Product Description
A radical synthesis of science and personal experience that advocates a sea change in the way we understand and confront cancer
When David Servan- Schreiber, a dedicated scientist and doctor, was diagnosed with brain cancer, it changed his life. Confronting what medicine knows about the illness, the little known workings of the bodys natural cancer-fighting capacities, and his own will to live, Servan-Schreiber found himself on a fifteen-year journey from disease and relapse into scientific exploration, and finally to health. Combining memoir with a clear explanation of what makes cancer cells thrive and what inhibits them, and describing both conventional and alternative ways to slow and prevent cancer, Anticancer is revolutionary in its clarity. It is a moving story of a doctors inner and outer search for healing; radical in its discussion of the environment, lifestyle, and trauma; and inspiring and cautionary in its certainty that cancer cells lie dormant in all of usand we all must care for the terrain in which they exist.
Anticancer takes us on a serious journey and, ultimately, an empowering one. In the tradition of Michael Pollan, John Kabat- Zinn, Barbara Kingsolver, and Andrew Weil, Anticancer genuinely guides us to a new way of life.

There are many different sources for information to keep you healthy but here it is all in one book. You can avoid cancer and be healthy while doing it

Informative and eye-opening. A new way (to me, anyway) of looking at cancer from an empowering point of view, where one makes choices on how to deal with the disease (if you already have it), or how to avoid it for life. I have put in practice a few ideas of the book, and have given a copy to my mom and sister. Highly recommend the read.

I've barely been able to say the word "cancer" aloud since my mother died when I was 14. One of my maternal aunts died 9 years later, and the other has had a malignancy removed. This is the first book about cancer that I've ever had the nerve to read cover-to-cover. In fact, I've re-read it several times in the week that I've owned it. This book is full of real, solid hope for those of us with cancer in our family line and even for those who are already fighting the disease.
Have bought a dozen or more copies so far... November 3, 2008

Last year I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer with metastasis in the liver and lymphs. I was given several months to live. I've rewritten my prognosis and have stunned the doctors. I am their poster child for recovery... How did I do it?
After enduring three major surgeries, two "near death" experiences, and over $600,000 in medical bills in one year, I have pondered this topic more than most...
This is the missing link as far as I'm concerned. Modern oncology does little to address those things other than standard allopathic treatments. There's so much more!
Buy it for yourself and your loved ones but let me get another dozen or so first... LOL. This is a great book. You need it.

Every person facing any health challenge should read this book, written by the doctor who became the educated patient. It is so easy to read and understand. It clearly defines the link between cancer and diet and gives documented proof of natural diet choices.
