    The Definitive Guide to Cancer (1997 edition) edited by Burton
    Goldberg is a standard reference for anyone considering alternative
    or complementary therapies. It contains chapters on various
    practitioners as well as other vital information describing the
    therapies.

    The Weston A. Price Foundation offers a wealth of information
    about diet and nutrition which challenges popular myths. Their
    research of traditional foods is unparalleled and should be read
    before considering any "1980s alt med generalism" about avoiding
    healthy fats and oils.  The biochemistry of food-based nutrients is
    essential reading for a society accustomed to indiscriminately taking
    supplements or eating soy products. We especially recommend the
    book reviews and the information about statins and heart disease.

    Iodine: Why You Need It, Why You Can't Live Without It  (Fourth Edition)
    by David Brownstein, M.D. A must-have for anyone diagnosed with
    breast cancer or fibrocystic breast disease. The editors of Breast
    Cancer Choices consider the connection between iodine insufficiency
    and breast disease the most significant discovery we have reviewed
    in the last 18 years.

    Stephanie Buist, ND HC, is the owner of the 5500 member Yahoo
    Iodine Group. Stephanie is a thyroid cancer survivor who got her
    cancer and hypothyroidism under control with the assistance of Dr.
    David Brownstein, the famed iodine expert and author. Those familiar
    with iodine deficiency know it often manifests in the breast and
    thyroid at the same time. This subject can be very complex and only an
    experienced Iodine Literate Practitioner can understand the tests and
    protocol.  Stephanie practices in Michigan and provides phone
    consultations if you are not nearby.

    Assess Your True Risk of Breast Cancer by Patricia T. Kelly, Ph.D.  Kelly,  
    a molecular geneticist , examines major studies on hormone
    replacement therapy and breast cancer, concluding that HRT taken at
    menopause does not increase the risk of breast cancer. The author
    also discusses the peer-review literature on HRT taken after
    diagnosis, making her one of the few people in the world bringing
    fresh eyes to a subject that most clinicians had made up their minds
    about without reading up on the subject. Assess Your True Risk of
    Breast Cancer is an important book which deserves a sequel
    discussing the current brainwashing of  women against hormones in
    sharp contrast to the published scientific facts. Kelly is the perfect
    author to investigate how the Women's Health Initiative debacle may
    have statistically contributed to the premature deaths of women it
    scared off hormones.

    The Annie Appleseed Project is an excellent reference resource. Use
    their search engine as an encyclopedia of cancer resources.
