Complementary Oncology is an excellent and open minded exploration of treatment options from a conventional medicine point of view. Even though this book is written by German doctors and researchers engaged in providing conventional care, the discussion is primarily on complementary treatment options and exhibits little or no bias.

Research and potential of many aspects such as exercise, nutrition, psychology, thermography, and many other treatments is well presented (although a bit scientific at times).

Care like proteolytic enzymes apparently is so common in Germany that it isn't even discussed, it's just assumed the patient will include them in their care (they are listed in the back as part of each care plan).

This book isn't for the average cancer patient. However if you have a scientific education and an interest in solid research of topics typically not mentioned or considered by American doctors then this is an excellent book to read. If you are a patient interested in obtaining the best care without bias or a caregiver that desires to be well educated then this book should be a "must have".
