars Taking reasonable preventative measures, January 17, 2004

By	Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: New Hope Avoiding Lung Cancer: Give the Gift of Longer Life to Someone You Love (Paperback)

Authoritatively written by Noel L. Griese (a former director of the Georgia chapters of the American Cancer Society and American Lung Association), New Hope: Avoiding Lung Cancer is a straightforward and soundly presented informational guide to improving one's health and taking reasonable preventative measures to stop from contracting or succumbing to the deadly disease of cancer. From the necessity of quitting the use of tobacco products immediately; to positive diet and nutrition changes in one's life specifically to reduce cancer risk; to matters of stress and exercise; avoiding environmental carcinogens; and more, New Hope: Avoiding Lung Cancer is strongly recommended reading -- especially for anyone with a family history of this terrible disease.
