Book Reviews of Beating Cancer with Nutrition, book with CD
Book Review: I believe this program definitely works and has merit..
Summary: 5 Stars
I am now a beleiver of the approach and of the Immunopower recommended by Dr.Quillen. My husband was diagnosed with kidney cancer this past year- a total surprise to us as he was initially in the ER for a possible appendicitis scare. The kidney tumor found by accident was measured as at least .50 cm and was said to be (by a top specialist and teacher at a very excellent hospital)to be "very, very, very aggressive in nature-a Furhman grade 3 and possibly a 4" from its appearance on the CAT scan.
I had picked up this book just browsing in a local bookstore before his surgery was to be take place in a month-I figured"Why not?" and ordered the Immunopower. I was fortunate enough to have my husband agree to not only take the Immunopower, but also to follow the eating plan advocated by Dr.Quillen. The good news-the tumor was found to be smaller than initially measured causing it to be Staged at 1 B-and the best news ever-the Fuhrman grade was a 2-and the surgeon said" I am pleased and happily surprised to report that the pathology report showed the Fuhrman grade was Grade 2 and not anywhere as aggressive as I initially thought it to be". We were so fortunate in that the laproscopic surgery to remove his left kidney resulted in the surgeon being able to extract the entire tumor encased in a layer of fat.( While that was not related to Dr.Quillens work, but to some Higher Power and good fortune,) I do believe the Immunopower reduced the aggressiveness of the tumor in a very short time in this case.
Book Review: Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
I had gotten this book back in January of 2007, when my mother-in-law had colon cancer. I was the one taking care of her after her surgery and this book was very informative and very helpful. The diet that was given to my mother-in-law after surgery was terrible. Lots of canned food and hidden surgars. They wanted her to gain weight, but the way they were trying to achieve this was absolutely horrible. This book came in handy for me and I was able to change her diet completely. The only thing that she hasn't been able to give up is ice-cream, but other than that we used this book as a bible to help her get healthy.
The doctors wanted her to have kemo and radiation since her cancer marker were so high before the surgery and were still above the mark that they reccomend for treatment, but my mother-in-law decided that since her lymph nodes and all the tissure around the tumor was negative of cancer, she opted out. With diet we were able to bring her markers under the mark that they recommend treatment. I gave her the book and then recently bought another for me to have here at home. They test her blood every three months and every six she has other tests and so far she is doing remarkably well. The doctors are very impressed with her. She also is now walking about six miles a day. She says that walking really makes her feel good and she has her routine that she does, rain or shine.
Thank you Mr. Quillin for writing this book.
Book Review: The Book That Saved My Life!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best book that I have ever read! It can save your life, Patrick Quillin explains the good and bad foods to eat when you have Cancer or any other disease. He also tells you what supplements are good to take when you are fighting Cancer. His book is loaded with excellent information that is not only good for people with a disease but if you just want to be healthy. His wife has also added healthy recipes that are quick and easy to prepare. The book comes with a CD that is an added bonus, you can listen to it before you read the book! I found his book when I was fighting Cancer, I wanted a book that was more of a natural thing so I purchased his. I now use Food as my Medicine, I have had Cancer twice and Seven surgeries. The second time I got Breast Cancer I refused Chemo and did the 100% lifestyle change, Today I am a very Healthy and Happy person. My doctors are amazed that after refusing Chemo that my tumor markers are all normal. Thank you Dr. Quillin, for writing such a life saving book, Thank you from the bottom of my Heart.!
I am so thrilled to be around for my two boys and see them grow up! If you have Cancer, this is one of the most important books that you can buy. It is well worth every penny for it! I have purchased this book for friends that have Cancer. I am also thrilled that now I am writing my own book to tell you my life story!
Thank You,

Book Review: Useful information, but anti-medical
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is very useful -- technical information is written in a way that is easy for a "lay reader" to understand. The most important message I got from this book is that "cancer feeds on sugar; stop eating sugar!" I had no idea until I read this book, and I have heard/read that numerous times since.
My only problem with this book is how "anti-doctor" it seems to be. I admit that doctors treat cancer with medicine, and that they do not discuss nutrition with patients very much, if at all. Doctors TRUST medicine and clinical studies. I believe nutrition is just as important as medicine in beating MY cancer, but I'm not going to turn my back on my oncologist. As much as I hate chemotherapy, I believe it has been THE key in controlling and beating my cancer. I wish the medical community and the nutritionist could come together -- we need joint research and cooperation. Not an "us and them" mentality.
Finally, this book suggests a slew of supplements that are claimed to beneficial for cancer patients. Talk each of these decisions over with your doctor. If you doctor will not talk to you about supplements, then find a new doctor! But do not begin taking a bunch of OTC remedies without consulting someone -- herbs/vitamins can interfere with traditional cancer regimes; herbs/vitamins that are taken simutaneously can cause adverse side affects. Be informed, but be careful and do keep seeing your doctor!
Book Review: If you have cancer, you MUST buy and read this book!
Summary: 5 Stars
My name is Dr. Douglas Husbands ([...]) and I've been practicing holistic health care for about 2 decades. As a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Chiropractor and Functional Medicine health practitioner, I have many patients who seek my help for multiple health problems including cancer. I always recommend that any patient who has cancer purchase, read and immediately begin to implement the recommendations Dr. Quillin makes in his book. This is THE most excellent, straightforward, easy to read self-help book with practical, scientifically-supported and valid information designed for anyone with cancer and no prior background in nutrition or health care. It should even be standard reading for many medical oncologists, which would result in many people's lives being saved!
I recently found out I have a relative with cancer who lives too far away from me to provide adequate care for. Besides referring them to a holistic health care colleague closer to where they live, I've advised them to immediately purchase, read and implement the advise outlined by Dr. Quillin in Beating Cancer With Nutrition. If you have cancer, or want to prevent it, buy this book and take the steps outlined NOW!
Lastly, I get no financial benefit from recommending this book, but I feel so strongly about this that I wholeheartedly urge anyone with cancer to benefit from the recommendations provided in the book.
