Comprehensive Cancer Care: Integrating Alternative, Complementary and Conventional Therapies

by James S. Gordon, MD and Sharon Curtin

Synopsis: This book, by Dr. Gordon and patient advocate Sharon Curtin, is based on the findings of the annual Comprehensive Cancer Care conference co-sponsored by The Center for Mind-Body Medicine and the National Cancer Institute. It is a uniquely authoritative, compassionate and readable guide to the integration of conventional, complementary, and alternative therapies for cancer care. “Every cancer patient and every oncologist”, wrote William Fair, M.D., former Chair of Urology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Hospital, “should read this book.”

One Bite at a Time: Nourishing Recipes for People With Cancer, Survivors, and Their Caregivers

by Rebecca Katz

Synopsis: Rebecca Katz, health supportive chef extraordinaire, has published our favorite new cookbook. A review on amazon.com says, “The two squash soup was the best thing I’ve ever eaten that didn’t contain chocolate.” We agree! These recipes are nourishing, and put the "Yum!" back into cooking. A great gift for anyone, not just cancer survivors.
