Product Description

Product Description

Prostate cancer, scientifically similar in many ways to breast cancer, is the second most common cancer (behind lung cancer) among men. And it is becoming ever more prevalent. In Professor Jane Plant's international bestseller on breast cancer, Your Life in Your Hands, she advocated, from personal experience, a way of life and non-dairy diet that helped her beat her breast cancer. In Prostate Cancer: Understand, Prevent and Overcome, Professor Plant brings her knowledge to bear on prostate cancer, including information on the science behind the disease and the reasons why her programme works, as well as case studies of men following her programme. This is a ground-breaking book for prostate cancer sufferers and their families.


From the Back Cover

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among men, yet research into the illness has been so underfunded it is years behind research into other cancers.

Professor Jane Plant, an establishment scientist, reveals why the establishment has singularly failed to tell us the facts about what really causes cancer, and explains:

What is cancer? The latest scientific evidence linking dairy produce with prostate cancerThe latest cancer therapies from high intensity ultrasound (HIFU) and photodynamic therapy (PDT) to gene therapiesThe food and lifestyle factors to cut your risk of developing prostate cancer
This groundbreaking book has been completely revised and updated including the latest science-based advice on dietary and lifestyle factors that can help you prevent and overcome prostate cancer as well as other types of cancer, including pancreatic, colorectal and testicular cancer.

Prostate cancer and its treatment can cause pain and discomfort, incontinence, sexual impotence and relationship and psychological problems. This book will tell you how to substantially cut your risk of ever having the disease.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my 'bible"!, 16 May 2008
By G. Hardy "George Hardy" (Tyneside, England.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Prostate Cancer: Understand, Prevent and Overcome Prostrate Cancer (Paperback)
I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in April 2005. My prognosis was very bleak, an inoperable T4 tumour, and I was expected to have only a few years of life left.
However, within a week of that shocking news, I discovered the work of Prof.Jane Plant while researching this illness.

I am convinced that doing so saved my life. On hearing of her own successful fight against breast cancer I ordered her book, "Your Life In Your Hands" from Amazon.

Her thorough research and deep scientific knowledge shone out at me like a beacon and I immediately changed my diet and began following her recommendations to fight cancer.

The next week I bought "Prostate Cancer: Understand, Prevent, Overcome", and that book became my 'bible'.

I strictly adhered to the principles of Jane's strategy for battling prostate cancer, and my whole diet became based on the information and recipes I found in her other excellent book "The Plant Programme".

I have waited 3 years to feel confident enough to write this review, because now, after combining my oncologist's conventional medical treatment plan of hormone therapy and radiothery alongside my living by The Jane Plant diet, I have had a truly remarkable outcome.

On Tuesday 13th May 2008 my oncologist told me my latest test results. He was both amazed and delighted that having agreed I could stop all treatment 6 months ahead of schedule, my PSA was at a normal, low level (1.1ng/ml), my testosterone was that of any healthy male, and all this after 36 weeks of no anti-cancer drugs whatsover.

His words to me were: "Whatever you are doing...Don't change a single thing!".

I have no doubt at all that finding Jane's work really did save my life.

Thank you Jane, and to anyone out there who has just been diagnosed with PCa may I wish you a similar happy outcome, and I would urge you to take a look at thse books. I thank my lucky stars that I did.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the purchase and read, 7 Feb 2009
By Mrs. Janet L. Daykin "Janet" (Bingley) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Prostate Cancer: Understand, Prevent and Overcome (Paperback)
If you need to read this book either to help yourself, or someone close to you, it is well worth the read. It can either be dipped into or read in its entirety. I read from cover to cover, and whilst I cannot say this was a quick and easy read the information is extremely well presented and informative.

I recommend The Plant Programme which has good and quick to prepare nutritious recipes to complement this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantascically informative and helpful book !, 16 May 2009
By Ms. L. Valentine "LightworkerUK" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Prostate Cancer: Understand, Prevent and Overcome Prostrate Cancer (Paperback)
My partner was dagnosed with porstate cancer in August 2008, tis book was recomended by members of the prostate cancer charity message boards.
As it was so highly recomended I bought it and was stunned by the information inside, I was even more stunned by what some of the foods we have been told are essenial for good health over the years actually does to us!

I suffer from three different auto-immune conditions and realised how much changing my diet could help me, thought it worth a try as my rheumatologist and doctors are having problems getting my conditions under control. The increased cancer risk factors from my conditions, and at least two of the drugs from the cocktail of drugs I have to take, combined with the information in this book convinced me that I needed to change my diet. Diet was the one risk factor that I could control so I became Vegan about a month ago. It's the best thing I have done in a long time ! my IBS isn't as bad, I'm not bloated and I don't feel as lethargic as much of the time.

I would urge anyone who is concerned about the risk of developing cancer to read any of Prof. Jane Plants books !
