Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
In this consumer's guide, the author of The Cancer Industry ( LJ 2/15/80; LJ 10/15/89, rev. ed.) discusses alternative cancer therapies that include vitamins, minerals, herbs, diets, immune boosters, and other substances. He also covers conventional chemotherapy and bone marrow transplantation but emphasizes their adverse effects. Though he provides references to scientific articles, most of them are animal or tissue culture studies; there is no information about the effectiveness of these treatments for humans. A strongly worded disclaimer encourages readers to seek medical advice before using these treatments, and a handshake symbol in the text indicates a substance that is compatible with conventional therapies. Moss also includes a resource list of organizations concerned with cancer treatment. Malin Dollinger, M.D. & others' Everyone's Guide to Cancer Therapy ( LJ 5/15/91) offers a detailed, objective overview of current cancer care that is a more appropriate choice for most collections, but Cancer Therapy is a useful addition to collections where there is interest in alternative health treatments.
