Beatng Cancer with Nutrition - Dr. Patrick Quillin

There is good news in the “war on cancer”. Optimal nutrition coupled with
appropriate medical treatment can dramatically improve the quality and quantity
of life and chances for a complete remission for most cancer patients. A well-
nourished cancer patient can better manage the disease. Cancer is the number
two cause of death in America and the developed nations of the world with
one out of four dying from cancer and 38% of women and 43% of men projected
to develop cancer over their lifetime. While the overall death rate from cancer
has not appreciably declined since the start of the multi-trillion dollar “war on
cancer” in 1971, there is good news from the nutrition arena. Optimal nutrition
can reduce the risks of developing cancer by up to 90%, hence it is a strong
preventative tool for everyone. And nutrition can dramatically improve quality and quantity of life for the
millions of patients who are being medically treated for cancer. This book provides a well-documented
approach for using an aggressive nutrition plan of food and supplements to: 1) reverse or avoid the
common malnutrition that kills 42% of cancer patients 2) make chemo and radiation more of a selective
toxin, thus protecting the patients’ cells while making the cancer cells more vulnerable to medical
elimination 3) slow cancer by limiting the amount of sugar available in the blood and gut for the glucose-
dependent cancer cells 4) stimulate the immune system, which is in charge of killing all unwanted cells
in the body, such as cancer 5) using foods and nutrition supplements as “biological response modifiers”
to upregulate the body’s built-in mechanism for eliminating cancer cells, such as apoptosis (programmed
cell death).
