Vitamins in Cancer Prevention and Treatment: A Practical Guide

One of America's foremost researchers in the field of nutrition and cancer, Dr. Prasad presents lucid information on the usefulness of vitamin supplements in preventing and treating this complex disease. The Wall Street Journal reports: "Sales of vitamins E, C, and beta-carotene jumped due partly to growing acceptance of the theory that they may help fight cancer and heart disease." While the health benefits of vitamins are becoming more commonly known, there has been a shortage of clear and reliable information on how to implement vitamin treatments. This book provides the guidance needed to integrate vitamin supplements into your diet.

Referring to vitamin research conducted by more than one hundred medical centers worldwide, the author explains how controlled dosages of specific vitamins can enhance conventional cancer treatment while reducing toxic side effects and stimulating the body's natural immune defense system. In this updated and revised edition, the author presents the most current findings on vitamin therapy and offers useful guidelines for altering diet and lifestyle to live a longer, healthier life.
