Nutrition
and Cancer:
State of the
Art will save
countless lives
and reduce needless
suffering by
bringing the
latest health
advances to
the attention
of both health
professionals
and the public.
Here, many readers
will find the
precise information
that will be
life-saving
to them. This
vital information
may also serve
humanity in
a manner not
directly intended
by Dr. Goodman.
The facts in
this book, gleaned
from many thousands
of scientific
and medical
articles, may
become the database
used to prevent
the political
blunder that
could otherwise
take away free
access to the
effective nutrients
that the public
needs for optimal
health. Thus,
this book is
doubly timely,
firstly because
it presents
life-saving
information
to readers and
secondly because
it presents
information
that the public
can call to
the attention
of the Ministry
of Health to
dissuade them
from allowing
the United Kingdom
to downgrade
its health policies
to the lowest
common denominator
of the EC where
dietary supplements
are often restricted
to ineffective
dosages.
In Nutrition
and Cancer:
State of the
Art, Dr. Goodman
succinctly condenses
over 5000 scientific
and medical
research reports
on nutrition
and cancer alone.
This is no easy
task but Dr.
Goodman clearly
distils the
important facts
from the background
information
with sufficient
detail and references
to satisfy professionals
without too
much information
to confuse or
bore the general
reader.
Unfortunately,
too many physicians
in practice
are unaware
of the extensive
depth of evidence
about nutrients
preventing and
alleviating
many deadly
diseases. These
reports are
beginning to
trickle down
to the practising
physicians but
they often have
the feeling
that this research
is only elementary,
fragmentary
and not meaningful.
This misconception
is largely due
to the fact
that medical
school curricula
have little
involvement
with nutrition
as almost all
of the available
time is allotted
to basics, drugs
and surgery.
Nutrition and
Cancer: State
of the Art will
be a fascinating
guide to the
practitioner
who wishes to
enter the new
nutrition and
health information
superhighway.
Through her
professional
newsletters
and scientific
articles, Dr.
Goodman has
raised the awareness
of many health
professionals
as to the experimentally
increasing evidence
of the role
of nutrients
in health.
When
one considers
the many scientific
and medical
contributions
of Dr Sandra
Goodman PhD,
two of the most
important are
her scholarship
and ability
to educate both
professional
and public alike.
In this book,
she continues
to break new
ground as she
did so effectively
in Vitamin C:
The Master Nutrient.
Examples of
this new ground
includes her
discussion of
the role of
Coenzyme Q-10
in overcoming
breast cancer,
adjunct and
alternative
therapies and
many other newly
discovered relationships
between food
components and
cancer.
This
book is aptly
named because
her research
keeps her at
the state of
the art and
she integrates
the new knowledge
from the research
frontiers into
the core of
existing knowledge
in a manner
that clarifies
so well the
steps that must
be taken by
individuals.
This is a strong
point of the
book. Her entire
approach is
'person-centred'.
She does not
advocate imposing
a dietary regime
on patients
in the manner
that practitioners
often impose
drug or surgical
treatments.
Since every
person is unique
by virtue of
his/her genetics,
personality,
biochemistry
and life style,
she teaches
the reader how
to adapt the
latest research
findings to
each individual.
