Wynn: Of all the books I devoured during my days of preparation for surgery and the period of recovery, the Whole Foods Guide for Breast Cancer Survivors was the most helpful. One of my goals was to learn more about my hormone levels, since the cells that were removed were estrogen positive, and I didn't feel comfortable taking Tamoxifen or a similar medicine, which was the only option I was given. I contacted one of the hormone testing companies listed in the book, discovered that the owner of the company had developed a new "dry urine" test, which provided important information regarding all of my hormone levels and liver detoxification function as well. Although my hormone levels were low, which is not a profile generally consistent with women who develop breast cancer, the report identified a possible detoxification pathway that may have been a contributing factor. Working with a holistic doctor, who was familiar with the test, I started taking a few supplements to offset the problem. I was able to avoid taking a drug that I knew was not good for me and begin a program that I could embrace and feel confident in. I'm very grateful that this book was available.

Rick Shapiro: As a cancer consultant,I have attended many cancer conferences, nationwide, and have been privileged to have heard several of Helayne Waldman's presentations pertaining to the impactful role that food and nutrition play in breast cancer. After having heard her most recent presentation at a conference in Florida, I realized I must purchase her "excellent" book that is replete with tremendously valuable information, easily "digestible", for any woman seeking to reduce and eliminate the myriad risk factors for recurrent breast cancer. She explains, with straight-forward logic and clarity, how certain foods can influence and counter the many factors that lay the groundwork for a permissive cancer environment. She explains how food can impact and enhance the immune system, and enlightens the reader about critical issues, specific to breast cancer survivors, such as: stress, glucose-sugar, inflammation and hormonal considerations. I highly recommend this book, without hesitation, to any health-care practitioner and/or any individual impacted by breast cancer, as a major informational-reference book to help cancer survivors become cancer thrivers and keep cancer at bay by supporting the...

max: I urge anyone who has had the misfortune to be diagnosed with Breast cancer, to read this book. It is true, it takes a while to get in the habit of a completely different way of dietary and lifestyle change, there are so many things that when you read it, its like a light bulb going off in your head! So much of the advice about nutrition makes sense. It is the only book about BC that I have bought since my diagnosis a year ago, I am only interested in facts and choose to ignore the majority of information on the internet: this is my go-to guide. Don't hesitate, the experts who contribute to the book, as well as survivors themselves, know what they are talking about. The best thing is that since following the guide I have lost weight and have masses of energy - can't be bad!!! Can't recommend it highly enough!

Jeannine Olivier: It is informative but I felt it couldn't be read in one go! I tended to read a bit and highlight bits I wanted to remember.
