The Nutritional Therapy of Cancer
Book by Dr Lawrence Plaskett
The Nutritional Therapy of Cancer
A groundbreaking work presenting a nutritional and naturopathic approach to cancer, based on decades of research and clinical application.
About the Book
This book presents a new approach to cancer treatment never published before. The treatment is nutritional and naturopathic, based upon an intensive programme of diet and supplementary nutrients, the avoidance of toxins and the use of naturopathic elimination.
Dr. Plaskett spent years reviewing and recording the scientific research literature that bears upon the influences of nutrition upon cancer. He distilled the outcomes into a comprehensive protocol for cancer-sufferers that combines together state-of-the-art nutritional measures expected to influence cancer outcomes.
This therapy was taken up by The Nutritional Therapy Cancer Trust in 1997, which used it to treat a substantial number of cancer patients until 2006. The results were significant - well over half of those who closely followed the therapy went into full remission.
