Product description

 

The New York Times bestseller takes us on an empowering journey and changes the way we think about fighting cancer

David Servan-Schreiber's story of his journey from cancer patient to health combines memoir with a clear scientific explanation of what makes cancer cells thrive and what inhibits them. Anticancer is filled with easy to understand charts and diagrams and a sixteen-page color "Anticancer Action" insert that enables readers to make small but essential changes in lifestyle and diet. Your body knows how to fight cancer, says Servan-Schreiber, and you have to help it with nutrition, physical exercise, stress management, and avoiding environmental toxins. Anticancer enables people living with cancer to adopt a proactive attitude to living, even thriving, with cancer and helps healthy people prevent it.

    « Anti cancer book »
    This book is a life changer. It is written so that a lay person can understand it. Having taught at a medical school I can also say that it is very well documented and up-to-date. I advise not only those suffering from cancer but also those who wish to prevent it to read it and share with friends. I purchased several copies to share it with others. READ IT!

    « A new way to fight cancer »
    Great common sense approach for learning to live a life that minimizes the chances that cancer cells will cause an actual cancer to grow. Well-researched and up-to-date. Some new insights to the diet section.

    « No More Feeling Helpless »
    I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 1 1/2 years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy with few problems. Then what? You wait and see if it comes back. The oncologist said there was nothing I could do to increase the chances of remaining cancer-free. Well, not so! This book does a wonderful job of laying out the evidence base for all the suggestions made. The language is clear and concise. Everything the author suggests is doable. I had a very healthy lifestyle before being diagnosed with cancer but there are still many items in the book I was unaware of and have incorporated into my life. It is all good. And best of all, I don't feel I have no choice but to wait and see if the cancer returns.

    « How to survive cancer, before and after »
    I first encountered David Servan-Schreiber through his book The Instinct to Heal, Curing Depression, Anxiety, and Stress without Drugs and without Talk Therapy. I was pleased to find a medical doctor willing to consider alternative medicine in the treatment of mental distress. Now his book Anticancer, A New Way of Life, convinces me that he truly has much to add to our understanding of our bodies and our minds at a time when traditional medicine is beginning to acknowledge that there is something we ourselves can do to bolster our immune systems besides taking more and more medicines. He does not replace traditional medicine, he fortifies it with sound research that anyone can apply to their lives. This book is for those with cancer, those who have survived, and those who don't want to suffer the ravages of this disease in their lives at all. A must read for anyone wanting to make healthy choices in their daily lives.

    This was a great book for those interested in maintaining good health and helping your family do the same. If you are ready for a change looking for health tips, then this book is for you. It is a book that anyone can read to better equip themselves with the knowledge of how cancer starts and grows and what you can do to lower your risk of developing cancer. I highly recommend this book.
