Anticancer by David Servan-Schreiber Md

Anticancer by David Servan-Schreiber Md

When Dr. David Servan-Schreiber was diagnosed with brain cancer, it changed his life. Confronting what medicine knows about illness, the little-known workings of the body's natural cancer-fighting capacities, and his own will to live, Servan-Schreiber found himself on a journey from disease and relapse into scientific exploration, and finally to health. Combining memoir with a clear explanation of what makes cancer cells thrive and what inhibits them, and describing both conventional and alternative ways to slow and prevent cancer, Anticancer is revolutionary in its clarity. It is a moving story of a doctor's inner and outer search for healing; radical in its discussion of the environment, lifestyle, and trauma; and inspiring and cautionary in its certainty that cancer cells lie dormant in all of us--and we all must care for the terrain in which they exist.

“A common-sense blueprint for healthy living”
—Chicago Tribune
 
“Fills an important gap in our knowledge of how patients can contribute to their own care by supplementing conventional medical treatment. I recommend this book to anyone interested in preventive medicine and integrated, complementary approaches to patient care.”
—John Mendelsohn, MD, president, MD Anderson Cancer Center, University of Texas
 
“Resonating with cancer support communities . . . and recommended nationwide on internet message boards.”
—Los Angeles Times
 
“Life affirming . . . filled with practical advice that enables cancer patients to overcome their initial feelings of helplessness and to adopt a proactive attitude of survivorship.”
—The Seattle Times
 
“Servan-Schreiber’s writing offers much more than science. It is full of passion . . . and compassion for his patients dealing with the emotional aspects of serious or terminal illness.”
—Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
 
“Enormously compelling evidence and arguments for participating in our own health by supporting our deep natural capacity for healing. Everybody should read this book and enact its simple but potentially lifesaving recommendations.”
—Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, author of Wherever You Go, There You Are
 
“Anticancer’s message is optimistic, the advice scientifically sound, and the prose highly readable.”
—Fort Worth Star-Telegram
 
“Presents a compelling combination of one doctor’s story of his battle with cancer along with his research into how to fight the disease . . . Readable and moving.”
—Body & Soul Magazine
