Author: Dr David Servan-Schreiber

Another amazing book on cancer, this one written by a medical doctor who has himself been through the mill with cancer. Explains the lifestyle causes of this dreaded modern illness – toxic chemicals, diet, negative emotions, etc, then follows with an account of anti-cancer foods, how to strengthen the immune system, the contribution of physical activity and how to deal with fear. These guidelines are backed by inspiring recoveries. Plain language, easy to read, all in 293 pages.

What is so remarkable about this book is that it is written by a high-powered medical neuroscientist. The discovery that he himself had brain cancer changed his life forever, and along with overcoming the disease, he founded the Center of Integrative Medicine at the highly conservative University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, USA. The book reveals just how thoroughly he came to understand the disease.

All of us have cancer cells in our bodies, explains Dr Servan-Schreiber, but not all of us will develop cancer. He describes how to lower our chances of ever developing the illness and what to do to increase the chance of recovery with existing cancer.

The doctor’s approach is based on:

Guarding against environmental imbalances;
Adjusting diet to cut back on cancer promoters and load up with phytochemicals that fight tumours;
Healing the psychological wounds that feed the cancer mechanism;
Stimulating the immune system and reducing inflammation.

Successful cases include a man with serious pancreatic cancer who survived for four-and-a-half years, and a 40-year-old Harvard professor who fully recovered from mesothelioma of the abdomen. In a study conducted by Dr Dean Ornish in which 49 men with early-stage prostate cancer adopted an anti-cancer diet and other lifestyle changes, most had reduction in PSA and regression in tumour size.

The things that can activate the immune system are quite fascinating, for example, support from family and friends. If this system is strong it can destroy millions of cancer cells by the hour. Inflammation, as with arthritis and many other illnesses, plays a major role in cancer, and there are lifestyle ways of inhibiting it, such as through laughter and walking.

Nutritionally, cancer is aided and abetted by sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats and junk foods generally. Obesity also comes into this.

The billion dollar question is – why is advice on nutrition still missing from the conventional treatment of cancer? The answer by the author, who knows both sides first-hand, is crystal clear. To validate a new anti-cancer drug costs between five hundred million and a billion dollars, a staggering investment to be recouped. On the other hand, it is not financially feasible to validate broccoli, raspberries or green tea because they cannot be patented and sold exclusively to cover the cost of the investment.
