Book Reviews of Anticancer: A New Way of Life
Book Review: Give this book to everyone you know!
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I picked up this book I can't stop thinking about how many people in my life need to read it. My list just keeps growing! It breaks everything down about the disease so you really understand what's going on, and it has such great, practical advice. He's been through it himself, and his story is just amazing.
Cancer is really scary, but reading Dr. Servan-Schreiber's story and reading about the research, you get a sense that you're not helpless, and you want to share that with everyone you know. And even though I'm not into charts and graphs, seeing how thorough he has been and how much he relies on medical and scientific data for his advice - it's clear that this guy is for real.
Book Review: Wonderful Book!
Summary: 5 Stars
I do have metastatic breast cancer (stage IV) with mets to my liver. I was only in remission for 8 months and now it's back. This book has helped me tremendously. I have radically changed my diet, exercise program and have gained an inner peace with myself. Dr. Servan-Schreiber has so eloquently written how to think about death, dying and reflection. He also writes in a scientific way how food plays a major role in recovery and is easy to comprehend.
This book is for everyone not just those of us who have cancer. I'm sure this will be one of those books I keep on my nightstand to pick up and read excerpts when I need information or reassurance.
Book Review: Eye opening book
Summary: 5 Stars
I haven't written a book review before, but I felt compelled to write this one. This book is a combination of science, advice and the writer's personal experience with his own cancer. It is very convincing and has motivated me to make substantial changes in the way I eat. The writer talks about how most doctors focus on medicine and not food but emphasizes that you should use diet in combination with conventional medicine. Like most people, I have read articles here and there about green tea and other foods, but this book really helps the reader understand how the body works, how cancers form and how foods impact this. I can't recommend this book highly enough.Book Review: Anti-Cancer

Anticancer: A New Way of Life
I am a Cell Biologist and Doctor of Oriental Medicine and a contributor to the Huffington Post on Integrative Medicine. One third of my practice is Integrative Cancer Care. I recommend this book to my patients. It is one of the most intelligent, well-written, well referenced and accessible books on this topic to educate the cancer patient, the person with a family history of cancer wishing to reduce risk and to anyone interested in understanding how diet and lifestyle choices effect the story of health and disease in our lives.
Book Review: Read carefully
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent book. But do NOT read it fast. Read it carefully. The author glosses over important facts quickly and you must catch them or you are wasting your time. He did not heavily emphasize the fact that you should NOT eat enriched flours of any kind! These flours have to be enriched because they have been processed into nothing but glucose (sugar) which cancer cells thrive on. If you have diabetes, giving up "enriched" breads is better than giving up white sugar (sucrose) as the body can process glucose more rapidly! This is an excellent book in all respects. Read it, read it slowly, and actually try his advice. It cannot hurt!
