I found that i could not put this book down! It was thought provoking and well written. Very good insight into the history of medicinal research in the U.S. and how people are used in this country without their knowlege to "further the common good". Paints a very good picture of how the less fortunate among us can be used to further the quality of health care in the United States without being... more

I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer 1 1/2 years ago and went through surgery and chemotherapy with few problems. Then what? You wait and see if it comes back. The oncologist said there was nothing I could do to increase the chances of remaining cancer-free. Well, not so! This book does a wonderful job of laying out the evidence base for all the suggestions made. The language is clear and... more

|
By: Kelly Corrigan
Publisher: Voice
December 23, 2008
Typically I am a fiction reader, but we are reading this in my book club this month. You can't pick apart Kelly because she's a real in the flesh person, and people aren't as perfect as the characters we can create for fiction.
I work in radiology, so I was interested in the medical/techical parts of the cancer, and the treatments. It was accurate, and put a story behind some of the cancer... more

STRENGTHS:
Hard cover withstands most crashes.
Quality paper repells bicycle grease better than most.
Just fits in my CamelBak M.U.L.E.
The ink doesn't run after riding in a typhoon, though it takes a long time to dry out the book.
The ink smells of adrenaline.
WEAKNESSES:
Heavier than a paperback, making... more

|
By: Charlotte Gerson, D.P.M., Morton Walker
Publisher: Kensington
October 01, 2001
This book was recommended to me by a friend who is a Gerson therapist. While the book is quite thick and I haven't read the whole thing, I have been attempting to apply the principals laid out in the book. This therapy is not for the faint at heart, or for those not willing to conform to some pretty radical dietary (and other) changes, but I honestly would so much prefer to go this route to seek... more

When I was diagnosed with cancer in 2006, this book literally saved my life. It is very action-oriented, which is exactly what cancer patients like me need to regain control of their lives and cope with their diagnosis. If I had not read this wonderful book, I don't know if I would have had the strength, confidence, or the courage to keep my life as normal as possible while I was undergoing treatment... more
