The Definitive Guide to Cancer is exactly that, a guide. July 25, 2010

The Definitive Guide to Cancer is exactly that, a guide. It is not a book with incoherent facts and figures but rather it explains and guides possible ways to improve your quality of life and ability to heal. It addresses specific cancers, and with each kind of cancer addressed it provides information on the causes, conventional treatment options, and always complementary approaches; like improving your lifestyle and diet with natural supplements. To me, the idea of being diagnosed with cancer of any kind is a tumultuous part of anyone's life, and in seeking a guide to prevent and heal, the only thing i would ask for is literature that presents the facts as sincerely as this book does. The content of this book is reassuring because the authors present their knowledge and information in a straight forward and honest manor. When it comes to an integrative approach to prevention, treatment, and healing I couldn't think of anything better to recommend!
information plus inspiration July 30, 2010
Brigitte Ruhe (Amherst, MA, US)
It is always bad news to hear that you, a friend, or family member has received a cancer diagnosis. As a person with cancer or a loved one, it is easy to feel powerless. You have probably noticed that everyone you speak with has some piece of advice about treatment, and it can be overwhelming to sort through all that information on top of everything else you have to do. The Definitive Guide to Cancer is a helplessness antidote.
This book makes it easy to find the information you need and put aside well-meaning advice that isn't grounded in evidence of effectiveness. In addition to the incredibly well researched information, you will be able to read the stories of many other people affected by cancer.
Information plus inspiration is a powerful combination.This book is the first thing I give to anyone I know who has been diagnosed with cancer.

Our Choice for Patients to read August 4, 2010
Jacob Schor
The majority of patients I see in our office have come to us because they have cancer and want more options than what they are offered in their oncologist's offices. They have read that diet, exercise, nutritional supplements and other natural techniques may help them in their fight against cancer. Yet their oncologists can provide little or no information on what else they can do along with surgery, chemo and radiation.
Often these people are desperate and turn to the internet to find things that might help. Never was the phrase, "Buyer Beware" more applicable to those seeing cancer cures online. Much of my time with new patients is spent answering questions spurred on by unproven and rather suspicious claims of miracle cures. I have long sought out a book that I could hand our patients that would provide an honest roadmap of the path that lies ahead of them. A book that covers cancer from both sides of the path, the standard medical oncologic approach and the alternative and complementary approach. A book that helps people integrate both approaches together so that they can get the best of both. In the end is not how patients get better but getting them better.
This book is the one we have chosen to use in our office and we currently purchase them by the box. I haven't found a better book for our purposes. It's honest, straightforward, well written and covers almost all the topics that need to be covered. If this you are only going to read one book about cancer, this is a good choice.
