We just celebrated my wife's 10 year anniversary, since Mayo Clinic first diagnosed her cancer, and she appears completely cancer free. Plays 2 hours of tennis on Monday mornings, and 36 or more holes of golf, on championship courses, every week. Absolutely no symptoms what so ever.
During these last 8.5 years since meeting Bill, and using his book, we used the Budwig Diet (3.5 tablespoons of flax oil), Transfer Point Beta Glucan (2.5 caps/day), Catalyn (3 per day, from Standard Process), and improved her diet (no ice cream, and more veggies primarily). Tried Essiac Tea for the first few weeks, but the taste was bad enough she would not continue it.
I still make the Budwig Diet for lunch almost every day, for both of us. She has cut back to about 2 tablespoons of Flax Oil the last 6 months and I still use 3 tablespoons of FO. I have no cancer problems, but have found it has solved my rosacea and dry skin problems. It's also my "cheap" insurance against cancer, and is a great meal substitute. We have evolved to adding a frozen triple berry blend (from Sam's), orange juice, and stevia (Now Foods Better Stevia), after thoroughly mixing the FO and CC. This is the only recipe that we have been able to enjoy for a long period of time - over 3 years now. I actually look forward to lunch.
Now time to review OUTSMART YOUR CANCER, 2nd Ed. I wished I had bought it when I first bought Cancer-Free, over 8 years ago. Tanya Pierce, like Bill, has taken a difficult topic, and done an excellent job for us lay people. Tanya defines jargon as she goes, and makes complex topics very clear. With 506 pages in OUTSMART vs 375 in CANCER-FREE, she has a lot more welcome details, that adds clarity and is much more interesting. At times, it was hard to put the book down. For example, her discussion on the Budwig Diet ("Flaxseed Oil and Cottage Cheese" page 207) added some very fascinating details on Dr. Budwig's problems as she developed her protocol. Like her boss wanting to bribe her into not publishing her findings, that would interfere with his financial interests. She said no, had to leave her position, and no one else would hire her, since her boss had blackballed her. But, then she was able to spend a lot more time with patients, and there are over 1000 documented cases where she cured serious cancer cases. And she gives better details on how it works. Very well done! I have multiple books covering Budwig, and hers is by far the best!
But, best of all, she covers several treatments that I had not seen, or at least not in enough detail to make them sound effective and worth pursuing. Like: Protocel, 714X, Hoxsey, Cesium High pH Therapy and others. Anyone of these might have been able to save a friend, dying of Stage IV lung cancer recently. If only I had bought this book out 3 months earlier, I truly believe that either the Protocel or Cesium approach would have worked for him.
She includes additional contact information at the end of each chapter, that includes other sources, phone numbers and website information, and likely costs involved. I've followed some of them, and they have been useful aslo.
Bottom line: I would give it 6 or 7 stars if possible. If you have cancer, or are trying to help someone who does, this is the best single book that I would recommend. She does a good job of showing that there really are practical, effective, and non-toxic solutions available, and includes testimonials, both in the book and in her included audio CD. CANCER-FREE does a better job of providing valuable to help understand the "cancer establishment." Things like issues the patient will encounter with doctors, medical institutions, and even from well-meaning family and friends, and he makes an excellent suggestion of securing an advocate to help make decisions. If the budget allows buying both books, that would be the best of all worlds. If only one, I would go with Outsmart. I will try to respond to comments.

Update: 7-14-16 Just received a very sad email a couple of days ago. Bill Henderson died on July 4th. Not from his Non-Hodgkins's Lymphoma, but from cardiovascular issues. He was making progress with the NHL using natural protocols. For details: [...]. I will miss Bill a lot. I have a lasting memory of helping a friend, Barbara (breast cancer) discuss her problem with Bill, from my kitchen table, as he coached her. We spent about 45 minutes. His caring and patience almost oozed thru the phone. Great guy who helped so many people. His wife, Terry, is going to continue his work. I will update this when I find out more. As I recall, she is a retired nurse, and could do a bang up job.
I highly recommend Ty Bollinger's: "The Truth About Cancer" website: [...]. He is very informative and proactive in fighting cancer, and probably the most active current crusader.
I happened to be given my first copy by a friend, not because of cancer in the family but because of IBD (Irritable Bowel Disease) - certain symptoms of which can also be helped by one of the major therapies described in the book - Protocel*. However, I have passed extra copies of this book on to others, including, most recently, a friend whose young child has aggressive Leukemia.
Amongst several highly-effective non-standard anti-cancer therapies discussed in 'Outsmart Your Cancer', Protocel (again) seemed to be the one which most impressed the author. Her opinion was recently confirmed to me, when, seeking further help for my friend and his child, I stumbled across an outstanding testimony on the Internet, by a courageous Registered Nurse documenting her journey to complete recovery from cancer. Her story is a deliberately detailed and thorough (though entertaining too!) journal, and well-worth the read. I have taken the liberty of inserting a couple of cut/pastes from it (see links below to the full story) which may provide guidance and hope for anyone reading this review who is also feeling confused and afraid.
"This website is a compilation of my weekly diary entries that start with day one...when I was full of cancer, and continue through the end of the year of having no cancer. I'm not an herbal hippy, non-conformist or even a circus side show...I'm a wife, mother, daughter, sister, nurse and friend who could see that the mainstream conventional approach to cancer would be the end of me. I had faith in an alternative path and, at the same time, found journaling my experiences to be cleansing and therapeutic. This website allows my testimony to be available to anyone who chooses to read it and honors my own personal commitment to God to share my story. I am blessed to have lived this miracle and I believe miracles deserve to be shared."
"...a local physician suggested to my husband that I should investigate alternative and other non-chemo options for my now stage 4 cancer and showed us the Protocel pages from the book "Out Smart Your Cancer" by Tanya Harter Pierce. This book, as well as other valuable resources, guided and supported me as I chose the path less traveled."
"I'm in a Constant State of Gratitude 6-10-2012. Today I am reporting that the nodule to my left mid back has all but disappeared. And it's not just about the shrinking of all my palpable tumors. Since I've been on Protocel 23 I have no pain and I'm not bombarded with 27 different medications daily. (...) I have not caught a cold or been sick at all...and my scars from my port insertion and oophorectomy are so faded they are almost nonexistent. Isn't that amazing? The antioxidant properties of Protocel are keeping me in a bubble...healthy and energized."

(*For those interested, this is a brilliant product called Protocel, which can help not only with cancer, but also with IBD, due to its capacity to aid the body in ridding itself of scar tissue (a major problem in the guts of IBD sufferers). In addition to its immune-boosting properties, it also helps the body produce myelin - a product vital in the repair of damaged nerve sheathing - a potential side-effect of certain of the antibiotics necessary to combat the infection(s) which commonly accompany (and in some cases cause) IBD.)
The book Out Smart Your Cancer, (be sure to order the Third Edition) is an Empowering and Valuable Book written in laymen terms! It saved us a lot of time and costly mistakes by helping with questions we don't even know we need to seek answers for. It helped us slow down, to grow in understanding of the Cancer Process before making decisions.
We thank our friend for recommending this book, especially the Protocel and question areas. It helped to understand what to talk to our doctors about. Helping to communicate with them better before making decisions. Through the knowledge learned we also gained mental strength, power and understanding over emotional feelings. This is the best of all the books I read in our cancer journey.
I do not have enough words of gratitude for the knowledge the author of this book helped us gain. We became good stewards of time with the doctors, comfort to ask questions and not feel overwhelmed. It helped us have peace in our planning decisions for treatment. It helped us do more of our own research.

-Si vous traînez votre cancer et que vous finissez par en mourir bout de 5 ans et 1 semaine, les statistiques considèrent que votre traitement a réussi puisque vous étiez encore vivant au bout de 5 ans (c'est sa définition de la "guérison").
-Si votre traitement est prévu pour 6 mois et que vous mourez avant, les statistiques considèrent que vous l'avez interrompu avant la fin et vous sortent du décompte.
-Enfin, si vous mourez d'un cancer du poumon (1/3 du total des morts par cancer), c'est de votre faute car vous avez provoqué votre cancer en fumant. Donc les statistiques ne prennent pas en compte ce type de cancer.
En biaisant ainsi les chiffres, les statistiques affirment que l'on guérit dans 50% des cas, les chiffres réels devant être plus proches de 2%. Les traitements (chimiothérapie et rayons) sont très cancérigènes et vous aident à mourir de votre mal ou d'un autre.
La chirurgie est le seul remède "officiel" efficace quand il est possible d'extirper entièrement la tumeur (avec assez de tissus alentour), et qu'elle n'a pas encore métastasé. Ce cas est rare car, la maladie étant silencieuse, elle a très probablement déjà métastasé lorsqu'elle est diagnostiquée, les examens n'étant pas assez sensibles pour détecter les nouvelles métastases avant grossissement.
On sait depuis longtemps ce qu'est un cancer et comment il se développe.
Il existe donc depuis longtemps un grand nombre de traitement alternatifs non toxiques dont certains bien plus efficaces. De nombreuses personnes guéries sont là pour en témoigner, souvent plus de 20 ans après.
Hélas, il est interdit de faire des statistiques pour valider ces méthodes, car les autorités et lobbies déploient de gros efforts pour que ça ne se sache pas, interdire aux médecins de les prescrire, avec une grosse publicité pour les accuser de charlatanisme, informer le public que ces méthodes alternatives ne marchent pas et décourager de les utiliser.
Quand les médecins qui les appliquent subissent un procès pour avoir désobéi aux protocoles obligatoires, ils s'en sortent souvent par le témoignage des patients qu'ils ont guéri. Mais les immenses intérêts économiques qu'ils dérangent continuent à les poursuivre pour les décrédibiliser.
Le livre est ensuite une encyclopédie (non exhaustive) des traitements qui fonctionnent. Il explique pourquoi et comment ça marche, les ennuis qu'ont subi leurs inventeurs ou promoteurs et liens pour utiliser chaque traitement.
C'est le seul endroit où est expliqué le fonctionnement du Protex, cette petite bouteille marron dont il faut prendre une gorgée chaque 6 heures jour et nuit jusqu'à dissolution complète du cancer que l'on évacue sous la forme de glaires blanchâtres par presque tous les orifices du corps humain.
Les traitements qui marchent sont si nombreux que l'on est dans l'embarras du choix.
Le livre essaye de donner des conseils pour choisir en fonction par exemple du temps et du budget dont on dispose, etc. Mais il vous laisse finalement libre de votre choix.
Beaucoup de malades croient la grosse publicité faisant déconsidérer ces méthodes alternatives qui pourtant ont fait leur preuves, et se confient à la médecine officielle...
Dommage que le livre ne soit pas traduit en français. L'anglais est bien écrit et facile à lire.
L'auteure a pu écrire ce livre car elle n'est pas médecin et ne risque pas d'être destituée. Elle le publie comme le résultat de ses recherches personnelles à l'occasion du cancer d'un de ses proches.
Anyone who has undergone conventional treatment for cancer will have understood that chemotherapy (injecting toxins directly into the blood stream in an attempt to poison the cancer) and radiation (an attempt to burn the cancer) are incredibly crude, imprecise methods that destroy good tissue with the bad, with no certainty of success. Only conventional surgery, where possible, has a record of some success.
The future of cancer therapy therefore has to be something different. This book describes 19 alternative therapies that have given results. One thing that strikes a reader coming to this field for the first time is the novelty and intellectual finesse that define some of these therapies. Many of these practitioners cannot be dismissed as "quacks". They are brilliant biological scientists and researchers. Rather, it is the chemo oncologists, with their blind adherence to protocol and their "one size fits everyone" culture, who can be more correctly described as "quacks".
If you or a person close to you is struggling with cancer, this is a "must read" book.
It was awesome, demystifying some of the alternative cancer approaches, and offering alternatives to surgery, radiation and chemo. Also, some suggestions for prevention. It took some of the fear of cancer away.
