Opis

Jeffery Weaver's A Recipe for Hope follows his wife, Susan, as she battles stage 4 incurable breast cancer. After learning her cancers have spread to multiple locations, she and Jeff embark on a journey to implement massive changes in diet and lifestyle in the hopes of buying her some extra time. Against all odds, the changes they make pay off. In three months, Susan's cancer markers begin to fall rapidly, surprising her medical team. One year later, she is in total remission. Her oncologist calls her recovery a miracle. In A Recipe for Hope, Jeffery Weaver lays out the cancer-fighting recipes and lifestyle changes that led to his wife's incredible recovery. Read what others have to say about A Recipe for Hope "Jeff and Susan Weaver provide a prime example of how nutrition can change lives and improve catastrophic outcomes. But it's really more than that. A must-read for everyone." --Digna Cassens, MHA, RDN, Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Author, and Speaker Powerful, not because the outcome was lifesaving, which is brilliant and amazing in itself, but because the remedy involved utilizing the body's own recuperative abilities without all the side effects of traditional cancer treatments. We see a genuinely honest and heartfelt attempt to incorporate a holistic and person-centered approach to dealing with a terminal case of cancer. This book is a road map, a template that can hopefully be followed by any individual who feels abandoned by "Western Medicine." --Simon Davies, PhD, Professor of Kinesiology and Health, Irvine Valley College "This book is a recipe for hope. Jeff Weaver's intimate journey reminds us that lifestyle changes are not easy. Told with honesty, humor, and love, the story begins in anguish with his wife's uncertain diagnosis for breast cancer. But, digging deep into the research, he finds a way forward not only for Susan but for himself and maybe for us all." --Marie Connors, Adjunct Professor of English, Irvine Valley College
