Anticancer: A New Way of Life

Highly recommended!! I am a cancer patient and this book is helping me going through the toughest times of my life. I am having my entire family read it too as I know this book will help them understand my situation and how to cope with it. I believe that everyone should read this book, it will help you understand the disease, it teaches you how to eat and live a lifestyle that could help you avoid it, and also it brings a different perspective to those who has family or friend going through it.I also love the way he mixes western and eastern medicine. He uses medicinal terminology in a easy way, so everyone can understand it.

Surely the most important book I've ever read in my whole life.Reading Dr. Servan-Schreiber's (He himself a cancer survivor for twenty years before his death) advices I understood how modern life has surrounded us with endless cancerous agents. Of ultimate importance I've learnt what to do in order to prevent defective cells we all have in our bodies to become cancer. In spite its solid scientific bases, everything you'll read is written in a very simple and plain language.I strongly encourage you to buy and read this book: it will save your life.

This book is plum-full of tips for enabling our bodies to be at their best for overall health and wellness, as well as general disease prevention. The wisdom described within is backed by research as is outlined throughout the book as well. While most of this research was specific to cancer, these ideals are conducive to properly fueling our systems (with various foods, by avoiding toxins, and tending to the psychological aspects of our being as well) and achieving the best possible quality of life. Whether you're looking to beat or defeat cancer, or simply improve overall health - I highly recommend it! I purchased a copy for myself, marked pages and made notes, and then purchased a copy for a friend as well. We can all benefit by incorporating this knowledge into our everyday lives. Happy reading!

This book is fairly easy to read it is very informative.

I am a cancer survivor and this book laid out hard evidence of numerous studies detailing how various lifestyle choices help tilt the odds in my favor in terms of not allowing this hideous disease to ever get a foothold in me again. Interestingly, neither of my oncologists (radiation and chemo were both part of my therapy to eliminate a tumor at the base of my tongue) had read this and neither could give me a detailed answer on lifestyle choices for my future. Hmmm. But I'll always be grateful to them for burning/poisoning this tumor out of me.If you have cancer, if you have had cancer, or if you have a loved one who has had the uninvited guest of cancer in their lives, I highly recommend that you buy and read and study this book. It changed my life and is still the best resource I have in what I will do with the rest of my life in terms of many of my lifestyle choices. I think I now have a boot on the throat of cancer in my life and I am not going to let up in my efforts to prevent a return of cancer into my life. This book was my primary guide on how to achieve that objective. JNL

As the spouse of someone facing a terminal cancer diagnosis, I found the information in this book very helpful. It was balanced between the benefits and limitations of traditional treatments and what people can do outside of medicine to treat and prevent cancer. It makes sense to do everything you can to naturally strengthen your body's defenses to prevent illness and to improve your chances of recovery once you are sick. This updated edition is full of all the latest scientific information and is very readable. Thank you Dr. Servan-Schreiber and wishing you a long and healthy life.

I had just been diagnosed with cancer and I visited a blog of other cancer patients and survivors. One of the women on the blog said she had read this book and recommended that we read it. I immediately ordered it from Amazon.com and was so glad that I did. I immediately started eating the things that Dr. Servan-Schreiber suggested so that I could get my body ready for my upcoming surgery. I felt really good about doing something positive to help my immune system. I would definitely recommend anyone, not just cancer patients, but everyone who wants to improve the health of their bodies.

The book is fantastic but I want to use this as a reference book to help treat my cancer. The paperback has no index for cross referencing, a cheap way to save some money and a big minus.
