Book Reviews of Beating Cancer with Nutrition, book with CD
Book Review: Fascinating and Helpful
Summary: 5 Stars
I have studied alternative medicine for quite some time, and one particular area of interest of mine is alternative cancer treatments. Even though I don't have cancer, I have lost family members to the disease, and would rather prevent cancer than have to face it later. "Beating Cancer With Nutrition" is probably the best book out there on treating cancer holistically, as it compiles information from a wide range of sources, and advocates using a variety of approaches to treat (and beat) cancer. These include orthodox therapies (chemo, etc) for reduction of tumor burden, nutrition, hyperthermia, diet, spirituality, psychology, and more. Related to diet, Quillan explains the effect of sugar consumption on cancer growth, and after reading the information, I am cutting down my sugar intake. Quillan cites studies to back up what he says, and his thorough approach to cancer treatment ensures that those with cancer will have virtually every weapon available to beat cancer, and treat its devastating effects, including cachexia.
As a nice bonus, Quillan's wife Noreen has compiled some healthy recipes that are pretty easy to prepare. The book also comes with a 72-minute audio CD that essentially covers the major points raised in the book. I enjoyed the CD and listened to it all the way through the first time I played it. At the end of the book, Quillan lists doctors who use nutrition in their practices, sorted by zip code. He also lists other resources for cancer patients, and provides charts with good and bad foods.
Overall, I highly recommend this book for cancer patients. I think Quillan provides a truly holistic approach to cancer treatment that promotes spiritual, physical, and emotional healing, while not rejecting the limited use of orthodox therapy. There are a few areas where I think the book could be improved. First, the design is very "busy." I suspect this is because there is so much information squeezed into one book. However, sometimes the layout looks bulky, and the charts, graphs, and images aren't always clear. Although all could be read, I couldn't always easily make out all the details on some of them. Second, I wish Quillan would have devoted more time to enzymes and cancer treatment. While he speaks positively of them, I would like to have seen more than four pages. I recommend "Enzymes: The Fountain of Life" by Miehlke, Williams, and Lopez, for more information. However, despite these minor drawbacks, I think this book provides a solid outline for beating cancer, although as always, any cancer patient should work with his or her doctor when developing a treatment plan.
Book Review: Evidenced Based Nutrition for Beating Cancer
Summary: 5 Stars
A few months ago, I was diagnosed with a stage two cancer. The recommended treatment was designed to remove as much of the cancer cells as possible but there was no treatment to boost my immune system, which the cancer had clearly overwhelmed. So after having read several books and many articles, I was getting discouraged to say the least. Most of the more evidenced based books I read are geared towards patients already in the chemotherapy stages and much less toward where I was. Others made statements but did not cite sources - something rather unharmonious with my values. Then I came across Dr. Quillin's book.
Based on available research, this book is clear and concise. Furthermore, the author cites the reputable sources he has based his statements on. This is an element which I appreciate greatly. I should also add, that he has put this into a supplementation system that he has created and is available.
While this book is geared toward those with cancer, I must recommend this to anyone looking for immune system boosting and healthy prevention alternative. With the increased cost of healthcare and medicine, we must consider nutrition as the pharmacology of not just the future but of today. Most of the diseases that we carry in our bodies come about because of poor eating habits, a lack of sufficient nutrition in our food sources, invironmental influences and poor life choices. Certainly there is now a genetic component for many as well. However, that was not my case nor is it for many others.
An note on the supplementation system: Based on this his research, Dr. Quillin has developed a product called ImmunoPower4.0 that is a collection of vitamins, minerals and other nutrients. At first I was a bit startled at the price but once I sat down and started to caculate the cost of buying all of them individually, it was clear that the ImmunoPower4.0 is much less expensive. After taking it for a few weeks, I noticed several other things in my health and body that improved that I had not realized were not working so well. So I have made this a part of my monthly budget and will continue to take it as long as it is available. And, by the way, my tests are now normal. My body is winning this fight.
It is my hope that anyone who is on a journey with cancer gives their body a fighting chance and finds peace in whatever choices they make. This resource is a good place to start.
Book Review: THIS BOOK IS MY BIBLE
Summary: 5 Stars
When I found that my prostate cancer had spread, I began a desperate search for good, credible information to help me.
Like many others before me, I had to sift through a lot of pseudo science and focus on what made sense and was grounded in fact.
And I was lucky, because I pulled Patrick Quillin's book randomly from many others in the bookstore, not knowing that what I had in my hands was to become my bible. So let me save you having to be lucky and tell you that this book is so thoroughly researched, so based in scientific knowledge and so clearly written, that it will lift your spirits to know you are in such good hands. Apart from the fundamentals that make for a healthy body and a strong immune system, this book is packed with information on anything and everything that has been shown to impact cancer.
Once you have your ducks in a row as far as good eating habits are concerned, you can go back to add endless extra weapons to your arsenal. A year after finding this gem, I am still doing just that. I take it wherever I go and I tell people about it. If all those suffering from the evils of cancer could get a hold of this book, cancer statistics would change dramatically and for the better!
I say this because mine did. In the first three months using 'Beating Cancer With Nutrition', I cut my PSA (cancer score) in half! And at nine months it is still going down! I should be on hormones according to my doctors, but I am not because my immune system, given the chance, can fight cancer. And I gave it that chance by following the ideas in this book.
There is no silver bullet 'cure' for my disease, but Patrick Quillin gives you all you need to know for your body to fight as it was designed to do. He also provides delicious recipes that incorporate the basic tenets, and astute scientific comments on all the foods you may be wondering whether you should eat. Do I recommend it? Does it work? I say a big yes and yes. Thank you Dr Quillin for turning dark despair into a spirited, hope-filled attack on cancer. We all need to spread the word about this wonderful book.
Book Review: Cancer can be beaten-this is the way
Summary: 5 Stars
I am a 48 year old former engineer who knew little about cancer when my wife was diagnosed with RCC in 2008. Like others we followed the docs instructions and rushed into surgery. Had I known then what I know now, we probably would have avoided the nephrectomy. Two months after surgery the cancer had metastasized to the lung and within three months it was in the liver and lymph nodes. Our experience with conventional treatment was a horrifying journey. My wife took a drug for just four days and I thought I was watching her die before me. That's when I began trying to find a way to save her. 'Beating cancer with nutrition' was an invaluable tool in our future. It is packed with valuable insight into the cancer epidemic and the industry that it developed as well as the importance of lifestyle choices that allowed cancer cells to overpower your immune system. The book is designed to educate the reader on optimal nutrition to improve the outcome in medically treated cancer patients. Patrick Quillin presents a mountain of useful information and recipes to boost the immune system and strengthen the body with diet. It's a very valuable resource and a good read, I can't emphasize this enough. I used what I learned from this book to further my research into natural therapy and combined what I had learned from the book as adjuvant therapy with natural supplementation for my wife. Between May 2009 and March 2010, my wifes tumor growth was reversed and she is now cancer free without suffering the horrible side effects of synthetic drug treatments or any permanent cellular damage. Our experience taught us so much that I have a book in publishing now called 'Cancer shouldn't kill you just make you smarter' and hope to have it at Amazon.com soon. I thank Patrick Quillin whole-heartedly for his book, it was the first step in my wifes cancer making me smarter, being able to reverse RCC and changing our lifestyle to prevent its reoccurance. If you yourself or someone you love has been diagnosed with cancer, you MUST get this book.Book Review: ESSENTIAL BOOK
Summary: 5 Stars
Dear Dr. Quillin,
The purpose of this email is firstly to thank you for writing "Beating Cancer with Nutrition". I am a prostate cancer survivor and have found that the material in your book along with much prayer has been my life saver. I elected not to have surgery and have had a reduced PSA for about 3 years. I can honestly say that cancer was one of the best things that ever happened to me.
And now for the second reason: As a result of my experience with cancer and the approach of trusting God and nutrition I have been frequently approached by folk who want to hear my story. I have always found it totally relevant to recommend your book and have had really good feedback about it and the CD. This has even carried to family overseas.
I am now at the stage where groups are asking that I would share a presentation to explain how the process of healing by nutrition works. I feel I should do this as there is just such a huge need for this information. So much of what you teach in your book is essential to what I need to say. I hope it is ok for me to quote from your book. I would in all cases suggest that folk purchase it as an ongoing reference source as they learn how to use the so very powerful tool of nutrition. I also wondered if it would be allowed to show some of your charts in a PowerPoint presentation.
I am very grateful for the testimony that I have of being cured of cancer and hope I can share this favorable experience with many other people.
My background is engineering and I have spent about 32 years in the food processing business. For many years it has amazed me how badly we destroy the foods that we process. So, I have in many ways an extra appreciation for making the most of foods as close to the natural state as possible.
