I have lost a number of friends to cancer, and nearly all of them chose the traditional cancer treatment - namely, cut out the cancer, radiation, chemo therapy, etc. Naturally I am interested in alternative cancer treatment, since the traditional did not work for my friends. I was intrigued by this book.
Biava approaches cancer in a different way. Instead of destroying the cancer, why not re-program the cancer cells - training them to operate in a different way? He claims that this is already done in a human embryo; there is a built in 'life protection' mechanism that often re-differentiates cancer cells before they can do any harm. He acknowledges that the research is still ongoing, but it is very promising.
I have to admit that I had to re-read some portions before I understood them. This book has some complicated medical explanations. But Biava has a friendly style. His writing has a 'ring of truth' that is refreshing in this propaganda-filled world.
