Book Description

Today, it is common knowledge that diet can play a significant role in preventing cancer. Numerous medical studies linking the modern high-fat, high-cholesterol diet with breast, colon, prostate, ovarian, and other forms of cancer have provided scientific support to the macrobiotic approach taught for the last thirty years by Michio Kushi and his associates. In Cancer-Free, the East West Foundation with journalists Ann Fawcett and Cynthia Smith presents further evidence that a naturally balanced macrobiotic diet can dramatically and positively influence the outcome of already existing cancers. This book contains personal accounts of thirty people from many walks of life--including housewives, business executives, a medical doctor, a registered nurse, an autoworker, a retired airline pilot, a stockbroker, a United Nations senior administrator--who recovered from a wide range of cancers, including breast cancer, colon cancer, stomach cancer, pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, prostate cancer, bone cancer, brain tumor, malignant melanoma, leukemia, and Hodgkin's disease. Besides personal narratives, Cancer-Free includes several medically documented cases of terminal cancer remission compiled by Vivien Newbold, M.D., a physician practicing in Philadelphia. This breakthrough study is a must for everyone with an interest in safe, effective natural approaches to health.
