Description

Product description:The World Health Organization estimates that of the 7.6 million cancer cases diagnosed worldwide each year, 30% are the result of poor diet.In Clean Food For Cancer, Tamaryn Sutherns attempts to give cancer patients and their families the opportunity to look at some ideas and theories on nutrition and diet so that they can make up their own minds about what works for them. Thorough research and expert advice from scientists, oncologists, dieticians and psychologists are interspersed with personal stories from cancer patients and their families, many of whom had to sift through masses of information (often conflicting) from a range of sources before they came up with personal solutions.After an overview of cancer, its types and causes, Sutherns introduces the concept of ‘clean’ eating, from the more moderate approaches of eating a balanced diet and avoiding preservatives, hormones and other harmful toxins (going ‘organic’), to the more extreme approaches of vegetarianism and veganism. She also touches on various alternative holistic therapies, such as Ayurveda and reiki, as supplements for the more traditional treatments of chemotherapy, surgery and radiation.Sutherns is not out to provide a cure or an alternative to medical treatment, but rather to encourage patients, or anyone at risk of cancer, to adopt a diet that promotes good health and that might assist the treatment and recovery processes. To this end, there are also a few recipes included, to kickstart the clean-eating approach.Author: Tamaryn Sutherns» Title: Clean food for Cancer» ISBN: 9781432301576 » Format: pdf» Release Date: August 2013
