Product Description
Beating Cancer with Nutrition. Sugar feeds Cancer: diet and supplements can starve tumors· Nutrition makes chemo and radiation more toxic to the tumor while protecting the patient. Nutrition changes underlying causes of cancer, improving outcome for cancer patients regardless of other therapies. Why Beating Cancer with Nutrition is unique: The book was developed after working with over 500 cancer patients and organizing 3 international symposiums on the subject. The information contained in BCN is both scientifically backed with references and clinically proven in the hospital with patients. This information helps cancer patients to improve quality and quantity of life. BCN had been translated into Japanese and Chinese and is being translated into Korean. BCN had become a home study continuing education course for registered nurses. BCN 2001 version will contain a 72-minute audio CD version in response to the requests from tired cancer patients who said they needed and audio version of the book to get started. BCN had sold 110,000 copies in 7 years in print, which is impressive for small publishers. Why Patrick Quillin is Unique: For the past 10 years, Dr. Patrick Quillin has served as the Director of Nutrition for Cancer Treatment Centers of America. He is an internationally respected expert in the area of nutrition and cancer. He has earned his bachelor's, Master's and doctorate degrees in nutrition and is a registered and licensed dietitian ( RD & LD) and Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) with the American College of Nutrition.

 Beating Cancer with Nutrition July 30, 2010
Jean Stucky (IN)
Absolutely essential for anybody diagnosed with cancer or for those who want to prevent cancer. Specifics are spelled out why organic veggies & fruit are best for health and healing and what to avoid. What to do and why -- very convincing so you know how to become NED (No Evidence of Disease). This book is a must as the place to start! Use as a referrance until it is worn and ragged!
Interesting, well researched and just plain eyeopening... July 27, 2010

Liked it so much to translate it to Croatian language July 25, 2010
Domagoj Petrovic (Europe, Croatia)
First, I want to tell you all that I valued this book so high that I decided do translate it and publish in Croatian language (my native). And I am not in publishing business or doing it for selling profit. This effort started year ago and I hope it will be on shelves shortly (Croatian title will be "Rak pobijedite prehranom"). Also, I want to thank Dr. Quillin for giving me his approval.
I got interested in subject of nutrition in treatment of cancer indirectly and have started reading different information sources on the subject. Information in this book is consistent with many other sources. What makes this book special is quality, quantity and density of information presented for layman reader to understand, believe and follow. It is 400 page book written by the PhD MD whose life-time profession is exactly of that topic.
If you think I am beating my drum giving this book 5 star review, just read the reviews. Read those personal testimonies on life-death situations, choose option "Newest First" instead of "Most Helpful First", and see average experience people have with it. In this light my review kind-of don't deserve to be listed.
I can also recommend another book "Anticancer, A New Way of Life, New Edition" by David Servan-Schreiber (someone translated this one to Croatian language and it is available to buy).
Practical, helpful advice! July 21, 2010

My husband was diagnosed in June '08 with Multiple Myeloma at the age of 48. He was otherwise healthy and active, however, he had a horrible diet and had for many years. He traveled extensively and often didn't make it home for dinner. When he was diagnosed it was a tailspin for us both. There is a lot of information, and a lot of it is unrealistic, incorrect, or impractical at best. Patrick Quillin's book was the most common sense, straightforward, forgive yourself, approach to improving my husband's diet without overwhelming me. I read his book and loved all the patient profiles he included. They were inspirational. I decided that we would simply "begin". I would add good things and good foods to his diet, bit by bit, in a gradient manner that I could manage. We are now more than 2 years out from diagnosis and treatment and my husband has, on his own, given up all the crap and enjoys all the better foods he is eating. He continues to be recovering extremely well from all his treatments. I highly recommend this book!
No Cancer...But June 24, 2010

I do not have cancer; but I never want it. I am a senior citizen (73YO) with a terrible family health history. I have two stents and try to monitor my health regularly. Lately, I have been feeling ill with almost constant head aches, sleepiness, and lack of energy. A recent nuclear stress test could find no reason for concern. As with many senior citizens, my eating habits are to eat whatever is fast and convenient. I picked up this book knowing that my eating habits were killing me and if proper nutrition helps persons with cancer it could help me. After one week of following many of the recommendations in the book, most of my health complaints are gone or drastically improved; I was working in my garden at 6:00am this morning. There are many scientifically sound facts in this book that the average person does not know and not knowing can kill you. I like Dr. Quillin's practice of telling you that if certain studies suggest a conclusion he states that the studies only suggest that conclusion. Many books claim that one certain food is the magic bullet for optimal health. Dr. Quillin's approach is that many facets of nutrition and life style affect your total health and "one size does not fit all." I firmly believe that the contents of this book should be required study in every high school.
