This book is another platform for the American Cancer Society to disregard the science behind alternative cancer cures. Allopathic medicine has a horrendous record with cancer treatment but it makes a lot of money, so it continues its propaganda campaign against alternatives that work. The FDA, AMA, ACS, and NIH, are rampant with conflict of interest ties to the pharmaceutical industry and they want to keep their medical monopoly intact at any cost.
The allopathic cancer industry uses wordplay to improve their dismal record of "cures". For instance, a "cure" is considered a person who is alive for five years after diagnosis of their cancer. It doesn't matter if the person is horribly ill with cancer for the whole five years, as long as that person lived for five years, even if doing chemo and radiation the entire time! If that person dies five years and one day after diagnosis, they are still written up as a cure and used in statistics to support allopathy's inferior product. No other branch of medicine uses such a smoke and mirrors word play to sell their wares.
If you want to know what's really going on with alternative and allopathic cancer therapy, you'll need to read Outsmart Your Cancer by Tanya Pierce, or Cancer: Step Outside the Box by Ty M. Bollinger. But beware; you'll need a strong stomach for the allopathic medical politics that are revealed in both books.
I cured my cancer with alternatives written about in those books. There are many, many others who have done the same.
Open your mind; it will save your life.

As a research librarian with substantive industry experience in oncology gorups, who has reviewed 1000s of articles and hundreds of texts in my career, I can authoratively state that this work offers an excellent highly detailed review that is easy to read for both the lay person and for the professional. It offers cited sources and offers some discussion of the natural products in other non-cancer indications as well.

This is a great reference book, clear and objective. Provided great information. It validated some things that we are doing right, and provided insite as to things that can have unwanted consequences. Especially with everyone and their dog claiming to have a cancer cure or prevention.

Very comprehensive--much more information that I will ever use but nice to know it is there if I need it. I had been spending alot of time researching various therapies until I found out about this book. It will save me alot of time and worry, as I am my husband's (lymphoma and currently receiving chemotherapy) primary caregiver. Obviously I want to support his recovery in all ways possible, and this book makes those efforts easier. It also provides us with the information we need to intelligently raise and discuss options with his oncology team.

I have been using this a lot as a great reference to which herbal supplements are effective and safe to take. I feel this is a must have book for anyone who is interested in trying to take vitamins or herbal supplements to help with their fight against cancer.
