The Cancer Prevention Diet, Revised and Updated 25th Anniversary Edition Paperback – Illustrated, August 17, 2005

This is my of a few such books I’ve bought to read while beginning my cancer therapy journey. The doctor seems well experienced and informed. He does not dispute the value of traditional therapies (chemo, radiation, surgery) while adding the potential value of integrative approaches.I also appreciate the caution in extreme therapies such as curing with diet alone. The doctor indicates such therapies are extremely rare cases, or not properly and fully documented. In other words, disinformation!If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer, or have a family member or friend who has, you will benefit from the information in this book from beginning to end. Do your research from many sources, so you can balance and weigh the information more objectively. Lastly, the book helps understand various potential treatment possibilities, and helps to improve communication with care providers.Be informed! Not all cancer is the same, and not everyone’s treatment is always the same.

I have 20 yrs natural healing from breast cancer, and along with the Canadian herbal teas to cleanse my blood of toxins, I used the Macrobiotic Way to good health. I completely changed my diet, tastes for certain food, and lifestyle I had Michio's chapter a day to update my personal Macrobiotic path. I felt the best ever in my life when I was strictly macrobiotic. Twenty years ago, it was difficult to do. ...Easier now, as more people are convinced that "Food IS our medicine!" First said by Socrates, and a profound backbone to Macrobiotic teachings. Micho DID go to Washington to be honored by Congress for the changes he and his family have brought to the USA. And the Smithsonian has opened a wing dedicated to this.first book, and it became like a bible, telling me what to do for every kind of cancer imaginable. I sought the help of a macrobiotic counselr, Lino Stanchich, and at one point went to MA to be seen by Michio Kushi. After a long time, I dared to lend out my first book by Michio, the predessor to this one. Unfortunately, I have forgotten to who I loaned it, and it has never come home to me. Perhaps it is "fortunately" it has not, because that prompted me to order Michio's new book. His fascinating, explicit recounting of all the progress cancer healing has undergone is fascinating. He still gives advice for different cancers. This is a great book, although I'd like to see my earlier one for the sake of my notes in it. I try to read a a chapter a day to renew my personal Macrobiotic path. Mr. Kushi was honored by USA Congress for the clarity he has brought to Americans. The Smithsonian opened a wing on this topic.

I did not use this book. I got it for my son-in-law (who had cancer) and daughter. She told me she found it helpful. He, by the way, saw a 75 percent reduction in cancer after 4 chemo treatments (He had Hodgkin's lymphoma). He was told this was way above average in healing and time. We all have attributed his success to his diet, which he strictly watched, and also used this book in implementing.

Once you realise how simple it is to change your eating habits, it will spur you on to finding out more about how diet affects our health. This book contains all the information you'll ever require to decipher between what's good for you, and what will actually make you sick; what bad food habits are, and how to change towards a healthy lifestyle and a new life to be led with hope, vision, and time on your side.

We had a stomach cancer scare, and it runs in the family. I asked him to read the stomach cancer chapter, and he said he'd rather die of cancer than have to eat the way it's recommended. I don't know how I'd feel in the same situation - I'd probably do what I needed to in the way of fighting the disease. But, for the average Joe, it seems very difficult to make such a drastic change. I suppose it really comes down to will-to-live. Very informative book - and fascinating topic.

Really enjoy reading this book, has a lot of information and is very helpful. Recommend it to everyone with or without cancer. Just good information to be read.

Loved the original book and it helped so many people. This updated version is very nice and I am sure will do much good. Would recommend it to anyone who is dealing with cancer or concerned about it, or just wants better health.

I thought this book would be helpful in providing science based nutrition plan. The author himself admits that he had cancer after following the diet. There is no science to backup his claims in medical journals. I tossed it into the trash after reading the book. I would not recommend it to anyone who has survived cancer and wanted to change eating habits for healthy ones.
