Say no to cancer

Say no to cancer
Patrick Holford

This review by Ovacome member Helen Bayley appeared in the summer 2001 newsletter.

This book has changed my life and I commend it to all the readers of this newsletter. My GP recommended it to me at the beginning of the year 2000. Having read it, I started to enthuse to others and discovered a seminar venue almost straight away (thanks to the observant Ruth Payne). I was there like a sponge. For six hours I hung on every word, noting all the details that were especially for cancer sufferers. It has changed my life: I am far more energetic. I have lost more than a stone of the three I put on after chemotherapy. My driving belief is that if what I was doing before I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer contributed to the development of the cancer, then change could only be good for me.

This is not an alternative therapy but a way of life. You could say that it is like a religion because you have to devote yourself to it. Equally there are moments when I sin, but hopefully not too many times. I certainly do not want to undo the good that has resulted from a change in lifestyle.
