Editorial Review:

Product Description:
A radical synthesis of science and personal experience that advocates a sea change in the way we understand and confront cancer

When David Servan- Schreiber, a dedicated scientist and doctor, was diagnosed with brain cancer, it changed his life. Confronting what medicine knows about the 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 fifteen-year 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.

Anticancer takes us on a serious journey and, ultimately, an empowering one. In the tradition of Michael Pollan, John Kabat- Zinn, Barbara Kingsolver, and Andrew Weil, Anticancer genuinely guides us to “a new way of life.”



Customer Reviews
Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Healthy lifestyle guide
This book is an excellent summary of cancer recurrence prevention strategies by a survivor-physician. It's also good information for those who haven't had cancer and hope to prevent it by making positive lifestyle choices. Not only does it cover information on additives in our food and statistics on details such as the increase in sugar consumption over the past century, it also discusses emotional well-being and the role of physical activity in creating and maintaining good health. The information is backed by scientific data. Dr. Servan-Schreiber's story of his diagnosis of a brain tumor at age 30 is dramatic.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - What a motivator for the healthy reader!
If you don't have cancer and need motivation to stick to a healthy diet and exercise program you will find that this book contains powerful sticks carrots (searing life and death stories and insights into the nature of cancer) that most self-help health books designed for healthy people do not. And the author, a cancer patient himself, provides a detailed program (diet, exercise, meditation etc.) for you to follow.




Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A must read!
This book is an absolute must read! For anyone who may have cancer and anyone wanting to live a healthier life to help increase the chance of NOT getting cancer. Once I started reading this book I had a hard time to put it down. Very interesting and enlightening.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Things you must know to avoid cancer
There are many different sources for information to keep you healthy but here it is all in one book. You can avoid cancer and be healthy while doing it


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent read
Informative and eye-opening. A new way (to me, anyway) of looking at cancer from an empowering point of view, where one makes choices on how to deal with the disease (if you already have it), or how to avoid it for life. I have put in practice a few ideas of the book, and have given a copy to my mom and sister. Highly recommend the read.
