Despite decades of false assurances, we are losing the winnable war against cancer. The hand-in-glove generals of the federal NCI and the "nonprofit" ACS have betrayed us. These institutions have spent tens of billions of taxpayer and charity dollars, promoting treatment, while ignoring strategies for preventing cancer, other than quitting smoking. As a result, cancer rates have escalated to epidemic proportions, now striking nearly one in two men and more than one in three women. Paradoxically and criminally, the more we spend on fighting cancer, the more cancer we get. And there is much more. The NCI and ACS are rife with conflicts of interest with the cancer drug industry. This book also details how the NCI and ACS are sitting on mountains of information on avoidable causes of cancer, while failing to act on this and making it available to Congress and the public. This book explains how we can win the war against cancer with strategies including "right-to-know" laws, ensuring public dissemination of critical information on avoidable causes of cancer, and Congressional reform to ensure that the NCI protects the public rather than special interests.

Read this book ... it exposes the dark side of the cancer industry.

Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2019

If you have cancer and are under treatment, the information in this book is scary. I can easily see why people are not trusting the government and big pharma. It is all about profit ... BIG profit. If an inexpensive cure for cancer is found, all of the major pharmaceutical companies would lobby the government to stop it from being approved. The cancer “industry” is not about finding a cure, or prevention. That would severely harm their sustainable business model.

This man has done so much to pull the covers off the fraud that the non-profit industrial complex has perpetrated on us all. Epstein is also documented in the film "The Corporation" from 2002 discussing the evils of corporations on our health care system and ultimately our lives. Excellent book!

Knowledge is the oxygen of democracy

Professor Samuel Epstein has written a gripping, informative, thought provoking and confronting book that provides a graphic insight into the machinations, incestuous and pecuniary relationships, of hypocrisy at its extreme indifference, and nonsensical 'spin' of the National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society and the Federal Drugs Administration.

I was very disappointed in how this book was constructed

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

I found this book to be tone of the most poorly written books that I have ever had the displeasure to read.
After you have read the first couple of chapters you have garnered all the information that you will want to obtain from this book.
The following chapters are nothing more than just a rewrite of the first few chapters.
I was very disappointed in how this book was constructed.
I have no issues with the message that the book is trying to convey.

Great update-- looks readable and well-organized. Not to say there aren't worthy predecessor books by Ralph Moss, etc., etc.
