Fruit and Vegetble Nonsense

A recent Associated Press article reported that fruit and vegetables don't help prevent recurrence of breast cancer according to research published in JAMA. This is misleading nonsense. This same study found a 50% decrease in recurrence in women who ate more fruit and vegetables and exercised regularly as reported in Journal of Clinical Oncology. Go to www.healingradio.blogspot.com to hear Dr. Shintani's commentary on this unfortunately misleading article.

Dr. Hoffmann was born and raised in Haifa, Israel, graduated the Hebrew University, Hadassah Medical School in Jerusalem, Israel, completed an Internal Medicine Residency at Booth Memorial Medical Center in Queens New York, and has been practicing Internal Medicine in Hawaii since 1989.

Dr. Hoffmann practices a holistic approach to medicine, believing that it is vitally important to treat each individual rather than treating a disease process. She strongly believes in the healing powers of nature, as well as in the role of the physician as healer and educator, and strives to empower her patients to become active in maintaining and improving their well being.
