The Star: Review of "A Call to Women"

"A Call to Women: The Healthy Breast Program and Workbook, by naturopath Sat Dharam Kaur, is 191 pages long.

If a woman followed every single bit of its advice on how to avoid breast cancer - let's just say it would be awfully unfair if she got the disease. Imagine, changing your whole life for nothing: worrying about parasites, eating things called "Mung Bean and Broccoli Delight," not drinking wine or coffee or using nail polish (toxic, lowers immunity), jumping on a rebounder for hours (boosts immune system), employing the dreaded enema, and stopping being angry, too passive, too aggressive, too dominating, too anxious to please ... and possibly too easily influenced by books like this?

To be fair, Kaur provides extensive footnotes and a bibliography to back up what she says and advises taking the book a bit at a time. "Develop a positive relationship with your body and breasts and put your well-being ahead of family and job responsibilities," Kaur advises. Published by Quarry press, Kingston, Ont., the book costs $35."
