Bauman (executive director, Bauman Coll. Holistic Nutrition & Culinary Arts, Berkeley, CA) and Waldman (holistic nutrition educator, Bauman Coll.) consider the nutritional components of breast cancer as the means to preventing recurrence. Bauman's "Eating for Health" model encourages patients to "eat for pleasure, eat for energy, eat for recovery, and eat for health" while starving the cancer. Oh, if only a sound diet could be that reliable. Still, eating healthfully is generally a wise choice.
