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.?

A book to share with Everyone !!!

In "Anticancer: A New Way of Life" David Servan-Schreiber M.D. has written a wonderful accompaniment to Colin Campbell, Ph.D.'s "The China Study. Dr. S-S's writing style is clear and concise. He has the gift of being able to make the scientific understandable to all of us. A comprehensive approach to complementary ways of fighting cancer are presented with warmth and caring. After reading "The China Study", I immediately ordered a dozen copies for family and friends. I will do the same with this wonderful book. As a physician, I understand all too well the profound deficit in nutritional education that plagues our medical schools. Thus excellent physicians are woefully uneducated in how the food we eat affects our ability to either promote illness or contribute to our health and well being. This book is comprehensive, including the scientific, nutritional, exercise/physical and the mind/body in a very user friendly way. It is just as important for those of us who are currently healthy as it is for those of us engaged in a battle against cancer. And the possibilities for changes in our children and grandchildren are very encouraging.

Anti Cancer: A New Way Of Life

This is a great book for anyone that has anything to do with cancer. It shows you the benefits of changing your life style, particularly your eating habits. The author had brain cancer, like me, and has lived 16 years since diagnosis. This is unheard of for brain cancer patients. This book applies to brain cancer and all other cancers. It shows you how and what to eat that is healthy and does not invite cancer into your body. As Jim Cramer would say on his "Mad Money" TV show, BUY! BUY! BUY!

Living in the tail of the curve

Having a family member with a rare cancer with a poor prognosis, I have to admit my hope was drained. Everywhere I looked there were no really hopeful answers and one treatment door after another seemed to be slammed in our faces. I am a person of faith, but I realize my faith was dashed by the very medical science we were looking for a cure in. I also look for evidence to support choices. There are many quacks who are preying on people and we've run into a fair share of them wanting to sell us their useless sugar pills in order to advance their down-line. Predators of the worst kind. We found this book and I admit I was sceptical at first, after all, here is another guy with something to sell. When I read Dr Servin-Schreiber's story and the first few chapters, I felt that here is someone who is interested in helping people. Everything is well documented. What Dr S does best in my mind is to give hope that perhaps with lifestyle changes, we can get a better long term outcome. Nothing looks harmful and the diet is really stuff that we've all heard for years. Dr S has done the work and compiled a lot of research into an understandable format and roadmap for anyone to follow, not only to fight the cancer you're in, but to avoid as best you can getting cancer. Dr S and I agree, we need to keep on doing what medical science has given us, but also do what we can with lifestyle to help ourselves in the battle. I bought this book for myself and my wife who's battling this enemy, and will buy it for our children as well. If you have a friend or loved one who's battling the disease, I would suggest getting it for them as well. If for no other reason than to give them hope that they can live in the tail of the curve.

Amazing Book

I have never written a review before, but this book has changed my life and I want everyone to read this so I am taking the time to write one now.
I consider myself a healthy person (I workout, eat "right", etc.), however I now even am not buying organic meat anymore and used to drink decaf coffee and now switched to decaf green tea when I read how many things it does right for your body. Also, I had no idea that something like sunflower oil is not optimal for your health compared with olive oil (I was buying organic pretzels that had sunflower oil and thought I was being healthy!)....
He writes his book so that everyone can understand and yet it provides enough medical research to back up his findings and theories that he is proving. It also brings you close to him when he explains how his cancer affected his life.
Cancer runs in my family and I think about growing up how we had to make sure we had protein (meat) at every meal to be healthy and drink milk, etc. Organic was not mainstream in those days!
This is a must read.

Great book, even if you don't have cancer

This book changed the way I eat and live. The american diet is a breeding ground for cancerous cell growth. I am working to eliminate processed foods & sugar from my diet as much as I can, moving to a more organic lifestyle. The body has truly amazing healing powers, so anything I can do to help it will make a difference in my quality of life all around! Plus, by making smarter choices in my eating habits, I have already lost a few pounds and never had to say the word "diet".
A must read for everyone, but especially important if you or a loved one has cancer.
