At about 700 large-sized pages, this exceptional book celebrates the woman's body, her nutrition & fitness, her mental health & self-awareness, her adolescence, her sexuality and her pregnancy. Woman's psychology and her life cycle are fully covered. The book has hundreds of pages on pregnancy and birth control and should be very valuable to a woman during her child-bearing years.

As a third year medical student, I have come to see the lack of attention and prophalaxis to a strong killer in our African-American community. This book will help open some eyes and minds in the pursuit of the elimination of this silent killer.

I really liked The Breast Cancer Prevention and Recovery Diet. It walked me through all the basics of breast cancer, how it develops, what the risks are, what the different types are, how to recognize different symptoms, what to expect at the doctor, and what the different treatment options are. Then it explained how to minimize your risk of developing breast cancer or improving your chances of recovery through nutrition. Suzannah explained which foods to avoid and which foods to include. She suggested making gradual changes that seem really do-able. She includes easy, appealing recepies and lots of menu ideas. Everything is backed up with a lot of research, but the book is easy-to-understand and speaks on a very personal level. The Breast Cancer Prevention and Recovery Diet reminded me of Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book, which I really liked also. I think this is a great book for any woman interested in better health.

This valuable book offers a realistic program of nutrition and exercises that may contribute to preventing or overcoming cancer. Chapter One considers the risk factors, whilst Chapter Two looks at the body's defenses like nutrient factors, immunity, free radicals, vitamins, minerals and other substances, and their use.

Chapter Three contains an in-depth look at nutrition, obesity, additives, contaminants, pesticides, smoking, alcohol, caffeine, hormones, air, water, electromagnetism and stress. Chapter Four explores breast, gastrointestinal and other cancers plus cardiovascular disease.

Chapter Five presents a plan for risk factor modification, including the author's 10-point plan and a diet plan. The book concludes with footnotes containing bibliographical references, a piece about the author and an index. Black and white illustrations enhance the text.

Finally! A cookbook that makes sense and is not real expensive and easy to prepare! Very healthy! Thank you!A Unique Bunny

This is probably the best book on Bee Pollen I have ever read. Mr carlson Gives you and informative history about the bees, how they work to collect pollen and how this miracle food does for your health. It is short & sweet and you will definetly read it more than once.

Would love to read this book, as I too was diagnosed with type II three years ago, and I can feel the impact in my toes, my daily fatigue, etc.

I hope this book gets well reviewed everywhere. Thanks, Carol, for writing it. And how are you feeling now? Better?

There are many nutrition books, and food count books on the market with lots of great information about which nutrients are found in which foods. Many of these books also provide information and suggestions regarding nutritional supplementation. While I have found these book immeasurably informative, many times (I think) it is easy to get bogged down, trying to distill information from such a broadly based type of presentation ... especially if you are looking for information on supplements to treat or support a specific condition, or health related issue.

What makes this book a standout (for me) is the way it is formatted. Supplements are presented in categories addressing particular points of focus. For example (just a few of the many) target concerns for supplementation include "Joint and Bone Health", "Vision Supplements", "Immune System Stimulation" etc. Information addressing each specific concern is presented in simple, well organized charts which I found to be hugely useful. In addition, this book presents information on each separate supplement in an easy to read format which is detailed enough to give a good overview .... but no so much information that it becomes a chore.

Extensively referenced, this very well written and originally formatted book is a genuine pleasure to read. By far the most well organized and "to the point" (general) supplement book I have read to date. I recommend it wholeheartedly!
