The Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast Cancer: A Practical Manual for Understanding, Prevention and Care

As a naturopathic doctor and breast cancer survivor, this book helped me through the process in a way I could not have gotten any other way. It is written in plain English though it manages very complex concepts. It covers all parts of the cancer experience and was my written guide through the process. I recommend it highly to anyone with breast cancer and anyone who loves anyone with breast cancer and wishes to help.

I was looking for guidance in what I can do to help prevent breast cancer, beyond the basic list of low fat diet, eating broccoli, exercising and avoiding alcohol. This book is an outstanding, comprehensive resource from a naturopathic standpoint. It goes into great detail on explaining hormones, estrogen's role in the cancer process, how chemicals and toxins in our environment contribute to the increase of breast cancer, what role the liver plays in detoxifying our body and how we can support the liver. The author also gives explicit recommendations on diet and supplements, what they do and how much to take, plus nontoxic alternatives to household cleaning products etc. Breast cancer prevention involves your whole lifestyle and some of the changes may be hard, but the benefits to overall health and our immune system can be enormous. You may not be able to make all the changes at once, but I for one am working on them. This book was written several years ago before the recent studies on the benefits of Vitamin D in breast cancer prevention. The author minimizes the importance of Vitamin D, which is the only real negative of the book, in my opinion. Actually, I would have also liked if she had gone into greater detail on thermography as an adjunct or alternative to mammography. This book is also helpful for women who have cancer, to help them support their bodies through treatment and to help prevent recurrences.

Sat Dharam Kaur explores cancer from every angle - from heredity to toxic load to diet to spiritual well being. Cancer does NOT have to happen and we really can control our own health. Truly the most informative book out there on how to prevent breast cancer or heal yourself if you have already been stricken with this terrible disease. There is hope. Thank you Dr. Kaur for having the courage to write such a bold and wonderful offering to the women of the world!

Dr. Kaur's book contains a wealth of information for all of us. When I picked up this book I had no idea how helpful it would be in my own battle with breast cancer. The information is detailed, well referenced and so attractively organized and presented that you feel a very personal touch coming through. I recommend this book to women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer as well as those interested in making positive changes in their lifestyle aimed at preventing breast cancer. If you get one book, this is all you will need. Dr. Kaur is clearly someone with great integrity who has uncovered every aspect of this issue. As a medical doctor, my own perspective has changed and I have recommended this book to many of my collegues.
