Book Review: Easy Read and Well Researched Information & Advice
Summary: 5 Stars
Dr. Servan-Schreiber is a brain cancer survivor and has done a great deal of study on the subject of natural methods of fighting cancer.
The only area where I think Dr. Servan-Schreiber could improve his nutritional recommendations is to eliminate the 18 oz. of grass fed or flax fed meat per week. He recommends that the meat be flax fed or grass fed - with the thought that this will make it healthy. Unfortunately, the amount he recommends will push a person's animal protein intake above the 5% level - the level at which the animal protein may become a tumor growth promoter. I agree with him that grass-fed or flax-fed animals will have a healthier fatty acid profile to their meat, but it isn't just the fat in the meat that is associated with causing cancer, it is also the animal protein itself. I also do not agree with his recommendation of using eggs from hens fed flax for the same reason. Other than those points, I find his nutritional advice quite sound. This book and "The China Study" by T. Colin Campbell are the books that I would recommend to anyone who is fighting cancer or who wants to optimize their health.
Summary of Anticancer: A New Way of Life
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.
