Anticancer by David Servan-Schreiber
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.David Servan-Schreiber, MD, PhD, was a clinical professor of psychiatry and cofounder of the Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He co-directed an NIH laboratory for cognitive neuroscience research and authored more than ninety scientific papers. Anticancer: A New Way of Life, his groundbreaking book, became an international bestseller and was translated into more than forty languages. He's also the author of Not the Final Goodbye and The Urge to Heal. Servan-Schreiber died in July 2011 after a year-long fight with a return of brain cancer.
