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
