There are no words!
There are simply no words for me to describe the value of this book! I have a family member with cancer. We searched the bookshelves for advice on how to handle the "every day" of it all. We found Dr. Metz's book about half way through his treatments and we were instantly relieved. This book is packed full of "real life" advice from a "real life" doctor. He covers all of the topics we were afraid to ask our own doctor because well...we just felt dumb! Sometimes when you are just trying to save your life, you think you probably should just put up with the other stuff (as if nausea and pain were just a small price to pay for staying alive) Not so according to Dr. Metz. It seems that no question is stupid in his practice. He covers everything from alternative medicine to nausea with a simple honest conversational style. His patients are so lucky! Thanks Dr. Metz...you made us feel like we could get through this!

Perfect
This book was a great compliment to my treatment. Cancer is scary enough without having to try to decifer what takes physcicians 10 years to learn. The information in this "how to" type book, was consice to the point and covered a wide range of information including sexual problems and alternative medicines. I especially like the "workbook" at the end. No pull at the heartstring stories nor any "filler".Just good, easy to read information including where to get more information if so inclined. I would recommend this book to EVERYONE who has cancer or knows someone else with cancer.Great information with none of the "scary" stuff. ... Read more

Cancer prevention info in a clear, concise fashion.
I began this book with the premise that there was little more I could learn about diet and lifestyle regarding cancer.As a former cancer patient, I've read anything and everything I could get my hands on. However, I was surprised to find -- only a few pages into the book -- thatthere were concepts that I had either confused or distorted over the years. Concise and orderly, this book offers current theories and statisticalinformation on many aspects of cancer prevention in a clear andunderstandable fashion.But the best part is (because having usefulinformation is one thing, putting it to work is another) the recipe sectionwhich offers a wide assortment of really delicious dishes, from simple toexotic.it has actually convinced me -- a serious skeptic -- that it'spossible to serve food which is not only flavorful and interesting, buthealthful as well.

This book focuses on great foods that happen to be good.
Having read 4o% of all the recipes I was amazed at how tasty all of them were.The recipes are so favorful that you will find it hard to believe that these recipes are also healthy.I went to a bookstore and studied onerecipe (for a complete dinner) made the meal and was beyond pleased withthe finished product.The instructions are simple and the explanation ofwhy certain food in certain combos are beneficial made me change my why ofeating.This book is a must for anyone who just wants to enjoy a gooddinner.

medically accurate and interesting; great, flavorful recipes
I received this book during the book tour distribution.As a physician I am basically skeptical about books claiming to reduce cancer rates.I was pleasantly surprised by the scientific accuracy of the text. I've since made at least 7 of the recipes, all of which are wonderful!I have found it difficult to locate cookbooks that include easy, fast recipes with low fat and reasonable flavor.Too often the recipes are easy but the ingredients are hard to find; or, the recipe is easy and the taste is bland.This great book meets all of my needs.I really didn't want to like this book, but I love it!And I learned a lot about nutrition to boot! ...
