It is now over twelve years since Jane Plant's last breast-cancer secondaries disappeared following a fundamental change in her diet and lifestyle. Her cancer had spread to the lymph nodes in her neck, in spite of a radical mastectomy, three further operations, 35 radiotherapy treatments, irradiation of her ovaries to induce the menopause and several chemotherapy treatments. Despite all this treatment, her doctors gave her three months to live. She then recalled that people in rural China, where she had worked, have a very low incidence of breast (and prostate) cancer. At that point she changed her diet and lifestyle, and to everyone’s amazement, including, her own, the large cancerous lump in her neck disappeared within five weeks.  Jane has since written many books and you can read more about her and her recommendations on the following sites:

Macs do not endorse any particular guide lists only guides with web pages so remember that many local and national groups are not yet on the Internet in Spain - your doctor or medico may be able to recommend a support group most suited to your needs. As well as 'face-to-face' support groups, there are a growing number of 'electronic' or 'virtual' support groups, where it is possible to communicate with other patients anywhere in the world. Remember health care systems vary from country to country and time changes treatments and group support structures.
