Description:

The New York Times bestseller takes us on an empowering journey and changes the way we think about fighting cancer

David Servan-Schreiber's story of his journey from cancer patient to health combines memoir with a clear scientific explanation of what makes cancer cells thrive and what inhibits them. Anticancer is filled with easy to understand charts and diagrams and a sixteen-page color "Anticancer Action" insert that enables readers to make small but essential changes in lifestyle and diet. Your body knows how to fight cancer, says Servan-Schreiber, and you have to help it with nutrition, physical exercise, stress management, and avoiding environmental toxins. Anticancer enables people living with cancer to adopt a proactive attitude to living, even thriving, with cancer and helps healthy people prevent it.

5Common sense and science come together  Nov 22, 2009
At last, a combination of science, common sense and the information to tie them together. The author guides the reader through his cancer to help explain not only some of cancer's personal issues, but what we as individuals can do about it. Real science, with the references to support the data and concepts. Not a quick fix or alternative to therapy, the book explains a complementary approach and how our food supply and lifestyle have compromised us. details on an anti-cancer (anti-inflammation) lifestyle.

5Anti cancer -- a new way of life  Nov 21, 2009
Excellent book. It is sad that so many Americans are unaware of how what they eat is working against their health. I thought I was fairly well acquainted with nutrition, but this books adds to my knowledge, and points to specifics for making the correct, and better choices.

5Anticancer: A New Way of Life  Nov 15, 2009
This is the most useful book I have purchased. It made me aware of what I am eating and has changed my way of life. Well worth it!

3wonderful to read but has a few mistakes....  Nov 03, 2009
This book was wonderful for me to read. I am a cancer survivor and am cancer free long after the time I should be gone and this book puts all the truths I found for myself about diet and emotions and living cancer free in an excellent format and sequence. It took me years to find all that information. What a joy it would have been to have had this book at that time. I give this book three thumbs up!

Okay, I am adding this note to this review and downgrading it to a three because of some misleading information mostly regarding the use of sugars. The author recommends avoiding sugar and honey, etc and going with agave and zylitol. I did a bit more research and it is hard to beat the health benefits of honey so I diasgree with him on that one and I tried zylitol and got horrible stomach pains. It is a total mess in my mind. As for Agave, new research says it isn't as low glycemic as it has been touted to be and it does not have the health benefits of honey. My recommendation is go low on sugars and when you have to, use honey. Forget Agave and Zylitol.

5Easy Read and Well Researched Information & Advice  Nov 03, 2009
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.
