The Art of Cytology is a
textbook with reference to common cytology entities such as
hormone and vitamin deficiency changes, viruses, and fungi. It is also
a cellular
nutrition book backed
by countless medical references depicts how key micronutrients regulate
cell division, differentiation, and function to help prevent birth
defects,
cancer, and disease processes.
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.
This art and science book is a great addition to any medical school
library, laboratory, or patient waiting room.
“Dear Suzanne: What an amazing manuscript, The Art of Cytology!...You are not alone in opining that cancer is in some part caused or promoted by vitamin and mineral deficiencies. As we continue to unravel the secrets of the cells, your findings will become part of our knowledge base, and not just speculation, I am sure." -Dorothy L. Rosenthal, MD, FIAC, Professor of Pathology, Oncology and Gynecology & Obstetrics, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, MD and past president of the American Society of Cytopathology (ASC). See her research report on folic acid and abnormal Paps).
“Dear
Suzanne:
I
am
so
overwhelmed
to
be
the
recipient
of
one
of
your
rare
and
gorgeous
books.
Your
artistic
talents
are
to
be
deeply
admired
and
celebrated.
I
really
have
no
words
to
thank
you
for
this
gift,
other than to tell you that it
completes
an incredible feeling for me which started recently when I was notified
that I am to receive the Papanicolaou
Award in November. Your gift brings
artistic
closure to my medical/scientific efforts, and I thank you deeply for
it.” -David
B. Kaminsky, MD, FIAC, Medical Director, Pathology Inc., Palm

your
very
interesting
concepts
and
I
hope
that
the
book
will
meet
with
a
great
deal
of
success,
as
it

"Suzanne, This book is uniquely presented by combining the vitamin information and the effects on the cellular physiology. I have never seen a book blended in this way, so to me it is a seminal book. Your content is rich with specific notation and current research on the nutrients. I have used this book as a reference. I think this book should be used as a text for health personnel interested in pursuing study in nutrition since the book illustrates the effects of nutritional deficiencies and sufficiency's at the cellular level. Some physicians may need to " see" this effect in order to believe in the power of nutritional healing and health maintenance. Thanks for contributing to the nutritional literature with accurate and well developed material. The artwork was beautifully done. Being a past medical technologist helps me appreciate the delicate work you provided with the cell anatomy. I will certainly recommend it and plan to add it to my professional book list handout." -Christina Minger, EdD, Kalamazoo, MI; Faculty member, Institute of Functional Medicine.
"I
read
your
book
and
was
impressed
with
your
emphasis
on
nutrition
and
cytological
abnormalities.
I
was
also
impressed
by
the
beautiful
illustrations
and
the
extensive
bibliography.
The
references
to
the
work
on
folate
deficiency
and
cervical
dysplasia were welcome, since I had corresponded
with Dr.
Butterworth
about the matter a number of years ago. He had written an
editorial
calling attention to the correlation
between
hyperhomocysteinemia and arteriosclerosis
before I published my first article in the field in 1969. Upon
request
of the cytology staff I have placed your book in the library of our
Cytopathology
department. The cytotechnologists and cytopathologists have your
book available to them for reference. Our
Cytopathology department processes about 8000 specimens annually from
all
of the VA Medical Centers in the New England region. - With thanks and
best wishes for success, Sincerely, Kilmer
McCully,
MD, Chief of Pathology and Laboratory
Medicine Services, VA Boston Healthcare System." Considered the "

"Suzanne, Your work is simply awesome. If only I had a smidgen of your artistic talent I would consider myself lucky. Your illustrations were very helpful to me as a preparation for taking the SCT examination. I also enjoyed your poem " Who are Cytologists?" immensely. Thank you." -Joe M. Martinez, BS, SCT (ASCP), Cytopathology Supervisor, Audie Murphy VA Hospital, San Antonio, TX. “Ah, what a magnificent accomplishment this beautifully illustrated, well-researched publication is! As the education coordinator of two successful schools of cytotechnology, I saw Suzanne grow through her training year and beyond, into a career infused with the deepest caring about professional ethics, patient welfare, education and nutrition. Even in her fledgling student days, she researched the effects of zinc on cellular health. I have had the great pleasure to witness the development of this exquisite book from inception to completion, over several years. Initially, Suzanne's artistically accurate drawings of cells and infectious agents were an inspiration to my cytotechnology students. To see the always-expanding micronutrient sections come together with the vibrant cellular details in this unique volume is rich reward for what has truly been a life's work. Congratulations, Suzanne!” —Susan Dingler, BFA, CT (ASCP), (IAC), my former teaching supervisor in cytotechnology at William Beaumont Hospital . She was also the cytology teaching supervior at Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI.
"Hi
Suzanne,
Having
read
your
reviews
I
am
going
to
try
to
get
copies
of
your
book
for
the
Yvonne
Parfitt
Cytology
Cancer
Research
Laboratory
at
Groote
Schuur
Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa. I am not sure if Amazon
mails books to SA , but I am going to try. In
2002, I noted that many of the bizarre cytopathological changes that we
were
seeing in cervical smears from women with HIV/AIDS were similar to
those
described by van Niekerk in 1966 on smears from women with documented folate
deficiency. I wondered if the HIV/AIDS women were showing evidence
of
folate
deficiency---certainly they were from an impoverished community with a
very
low standard of living. Follow up of many of these women after Anti
Retro Viral
Drugs were made available to them, revealed that the "folate
deficiency
changes" were not present. Further inquiries revealed that these
women
were also being given a mega dose vitamin pill which was difficult to
swallow and
is known as the "rugby ball"!! I published a short paper on these
cytomorphological changes in Acta
Cytol (edited to a Letter) in 2005.
I also
presented it on Africa Calls in 2007. I got excellent feedback from
colleagues
all over Africa who were also puzzled by what they were observing on
smears
from HIV/AIDS positive women. I look forward very much to reading your
book and
using it for teaching and training Cytoscreeners from all over Africa."

"Dear Suzanne: I am researching the role of folic acid and other deficiencies in an attempt to manage my personal diagnosis of ASCUS with an HPV infection of the high risk types. Your article is by far the most comprehensive and useful that I have found, and I wanted to thank you for posting it. I am a corporate analyst with a strong science background, but by no means a professional in medical research. You have given me a direction and many issues to discuss with my gynecologist. I also have a strong desire to participate in research studies and clinical trials to help find a better treatment and maybe a cure. If you are conducting further research or know of anyone who is, please let me know. Thanks, again. What you've done so far has been an enormous help. --Sincerely, Judith."
9/16/04--"Hi
Suzanne,
I
just
wanted
to
e-mail
you
and
let
you
know
how
useful
your
website
with
information
about
HPV
has
been
to
me.
I'm
28
years
old
and
don't
fit
into
most
of
the
"
HPV
stereotypes."
The
diagnosis
of
HPV
has
been
hard
for
me
to
deal
with.
I had a Colposcopy
done and just received my second PAP a few weeks ago. I got a call from
the doctor today saying that my PAP is still abnormal. I feel that I'm
at high risk because I'm over weight, get fairly frequent vagina
bacterial
infections, on the pill, and don't deal with stress well. Your
information about folic acid and vitamins has been extremely helpful
and
gives me some hope that if I change my life style and try to eat better
and take vitamins I might be able to help myself. It's frustrating that
doctors don't give you more information about what you can do to help.
Well
I didn't mean to give you my life story, just wanted to let you know
that
your site has helped. --Thanks again, Heidi."
. 3/9/05-- "I am doing better...went off the pill, have been taking vitamins and my last few colposcopy tests have been clear. --Thanks again, Heidi."
"Dear
Suzanne,
I
can't
tell
you
how
many
people
I
have
turned
on
to
your
site,
since
I
tripped
across
it
sometime
ago,
and
how
many
people
you
have
helped
by
way
of
sharing
your
knowledge
with
us.
You
are
a
positively
rare
and
precious
jewel.
I
am
looking
forward
to
reading
the
new
updates.
Hadn't
checked
in
for
a
while and was quite happy to see the new additions. Thank you
for
doing what you are doing. How much
better
a place the world would be if more people thought and acted like
you."
