Yours sincerely, Mr. Benji.
I agree. The amount of dependable literature on cancer is very limited.

Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment!

That's unfortunate to listen about corruption in pharmaceutical companies. These giants are just interested in making money. This book provides valuable information about cancer. Thanks for your insightful review.

When Breath Becomes Air sounds like a wonderful book too, based on your recommendation. Let me try and get my hands on a copy.

I'm glad you found this book information and straightforward. It would be awesome if fewer people were needing cancer treatment options, but at least people are being informed that they do indeed have options.

Libs_Books wrote: 12 Apr 2018, 09:20 I know that there are huge questions about Big Pharma and its role in medical decision-making. At the same time, a quick stroll through the internet also raises some questions about Huber, who I believe is taking legal action over some of the things said about her. Clearly, a healthy diet and lifestyle can reduce our risks of developing some types of cancer so it's good to raise awareness of that.
You're right, there are some allegations against Huber raised by conventional medicine proponents. She addresses them in this book as well. I just believe she deserves the benefit of doubt. If she is genuinely trying to help, I think her voice deserves to be heard as well. Only then will people be able to take an informed decision. What they ultimately choose is up to them.

Yes, the diet and lifestyle changes she suggests are truly worth considering.

I know what you are saying. This turned out to be one of the best books I have ever read on the subject, actually.

This seems like a lot of good information, but probably a terribly dry read. Definitely not to my taste but I feel like my stepdad would love this

A manual that offers naturopathic alternative to cancer patients sounds helpful. I have no doubt about the existence of pharmaceutical corruption, but it is good that the author gives documented evidence of it. Offering diet and activity as a way of treatment is good, but I won't put my trust just on that. That the book was well edited is to the author's credit. Thank you for the review!

Cancer is a very difficult, often sensitive topic to discuss. But that doesn't mean we should avoid discussing it altogether. I like the fact that the author was very real about what her job was. You can sense that she really wants to help her patients. Thank you for the great review.

This sounds like a great resource for anyone interested in alternative medicine for cancer. I can believe that there is corruption in the pharmaceutical industry and I hope this book sheds light on it. Great review.

Cancer is a hard thing to deal with. This book explains the pros and cons of different treatment options. It also exposes the collusion between pharmaceutical companies and the government. Pretty interesting stuff!
