3 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
The revolutionary, New York Times bestselling guide to the powerful lifestyle changes that fight and prevent canceran 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 bodys 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 doctors 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. Anticancers 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.

This is a great book to read if you have cancer, if you don't have cancer, if your loved one has cancer, or even if you have proclaimed to yourself that you will read at least a few health related books this year! I loved it. It is a lovely book that has changed how I think about dying...which is not what I expected at all. I will implement changes into my diet, even though I haven't been diagnosed with anything.

Sometimes even books don't help. My cousin died of brain cancer a few weeks ago. Today was his funeral. I found this book on a table from his house. Maybe he got hope from it? Maybe it made him think that he could do something about it? Or did he ever even get a chance to read it? There aren't so many situations where books don't make things better but this might be one of those...

Looking for recommendations please.

My 88 year old mother was diagnosed with breast cancer a month ago. She has had surgery and will be starting chemo (and later radiation) in a few weeks.

I‘m looking for books on nutrition & cancer or any alternative & holistic treatments for cancer. I just ordered the tagged book. Thank you!

wanderinglynn I am so sorry. Sending healing vibes & positive thoughts. 💚 5y
mydearwatson I‘m so sorry 😞. 5y
DaveGreen7777 Sorry your mother is going through this! 😔 If it‘s any consolation, my 80 year old father went through chemotherapy a few years ago. It was completely successful, and he‘s actually in better health now than he was for a good part of his 70s! Hope your mother has similar results! ❤️ 5y
jillannjohn @wanderinglynn @mydearwatson @DaveGreen7777 Thank you. @DaveGreen7777 I‘m happy to hear your father did so well. I haven‘t seen much about the elderly and chemo. It‘s nice to hear it was tolerated well. 5y
cobwebmoth Sending positive thoughts for you and your mother.❤ 5y
