Very interesting. I love how you structured the beginning. It really makes you identify with the authors and the struggles they're going through. Looking forward to this.

I hope you enjoy it! It is so well-written that it's fun to read even for a non-fiction story! Thanks for commenting.

"No one ever seemed to sue a doctor for injecting them with mustard gas, but if he were to suggest a change in diet along with pancreatic enzymes, he would face ridicule and ostracism from his peers—and possibly even jail time."

That's quite sad. However, it is not an isolated occurrence when traditional and newer thinking collide. Both perspectives need review and there's no point preventing one from prevailing over the other if we have sufficient and valid reasons to do so. This is especially true if we're dealing with people's lives and those they may leave behind sooner than could be if newer remedies are found. Yet I would also choose to trust a doctor's word. My mum passed away too early from a similar state; like you, I also think it'll be good if there'd be more people who'd find better hope in further medical discoveries and innovations.

Thank you for your thought-provoking review.

You have some good thoughts. I'm sorry to hear about your mother. It would just be nice if the doctors wouldn't discount the alternative treatments so quickly. Perhaps the two could go hand in hand. Thanks!

Your review reminded me of another book recently featured on the OBC, called Winning the War on Cancer by Sylvie Beljanski. It also covers non-traditional methods of tackling this dreaded disease, mostly through dietary changes and supplements. I am fascinated by this topic and usually devour any books related to it, so I really appreciated reading your review. I'll be sure to add this one to my list and hope the author enjoys many years of being cancer free. Thank you for highlighting the merits of this book.

I reviewed that one too! They both have their merits. This one is a bit more about their actual lives. Thanks for commenting.

This sounds like a really inspiring read, especially for those whom conventional medical wisdom does not work. I do personally think that science still has yet to scratch at many surfaces, so I'm definitely intrigued by the characters' thoughts on it. Thanks for the review!

Cancer is a theme, arround which many books are written, both fictional and non-fictional. Nice review. Thank you

Sadly, I think we're more interested in making money than truly curing something. Maybe one day that will change. Thanks!

Very true. Thanks.

This is a very inspirational story for people battling cancer. I wish more research could go into alternative methods, as I've heard a lot of similar stories where alternative methods were used effectively. Thank you for the review.

Alternative therapies can be very successful but don't make pharmaceutical companies any money. So I don't know if you'll ever see them becoming main stream. Thanks for commenting.

This story is similar to a personal family member. The diagnosis was cancer, but the decision was to forgo chemo. The prognosis was 5 years - that was 12 years ago. Alternative therapies and diet made all the difference. I see a lot of similarities with Rodney's story. I would like to see what type of things he did to overcome his cancer - just to compare. Great review!

Wow! That's amazing! I love to hear stories like that! There are great treatments out there that don't leave you as sick as chemo. Thanks for commenting!
