Review: 2015: MARCH 24th Well, what do you know? Today marks 10 years since my diagnosis, and on 27th March I'll be 64, a birthday I never thought I'd see. I'm still doing well, and have found intermittent hormone therapy has been working successfully for me. There have been several 'hormone holidays' when I've had no treatment at all, but I return to it every time my PSA level begins to climb. I have never wavered from Jane Plant's recommendations, and finding her work was the biggest piece of luck I've ever had. Now I'm absolutely certain that my diet has played a massive part in my continued survival. That plus conventional treatment has been a winning combination for me so far. I know I'll never beat prostate cancer but I intend to die with it, not because of it. And now I'm setting my sights on another ten years. Yes, I'm getting greedy, I know, but I fully intend to be around for a long long time yet, despite that bleak prognosis back in 2005. 2014. Jan 13th: I wrote the review below in 2008, and here I am, six years later, still doing incredibly well after that terrible prostate cancer diganosis and prognosis in April 2005. I can't believe I am fast approaching a full nine years since that 'terminal' diagnosis (and neither can my doctors!). I honestly believe this would have been the case if I hadn't found Prof Jane Plant's work so soon after being diagnosed. To this day, I follow the Jane Plant Programme, and consider myself a very lucky man to still be doing well after all this time. I cannot recommend this book highly enough. It DID save my life. And here is that review from five years ago: It may seem odd that I, a man, should write that this book probably saved my life, but it's my very stong belief that this is the case. In April 2005 I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer, advanced, inoperable, and my prognosis was very bleak - perhaps 2 or 3 years to live. I had only just celebrated my 54th birthday two weeks earlier. All I can say is thank heavens for the internet. After leaving the hospital, still reeling from the shocking news, I sat at the computer and began to research the illness. I spent every waking hour delving through research papers and any new treatments that might possibly be available to me. Within a few days I discovered the work of Prof. Jane Plant, and her theories on cancer shone out like a beacon in my darkness. I'm not from any type of scientific background, but she writes about causes and prevention - and diet factors which can stimulate (or destroy) cancer cells, in such a clear, simple way, that I found it incredibly easy to follow the logic of it all. I immediately ordered this book, read it thorougly, and made the most important decision of my life - I completely changed my diet, totally omitting any dairy produce, red meat, processed foods and harmful chemicals from my lifestyle. I have waited over 3 years to write this review, because as a cancer sufferer you are filled with fears and doubts, such as "Were the doctors right? Will I not see 3 years?" - but I feel I must share with everyone the results of my lifestyle change. I combined conventional hospital treatment (37 radiotherapy sessions and 30 months of hormone therapy) with strict adherence to Prof. Plant's diet recommendations. My results have been spectacular. From a starting point in April 2005 of a T4 tumour and a very high PSA level of 182, I have now been free of any cancer medication for 9 months. Indeed, I was able to stop hormone therapy at 30 months rather than the planned 3 years. My doctors are amazed that my PSA reading on 3rd June 2008 was a very low 0.9, while my testosterone levels are back to those of any normal, healthy male. An added bonus is the fact that I suffer no erectile dysfunction, and I went through all the radiotherapy with ease. I am CERTAIN that following Prof Plant's program has brought me to this happy outcome. I know for sure that I will never waver from the path I've chosen, I don't miss dairy produce at all, and consider myself to be one very lucky guy. Thank you, Jane Plant! George Hardy 11th June 2008

Review: This book is a really hard read because it keeps repeating itself. Quite honestly you could go straight to the update chapters in the back and read all you need to know. Not sure if what is suggested works. My husband has cut out dairy and gone to soya which he hates but he is very ill so it’s worth a try.
