The Art of Cytology: an Illustrative Study Guide with Micronutrient Discussions

This cellular nutrition book, filled with numerous color illustrations and backed by countless medical references, depicts how key micronutrients regulate cell division, diferentiation, and function to help prevent birth defects, cancer, and disease procecess. It is dedicated to cytologists who screen microscopically for cancer, and also health professionals and laypersons interested in knowing what diseased cells look like under the microscope and what we can do to prevent their occurrence in our daily living. Part I contains (21) 4"x6" finely detailed color pencil cytology drawings accompanied by identifying criteria and discussions depicting: 1) The Cell and the nutrient/gene connection; 2) Folic Acid Deficiency (FAD) within cervical cells and the GI tract; 3) Opportunistic Viruses and Fungi (HPV, HSV, CMV, moluscum contagiosum, RSV, adenovirus, Candida, Blastomycoses, Pneumocystis, Coccidioides, Cryptococcus, and Histoplasmosis). These composite drawings display cellular features according to the Pap stain as well as special stains when required. Part II discusses how micronutrients activate key enzymes and genes, guarding the human genome from DNA mutations that can manifest into birth defects, cancer, heart disease, and neurological disorders. Indepth information has been compiled on folic acid deficiency, linking it to inborn errors in metabolism, poor diets, and chronic hormone, drug, and alcohol use as well as HPV and cancer. Extensive research has been compiled on the antioxidants, zinc, vitamin A, C, and E as well. Suzanne next gives a thorough report on menopause and osteoporosis and also a complete history of estrogen use, underlining its serious risks. She concludes Part II with her "Color Diet" which promotes a diet rich in organic produce, whole grains, and wild caught fish. Part III contains (17) 8"x10" full color cytopathology illustrations for intense viewing. This revolutionary art and science book is a great addition to any medical school libra
