Editorial Review:

Product Description:
At age thirty-one David Servan-Schreiber was a rising neuroscientist with his own laboratory for brain imaging funded by the National Institutes of Health. While testing brain-scanning equipment, he discovered a tumor the size of a walnut in his own brain. This is the moving story of how a researcher and scientist who believed only in conventional treatments was transformed into an integrative physician who realized the importance and power of the body's natural defenses against chronic disease.

Dr. Servan-Schreiber's advice details how to find the right blend of traditional and alternative health care; how to develop a science-based anticancer diet (and the small changes that can make a big difference); the top ten household products to replace; understanding the effects of helplessness and "unhealed wounds" both physical and emotional, and how to regain balance; and how to reap the benefits of exercise, yoga, and meditation.

Anticancer takes us on an inspiring personal journey and ultimately guides us to a new way of life.

Unabridged on 7 CDs.




Rating: - Valuable Cancer Education
I hate diet/health book that are all menu and only fuzzy science. Everyone bashes "killer" white sugar, but this book tells you why it justifies the reputation, for example. That's what makes "Anti-Cancer" great. It articulates clearly the differing mechanisms cancer uses to take command of the body's immune system, and presents the latest research on what's effective against the attacks. After reading the book I created a PowerPoint presentation and made kids/family watch!

Rating: - Excellent treatment of a complex topic
In my previous job as a copywriter, I was responsible for seeking out and writing about the latest findings in the field of health and wellbeing. As a trained nurse, I know how to read medical literature and I've developed a pretty good eye for what represents sound research and reasonable conclusions.

Given all that, I had pretty high expectations of this book, and I wasn't disappointed. The fact that the reference section takes up 28 full pages of a 243-page book shows that the book ... Read More

Rating: - How to Partner Your Own Healing
A couple of years ago, I interviewed David Servan-Schreiber on my radio show, "Turn On Your Inner Light" about his excellent book, "The Instinct to Heal." He did a wonderful job noting how exercise improves mood - naturally. After reading "Anti-Cancer" I see that he continues to inspire the reader with science and story. Shakespeare said it well, "Physician heal thyself." David takes it a step farther to help us heal and even better - to prevent disease. While there is no magic cure for cancer, ... Read More

Anticancer: A New Way of Life

This book has been appealing to me both as a cancer survivor and a scientist.
I couldn't stop reading it once I started. Since my reading, I have largely changed my diet, following his advices.

Rating: - Both well-researched and well-written
Dr.David Servan-Schreiber has managed to write a book that is informative, as well as personal. He details his own bout with cancer, and tells how it affected him both personally and professionally. The program he outlines in preventing cancer is based on extensive research, and his rationale for suggesting these techniques make sense. He goes against western medical tradition in that most medical professionals are more interested in treating existing cancers, instead of preventing them. In his philosophy ... Read More
