Book Reviews of Anticancer: A New Way of Life
Book Review: Well-documented guide to nutritional cancer-fighting
Summary: 5 Stars
As a stage-4 cancer patient, I find the dietary recommendations in Anti-Cancer to be an excellent adjunct to regular medical treatment (chemo) plus regular chiropractic to stay as healthy as possible while living with cancer. Using all three approaches, I am so far having improved quality of life, less discomfort, and am able to enjoy increased vitality every day, though my cancer is not considered to be "curable." The book offers suggested foods that have been shown to be efficacious against specific cancer types in addition to listing foods that are generally good for creating environments less encouraging to cancer cell development and growth. The center section has colorful, slick-paged lists and charts conveniently located for quick reference; the rest of the book is in a friendly, accessible style with interesting anecdotes of good outcomes from eating properly. Written for the average reader, not highly technical in style. (And I must admit, I still eat Frosted Flakes now and then, though I rarely have since childhood. One needs a few creature comforts...)Book Review: Amazing Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have never written a review before, but this book has changed my life and I want everyone to read this so I am taking the time to write one now.
I consider myself a healthy person (I workout, eat "right", etc.), however I now even am not buying organic meat anymore and used to drink decaf coffee and now switched to decaf green tea when I read how many things it does right for your body. Also, I had no idea that something like sunflower oil is not optimal for your health compared with olive oil (I was buying organic pretzels that had sunflower oil and thought I was being healthy!)....
He writes his book so that everyone can understand and yet it provides enough medical research to back up his findings and theories that he is proving. It also brings you close to him when he explains how his cancer affected his life.
Cancer runs in my family and I think about growing up how we had to make sure we had protein (meat) at every meal to be healthy and drink milk, etc. Organic was not mainstream in those days!
This is a must read.
Book Review: A Must-Read for Everyone!
Summary: 5 Stars
Being a mom of two small children, I rarely have time to read a book from start to finish without interruption. However, the day I bought this book I had read 40 pages in one sitting and only put it down because the hours sped past midnight before I knew it! I'm very impressed with how Dr. Servan-Schreiber is able to break down extremely complex subjects in cellular and molecular biology in such a way that everyone can understand them. Cancer runs in my family, so I'm always trying to stay current on the science of living healthfully in order to avoid it. This book explains vital information about how to do that. It thoroghly describes what cancer is, how it behaves, and what things are necessary for it to grow. Then Dr. Servan-Schreiber shows you how to deprive a cancer of those things, thus avoiding mestasteses and prolonging life.
Given the cancer epidemic we are currently experiencing in the West, I truly believe this is an important book for everyone to read. You won't regret buying this one.
Book Review: The confirmation of all my research - Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband has just had a recurrence of his colon cancer, and now he is about to undergo radiation and chemo. In my desperation to figure out whether there was a way to prevent this, I started reading everything I could - on the Internet, books, documentaries. I kept a note of all the foods that were supposed to help and changes that I would have to make to our lifestyle. When I finally read Anticancer, it was a summation of everything I had found out, but with much more detail. I trust this man and I believe him. We are doing this to ourselves. I am starting to make the changes so that when my husband has finished his chemo, I will build up his immune system and he will never have cancer again. If you have cancer, read it. And spread the word. America's future depends on us all eating the way that man was supposed to eat - not genetically modified, cruelty free, chemical free, additive free, hormone free, and disease free.Book Review: Both well-researched and well-written
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr.David Servan-Schreiber has managed to write a book that is informative, as well as personal. He details his own bout with cancer, and tells how it affected him both personally and professionally. The program he outlines in preventing cancer is based on extensive research, and his rationale for suggesting these techniques make sense. He goes against western medical tradition in that most medical professionals are more interested in treating existing cancers, instead of preventing them. In his philosophy of tuning into the mind-body continuum, Servan-Schreiber goes against the prevailing medical thought, but also offers a great service to people who may be at risk for cancer onset. As he points out, we all harbor potential tumors in our bodies, and this book tells how to prevent those tumors from taking hold and spreading. Those who follow his advice will be doing much to prevent cancer onset, of that I have no doubt.
