Product Description

Synopsis
All of us have cancer cells in our bodies. But not all of us will develop cancer. This international bestseller examines what we can do every day to lower our chances of ever developing the illness, and also explains what to do to increase the chances of recovery from it. Dr David Servan-Schreiber was first confronted with cancer when he was working as a medical resident in Pittsburgh. Already a recognized pioneer in neuroscience, by his own admission David had all the arrogant and immortal confidence of a thirty-year-old over-achiever. Then he discovered he had cancer of the brain. And his life changed. Servan-Schreiber went on to research alternative medicine and became the founding director of the Centre of Integrative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Centre. This book is the fruit of his experience in the field of cancer both as a doctor and as a patient. He alternates chapters that tell his personal story and cases he has come across, with chapters that focus on the disease and its mechanisms from a purely scientific and medical angle. He looks in particular at the relation between a body and its cancer, at the immune system, the new blood vessels necessary for cancer growth, and the roles played by environmental toxins, nutrition, emotions, and physical activity in containing cancer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sensible, logical no-nonsense approach to living with cancer, 29 Oct 2008
By Rachel Fk Loudon "Eternal Optimist" (Ex-pat UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are many books and websites out there that claim to 'cure' cancer, that the medical profession is involved in a giant conspiracy theory to keep the drugs companies in business.

David Servan-Schrieber takes a thorough, no-nonsense approach to cancer and how it develops. As both a doctor and a cancer survivor, he looks at case studies along with his own and outlines a number of mechanisms which, whilst not proven through clinical trials, have had enough positives effects on a substantial number of sufferers to have a significance. A combination of diet (not proscriptive), good mental attitudes and exercise - have in very many cases enabled patients with advanced stages of cancer to live beyond doctors' expectations with a good quality of life. Much is common sense, but it is easy to read and offers a number of easy alterations to your life, which may help prevent the onset of cancer, or further development of existing disease. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars An essential read, 15 Feb 2009
By S. Lumley (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I work in Nutrition and support people with Cancer and this is probably just one of a handful of books I recommend to patients and their families. Well written, excellent scientific support and good personal input from the Author. Too many health / Cancer books put the fear of God into patients and create additional stress and anxiety; whilst this one provides good, honest information and support. The pull out mini booklet is a useful bonus.

5.0 out of 5 stars An encouraging read, 24 Feb 2009
By S. K. Laird - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I help out in a cancer drop-in centre and this book is often picked up and taken home by those who have cancer, and those caring for them. The author is a doctor himself, who has cancer. He has looked beyond the orthodox establishment to what has helped him, as well as looked at the research. In the back cover there is a little booklet which lists helpful foods, so you can see at a glance, some of the information from the book.
