Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Your Life in Your Hands tells the story of one woman determined to overcome breast cancer. Jane Plant felt as if she was being stalked by a supernaturally evil killer that, however many times was vanquished, relentlessly kept coming back to attack. The fourth time the breast cancer re-occurred, Jane Plant felt like giving up: "The chill realisation hit me that it wasn't going to let me go until it had claimed my life," she says in her book Your Life In Your Hands. But Plant didn't give up. Instead, tapping into her scientific training, she set about trying to find a rational reason for the breast cancer.

In the UK, one woman in ten is likely to contract the disease. In China, breast cancer affects one woman in 10,000. It was this startling statistical disparity that led Plant to believe there had to be a dietary trigger for the disease. As she continued her scientific investigations, Plant became convinced she had discovered a causal link between dairy produce and breast cancer.

Having made her discovery, Plant immediately adopted a non-dairy diet. Miraculously, her cancer started to subside. Five weeks later it had disappeared completely. While Your Life In Your Hands contains hard science to back its claims, Plant manages to spell out the science in a way that is easy for the uninitiated to understand. Plant's research is solid and the evidence is compelling.

As well as telling the remarkable story of one woman's determination to overcome breast cancer, Your Life In Your Hands offers no-nonsense advice on how to deal with doctors, self-examination and coping with treatment. The book also includes Plant's own non-dairy diet: The Plant Programme--The Lifestyle Factors. Plant's tenacious spirit will inspire you. Her findings will surprise you. And her book will empower you to fight against the odds. --Christopher Kelly

5.0 out of 5 stars Jane Plant....I owe you my life., 1 Sep 2005
By Dave Pickett (Newcastle) - See all my reviews
Everybody should read this book, It is a true life saver, facts are backed up with proof that red meat and milk are linked to cancer. Breast and prostate cancer have both been cured by following the diet, I have a friend that followed the diet and has been cleared of bowel cancer for two years.
I had nothing to loose when I was diagnosed with inoperable oesophageal cancer in October, I was told it was as good as having a death sentance. By following the simple diet of fresh organic fruit and veg and cutting out red meat and milk I've managed to astound my doctors by shrinking a 14cm tumer to 1cm that has come back clear of cancer cells. I'm now on a quest to get as many people as I can to read the book and follow the diet. How many other type of cancers will the diet be able to cure, and why aren't the government doing anything about it ???

5.0 out of 5 stars A must full for all breast/prostate cancer sufferers, 21 Mar 2002
By A Customer
I wish I had found this book earlier - it is now my reference book and I go back to it constantly as I am currently in remission from Breast Cancer diagnosed 1999. Have tried the diet for almost a year and feel great. I have also found out that Astra Zeneca produce Tamoxifen without Lactose (as a special only) - so why are not all of them without lactose - In light of the revelation in the Sunday Times, 10/03/02 (News in Brief)where it states that scientists now have linked the high consumption of dairy products with prostate cancer!!! Is it the dairy industry we are protecting? Start reading your food labels - you'll be surprised what they contain that is not needed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong ring of truth about the book, 21 Aug 2000
By A Customer
I have just read Professor Plant's book and it seems to have a strong ring of truth about it!

As a retired family doctor who did two baby clinics a week for 30 years, I found it not uncommon for breast-feeding mothers to switch to the bottle saying that their babies grew better. Gradually, I came to suspect that growth was excessive, not better. Babies triple their weight in the first year of live, calves about a dozen-fold. There seems to be a correlation between growth factor in milk, and cows milk contains more than mother's milk and this factor stimulates breast and prostate gland growth.

Six years ago my brother-in-law, then aged 72 years, developed prostate cancer with bone secondaries. At my suggestion he promptly went vegan (though later he added fish twice a week making a 'macro-biotic like' diet. Although he also received hormone therapy, the surgeon initially felt he had made an error in diagnosis because the secondaries in the bones vanished so rapidly. However his PSA rapidly dropped from 211 to under 1!

This, and other clinical experiences over many years suggested to me a relationship between diet and cancer, especially some animal products but milk in particular. Milk is designed as an interim food, from birth until weaning and cow's milk is for calves. (There is an argument for 'formula' if mother cannot breast-feed). Cow's milk derives from various grasses, and similar nutrients are found in the green-leafy vegetation which people eat. Dairy products are irrelevant to the human diet. I feel it wiser to restrict or avoid dairy foods until proved safe and healthy to eat.
