The information contained in BCN is both scientifically backed with references and clinically proven in the hospital with patients.

A well-nourished cancer patient can better manage and beat the disease. The 32 year "war on cancer" has cost $50 billion in government research with a resulting increase in the incidence and death rate from cancer. Chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery can temporarily reduce tumor burden, but these therapies do not change the underlying causes of the disease. Comprehensive cancer treatment must include an aggressive nutrition component, which can increase life expectancy by 12 to 21 fold along with better chances for complete remission. In this major revision of the bestseller, Dr. Patrick Quillin shares his extensive and very practical experience in helping hundreds of cancer patients with a nutrition program of diet and supplements, including: * nutrients make chemo and radiation more toxic to the cancer and less damaging to the patient * starving the cancer by controlling blood glucose through diet and supplements * common vegetables, herbs, and seasonings that have powerful anti-cancer activity * completely new section of delicious recipes that can be made with foods from your grocery store * how to find the underlying causes of your cancer * newly updated section on effective and non-toxic approaches to medically reducing cancer burden * newly updated section listing nutritionally-oriented
The author, Dr. Quillin, spent 10 years as vice president of nutrition for a nationwide network of cancer hospitals, having counseled thousands of cancer patients and working with oncologists to provide synergism between medicine and nutrition. Quillin also organized 3 international scientific conferences on nutrition and cancer, edited the textbook ADJUVANT NUTRITION IN CANCER TREATMENT, and has many legitimate credentials in clinical nutrition (bachelor's, master's, doctorate degrees in nutrition; registered and licensed dietitian (RD); certified nutrition specialist (CNS)) to support the credibility of this book. BEATING CANCER WITH NUTRITION has become the definitive book on this subject, was a bestseller on amazon.com in 1999, has been translated into 5 other languages, and has received high praise from cancer patients and doctors alike. Originally published in 1994, this book had complete rewrites and updates in 1998, 2001, and the most current version in 2005. This book empowers the patient to be a part of their own recovery from cancer. The positive reviews from cancer patients and family members posted on amazon.com speak for themselves. This program works.
