A too-balanced review
21 Sep 2000
Format:Paperback
Compared to other books like David Bognar's "Cancer: Increasing Your Odds for Survival" and Michael Lerner's classic and profound "Choices in Healing," this book is weak indeed. It is nothing more than a laundry list of a variety of alternative therapies, all presented with a dry and straight-faced summarization. Had I not read other and better books on the same subject, I would have walked away from this volume certainly no wiser and probably more confused about non-traditional cancer treatments. A real disappointment to me as a recovering cancer patient trying to avoid recurrence. If you are looking for the definitive work on the subject, put your money elsewhere.

An excellent no nonsense appraisel
3 Jan 2000
Format:Paperback
This book surprised me as I was expecting an anti-traditional therapy tirade. Instead I found a well balanced up to date summary of alternative therapies with excellent reference material and a writing style that reflected the authors compassion.I feel this book should be read by everyone not just cancer patients as the list of preventative measures available will prolong a lot of lives.The authors frequently stress the importance of using suggested therapies as an assistance to traditional therapies not as an alternative.I feel the knowledge I have gained from reading this book will prolong my own life as well as others I will share the information with.I long for the day when the public will rise en-masse and take responsibility for their own lives. Easy to find summaries.A valuable Reference Work.

Interesting, but outdated
25 Jan 2001
Format:Paperback
Cancer therapy is a rapidly moving target. New alternatives are introduced each day. This book written in 1994 has very little of the newer alternatives. I found it to be of little use in finding some new alternative.
