I'm very skeptical about the alternative medicine community,

in which the percentage of cranks and quacks seems higher to me

than in the scientific medicine community, and the standards of

evidence seem lower. However, on Doug's above recommendation I

found Dr. Alschuler's website and listened to the podcast.

I was fairly impressed. She sounded like a person who takes the

requirement for evidence very seriously and may know a lot more

about diet and dietary supplements than most oncologists do.

However, I haven't read her book and I don't want to wax too

enthusiastic without having read it.

Unfortunately, she doesn't give any information on her website.

If you want her advice, you have to pay for it either by buying

the book or becoming one of her patients (sigh). I'll look for

the book in my local library. If I find it, I may say more.

Here's her website. A link to the podcast (which gives very

little actual medical information) is on the home page.
