5.0 out of 5 stars Telling the truth, June 16, 2000

This review is from: Cancer Diagnosis: What to Do Next (Paperback)

This book tells the truth on what is available in the fight against cancer. After speaking to doctors who gave my loved one NO HOPE and said "there is nothing to be done", when they should have said WE DONT know what to do. This book is the American way. Bravo! Shame on the medical industry.

5.0 out of 5 stars The quintessential reference guide, August 24, 2004

This review is from: Cancer Diagnosis: What to Do Next (Paperback)

In my six years of research on alternative cancer treatment, this book gave me more information than any other. It is artfully arranged with helpful sidebars (key points, definitions, etc.) and anecdotal stories to reinforce the subject. It is wonderfully documented with a great index and 27 pages of endnotes (references for each chapter).

From treating your teeth to detoxifying to herbs to effective tests to immune system rebuilding, I found nothing in this book to disagree with. This is unusual, because many of the topics they discuss are quite controversial. This is simply a tribute to Dr. Diamond, Dr. Cowden and Burton Goldberg and their comprehensive research and writing skill.

Use this book to give you a comprehensive overview of your cancer and your options. Then, update it with some research on the Internet. I learn something new about cancer treatment every day, so no book can be complete. This one comes closest to being the "bedside reader" that every cancer patient needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cancer Diagnosis: What To Do Next, February 9, 2003

By

This review is from: Cancer Diagnosis: What to Do Next (Paperback)

W. John Diamond, M.D., a board-certified pathologist and alternative medicine expert, and W. Lee Cowden, M.D., who is board-certified in internal medicine, cardiovascular disease, and clinical nutrition, joined forces with Burton Goldberg, author of numerous books on alternative medicine, to write Cancer Diagnosis: What To Do Next.

Many people don't know where to turn for information when diagnosed with cancer. And the answers they often get from medical professionals include few options. Lack of knowledge causes many people to undergo treatments they don't want.
Goldberg says that "there is no single magic bullet cure for cancer. Many factors contribute to the development of cancer and many modalities and substances must be used to reverse it."

The authors emphasize that never giving up hope is a critical first step in cancer treatment, no matter what therapy is chosen. They then outline some positive steps that patients can take that will help them chose the therapy that's best for them. Included in this section is a simple test that reveals whether a tumor will respond to chemotherapy, and if so, what the smallest effective dosage is.

They also discuss the causes of cancer, and offer suggestions for prevention and early detection. They provide complete information about testing methods used by alternative practitioners that aid in developing effective treatment plans.

Nutrition plays a big role both in prevention and treatment of cancer, and the authors explain how to choose the best diet for you. They also explain the role of supplements, such as vitamins and minerals, in strengthening the body.

Herbs and other nontoxic therapies can be very helpful for many people. All the details are included, as well as complete information on techniques for stimulating the immune system. Detoxification and energy therapies are also explained.
Detoxification is especially important because of all the pollutants in our air, water, and food. According to the authors, "most conventional doctors do not take these factors into consideration when treating cancer."

Each chapter includes "Quick Definitions," which are explanations of medical terms, in the margins, making it easy to understand the text. Whenever a special test or procedure is discussed, contact information is provided.

"Alternative medicine has established the causes of cancer--from radiation and dietary factors and pesticide residues to stress and dental factors and free radicals--and has safe, nontoxic, and effective therapies that can address each one." Cancer Diagnosis gathers all this information into one easy-to-use book. It's an essential reference for anyone desiring full information on treatment options.
