Review for the Books
The whole-food guide for breast cancer survivors : a nutritional approach to preventing recurrence

By Edward M. Bauman and Helayne L. Waldman ; foreword by Donald Abrams.

“The Whole-Foods Guide for Breast Cancer Survivors offers readers a
robust synthesis of how nutrition can dramatically reduce your risk of
breast cancer or recurrence. This book provides not the watered-down and
jaded suggestions offered previously, but exciting, new tips that most
oncologists don’t know. Highly empowering and life-altering for
women.”
—Sara Gottfried, MD, integrative physician at The Gottfried
Center for Integrative Medicine in Berkeley, CA, and author
of The Hormone Cure

“Bauman and Waldman have written an easy-to-follow guide for wholebody
healing filled with inspiring anecdotes and helpful chapter-bychapter
to-do lists. It is an excellent resource that may be used to equip
recovering breast cancer survivors as well as their families with solid
nutritional information and delicious recipes containing healing foods that
will ensure health, well-being, and longevity.”
—Margo Jordan Parker, OMD, CEO of Herbal Fortress

“As the general public becomes more interested in the benefits of healthy
eating, these authors are shining a light on the association between
nutrition and malignant disease. The book is an evidence-based treatise on
the role of nutrition in wellness, treatment, and follow-up care as a vital
part of dealing with cancer. It also happens to be the part that the patient
has the most control over. The book is a treasure chest of cutting-edge
information. It includes a meal plan, pantry set-up, and starter recipes.”
—Anna Jedrziewski, New Age Retailer

“The heart and soul of The Whole-Food Guide for Breast Cancer Survivors
is empowerment! The book is chock full of wonderful morsels of
information and shows us that food is one of our most powerful tools for
healing and nourishment.”
—Rebecca Katz, MS, author of The Cancer-Fighting Kitchen

“With one in seven women suffering from breast cancer, The Whole-Food
Guide for Breast Cancer Survivors is a much-needed book. It provides
useful information for women who are looking for a holistic approach
and a good road map to guide breast cancer survivors into a healthier
lifestyle.”
—David Brownstein, MD, author of ten books and the Dr.
Brownstein’s Natural Way to Health monthly newsletter

“The Whole-Food Guide for Breast Cancer Survivors is a common-sense
compendium of what you need to know to live longer and better if you
have or had breast cancer, or want to prevent it. Authors Edward Bauman
and Helayne Waldman wisely blend lifestyle and natural strategies that
strengthen our bodies’ defenses against cancer and promote wellness. A
must-read for anyone who wants to take control of the destiny of their
own health. “
—Len Saputo, MD, founder of the Health Medicine Forum,

Health Medicine Center, and author of A Return to Healing
“I am delighted to see this book in print. It contains lots of valuable
information that will help women and men make the most informed decisions on dealing with breast cancer. The book is very readable, and is
filled with instructions on what we can do now to help ourselves.”
—Ann Fonfa, founder of The Annie Appleseed Project and
diagnosed with breast cancer in January 1993
