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.
