Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Bestselling author of the ground-breaking book Your Life in Your Hands now brings us The Plant Programme, a collection of recipes to fight breast and prostate cancer. Plant developed breast cancer in 1987 and as a scientist was frustrated by the lack of answers on why cancer develops--and what we can do to cure and prevent it. She discovered one fact that she couldn't ignore--that 1 in 10 women in the UK will develop breast cancer whereas the incidence in China is just 1 in 10 thousand. From this she went on to study the links between lifestyle and diet and made some controversial recommendations--most notably to avoid all kinds of dairy produce and adopt a largely vegan diet.

The Plant Programme is a collection of recipes and dietary advice that follows this approach. To start off, the principles behind the diet are re-explained and a shopping list of ingredients is given. The main body of the book contains recipes for everyday eating --including snacks and meals that will suit kids and the rest of the family. Without exception, these are simple, quite quick to prepare and though there are no illustrations, highly appetising. Those cautious about the absence of dairy needn't feel apprehensive--you really don't notice it. Mediterranean and Asian dishes feature prominently, with recipes such as Couscous with Rocket, Chicken and Pine Nuts, Sweet Potato and Coconut Soup or Stir-Fried Cauliflower, Zucchini and Fennel. Even the more virtuous ingredients such as tofu and lentils are made delicious through liberal use of fresh herbs and spices. And the recipes for smoothies, cookies and desserts (such as Orange and Almond Cake) will have the rest of the family keen to tuck in with you.

Readers of Your Life in Your Hands will know exactly how exciting Jane Plant's research has been to anyone concerned about cancer. Here though, she and Gill Tidey have scored a major success in translating this scientific knowledge into a collection of easy recipes that can be enjoyed on a daily basis by the whole family. This is a positive and much needed book that will empower all those affected by this cruel disease.--Rachel O'Connor --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars A new approach to healthy eating, 23 Sep 2001
This review is from: The Plant Programme: Recipes for Fighting Breast Cancer - Healthier Living for Everyone (Hardcover)
In the forerunner to this book (Your Life In Your Hands) Professor Jane Plant CBE draws together some startling scientific proven facts that firmly points the finger of suspicion toward dairy produce as the trigger for breast and prostate cancer.

In this new book written with a fellow scientist and friend Gill Tidey the able Professor continues to explore the cancer / dairy food link concluding that it may also impact on statistics for testicular and lung cancers. Previously Professor Plant has offered criticism toward some of the various cancer charities, particularly in recognising they are all working toward the same goal, often they can't see the wood for the trees overburdened as they are with administration staff and often blinkered to the fact that others are working in the exact same area of the science. The message needs to be thrust upon health professionals and the charities that Professor Plant has probably at least loosened the nut they are trying to crack.

In The Plant Programme Gill Tidey and Jane Plant offer a clear explanation of how to live not only dairy free but also live with a healthy intake of all the nutrients necessary to sustain healthy life. A large number of interesting and varied menus are offered that can take the reader a long way toward achieving this health goal. A scoring system is laid out indicating just how "anti cancer" various approved foods are thought to be. This scoring system is linked to a particularly helpful suggested daily meal planner section listing how to achieve the 30 plus different food ingredients needed each day and achieve the optimum daily score.

As the son of a retired dairy farmer initially, I found the anti dairy message hard to accept. However, as I am myself allergic to dairy produce not that hard to agree with! As the book is equally critical of additive laden foods it gains my ringing endorsement. It will certainly be a book on my Christmas shopping list for friends and family. Perhaps a format more able to cope with the kitchen environment might be considered for future editions though?

5.0 out of 5 stars A book I can't live without., 18 May 2008
By G. Hardy "George Hardy" (Tyneside, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It is 3 years since I bought this book,in April 2005, soon after being diagnosed with the most serious staging of prostate cancer. I had only just celebrated my 54th birthday and here was I being told that the prognosis was very, very bleak.

I then bought and read Jane Plant's own inspiring story of her fight against breast cancer in her book "Your life In Your Hands", and I became convinced of the wisdom of her words and her successful strategy in the battle against such devastating illness.

The first step in my fightback was to completely change my diet, and to do this I needed a guide to help me through the planning of all my daily meals. Never having been on any type of diet before, I was at a loss as to where to start, what to buy, what to avoid, and how to prepare and to cook the foods I would now need.

This simple, well written book was my guiding light, my very own cookery 'bible. To this day it sits proudly on my kitchen shelf, now very well thumbed through and extrememly well worn.
I could never have managed to stay on the path to recovery without it.

And a recovery it has indeed been. Only last week, on 15th May 2008, my oncologist gave me my latest blood test results and told me how amazed and delighted he was that I had come through all the hormone treatment and radiotherapy so exceptionally well, and that after having stopped all medication 6 months ahead of schedule, my results were startling.

I have a normal PSA level and my testosterone is equivalent to that of a healthy, younger man.

I cannot praise this book highly enough, and I have waited three years to write this review, now being totally sure that buying it was one of the best decisions of my life.

Thank you Prof Jane Plant. It worked for you, and you were magnanimous enough to write these books and to spread this message of hope to other cancer sufferers....and I am sure that there must be many others now in the world who are feeling as I do today....so very glad to be alive!


George Hardy,


England
