Ebook Diet For Prevention And Recovery From Breast Cancer
Did you know that the original Hippocratic Oath (circa 500 BC), the oath taken by medical doctors, emphasized dietary advice and guidance? “I will apply dietetic measures for the benefit of the sick according to my ability and judgment: I will keep them from harm and injustice.” Nowadays the word “dietetic” is usually omitted, leaving a vacuum that is being filled by enlightened MDs and holistic nutritionists like myself. (Jack, from Ancient Medicine, John Hopkins University Press).
My interest in this topic comes from both personal friends and clients who either had or have breast cancer. My 30 years of experience in the natural health field began with an in-depth study of the Macrobiotic diet and lifestyle with the principal teachers, Michio and Aveline Kushi and Herman and Cornellia Aihara. In the early 70s, while working as Associate Editor of East West Journal (now Natural Health magazine), Macrobiotics became known as “The Cancer Prevention Diet.” The East West Foundation, founded by Michio Kushi as a nonprofit organization for the promotion of Macrobiotics, sponsored conferences on diet and cancer as early as 1974.
Then in 1977, Dr. Anthony Sattilaro, physician and chairman of Methodist Hospital in Philadelphia, wrote Recalled by Life about his healing journey using a Macrobiotic diet which led to his recovery from prostate cancer that had metastasized to his bones at the age of 49. Medical tests declared him free of cancer in less than a year. On the heels of Dr.Sattilaro’s book came the publication in 1983 of Michio Kushi’s book, The Cancer Prevention Diet, revised in 1994. Since that time, the American Cancer Society periodically announces that Macrobiotic diets are on its list of unproven methods of cancer management.
During the 19 years that I co directed a natural health center, and now in my private consultation practice here in the San Francisco Bay Area of California, I have worked with women who have been treating their breast cancer with a combination of conventional and natural approaches including diet, sometimes along with Chinese herbs and acupuncture, the method proven to best relieve pain and nausea. Through referrals, and because of the continued availability of my three cookbooks, I’ve had the pleasure of teaching women which food groups and which particular foods are most health supportive, and how to prepare them in ways they would enjoy.
