IYour Life in Your Hands/I tells the story of one woman determined to overcome breast cancer. Jane Plant felt as if she was being stalked by a supernaturally evil killer that, however many times was vanquished, relentlessly kept coming back to attack. The fourth time the breast cancer re-occurred, Jane Plant felt like giving up: "The chill realisation hit me that it wasn't going to let me go until it had claimed my life," she says in her book IYour Life In Your Hands/I. But Plant didn't give up. Instead, tapping into her scientific training, she set about trying to find a rational reason for the breast cancer. p In the UK, one woman in ten is likely to contract the disease. In China, breast cancer affects one woman in 10,000. It was this startling statistical disparity that led Plant to believe there had to be a dietary trigger for the disease. As she continued her scientific investigations, Plant became convinced she had discovered a causal link between dairy produce and breast cancer. p Having made her discovery, Plant immediately adopted a non-dairy diet. Miraculously, her cancer started to subside. Five weeks later it had disappeared completely. While IYour Life In Your Hands/I contains hard science to back its claims, Plant manages to spell out the science in a way that is easy for the uninitiated to understand. Plant's research is solid and the evidence is compelling. p As well as telling the remarkable story of one woman's determination to overcome breast cancer, IYour Life In Your Hands/I offers no-nonsense advice on how to deal with doctors, self-examination and coping with treatment. The book also includes Plant's own non-dairy diet: The Plant Programme--The Lifestyle Factors. Plant's tenacious spirit will inspire you. Her findings will surprise you. And her book will empower you to fight against the odds. --IChristopher Kelly/I

 Jane Plant....I owe you my life. September 1, 2005

Everybody should read this book, It is a true life saver, facts are backed up with proof that red meat and milk are linked to cancer. Breast and prostate cancer have both been cured by following the diet, I have a friend that followed the diet and has been cleared of bowel cancer for two years. brI had nothing to loose when I was diagnosed with inoperable oesophageal cancer in October, I was told it was as good as having a death sentance. By following the simple diet of fresh organic fruit and veg and cutting out red meat and milk I've managed to astound my doctors by shrinking a 14cm tumer to 1cm that has come back clear of cancer cells. I'm now on a quest to get as many people as I can to read the book and follow the diet. How many other type of cancers will the diet be able to cure, and why aren't the government doing anything about it ???
Strong ring of truth about the book August 21, 2000

I have just read Professor Plant's book and it seems to have a strong ring of truth about it!pAs a retired family doctor who did two baby clinics a week for 30 years, I found it not uncommon for breast-feeding mothers to switch to the bottle saying that their babies grew better. Gradually, I came to suspect that growth was excessive, not better. Babies triple their weight in the first year of live, calves about a dozen-fold. There seems to be a correlation between growth factor in milk, and cows milk contains more than mother's milk and this factor stimulates breast and prostate gland growth.pSix years ago my brother-in-law, then aged 72 years, developed prostate cancer with bone secondaries. At my suggestion he promptly went vegan (though later he added fish twice a week making a 'macro-biotic like' diet. Although he also received hormone therapy, the surgeon initially felt he had made an error in diagnosis because the secondaries in the bones vanished so rapidly. However his PSA rapidly dropped from 211 to under 1!pThis, and other clinical experiences over many years suggested to me a relationship between diet and cancer, especially some animal products but milk in particular. Milk is designed as an interim food, from birth until weaning and cow's milk is for calves. (There is an argument for 'formula' if mother cannot breast-feed). Cow's milk derives from various grasses, and similar nutrients are found in the green-leafy vegetation which people eat. Dairy products are irrelevant to the human diet. I feel it wiser to restrict or avoid dairy foods until proved safe and healthy to eat.
A must full for all breast/prostate cancer sufferers March 21, 2002

I wish I had found this book earlier - it is now my reference book and I go back to it constantly as I am currently in remission from Breast Cancer diagnosed 1999. Have tried the diet for almost a year and feel great. I have also found out that Astra Zeneca produce Tamoxifen without Lactose (as a special only) - so why are not all of them without lactose - In light of the revelation in the Sunday Times, 10/03/02 (News in Brief)where it states that scientists now have linked the high consumption of dairy products with prostate cancer!!! Is it the dairy industry we are protecting? Start reading your food labels - you'll be surprised what they contain that is not needed.
A must read for anyone concerned about cancer. September 22, 2001

My wife is currently receiving treatment for breast cancer. How I wish Your Life In Your Hands had been available say four years ago and we had read and acted upon the message the book contains then. If we had then it seems there is a strong possibility that Carol might have been spared this disease. In the book the Professor (an Earth Scientist) tells of her encounters with breast cancer which visited a total of five times. The fifth time saw her turn her scientific brain toward discovering what was triggering this awful disease. After studying worldwide data Professor Plant realised that the incidence of the disease in many oriental countries was exceedingly low at home yet when the people moved to the west and adopted a western diet their incidence of this disease soared. Setting about studying why this was she realised that the diet in these countries did not include neither dairy produce nor meat from dairy animals. Cutting out dairy from what she was consuming and eating a well balanced diet saw her final inoperable tumour shrink and vanish. That was over seven years ago. Professor Plant presents compelling evidence that the same link applies to prostate cancer.pI'm pleased to find that many oncology staff I have met now recommending the book to breast cancer patients. In my opinion this is a book that needs to be urgently placed upon the reading list of every one with an open mind especially health professionals and politicians?...

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2003 and luckily remembered reading about Jane Plant's theories in the paper a few months earlier. I bought the book immediately and I don't know how I would have survived those first weeks without it. The book gives hope and also something positive to focus on so that I felt I was in some control of my disease. Jane Plant points out that the many women she has told of her food and lifestyle changes, have remained free of recurrence and the only women who have had a recurrence or died were the ones who continued to eat dairy produce. The fact that Jane Plant had breast cancer herself and is a scientist makes this a very believable book as all her facts are backed by good scientific evidence. If you or someone you care for is diagnosed with breast cancer you must buy this book. I bought 2 so that I could lend one of them out to friends so that they may not have to go through the nightmare I have had to endure
