A Clear Mind Opening Book!, February 17, 2009
This review is from: The Doctor Who Cures Cancer (Paperback)
This "how to" book is a life-saving breakthrough in cancer treatment -- or rather in cancer CURES -- because that is the crux of Dr. Revici's research and life's work as skillfully recounted by Kelley Eidem.
Can diet alone effect a genuine cure? Yep. Pretty much so.
Has Dr. Revici been unreasonably reviled by Establishment Medicine? Yep. Viciously so.
Does the American Cancer Society really have a clue about cancer CURES? Nope. Not a whisper!
Further, ACS gets into fits over non-existent "side effects" imagined by them as a result of Dr. Revici's practically non-invasive treatments. (Silly me. I thought the radiation, chemotherapy and surgery recommended by this august group actually made one a bit uncomfortable! Have I been misinformed?)
As I was reading this I was vaguely reminded of Jonas Salk. (I'm barely old enough to remember the family discussions and too old to have gotten the vaccine early enough, though I came through OK.) Salk didn't kill us all, did he? And those pesky side effects resulting from the refusal to acknowledge the value of his work practically killed my aunt.
The main point of the book is "AMERICA! WAKE UP! TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR OWN HEALTH!"
The author clearly outlines Dr. Revici's philosophy and details some of the specific treatments, including a knockout FOREWARD by an extraordinarily esteemed "establishment" Board Certified Radiation Oncologist. The overwhelming evidence of efficacy using Revici's treatments defies the out-of-hand dismissal slapped down by the American Cancer Society (who went so far as to revile Dr. Revici's book!)
Without recommending that the reader embrace the philosophy, Mr. Eidem is advocating to simply level the playing field. One which will permit genuine testing, one which will decry book banning, one which will grant the consumer a choice in his own personal health care.
As can be expected there are lots of testimonials. (Too many for me, but I'm able to assess the science with a bit more ease than some might be and the stories are touching and motivating.) That's my only complaint. I'd like to have seen more science included but now I'm motivated to try to get my hands on a copy of the "banned" book, especially since there is no LIST OF REFERENCES other than the Doctor himself.
Dr. Revici is deceased now, but there is still an established "clinic" or whatever in New York as I understand it. Apparently, the powers-that-be in Medicine and the FDA just hate it. [The FDA can't manage to stop 'e. coli' laden peanuts from total distribution into our national food supply, but they have guns for intimidating genuine healers!]*
One thing that's remarkable is Dr. Revici's editing of the Periodic Chart. (Though I loathed inorganic chemistry, I just love studying the Periodic Chart to this day and now I've a great new perspective!)
In any event, there's science enough to force any clear thinking person to at least consider his ideas. On a personal level, I'd certainly opt for Revici's methods -- edited down to a simple diet change -- as the primary level of dealing with cancer. Radiation, chemotherapy and surgery are the most damaging and potentially lethal approaches and need to be relegated to "last resort" status instead of primary status for treatment.
This book will at least open your mind to that notion.
*That's not in the book ... my own knowledge.

Wake Up People, February 6, 2010
This review is from: The Doctor Who Cures Cancer (Paperback)
You would think that in the twenty-first century people would know better than to blindly trust the medical establishment that is making billions from keeping people sick. And yet, so many have bought into the paternal attitude of the AMA and the FDA. We no longer live in the Dark Ages when people like Galileo were persecuted for making scientific discoveries. It's time to wake up and start exploring and you will find the truth. This book is a good place to start.
The Doctor Who Cures Cancer is the well-written story of a brilliant and compassionate doctor who was able to cure cancer fifty years ago. His methods and the science behind them are thoroughly explored in the book. Then why are we still waging a war on cancer today--and losing? Simple. Follow the money. The medical establishment is making too much by torturing and mutilating cancer patients with chemo, radiation, and surgery. Think the FDA will protect you? No. They're the ones jailing and condemning people like Dr. Revici who cure cancer.
Get this book if you want to learn about how one doctor fought the system and cured people. But let it be just the beginning of opening your mind and raising your awareness about cancer and modern medicine. Read. Research. Question everything your doctor says--it's your body and you have a right to whatever treatment you choose for yourself.

This book opened my eyes!, May 18, 1999
By A Customer
What a facinating story! This book is filled with dozens of accounts of people who had REALLY advanced cancers, but who were COMPLETELY cured. According to my understanding, the patients would have died had they continued with the protocols of standard medicine.
The foreword is written by a radiation oncologist who has quite impressive things to say about this unusual but non-toxic way of treating cancer.
The author also tells the sordid role of organized medicine without rancor. If this book ever hits the top ten, heads might roll.
One annoyance is the sloppy editing. There are numerous typos in the front of the book, and an errata sheet which basically tells the reader that basic explanations are backwards!
Still, the story ought to be read by everyone.
