Review of Manifesto for a Cancer Patient
[Following is a volunteer review of "Manifesto for a Cancer Patient" by Colleen Huber, NMD.]
Using her eleven years of experience at her naturopathic medicine clinic, Colleen Huber, NMD, details, in Manifesto For A Cancer Patient, the experiences of cancer patients who have been treated at her clinic for at least two weeks, and the various legal and less toxic treatments available in the fight against cancer. The book makes use of tables and a previously published paper to show the methods used at Nature Works Best (Huber's practice) and their effectiveness, along with patient reactions to treatments and dietary recommendations.
The book covers quite a number of puzzle pieces of the bigger picture. These include giving us an idea of why Huber got on this path, the politics that exist within the conventional medicine community, and the politics between conventional and naturopathic medicine, specifically with regard to cancer. Within those, she explains the treatments available on both sides in great detail, her position, and why she takes that stance.
I could not fault the book as the aspects I considered flaws turned out to be contextually sound. On the other hand, the book had some notable good qualities like being an easy read. By 'easy', I mean that I did not feel lost in a whirlwind of medical jargon and statistics. The way Huber structured the book and the tone she generally took made it easier to consume and comprehend the information she was sharing. I applaud her for this great feat as the book is jargon-heavy and contains various forms of data.
In my opinion, the book would be an excellent read for those who lead or want to lead organic and environmentally-friendly lifestyles as it deals with naturopathic medicine. If you are someone who has cancer (or knows someone who does) and are searching for available methods to beat it, this book shares less toxic routes than conventional medicine currently generally offers. For those in the oncology sector wishing to explore other options for their patients, this book might help if you can stomach feeling attacked.
I give the book a rating of 3 out of 4 stars because it had quite a number of errors but none that impeded my enjoyment or understanding of the book, so that is why I still recommend that you read it. It is also because, to my experience, it had no notable negative aspects. On top of that, Huber was somehow able to shed some light on naturopathic medicine without making the book a burdensome read. Because of all of these reasons, I highly recommend that you read this book.
