The revolutionary, New York Times bestselling guide to the powerful lifestyle changes that fight and prevent cancer--an integrative approach based on the latest scientific research "A common-sense blueprint for healthy living." -- Chicago Tribune "Resonating with cancer support communities and recommended nationwide." -- Los Angeles Times "Life affirming . . . filled with practical advice." -- The Seattle Times David Servan-Schreiber was a rising neuroscientist with his own brain imaging laboratory when, in the middle of an equipment test, he discovered a tumor the size of a walnut in his own brain. Forced to confront what medicine knows about cancer, and all that we still do not know, Servan-Schreiber marshaled his will to live and set out to understand the complex inner workings of the body's natural cancer-fighting capabilities. He soon found himself on a decades-long journey from disease and relapse into scientific exploration and, finally, a new view of health. Anticancer is at once the moving story of one doctor's inner and outer search for wellness and a radical exposition of the roles that lifestyle, environment, and trauma play in our health. Drawing on the latest research in integrative medicine that blends conventional and alternative approaches, Servan-Schreiber concisely explains what makes cancer cells thrive, what inhibits them, and how we can empower ourselves to prevent their growth. His advice details how to develop a science-based anticancer diet (and the small changes that can make a big difference); how to reap the benefits of exercise, yoga, and meditation; which toxic, unsafe products to replace in your home; and how to stave off the effects of helplessness and unhealed wounds to regain balance. Anticancer 's synthesis of science and personal experience marks a transformation in the way we understand and confront cancer. A long-running bestseller that has changed the lives of millions around the world, Anticancer remains a pioneering and peerless resource, an inspirational and revolutionary guide to "a new way of life." Review: Excellent life-changing advice - I was introduced to this book by someone I met while in hospital after surgery for a broken elbow. He was in post-surgery for oral and jaw cancer. This book could easily be titled "How to take action to improve your health", as many of the behaviour changes have benefits for health and wellness in general. The book is a very personal one (the author was himself diagnosed with caner at an early age), very well-written and authoritative (the author is a medic), and the information is trustworthy (the author is a research scientist an everything is based on well-conducted empirical studies). The latter should not put anyone off, as the book is eminently readable. If everyone read this book and put it into practice, the NHS budget could be vastly reduced and hospitals and ambulances would not be stretched to the max. Review: Well worth readinf - Clearly written easy to read for the non scientific reader. A very helpful book full of advice on how to change one's way of eating both for those who already have cancer and for those who may be susceptible to the disease.

Inspirational
This book is so inspirational and informative. It really gave me sense of being able to take some of the control back; of other ways that I could respond to cancer. But I feel it is not just useful for those who have had a cancer diagnosis. It is a way of life that I believe to be useful in managing many other diagnoses. This book is one I shall refer to again and again. And beautifully written!

Lack of concentration.
I am going through chemotherapy at the moment and am finding it a hard read due to lack of concentration, so I can't give a true opinion at the moment.

Thank you...I needed this.
It’s a A beautiful book, im reading it before I go home tobe with my brother who is sick. I bought him the CDs and hope This will give him hope. I wanted to read something that I could incorporate into audio/hypnosis session for him and to help him with diet changes: I will update and let you know how my brother and mother found the audio. So far I’m finding it really inspiring. I’m so glad to be reading it. A side not, it’s Really small print. The older version is much bigger. I have to buy reading glasses to read this one. I bought the 2007 edition and the print was much bigger probably 14 font. This one feels like size 11 font.

Very interesting and informative
After my dad was diagnosed with bladder cancer I set out to look for proactive things that he could do to improve his overall health and, specifically, to create an environment within his body that would best enable it to prevent the cancer from recurring. It has been an interesting process, gathering all the information we could to determine what he could do to best improve his outcome. Interesting especially because of the realization that, in the end, optimum health (obtained through one's lifestyle) seems to be the best way to combat, and prevent, any and all diseases from taking hold in our bodies. So far I've found that this book and the movie "Forks over Knives", were the two most influential sources of the above conclusion. My family has now become vegan (including my mom and dad), eating a plant based diet without any processed foods. I highly recommend this book for people who are interested in understanding how cancer operates from a cellular level and what you can do to inhibit it from thriving and growing.
