The Cancer Conqueror by Greg Anderson
The social exclusion that globalisation seems to foster, and the widening gap it facilitates between rich and poor in developed as well as in developing nations, can no longer be ignored. Accordingly, the concept of social rights, originally introduced in the European Social Charter of 1961, has once again come to the forefront of international and comparative labour law. The book contains the reports of the International Conference held in Brussels, on 9 May 2000, which was organised by The Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium and the Society for Social and International Cooperation, in collaboration with The Council of Europe, The European Union, and The International Labour Organisation. The goal of this Conference was to investigate ways of building bridges between economic and technological market-driven developments on the one hand, and fundamental necessities of a civilised and decently human society on the other. The first paper seeks to identify the social challenges confronting European citizens in the XIst Century. Then follow three reports by eminent members of the Committee of Independent Experts of the Council of Europe describing the rights contained in the European Social Charter, what the Charter means for Central and Eastern European countries, and the relationship between the Charter and the European Union.
Greg Anderson is the Founder & CEO of Cancer Recovery Foundation International, a global affiliation of national organizations whose mission is to help all people prevent and survive cancer. Anderson was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer in 1984. His surgeon gave him just 30 days to live. Refusing to accept the hopelessness of this prognosis, Greg went searching for people who had lived even though their doctors had told them they were terminal. His findings from interviews with over 16,000 cancer survivors form the strategies and action points for what has become an international movement. Cancer Recovery Foundation focuses on the non-medical aspects of cancer prevention and survival. Its award-winning integrated cancer care model combines nutrition, exercise, mind/body, social support and spirituality with conventional medical care. The Foundation has established affiliates in the United States, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom. Anderson lectures widely and is recognized as one of the world's foremost wellness pioneers. His insights have helped redefine the very meaning of health to embrace the whole person-the physical, the emotional and the spiritual.
