This book should be in the hands of anyone with cancer. In my opinion, I believe it's that valuable! It is 728 pages, but about 200 of those are the reference pages. The rest is very pleasant and easy to follow, not a lot of medical jargon to put me to sleep (even though a nurse wrote it)! Being able to understand all the material makes it much easier to incorporate it into my daily routine. There is just something about that fresh carrot, broccoli, and beet juice. Wow - they do give me a lot of extra energy. Probably that alkalinity effect is one reason I feel so much more energetic. Great book. I would never hesitate to recommend it to anyone!
