About The Art of Cytology This
cytology textbook is a reference for common cytology entities such as
benign cellular 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. See Dedications & Table of Contents for details.
"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 enquiries 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."--Genevieve Warner Learmonth. 9/11/2011
“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

"Dear Ms.
Adams,
I have indeed received a copy of your beautiful book. I
enjoyed reading your very interesting concepts and I hope that the book
will meet with a great deal of success, as it deserves." --Leopold

"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,

"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 "Father

"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 micronutrients 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), former teaching supervisor in cytotechnology at William Beaumont Hospital and Henry Ford Hospital, Detroit, MI. "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." --Anna
