Editorial Review:

At age thirty-one David Servan-Schreiber was a rising neuroscientist with his own laboratory for brain imaging funded by the National Institutes of Health. While testing brain-scanning equipment, he discovered a tumor the size of a walnut in his own brain. This is the moving story of how a researcher and scientist who believed only in conventional treatments was transformed into an integrative physician who realized the importance and power of the body's natural defenses against chronic disease.

Dr. Servan-Schreiber's advice details how to find the right blend of traditional and alternative health care; how to develop a science-based anticancer diet (and the small changes that can make a big difference); the top ten household products to replace; understanding the effects of helplessness and "unhealed wounds" both physical and emotional, and how to regain balance; and how to reap the benefits of exercise, yoga, and meditation.

Anticancer takes us on an inspiring personal journey and ultimately guides us to a new way of life.

Great to heal any body!:

This book is great for vegetarians or anyone looking to improve their health or change their eating habits. Easy to read and understand.

EXCELLENT INFORMATION RESOURCE:

This book was recommended to me at the cancer center that my wife is being treated at by a staff member there. It is full of very useful information and clears up a lot of the unknown factors and gives ideas and places for research to understand what is going on. I would recommend the book to anyone who wants to get as much information as they can on the subject whether it is for you or a loved one you are caring for.

Life changing experience.:

As a medical oncologist, I thoroughly enjoy this book! The story is compelling that it comes from a cancer survivor and an outstanding scientist who really put together wonderful information in regard to life style management to fight cancer. The information provided is not from one's wild imagination but with sound scientific data. This is what we were desperately lacking in oncology practice for so long. It is not only a good read for cancer patients and care providers, also a wonderful book for anyone... more info

A lifesaver!!:

Bought this book for my husband, who has suffered the last 2 years from both renal and prostate cancer. Ended up using it for both of us - he is now cancer-free and I've lost weight and controlled my triglycerides! Thank you!!!
